We just arrived from Mexico and I want to write a couple of lines about the country and the hotel while I still have fresh impressions. The tour was bought from the travel operator HAPPY COLUMBUS, which is located on Okipnaya, 4b. I must say right away that we were not going to fly to Mexico at all, we could not even dream of getting there. One fine morning I opened my mail and saw a newsletter from a travel agency. I almost never read them, but here the vacation is coming soon and the long-awaited Turkey is just around the corner. To be honest, I was very surprised to see the price of Mexico-2985 USD. It's for two with a flight. This year, there are also hotels in Turkey that we have been visiting for more than a year. Naturally, I thought that there were some pitfalls and I would have to pay extra for this . . and for that ...I called back, no, everything is as written. In short, we decided to change our plans, as we are well aware that now is not the high season in Mexico and only now we can afford to visit this country.
Transaero-13 hours flew from Moscow, they were fed twice, so if you eat more often, it’s better to take food with you on the plane. Buying on an airplane is a problem. We met at the airport, got to the hotel without any problems, drove for about an hour. Surprisingly, the most favorable exchange rate is at airports. You can also exchange currency in large hotels, exchange offices and banks. Credit cards and traveler's checks are accepted in most shops and restaurants. Also, in some stores you can pay in dollars, but you will receive change in pesos. The reception has Russian-speaking staff. The hotel is something - a huge, very beautiful area, a magnificent beach with white sand. It consists of a complex of 3-storey villas 100 meters from the beach and 3-storey villas near the beach, called the Akumal zone with sea views - we lived there. This is something extraordinary, we could not even dream of such impressions.
Wifi - free in the lobby, paid in the room, I can’t say how much it costs, we didn’t need it. In this paradise, they decided to leave all issues related to that other world for later. The food is just beyond praise, everything is delicious. Grilled seafood - we have not eaten this yet, although my husband orders all kinds of delicacies everywhere in all countries - here is beyond praise. The local cuisine is simply amazing with its delights - “tacos” - corn cake stuffed baked on coals, “salted” - fried meat, rolled in cornmeal, flat cakes with various fillings of meat, vegetables and spices. Delicious boiled pork with vegetables or roasted on a spit, lamb in Mexican style, beef with beans or beans, a variety of poultry dishes, spiny lobster with avocado. It is impossible to compare with any other countries we have visited.

Fed EVERYWHERE, tequila EVERYWHERE - on the territory of 6 restaurants, 9 bars, 2 pools in the form of a lake, for children there is a separate shallow entry, a huge open-air jacuzzi. Served during the day at the pool and on the beach In the evening there are performances, live music is played in the bar. The locals are friendly towards tourists. The local way of life is calm and measured. We were very lucky with the weather, for all the time it rained several times, but they end so quickly that it did not interfere at all. We went on excursions with a Russian-speaking guide. In general, there were about ten Russians in the hotel. We all got to know each other and almost always traveled together.
There were no Ukrainians at all - Muscovites were even surprised - how we could afford such a vacation (this is their opinion about us - a poor country with impoverished inhabitants) I really liked Mexico City - no other city in the world can be compared with Mexico City in terms of the number of unique architectural objects, there are about one and a half thousand ancient buildings, the most interesting of which are: the Aztec pyramid, the National Palace, the Municipal Palace, the Jesus Nazareno hospital.
The days flew by very quickly, it seemed to us that we ended up in another world somewhere far from civilization, all sorts of problems and some everyday troubles. I really did not want to go back - well, at least another week. For some reason ten hours flew back. So to everyone who dreams or how we accidentally got to Mexico, I want to wish you a good rest. And don't be afraid of the off-season. You can travel to Mexico all year round.
The only restriction is that if you want to visit Yucatan or the Gulf Coast, you need to go there in winter to avoid tropical hurricanes. And for Cancun (as I called it, it's around the corner from the Yucatan - you can see it on the map) the weather is wonderful all year round. Of course, it may be better to rest there in the winter, but the prices will be twice as expensive and there will be twice as many vacationers. Mexico has become my second favorite destination in the world, after French Polynesia.
