Paradise in \n Cancun <\/span><\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

One of the exciting aspects of being in the travel industry is the ability to go into various webinar locations and check out which properties clients might enjoy.\u00a0 Once we knew about the Cancun possibility we inquired of other travel partners which properties they liked best in the area.\u00a0 Highly recommended were the AM Resorts properties that include Secrets (adults) and Dreams (suitable for families).<\/p>

\"CLM<\/a>After taking Master Agent classes in the AM Resorts brand (takes 2-3 hours online) we contacted the Sales Manager at Secrets the Vine as it was in close proximity to the two Marriott properties explored in my previous BLOG post.<\/p>

Our host Ana was gracious in showing around my husband Larry, myself and our business partners Karen and Jim Wilson.\u00a0 An interesting note for the resort itself is they host wine tasting twice a day from their huge assortment of wines.\u00a0 As it was about time for lunch we decided to try out the more icy inclusions at a restaurant near the beach.<\/p>

While we were dining inside (wide array of food choices) on various dishes, they set up an enticing buffet outside and decided next time we would try that.\u00a0\u00a0 There were hot dogs and hamburgers cooked to order right by the pool, as well as a complete Mexican display to choose from.\u00a0 Yummmmmmmm all the way around.\u00a0\u00a0 And you realize, of course, this resort is ALL-INCLUSIVE, so I doubt we would have complained at most anything.\u00a0 However in all honesty the food was quite tasty.<\/p>

Below you will see a couple of nice drink choices, plus a balcony from one of the rooms that had lounge-type chaise furniture to enjoy.\u00a0 It was the same type offering at the pool except the lounges were more bamboo in a dark brown color but equally as comfortable.\u00a0 Nice surroundings to say the least!<\/p>

\"drinks<\/a>\"\"<\/p>

Rooms were simply and comfortably decorated, with bar areas in various places around the resort where smaller snack type food is offered.\u00a0\u00a0 Obviously in the day we spent there food was constantly available.\u00a0\u00a0 Kind of like a cruise, one never goes hungry at an all-inclusive!<\/p>

\"\"<\/p>

\"cc4<\/a> \"\"<\/p>

\"\"One of the favorite parts of the day was hanging out by the beach and pool overlooking the ocean, then going down for a walk in the waves.\u00a0 Does life get any better than that?!!!!!\u00a0 You can see the parasail in the distance and various types of activities.\u00a0 Non-motorized sports are included at the resort and once again, the sound of the ocean waves continued to remind us all of life\u2019s blessings.<\/p>

Following the Secrets all-adult jaunt, we were invited to head South to another beach property.\u00a0\u00a0 Dreams Puerto Aventuras offers families a great way to enjoy time together, but it was an interesting taxi ride adventure to get there.<\/p>

We did a little bartering until one of the bellman found us a young man that fit our price range for the trek.\u00a0 \"\"His car, however, left a bit to be desired as we lumbered along the highway.\u00a0 Driving in any country when one isn\u2019t too familiar with the surroundings is an adventure but this young man apparently had a timing problem with the engine and every now and then we would jump at the sound of a big \u201cPop\u201d thinking we had either been shot or a tire had just blown out.\u00a0\u00a0 What might have been a shorter ride ended up taking a bit longer as we stopped occasionally to dust off the wires under the hood and walk around the car to see if it was OK.\u00a0\u00a0 What can I say?\u00a0 Life is an adventure!\u00a0\u00a0 We laugh about that fond memory even today.<\/p>

Years ago when I worked for Ports of Call Travel Club in Denver, CO I had traveled and stayed along the southern coast in the Playa del Carmen area.\u00a0 All that prior experience came to light as I finally realized we were way South of Puerto Aventuras and had to turn around and go back to find the resort nicely tucked away off the main highway.\u00a0\u00a0 Yes indeed life IS an adventure for sure!<\/p>

\"dolphin<\/a>We had read and studied about the Dreams property and were excitedly surprised as we walked past the on-site \u201cdolphinarium\u201d where a trainer was working with and training a dolphin right on property.\u00a0 Our Sales Manager Jacky explained the package for families to swim WITH the dolphins is quite reasonable \u2026 and definitely would be a place we would recommend for our friends and clients.<\/p>

Celebrating our friend Karen Wilson\u2019s birthday was especially fun at the restaurant that rescued us from a sudden downpour.\u00a0 By the time we finished cake and ice cream we were ready to tour the rest of the resort.<\/p>

We found the artwork in the hallways interesting and unusual.\u00a0 The rooms were lovely and \"Karen<\/a>people who were staying there had nothing but rave reviews about the stay.<\/p>

\"art<\/a> \"art<\/a><\/p>

\"bed<\/a><\/p>

One o\"Pool<\/a>f our favorite features at Dreams is the lounge chairs right in the pool with the adjacent swim-up bar.\u00a0 After all, what better way to take advantage of the all- inclusive feature than to \u201ccool off\u201d at the bar.\u00a0 Never a dull moment!<\/p>

And to end some perfect time away from home, it\u2019s always nice to enjoy a sunset on the beach.\u00a0\u00a0 ANY beach!\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Being back in Cancun after a few years made us realize all over again how great we are blessed by being able to book travel through our own website www.CLMPeaceTravel.com<\/a> and get paid commissions.\u00a0 Cruising or not, \"Sunset<\/a>it\u2019s all still fun.\u00a0 In the next BLOB we\u2019ll visit the last 2 resorts we took advantage of while in Cancun — the Gran Caribe Real Resort and the Hyatt next door.<\/p>

Happy cruising through life until next time.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
