Perfect R&R Family Vacay ????
Reviewed By MilleyFam4 - Delta, BC | Traveled to Mexico
This was our first family vacation in 8 years and we wanted a vacation where we could just relax and spend time together. Mark was able to help us choose the perfect all inclusive that had everything we requested. He helped with everything from airport transfers & visitor taxes to explaining how the hotel app works to book excursions. He really did everything he could to help make this the perfect vacation for us.

    Family Vacation to Cancun
    We had a fabulous time! I would highly recommend this place for families as there were a lot of fun activities to do…waterslides, spray park, ocean, minigolf, basketball, foosball/pool/pingpong/air hockey, kids club, zip line and rock wall. The staff were super friendly and attentive. The only thing I would say is that the food got old by the end, but I think that’s probably fairly typical. My kids didn’t love the ideas of the nice restaurants as that didn’t really appeal to them, so that probably has something to do with it too…with being able to have those restaurants it would’ve given more variety. The buffet had lots of options, but by the end of the week it was a bit boring. The rooms weren’t anything fancy but met all our needs and were clean. There was also an adult pool that looked really nice but I didn’t experience it as I was with the kids. Overall a great place and I would highly recommend!! Nice and close to the airport too!
