Trends in Cancun
Dreams Vista Cancun Golf & Spa Resort Food?
So, I'm heading to Dreams Vista Cancun Golf & Spa Resort next month. My wife booked it – surprise anniversary trip, the whole shebang. She's obsessed with all-inclusive resorts, and this one looks…… more
It's a mixed bag, honestly. The buffets are… well, buffets. Expect a lot of repetition. But they do have a few à la carte restaurants on site that are surprisingly good. The Mexican place was unexpectedly authentic, not just some tourist trap version. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and variety there. The steakhouse was decent too; not amazing, but a cut above your average all-inclusive steak. So yeah, don't rely solely on the buffet, but you won't starve. You'll probably find some things you enjoy, even if it's not every single meal.
That's helpful, thanks! I appreciate the honesty about the buffet – I figured it would be hit or miss. Good to know the Mexican place is legit; I'm always a sucker for authentic cuisine when I'm traveling. So, if I'm understanding correctly, the à la carte options are the way to go for a better dining experience? I'm already planning on hitting the beach a bunch, so I'm not expecting gourmet meals every night, haha.
Arsgan House Mystery?
So, I'm planning a trip to this incredible-looking chalet, Arsgan House, near Playa del Carmen. The photos online are stunning, but they don't really show the vibe. I'm wondering... anyone ever stay… more
Playa del Carmen's vibe is way different than Cancun. Much more relaxed, generally. Arsgan House – I haven't stayed there specifically, but properties in that area tend to be more boutique and cater to a quieter crowd. Sunset cocktails and chill live music? Totally doable. You'll find plenty of beach bars and restaurants south of Playa that fit that description. Think more low-key than a thumping club scene. You'll probably have to do a little exploring to find exactly what you're looking for, but it's definitely out there. Don't expect the massive, chaotic party atmosphere of Cancun though. It’s a different animal altogether.
That's super helpful, thanks! I was worried it would be too quiet, but low-key chill sounds perfect. Sunset cocktails definitely sealed the deal. I'm less concerned about finding the perfect spot and more about finding a spot that fits the vibe. Sounds like Playa del Carmen is the right choice then. Appreciate the heads-up about the difference from Cancun – I'd have probably ended up disappointed otherwise!
