I got back from my one week holiday to Mexico last Sunday, and it was great! My dad took me down as a “finished first year of University” present, which was so nice of him!
The flight took around 3.5 hours (to get from Toronto to Cancun) and it went by quickly. The movie they played was King Kong, which I saw already, but ended up watching again. It’s a good movie, but I don’t think it lived up to all the hype, at least not for me. then we met up with the bus that was to take us to our resort, the Gran Bahia Principe. The drive took around 1.5 hours, and we couldn’t really see much because by that time it was dark outside.
We stopped off at the Gran Palladium Resort first, as some of the people on our bus were staying there. It looked like a nice place as well, though it was too dark to see much of it at the time. A few minutes later we arrived at the Gran Bahia Principe resort, the one we were staying at. The resort is partitioned into four different sections, each with their own lobby and respective facilities; the Tulum, Akumal, Premiere and Coba. Ours was the Tulum.
The Gran Bahia Principe Tulum was in one word, great! It’s an all-inclusive package, so you get all the food and drink you could wish for, plus access to all their facilities. Our room was on the ground floor of one of the many (there must be enough to house several thousand guests) villas, had two double beds and all the rest you’d expect. One of the many, many pools in the resort was just a minute walk away from our room, though I actually never went swimming in one of them, as I much prefer the Ocean. The beach was just a little further than the pool, and the water was great! It’s the Caribbean sea, so you really can’t get much better. In our area it was a little rocky, though just a short treck down the beach it was perfect. The temperature was also perfect, so nothing to complain about at all, I went in the water every day!
