sorted bynaa this is one of my shorter posts x
Possibly one of the dumbest comments Ive ever seen on here. Surely just keeping your mouth wouldn't done?
Shut up you ungrateful moron
You Sir are a total tool !! When someone goes to that length to put as much info into a deal I would give it heat just for that alone. I bet if they had put 'bit of blurb' you would of moaned because of the lack of info.
What's availability like for 50 years ago?
at least it's not on the strip in Cancun.Not far too get out to the ruins at Coba if you could drag yourself away from the poolside bar....
would recommend this hotel
SunshineStacey
would be tempted if it was th 20th
By happy coincidence we are across the road at the Riu Mexico Palace right now for 2 weeks, might see some of you there if you take this deal! Palace is a little better than Tequila, but not by much, certainly not worth the price difference seen here. Hot!
Weather is great right now, but a colleague was on the flight home that we came in on, staying at the Riu Yucatan (next-door), and it lashed it down for 2 weeks.

I've been to Yucatan peninsula, mexico, both september 2012 & june 2013. First time didn't see a cloud or rain the whole 2 weeks. 2nd time we had one rain shower last ~1hr.
Don't be put off the Caribbean coast of mexico by "hurricane season". Even the proper hurricanes which are pretty much done by this time of year don't tend to get as far as mexico.
I would however say that the 'Excellence' resorts (Playa Mujeres and Riviera Cancun) are the best hotels in the area and far far better than any Rui hotel if you're travelling without children.
Bargain for this hotel though. Heat.
What an idiotic sweeping statement (trying to be funny and failing miserably), I suppose you holiday in the Taj Mahal.
Lots to see and do in the Yucatan Peninsula beyond your hotel, such as Chichen Itza, Coba, Xcaret park, the Cenotes, to name but a few.
Taj Mahal.....with the Hoi Polloi? I hardly think so. There might be wonderful things to see in Mexico, apart from the Drug related murders, but people on all inclusives are scared to leave the accommodations incase they miss out on drinks/meals/entertainments. And especially the type who go to Mexico. Just stand near any Airport check-in desk for a Charter flight to the place and count the number of the great unwashed in their vest tops / tattoos / dodgy 'gold' jewellery wearing leggings and tracksuit bottoms. It's like watching a council estate boarding a plane.
ps who's trying to be funny. If you want to drink and eat all day in the sun, never leaving your hotel, save yourself 8 hrs each way flight time and go to Spain, they even speak the same type of foreign !
Remember what this site is for, to spread the word of things for sale significantly cheaper than their normal price. OP has fulfilled that in this case. A Mexican holiday offers many things to many people at a relatively fixed and upfront price, like a trip to Disneyland resort or far east all inclusive resort. How you choose to spend your time there is up to you. I do not possess a sleeveless top, any gold jewellery (Platinum wedding band and a couple of nice watches only), nor do I have any tattoos. In the Yucatan Peninsula drug related crime is pretty much unheard of. I do prefer people to comment based on true experience rather than spouting attention seeking bovine excrement. *added to my ignore list*
When spending nearly £600 the less info the better right?
Just checked this same deal on Holiday Hypermarket and its £560.64pp so this saves you £24.36pp. It will pay some of that departure tax or even a couple of drinks in the airport!!
pffft work always gets in the way of my holidays too
pfft holiday links time out very quickly try this: or you may have to put the details into the search box yourself im afraid...

Hi,
So sorry to bother you.
Just seen your post on the Mexico deal. Please can you help me have a look for deals departing 24th/25th/26th October 2013 for 7 nights.
We want to go for our honeymoon in Cancun but are very cash strapped having spent all our money on the wedding but we would still like to have a nice honeymoon. I have been searching but all the ones I have found are really expensive.
So I would really appreciate your help and any advice you can offer. Do you think if we left it for another couple of weeks we would get a good last minute price?
Thank you.
