Following the registration procedure we were escorted upstairs where a buffet and bar service were available. (more…)

 Not all resorts are created equally! I just returned from a wonderful 4 night stay at Excellence Riviera Cancun Resort and Spa. This elegant, luxury all adult, all inclusive resort, just minutes from the Cancun Airport is a little slice of heaven. (more…)

I have stayed at both Excellence resorts in the Cancun area - Excellence Riviera Cancun and the Excellence Playa Mujeres. They are by far the best beach resorts I have ever stayed at! (more…)
