...We stayed in this hotel for a few days while on a little tour of the Yucatan peninsula in Mexico, including visits to Cancun (don't bother), Playa del Carmen & Cozumel (much better) and the amazing ancient Mayan ruins at Uxmal, Chitzen Itza and Tulum. (I'll try and get round to reviewing all these later...)
We arrived by taxi from Merida airport (a short journey), having flown in from Cancun, where we had arrived in Mexico the day before, and were delighed with what we found, a massive improvement of the brash touristy-ness of Cancun !
The Casa del Balam Hotel was formerly the family home of Fernando Barbachano Peon, pioneer of Mexican tourism. A blend of Mexican tiles, terracotta and wrought iron, it has a small pool in a walled courtyand, complete with a stone carved fountain and tropical plants, a restaurant and bar, along...

Advantages: Offers something for all age groups Disadvantages: Out of centre of town
...This hotel is of an excellent standard. I work in the travel industry so would say I have very high standards. The decor of the hotel is of a very high standard and the service is second to none. This hotel deserves the 5* rating I have given it. It has entertainment to suit all age groups and you can be as busy or quiet as you want to. I would return to this property again without any hesitation. The pool area is very large and appealing. More than adequant sun loungers for guests. The food is of a very high standard and I found it catered for all tastes. You could eat plainly or really let your taste buds run wild. It is ideal as a family or couple. It is set at the quieter (and in my opinion, nicer) end of puerto Del Carmen were you find nice coves for bathing. It is also very easy to get in and out of the main centre of the resort....

...We stayed in these apartments in late Septemder and thiught they were great.
They are in the centre of Puerto del Carmen and are rally close to the beach just 200 metres and the main strip of bars, pubs and restaurants. There are supermarkets located at each end of the street. Use the hill beside the spar as it is not as steep as the one on the left which they call cadiac hill.
The apartments we stayed in were opposite reception they are 1 and 2 storied in three different locations - oppsite reception and pool and to either side of the pool. The apartments are spacious and have large a living/kitchen area, bathroom and bedroom. There is a tv in the room with some English Channels however you can pay at reception to get more channels like movies.
We found them extremely clean and the maid cleaned every day. We always had fresh...

I have rather long eyelashes anyway but have used normal eyelash curlers for years to get a more wide eyed look and Coup De Theatre mascara to get a fake lash look as I like to make the most of my rather unusual eyes. They are my best feature I have been more
