i read the review about cancun with great interest and also with great thankfullness. i was fortunate enough to visit cancun last october and had a fabulous time. it was an unexpected trip as i had origanaly planned to spend that week with my brother in portugal. those plans fell through and i didn't want to waste my holiday so i got a bargain return fare of £250 to cancun. i arrived having booked myself a small appartment close to the most beautiful ...
...cost me something like £100 for the week. the sea was so clear and the weather was amazing. i was aware that it was hurricane season but nothing about the scene i was greeted with said that there was a hurricane on the way. my accomodation was in pok ta pok. it was clean, basic and filled my requirements. the staff who ran the appartments were friendly however, if i asked for something, i had to ask for it to be done there and then or i was left ...

Review of Welcome To Hell

Coco Bongo night club

Advantages: Having a great time!
Disadvantages: The cost

...friends travelled by coach to CANCUN to visit the well-known nightclub 'coco-bongo'. In my opinion, It was one of the best experiences i have ever had! The entertainment was amazing, there was impersonitaors there such as Beyonce, Elton John, and the late Michael Jackson! You were aloud to dance on the bars and even had the chance to appear on the big screens! that way EVERYONE can see what your up to ;)!. I think that the atmosphere is great and ...

Review of Cancun (Mexico)

Coco Bongo Party, Show & Disco

Advantages: Open Bar, Decent Shows
Disadvantages: No Seating, Problems for Smokers

...what can I say about Coco Bongos? Firstly if you are wanting to go I recommend you buy your tickets in the morning/afternoon as they are around $5 cheaper up until 10pm, I also recommend getting there early or else you will have to wait in a loooong queue which isn’t fun in the Mexican heat believe me! Beware of people selling wristbands in the street also, yes some of them are legit but seriously would you wanna take the risk and end up throwing ...
...god you must go to Coco Bongos best night of your life ever, and yea okay we had fun but I have had better so yea if anyone can tell me what we missed that would be great thanks lol. If you do decide to go here for the night I recommend having no plans for the next day, except maybe some sunbathing because I can assure you, you will have a hangover! Thanks for reading my review I hope you have an awesome time if you are heading to Mexico and enjoy ...

Review of Coco Bongo, Cancun, Mexico

The New Adventures of Old Vallarta

Advantages: Lovely promenade and old town, great weather
Disadvantages: Not many restaurants in the hotel zone

...Marina, in-between the resorts of Puerto Vallarta and Nuevo Vallarta. The only taxi service available is the extortionate 'authorised-airport-taxi' set-up, which cost us 195 pesos (just under £10) to our hotel in the hotel zone. That may not sound too bad, but coming back we picked up a taxi right outside the hotel and it cost 50 pesos (£2.50) for the same journey in reverse. There are 3 main parts to Vallarta, and we explored all of them. PUERTO ...
...to the north end of Puerto Vallarta and boasts various large complexes, plus the sort of smaller place we stayed in. Unfortunately you cannot walk along a promenade here as the hotels are built right onto the beachfront, with no access except to residents. You can get onto the beach itself quite easily, but unless you want to walk along the sand, you have to head back to the road. There are virtually no restaurants round here, because most of the ...

Review of Puerto Vallarta (Mexico)

not only "vice and sin"

Advantages: *****
Disadvantages: -

...just kept the control of Tijuana after the Mexican revolution.. From 1915 this city became a destination for some Americans of San Diego that come here for horse races and cockfights, to bet in the casinos. Then, two years later, the Government of California decided ti shut-down all cabarets and Tijuana was ready to open them on its territory and the number of people from San Diego increased a lot. Tijuana become the "wildest in the wild" when ...
...preferred destination. Also nowadays Tijuana is the destination, during the weekend, for the young Californians that come here to satisfy their thirst of alcoholics (this is not really something to imitate) as in California you must be 21 to order an alcoholic drink. Youths and elders run to Tijuana and fill the "lap dance" premises as they are more permissive than in California. In conclusion Tijuana is a frontier town that has kept during the ...
