dreamspuertoaventuras-066More reviews from our Florida sales rep, Everton, escorting his first FAM trip to Riviera Maya.

Grand Sirenis Riviera Maya – This resort has 960 oversized junior suites, 3 beautiful pools and a huge lazy river that wraps around the report! The resort also features a beautiful and large open-air theater with nightly entertainment, and 8 a la carte restaurants (reservations required). They have a Kids Club with a “cushioned pool” which is a cool feature for the kids. This Resort features a new MASSIVE Spa with a Salt Water Floatarium. All the spa treatments that are available were stunning. Apple guests get an exclusive beach party twice a week, which is a great Apple exclusive. The resort also has Mayan ruins on site.  This property is truly amazing!!!

Dreams Puerto Aventuras Resort & Spa – This resort has 7 floors, which makes it the TALLEST building in the Riviera Maya.  Stunning ocean and lagoon views!  The coved beach is perfect for families with younger children. The water is crystal clear with no high waves! This makes for great diving and snorkeling.  They offer an adults-only pool area with pool bar and restaurant.  The hotel is located in the heart of Puerto Aventuras with shopping and dining!  You can even swim with the dolphins’ right across the street. The food was great and so was the service! The Preferred Club, which is the entire 7th floor of this resort, is a great option for an upgrade.

Secrets Capri Riviera Cancun – The food, service, quality and staff of this resort can’t be topped!  As with all AMResorts, free non-stop transfers are included when booked with Apple Vacations. No wristbands, dining restrictions or dining reservations are required.  24-hour room service is available. Resort offers 291 rooms and suites, 6 restaurants and a massive newly built Spa by Pevonia. This resort offers a complimentary shuttle to and from Playa del Carmen once daily.

Secrets Maroma Beach Riviera Cancun – This beach was WOW! It was just amazing and breathtaking, the ULTIMATE beach in Riviera Maya!  The best beach I saw. This is an adults-only resort with 412 suites, 6 restaurants and 6 bars. They offer 24-hour room service, beach service, pool service, top shelf liquors and American beer.  If you want room service, but don’t want to have to be disturbed? Not an issue, each suite boasts a “Secrets Box”. The staff can place your order in the box from the hall and you can retrieve the order from inside! This was a unique and cool feature! Great selling tool!

capriI visited Secrets Capri earlier this summer on a visit. I LOVED it and can’t wait to go back and stay. I loved the Colonial architecture and feel of the property. It almost feels like a “West Coast” of Mexico style “mansion” versus a hotel. I also liked that the hotel was smaller than the other Secrets Resorts and everything is within reach within the hotel. When a radio station colleague was going on vacation to Secrets Capri, I could not wait to hear what he thought of it. Here is his feedback.

Secrets Capri is the perfect size resort for us 50-plus year-old baby-boomers. It’s a short walk from the beautiful lobby to the guest rooms, the pool area & right to the gorgeous beach. You’re not overwhelmed by the size. The specialty restaurants, staff and rooms are all terrific. Secrets Capri’s short distance to downtown Playa del Carmen is also a big plus!

So on your next vacation if you are looking for an adults-only hotel with a smaller feel, then look to Secrets Capri!

What an Apple Vacations deal!

194So a friend just called and wants to go away for a weekend in the next 2 weeks, and wants to know what I can recommend. Well I went to www.applevacations.com to look around and truly did not believe my eyes! I mean I know I see the deals every day in ads but in the context, helping a friend, I thought WOW these ARE some really, really great deals. Secrets Capri 3 nights from $699.99. That is an amazing, deluxe hotel! It has a 6 Golden Apple rating! Gran Bahia Principe Coba 3 nights from $499.99, another great and fun hotel. It has a 5 Golden Apple rating. Even once taxes are added in, it is still much less than a weekend in New York or down the New Jersey shore once you add in all the meals and entertainment. And these are nice, really nice hotels!

So even in this economy travel, even luxury travel, to Secrets Capri is within reach! You are getting much more than you pay for with these deals.

To get a great rate look for Apple Vacations leisure flights such as USA300 Airlines. Midweek travel is also usually priced slightly less. On www.applevacations.com click on “specials” at the top and select your departure city to get an overview of what’s hot from your departure city.

Why Apple Vacations?

OK, so I wrote a blog a few weeks ago about why Travel Agents & Apple Vacations and not On-Line Booking Sites. It reminded me of an e-mail I got a few years ago from a media executive that I had in resort at the time a hurricane hit. I edited it, but after you read it I think you’ll know why… there is nothing better than Apple Vacations! The e-mail speaks for itself.

Man when you guys set up a vacation, you think of everything. I cannot tell you how much Susan, you and Apple Vacations meant to me and my wife especially because of adventure we wound up in. The clout Apple has is unbelievable.  Everyone, and I do mean everyone, was turned away at the airport road unless they were with Apple Vacations.  Thousands of people. The (Mexican) Army was turning away buses, taxis and people on foot. It looked like something out of a movie.  We got waved thru like we were rock stars.

Let me tell you about your guy at Secrets. What a nice guy.  He evacuated us & he brought his girlfriend to the shelter to be with us.  The guy did not stop. He was getting out when he could to get the information to brief us.  When we went back to the hotel put on a clean Apple shirt and was rocking with any information he could get! He banged on our door at 2:30 in the morning (no electricity — so he was running around with a flashlight) to tell us to be ready in the morning to split. What a guy.

Secrets Capri ran the crisis like a precision drill team.  The GM was cool collected and ran his employees better than a commando leader. I sent a letter to AMResorts commending him and his employees.

Thank you so much for the information you were getting to my staff and more importantly to my daughter. The hardest part of the whole thing was not being able to tell our daughter we were OK.  We were out of contact with her for almost 5 days, and I know getting info from Apple helped comfort her. You guys are the best and I will tell everyone I know that when it comes to Vacations if they don’t go with Apple Vacations, they are risking their lives!
