We landed in Cancun around four hours later just as the sun was setting. It seemed that it had been a very long day of traveling so far, even though there is only one hour time difference between Phoenix and Cancun. Dan’s bag was first one off the carousel, mine coming shortly after. Customs consisted of a bag xray and then you simply press a button where a woman sits and if it’s green you go through and if it’s red your bags are searched. Very bizarre. Lucky we scored the green and we off in our pre booked shuttle to Playa Del Carmen. As we like to say this week, we are having a holiday from our holiday! We are staying at the Rui Tequila. It’s a lovely resort next to the sea and basically you can share all the facilities of the other Rui resorts nearby (except the Palace as we discovered). As we are doing an “all inclusive”, which seems to be the way to go in Mexico, it means we can eat, drink and use the water activity equipment wherever we like. What a great idea!When we booked here we had a few reservations about the all inclusive thing thinking that it would be average food and not much choice in the drink side. We were wrong. The drink list is massive including heaps of cocktails and our room has a fully stocked fridge and a wall mounted thing of litre bottles of alcohol that are restocked every two days.
The food is also restaurant quality. We are going to roll out of here in a weeks time! The room itself is lovely with a massive bathroom and balcony overlooking the lush gardens, but really, it is a very sanitized version of Mexico and the resort is very similar to ones we have stayed in Phuket and Bali. So we are simply going to relax and catch the sun (nights are low twenties and days are high twenties for the rest of the week it seems) before we head off to real Mexico.
