Holiday Inn Mexico City Zocalo, Mexico City

Advantages: Fantastic Scenery, Friendly People, Great Food, Cheap Drink
Disadvantages: Big and Hot

...As you may be aware I've spent the last couple of weeks on holiday in Mexico, or that's what I thought. This opinion is not about my stay in Mexico but rather some points to note if you are thinking of Mexico as your destination for your holiday. The holiday itself has given me a lot of material that will probably be spread over several opinions as I've seen headings for the various bits under the Ciao travel umbrella. So here goes, in no particular order , a list of things that hit me about the place. I'll probably add things as they come to me later , but hopefully this will be of some help to you out there: ~~Distance From Britain, Mexico is a ten hour flight , so if possible get the seats with the most room possible. After half an hour you will really appreciate the extra room. My holiday cost around 1500 GBP and 150 GBP... Read review

...Mexico is the best country I have visited as it has it all. Firstly, it is absolutely stunning. The scenery is magnificent, ranging from barren deserts to the caribbean coast to lush forests and waterfalls. Added to this, the ruins to be found throughout the country are spectactular - I was sceptical, not being much of a keen sightseer, but they are well worth the effort! If you get sick of sightseeing, the towns and beaches provide plenty of entertainment. I loved Mexico City - it is so big and vibrant that it has something to please everyone - from beautiful old buildings and parks to lairy bars and Las Vegas-style hotels. The Yucatan peninsula is a must as it contains much of the most spectacular scenery and ruins, as well as the Caribbean coast. The beaches are so beautiful that it is worth visiting Mexico for these alone... Read review
