James Whitaker from Travel Designers explains why Mexico is one of his favourite destinations he likes to recommend to his customers.
Mexico is one of my favourite destinations to recommend to my customers. Having been in the travel industry for almost ten years, I was made aware of the high standards offered by the five-star Mexico resorts and the premium all-inclusive packages available early on when meeting with hoteliers and suppliers for training. I absolutely love the Caribbean, and had originally seen the Caribbean Coast of Mexico as a slightly second-rate relative, but following my first holiday to the destination in 2014, I was proven totally wrong!
In 2015, I was fortunate enough to be hosted on an AM Resorts Fam Trip which really showed me the Mexican difference. To go to a luxury five-star property with up to ten a la carte restaurants, sip away on any premium branded cocktail around a pool bar and have a high-end room for a fraction of the cost of what you would pay on one of the islands ? what?s not to love?
After a direct ten hour flight over to Cancun, I would recommend a private transfer as there are a lot of resorts that you could end up stopping at for other guests, even if your hotel is located just 30 minutes from the airport. To the north of Cancun International Airport is the exclusive area of Playa Mujeres. The famous hotel zone is located a hop, skip and a jump from Cancun airport and is home to the high-rise hotels, packed tightly in with bars, restaurants and clubs all within walking distance. This is definitely the area for party animals, as well as holidaymakers looking for a taste of the action during a relaxing beach break.
Further south is the stunning Riviera Maya, Playa Del Carmen and Tulum; all sprawled with fantastically priced all-inclusive properties ranging in standard. Whether you have clients travelling as a family, a couple on their honeymoon or friends travelling together; there is something for everyone in Mexico.
