Mexico - All Inclusives

We enjoy going to Mexico when the weather is cold at home.  It's a little summer in the middle of winter. Our first trip to Mexico was in 2010 (April 18-25).  We flew to the Cancun airport and stayed at Grand Sirenis Riviera Maya Resort. The Concierge told us it was safe to wait on the highway for the local bus (really a van).  We did this.  Went one direction to the town of Playa Del Carmen. The other direction from the resort took us to the Tulum Ruins.

The second trip to Mexico was in 2012 (Jan. 21-28). It was to the west coast of Mexico, to Puerto Vallarta. We stayed at the Canto del Sol hotel. We took a couple tours, one was to city centre, and also to San Sebastian in the mountains.  In January 2013 we went to the same resort in Puerto Vallarta, but this time we walked to downtown and spent some time wandering thru the shops.  We were back to our hotel in about four hours.  You have to start early, or it gets too hot.

In Oct. 30-Nov.6, 2012, we went to Huatulco, Mexico. It's further south on the west coast of Mexico.  It is a newer area so not quite as busy.  We went on a city tour and a tour of local condos. It was the first flight of the season and not everything was up and running yet.  It was warmer early morning, than in Puerto Vallarta. At six o'clock you could already sit on the balcony and have your coffee, it was warm enough.
