Any questions just ask...we emailed the hotel before we went and made all our dining reservations which saved booking when in resort as this was a slow process. You must do the chefs table in the mikado Japanese restaurant

Thank you Sally thats so helpful! I cant wait!

How far in advance did you email them for your reservations?

Its our third year in a row to Mexico just love the place so much, knowhere else seems to compare now. Riveria Maya is amazing, swimming with the turtles on Akumal beach is one of the best moments ever
We looked at that one aswell but we like the beach and thought we might get sick of having to go back and forth on the transport so went for here ...we can still use your hotel though if we want some peace and quiet ...If you would tell all when you get back that would be great

If we could of got a room with a hot tub on the balcony i think it would of swung it but Thomsons dont have them rooms when we go so went for the Akumal instead and the beach ...it will seem strange flying from Newcastle aswell as we havnt for about 7 years

Did you think it was worth just getting Taxis to do trips rather than the rep ..we definatly want to go to Akumal beach ,Tulum etc

Also when you emailed ahead with your dinner reservations did you just use the customer service email address and did they actually take notice ...we have booked a ocean view so really looking forward to going but have just read a couple of dodgy reviews saying load banging music etc and no piece anyware

Hi Helen,

We have been to Mexio twice now and the best way to get about to see Tulum, Akumal Beach, and all the other places on the coast is the public transport.

They have small buses that run up and down the highway called collectivos, if you stand on the side of the road to catch one they will flash their lights if they have space, just wave your arm and they will pull over and pick you up, just get on and tell the driver where you are going then sit down. The driver will shout Akumal Beach etc when you get to where you want to be and you pay him as you exit. They are literally every two to three minutes so you never have to wait long.

These buses run from as far down as Playa del Carman all the way up to Tulum, they are so cheap and wont cost you more than £3 each. Sometimes they are sat waiting out side the hotel gates for guests too.

The first time you catch one its quite daunting but by the end of the two weeks its like your a local It saves an actual fortune on trips with Thomsons as they are quite expensive.

If you have any questions just ask!
