A Palace Resorts Mexican Tour

So here I was, clumsy me expecting a nice and easy fam. Well guess again..but we will get into that later.
We stayed at the Cancun Palace which I would recommend to singles, couples and all around partiers. Bachelor parties and just a friends getaway.
The shots flowed like water at the pool bar. And there was tons of entertainment. I think a bit risque for little kids but the older teens might find it amusing.
The beach is fabulous and the food plentiful. I had an oceanview room and the view was to die for.
We dined at the Cancun Palace for the entire first day. All you can eat, drink and then some.
The next morning we were to do two site inspections...so I went next door to my friend Hedy's room to have room service. Had to use the bathroom and the lights were out. My room was opposite hers and i was so tired I thought the shower was the throne..so I tripped over the lip of the shower and ended up banging my head on the marble. Hedy's heard me scream and said "Why are you going to the bathroom in my shower"...a joke but she was scared so she called the doctor. He came within 5 minutes. .."If you get sick..I would suggest Mexico"..After giving me a shot in my behind..he left and told me to sleep which I did..missing the sun and beach palace. I had been there before so it was ok..
Clumsy, clutzy...and should be wrapped in bubble wrap is my title.
That night we went to Le Blanc Spa which is the upscale adult version of the other palace resorts...An all white resort...this hotel is amazing. Food was impressive as was the resort.
The next day...an all morning excursion to Moon Palace. It's big. When I say big I mean huge..2500 rooms with another 1000 being built. There is a separate section just for the wedding people. We had a cake tasting and might I said, bring on that icing..!!!
The beach is a little small for my taste but the resort is beautiful.
Back to Cancun Palace to eat, drink and be merry. "Did I say drink"...
We met a wonderful man who was a first responder at 9/11 and he told us the most amazing stories..brings tears to your eyes. He was also a great one for getting bargains on the beach. Silver bracelets galore...(sterling) I might add....and after spending a minimal amount and getting fabulouse jewelry..It was time to leave.
My feeling. Palace resorts is offering up to a $1500 credit toward stays of 7 nights. It is a great bang for the buck and the hotels are certainly 4 star and higher. I don't like the time share people but they didn't bother me at all. I was just pissed that I couldn't sell anything to the people who had time shares.
3days in Cancun..a lot of food....a lot of drink..whatever your pleasure is...and a lot of fun..
Mexico is a very safe place to go. Don't let anyone tell you anything different.
This was a short and sweet fam trip...and I highly recommend it to all of my customers. There is a little something for everyone plus a new palace in Punta Cana

In case you don't know what a fam is...it's a familiarization trip...To familiarize we travel agents with the resorts. With that thought in mind, Last week I took two travel agents with me to Sandals Royal Bahamian. From the last time I was there until now, the resort has changed remarkably. There is fun in the sun. Playmakers that work hard to help you have a good time. Poolside there used to be what I call elevator music...Now reggae...soca and more...games galore..The new General Manager, Patrick Drake along with his staff is just amazing.I was able to arrange a birthday party for a guest with the butler manager Rory (who has an amazing voice) singing for us.
Also visiting Atlantis, which I find way to big and crowded, although beautiful.
We were there for 5 nts. I tasted more booze than I ever did. And had a great great time. One of my new favorites.
I even snorkeled..... sort of. But everyone knows my opinion of snorkeling....
On the way back to the airport we stopped for a bit of fire in de hole erotic rum..A must try..
And only bought 4 fluie vuttons.
See our photos above
