I am in the travel industry as an editor of a free travel newsletter and ofcoruse, I love to travel. Members of our newsletter email me questions for travel advice all the time, so I thought it would be fun to start a travel forum on Gather. Ask me questions - ask me for deals on places you would like to go to! I know where to find them and I have also personally travelled extensively.
My job is to find the best deals available for our newsletter and let people know about our newsletter. What is really cool is that we come across every kind of travel from a Caribbean Cruise, to a hotel in California, to an exotic adventure trip to South America, Asia, etc..
You may have heard about the Riviera Maya, about 30 minutes from the center of Cancun, close enough to the city- but away from it all! A personal favorite for me, there are secret, private beaches everywhere! Once you are in the all inclusive, there is not much reason to leave. Iberostar Paraiso Maya is running a great deal tight now. It is a spectacularly designed resort on one of the most beautiful beaches on the Riviera Maya. The service is top notch and friendly- rooms are very large and elegantly appointed. The pool complex has its own wave pool-a hit for the kids-a lazy river and many interconnected gigantic pools- Highly recommended for families and couples alike. Iberostar Paraiso Maya features five pools , lake-style pool, lazy river, wave pool, children pool and activities pool, five bars and lounges, five air conditioned specialty restaurants, one buffet restaurant for breakfast and lunch only, a pool-side snack restaurant and dine around with access to all bars and restaurants at the sister hotels Iberostar Paraiso Beach, Iberostar Paraiso del Mar and Iberostar Paraíso Lindo. Starting prices are $835pp for Air & 4nt All-Inclusive Resort.
There are great deals in Cozumel, known for snorkeling and scuba, this little island is off of Cancun. I found out that Apple Vacations charters their own planes and has very good relationships with the hotels, getting you the best prices, rooms and airfares possible. There is a big "SummerSun Fare" deal going on right now. Read the details on each hotel and understand just because the deal is advertised for 3 nights, you may be able to stay longer and still pay a low amount. A starting cost is $749+: w/Air & 3nts All-Inclusive In Cozumel (it will depend on what airport you are coming from).The Occidental Grand Cozumel is a luxury resort situated on the southwest end of Cozumel island on San Francisco Beach, across from Playa del Carmen on the mainland. Enjoy a variety of land and water sport activities daily. The all inclusive part means you can enjoy La Posada international buffet restaurant, open in morning, noon and night or guest may also choose to dine in the a la carte restaurants (Mexican, Steak and Mediterranean) If you are not interested in that particular location or hotel, scan the page or the website, there are tons of choices catering to family, partying friends and couples.
If you want to be in the heart of Cancun, check out Grand Oasis Viva Beach - All Inclusive Brand NEW, only $99pp! Grand Opening is now! This resort is located in the center of the Hotel Zone, within easy walking distance of the Convention Center, shopping, bars and restaurants. If you book this hotel as an airfare package (which is usually the best way to go), there is a company that will take off $200 from your airfare.
