Hi again!
We keep changing our minds and after speaking to the most helpful guy at caribbean warehouse, we have finally whittled it down to Excellence riviera cancun. As its for my 50th birthday and we want it to be special he recommended this adult only hotel for our party of 8.
The only thing I was wondering though, is does anyone know what time the bars close? as I have read a few reviews saying that it can be quiet as far as entertainment goes and we don't want it to be dead and finished before we have finished eating lol! Can anyone give me any info about this and also tell me what the beach is like etc is there a nice tropical feel about the resort too (have never been to Mexico before) and its quite important to us that the hotel is friendly and that the staff are welcoming, we look forward to the luxury but without it being too stuffy if that makes sense?
Any help will be most welcoming before we take the plunge!
I realise that you can't guarentee anything these days but we have decided on October as it has to be the later part of the year ,has anyone been to this area at this time please?
Thanks in advance
Mel

Me and my Husband are going to ERC in april for our 25th wedding anniversay, we too have booked with caribbean warehouse and we cant wait, will let you know what its like when we get back
I would definitely go again that time of year but you need to bear in mind that a hurricane could cause problems.
ERC gets great reviews, have a great time!

Can't wait to hear your review after your trip in April, hope you have a great time it sounds fantastic and nothing like we've ever experienced before. I guess its just pot luck with the weather, we're going the first two weeks of August and will just have to keep our fingers crossed and say our prayers!
I went to this resort fo my honey moon in 2007 and it really was excellent!
We went last week July and first week in August. It was humid and vey hot and we came back with an incredible tan even though most of the time it was too hot to lie in.
We had one overcast day in the 2 weeks and about 20 minutes of rain in the evening but that was all - sun shining always
It was a quiet resort and wasnt what you would call full of nightlife however there is a night club you can go into after the other bars have closed and we only got to bed some nights at 3am. The nightclub was quiet but we had been to the beach bbq a couple of nights before and met some friends so even though the club was quiet we had friends with us which made the night if that makes sense.
The hotel often has a mexican night where they lay tables outside o also the beach barbeque and they sit groups of people together and its a great way to get talking.
As far as im concerned its the best AI i have eve been to. Didnt have to pay for a thing but take some small demonination dollars for tips.
The only other tip I would say for the time of year is take some super strong mossie repellant. I found them horrendous and so did others.
have fun x
Thanks for all the info, the evenings sound perfect for us, we're in a group of 8 so plenty of company and we always chat to everybody where ever we go!
We have booked now through the caribbean warehouse (who were fantastic) and are going for the first two weeks of October , rainy season I know but we just have to keep our fingers crossed, We can't wait now!
