Did anyone stay at the Oasis Palm Beach Resort in Cancun? Any tips?

Question

I want to book a trip at the Oasis Palm Beach Resort in Cancun with my BF in the end of May. What tip do those that stayed there have? What must I do while there...what should I avoid? (I am really not a party person.) I really want to see the ruins, so what is the best way to see them? Book a trip through the hotel or just take a bus there myself? In general what advice do those that have been to Cancun have?

Answer 1

I didnt stay there but I stay next door at the Royal Mayan. I didnt go in or anything but I walked along their beach, they have a great beach bar... I think that was them... anyway book through a hotel or agency they are a bit more pricy but worth the security and professionalism :) have a GREAT time- I had a blast!!

Answer 2

Plan on going to see the ruins in an air conditioned bus.  They do not recommend that tourists travel there by themselves in cars.  The bus provides drinks, lunch and a place to go to the restroom.  Be sure that it is air conditioned and that it offers these amenities.  The flea market at the ruins maybe your most economical and best place to load up on souveniers and/or jewelry.  That was recommended in our guide book  and we found that to be true, as we did go to most of the street markets in the towns around us.  We rented a car for the week, driving between the cities,  but joined the bus tour for that one trip.  We did book the bus tour through our resort, but I would be inclined to check around some.  The best thing to purchase is a current Fodor's travel guide.  If you don't want to buy it, go to the library.  You can Zerox pages that you want to keep.  The sooner you get a travel guide, the more you will get out of your trip.  Also, google Cancun tourism on the internet.  Also, checkout trip advisor.

I did not stay at the Oasis Palm Beach Resort in Cancun, but I will be there for one night this year, prior to catching a plane home the following day.  We chose it based on the price and the reviews.  All inclusive is fun.  You definitely will get your money's worth.  The food is usually good to okay., but not outstanding. They don't put much alcohol in the drinks, so you might want to ask for a shot on the side, if you want to feel it.  I am not a drinker, but even I could easily determine that.  Beer is a good alternative, if you like beer.  The lack of alcohol put into a drink  is true of most all inclusive resorts.  They don't add much alcohol and if you don't tip well, the alcohol fumes are about all that is put into your drink.  You will have a super great time.   Be sure to bone up on Spanish, even if you just learn the names of things and a phrase or two.  They love it when you attempt their language and will be very helpful to you.  You can get the basics off of the internet.  However, I recommend that you invest in a basic book at the bookstore now in the states for about 10 dollars or less.  It will add a lot to your trip.

You may want to rent a car for a day or two while you are there for the full enjoyment of the area.  A trip to Cozumel is very relaxing.  Be sure and buy the full insurance coverage when renting a car, as your insurance may not apply in Mexico.  Please call your insurance company before you rent.  You maybe covered.   Ours didn't.   The ruins at Chichen Itza should be seen by bus, but there are other ruins that you can travel easily to by car.  If you have a car,  checkout John Frey's for dinner, a real five star gourmet restaurant.  A good entre runs about 15-18 dollars.  Anyone should be able to give you directions to one of their two locations.    

The following are the most requested tours.  Google each and they will tell you what to expect.

Bob Carmichael, UK

"We would like to send a letter of thanks to your company for the most enjoyable tours we recently took in Cancun. When we arrived in Cancun we realized we have forgetten our tour tickets at home for two tours we have previously booked. We contacted CancunFunTours and were called back in our hotel room by a representative. He assured us this was OK and we will still be able to take our tours as had been planned. Overall your company is well organized, reasonably priced and when we plan further vacations you will be our first choice in tour companies. Thank you again. Keep up the great work."
