New Mexican Law on Accepting US Dollars

The Mexican Government passed a new law, which comes into effect in Mexico starting September 14, 2010.  I wanted to share the information, which I have received from our off offices in Mexico so everyone is aware.

Starting September 14, 2010 the use of CASH American Dollars to make purchases in Mexico will not be as free as it has been in the past.

Many repeat guests to Mexico who have become accustomed to using American Dollars CASH in Mexico as though they were effectively in the United States will notice the difference. Other payment methods such as Credit Cards of all types and all issuing banks, Travelers Check’s, Mexican Pesos and non American Dollars foreign currencies in cash (ex Euros or Canadian Dollars) are not affected in any way by this new law.

The most noticeable differences to Apple Vacations’ customers will be: Continue reading

A Friendly Face in a Faraway Place

On the flight down to Cancun, I heard the woman behind me say at least 10 times that she was worried about getting to the hotel. She was booked through Apple Vacations and the person in the aisle next to her reassured her that if she looked for the flowered shirts she would be fine. To prove how easy it was I took out my FLIP video camera after we cleared immigration.

I wanted to show everyone, who may go on an Apple Vacation to Cancun or Riviera Maya what to (and what not to) look for.

I travel often enough and know what to expect. For those who do not I thought this may be helpful. Continue reading

090701_applerepIn all of Apple Vacations’ ads, we say that your all-inclusive Apple Vacation includes roundtrip airfare, hotel accommodations, all meals, drinks, tips, transfers and more! The one word I’d like to point out is “transfers.” You may have read over it kind of quickly. As an Apple Vacations employee, and a person who has gone on many Apple Vacations over 16 years, I know I sometimes take the word “transfers” for granted. I know someone will meet me at the airport. They always do.

What is a transfer? Your transfer may be a single representative or a team of representatives. You are greeted as you exit the resort airport and directed towards the proper transportation to your hotel; and then transported to that hotel. On the journey, you are given tips for your vacation and information regarding your stay. Apple Vacations proudly provides our vacationers with the complete vacation experience and part of this experience is this in-resort representative. Continue reading

Why Apple Vacations?
