I stay at hotels that are usually out of the price range of rowdy college kids, as CUN is just a place for me to unwind and slow down.

I've been to CUN so many times, and have done all the tours(some as many as three times). So nowadays I will generally hang out on the beach all day or roam about taking photos. I usually just like to take in the natural beauty of the area.

So its a personal place for you to unwind.. sounds like the perfect vacation..
Which resorts have you been to and which do you recommend?
We just stayed at the Fairmont Mayakoba in Riviera Maya..

Next day... lather, rinse, repeat.
I'm a creature of tradition, so I stay at the Fiesta Americana Condessa. I've been staying there for the past 16 years. I also stay at the Hilton as well. I like the service at both hotels.

I usually curtail my internet use in CUN. I will logon once or twice during a 10 day stay. I'm there to relax and isolate myself.
Yeah, I just wake up, head to the beach to eat, sleep, swim, and have a beer for most of the day. Then head back to the room to clean up, and nap. At night, I head out for dinner, then a maybe hang out at one of the hotel lounges to meet people. I'm usually back in the room by midnight.
Next day... lather, rinse, repeat.

It really feels like you're in another world when the telecommunications is severely limited..

Its surprising that Hilton would sell the hotel.. I couldn't imagine that they would sell a key hotel location such as in Cancun, unless the expenses and the bottom line didn't make sense.. and sell the hotel without a management contract..

Hilton has a good record of making very poor strategic decisions regarding properties.

I wonder if the Hilton has a new property planned for the Cancun area?

Total beach erosion at my hotel Fiesta Americana Condessa
Beaches being restored.
I haven't heard of anything. Even if they were going to open another resort, there is no property on the sandbar of that size so it will be considerably smaller.
