Lounge at Cancun
We (5 of us) are due to fly back to London from Cancun on Monday (thankfully remaining passport was delivered just in time) and will have mix and match lounge access via Amex Platinum / priority pass and BA Gold membership (only flying PE as didn't want to remortgage house given current Club pricing).
When we last flew back from Cancun around 3 years ago BA were issuing vouchers due to the perceived quality of the Cancun lounges:
- has the quality of lounges there improved over recent years?
- are BA still offering vouchers as an alternative?
Thanks all

This was also a few years ago so can't comment on the current situation, but a voucher would be a good result I think...

I was there a few years ago, travelling club and had to use priority pass as no access for BA. I do recall they gave us 2 vouchers ( think around $15 each

Was it the Mesa lounge? That bad?
I think we'll take vouchers if offered this weekend.

Would compare it to one of the smaller Spanish lounges, LPA or ACE kind of standard.
Food and drinks were table service with waiters going round taking orders.
Average beers, wines and spirits. Food was sandwiches , soup crisps and nachos with a couple of hot things to choose from.Chicken skewers etc
Found it busy but an acceptable place to kill an hour.

We were flying out of Cancun Jan this year. We first tried to go to the lounge with the voucher, but were warned at the desk that the lounge would be closing about 2 hours before departure.
Ended up using the voucher at one of tge airport restaurants, which was fine, but we weren't really that hungry and booze was excluded. In hindsight, finding a quiet corner of the terminal to sit would have been the best course of action, instead of trying to maximise value from the voucher just because we had it.

Thanks - were you given the voucher at the lounge itself? What's the value of it?
