Back from Mexico

We got back into town last night and we had a great trip. It was nice and relaxing. Everything; the food, the drinks, the room was wonderful. We stayed at the Valentin Imperial Maya. I recommend this resort to anyone. It is adults only. We went on Apple Vacations.



Here is my review: The flight down was fine. It was about 3 hours and we arrived in Cancun at 9:10am. Customs was a breeze and the transportation was there waiting for us. It was about a 25 minute drive to the resort. We were greeted with a marg and a cool, damp cloth. They escorted us to our check in table. And this brought the worst part of the vacation. They seemed to have lost our reservation. Great. I pulled out all my confirmations, copies of the reservation that I had made and showed him that I was confirmed. He said that they had me scheduled to arrive the day before and all the travel agent trips (which is what we went on) were a no show so they canceled our reservation. They told us to go grab breakfast then come back and they would have a room for us. So we did and we came back and they had upgraded us to a Golden Jr. Suite Swim out room. So we had a private pool right outside our room. Life was good again. So we went to our room, got settled, changed into pool attire and headed to the beach. The beach was red flagged all week though due to a hurricane approaching and was very windy. So we took a little walk down the beach checked out the main pool then decided since it looked like rain that we would go to our pool and relax. The first night we went to the steakhouse and it was delish. The next few days were pretty much the same, wake up, go to breakfast (huge buffet breakfast with many options for whatever you could possibly want. PLUS the self serve mimosa station was an added bonus) then we would check out the beach to see if it was still red flagged (it was) then head to the big pool. We would get a drink, usually a frozen marg and lounge in the pool until we were ready for lunch or it started raining and we would decide that it was time for lunch. We altered between the sit down restaurant for lunch and the huge lunch buffet. Both were wonderful. Then since it would be raining without a doubt we would head to our room and nap or float in the pool until it was raining to hard to be out there. Around 6:30 we would head to dinner, the second night was Italian and the 3rd French. (we went back to the steakhouse the last night since the other restaurants we wanted to go to were closed) I must say the French was by far our favorite. We had the best French Onion soup ever and tried Chateaubriand (not sure if that is how it is spelled) for the first time. It was the best steak ever and they served it with a buttery sauce and some sort of gravy to dip it in. Wednesday (our last day) was the nicest the weather was all week. Both Dan and I got burnt and enjoyed the pool all day. We also got to take a tour of the different kinds of rooms which was nice. We were sad to see it end but all in all it was a wonderful week. I will post pictures here in a little bit.
