Is the Holiday Inn Cancun Areanas All Inclusive a good place to stay?

Question

I have already booked my room for this hotel and I would like to know what to expect. I am heading there this weekend (March 8, 2008) and staying for a week.

This question is directed to anyone who has either stayed at the hotel or knows someone who has stayed at this hotel.

All and any info would be helpful. Thanks!

Answer 1

I know a couple that plays trivia night at a local pub where I often visit, for trivia night only of course, LOL! Seriously though, they stayed there in 2007 shortly after it opened as the Holiday Inn Arenas and they had a wonderful time. It is not a super luxury resort and you should not expect the highest quality in food or services. However, for the money, they said that without a doubt they will return there again in the future. I can also say that guests give the resort mostly positive reviews on various voter driven hotel ratings websites.

Have fun planning your vacation,

Answer 2

If you have questions about the real Cancun call 1-888-862-3806 for help booking rooms and all.

They will give you ideas for fun too like:

Definately the Swim with Dolphins, this is fantastic especially if you go to Dolphin Discovery on Isla Mujeres, as you have a 40 minute boat ride there and back with open bar and entertainment.

The Captain Hook Pirate ships are another fun thing to try.

A Jungle tour through the mangroves, with snorkelling over the Coral reefs.

If you´re into diving, then Call Ben Mooney at http://www.mayanaquadive.com as he knows some great dive sites.

Xcaret is a wonderful day out, as you get to enjoy an ecopark, with dolphins, turtles ect and then get to watch probably the best show in the whole of Mexico at night.

A catamaran trip with http://www.cancuncatamarans.com is a must, a day sailing and snorkeling, with buffet lunch on Isla Mujeres, open bar, a shopping trip and the chance to have your picture taken holding a live shark.

At night, try the Cancun Party Hopper, there are now 2 different versions going to different bars, and they are great fun.
