i'm back from cancun... what did i miss?
we originally booked our stay at Xpu Ha Palace (pronounced Ess Poo Ha - means the Lagoon or something like that). Off the strip and as far away from the college kids as much as possible. The place was just okay. It was meant for a family retreat with wild animal parks in between the clusters of bungalows. Unfortunately, it is the raining season now and the place was infested with misquitoes. the place has pretty nice beaches and just okay restaurants, about 4 restaurants and about 3 or so bar/grills spread out. the bungalows are a cool idea, but its not for me. if they were on the beach like advertised, then i wouldn't mind at all... but the setting is a jungle setting. the animal parks had a croc pool, deer park, monkeys, jaguars, etc... everything is spread pretty far apart from one another so they used alot of golf carts to shuttle people around. after the 2nd night, we had enough of Xpu Ha. We went over to Adventura Spa Palace and transfered over. This place is magnificient. IMO, its on the scale of the Bellagio in Las Vegas. Tile and marble everywhere. The theme of this place is a Spa. They gave us a presidential suite, which is about 1500 sq ft, has its own lobby, living room, dining room that seats 10, servents kitchen, wrap around balcony, 2 bedrooms, etc etc etc... its nicer then my first house. the Palace resorts are all inclusive. we really didn't have to pay anything, not even tip. but we did because the service is so good. at the lunch buffets, the waiters take your plates back to your table for you. also, everyone's english is excellent and i mean excellent. they speak better then most high school kids in the usa. we had a couple's 3.5 hr massage session in one of the ocean huts that was just awesome. we're part of the vip vacation club membership there now. the Palace resorts do have 3 other resorts on the main strip in Cancun. But like i said, i wanted to avoid the younger crowds and stayed off the strip. my next trip, i'll stay take the whole family to the Moon Palace and take another presidential suite. anyways.. here's pics... with subsequent followup posts of more pics.

Thanks for sharing the info & the photos! One question: did they not have a regular beach there? Looks like a sharp drop off into the ocean, with small lagoons behind.

Nice pics! Glad you had a good time!
While you were gone: 1. The Supreme Court decided it was OK for a government to seize local property if it views it in the "better interest of the community." 2. The Spurs won the NBA title. 2a. The NBA and the Players Association agreed on a new bargaining agreement. 3. F1 fucked up ANY chance it ever had to win over the American market. 4. Tom was laid off after 12 years with Merryl Lynch. 5. Dr. Fred picked up his car in Munich. 6. JV plunked some money down for a new Charger SRT8 (or something like that) 7. CJ's been driving everyone in Spain crazy with comments like "did I tell you what happened when I tried to buy Xenons for my BMW?" 8. Maria Sharapova is once again showing that she's both gorgeous AND a good tennis player. 9. Most of us showed our desktops. 10. Two African Americans were killed in Jamaica, but we have not heard ONE single word of it because we're too fascinated with the pretty, blonde, 18 year old who disappeared in Aruba. 11. Bimmerfest (now called Bavarian Fest) East will be held in CT in August. 12. The French still suck. Juan
