Just recently, I visited Cabo San Lucas. In November 2011, the first Secrets Resort in Cabo was opened, Secrets Marquis. The Secrets Marquis is the AM Resort’s third resort in Cabo, following Dreams Los Cabos and Zoetry Casa Del Mar. Being a luxury boutique hotel, the Secrets Marquis is an Adults-only property. Offering 24-hours room service, unique dining, and excellent service, I was impressed with many aspects of this resort. I will shortly be introducing the newly opened Secrets Vallarta in Mexico. I also went for site inspection at Barcelo Los Cabos Deluxe. This resort offered swim-out suites, a designated adults-only area, and live entertainment every night. Having many different restaurants to arouse your taste buds, the Barcelo hotel had Italian, French, Asian, and Spanish dining choices. The resort also offered an iPod dock that was hooked up with the TV, accessing your iPod on the big screen. A certain aspect that I really found interesting were the electronically controlled curtains. Bel Air Collection Resort & Spa was yet another hotel that I site inspected, along with Hola Grand Faro all-Inclusive hotel. The Hola Grand Faro had a unique lighthouse that gave visitors a 360 degree view of Cabo San Lucas! Melia Cabo Real, located between San Jose and Cabo San Lucas, had a nice, beautiful layout. My final site inspection, Dreams Los Cabos, was a luxury all-Inclusive hotel. All the rooms at the resort had flat tvs, and on the top-most floor, the hotel had a Premium Club lounge. With many unique restaurants, this hotel also featured a fascinating spa and kids’ club! Once again, SVH Travels offers many exclusive deals to Cabo San Lucas. I am going to be visiting Cancun, and I will bring back many photos and videos of its’ newest and high-class resorts, including the newly-opened Riu Palace Peninsula and Paradisus Resorts’.

I have just recently visited one of the best properties in Riviera Maya, Mexico, BarceloMaya Palace Deluxe. This hotel was just outstanding, and an amazing destination for a teenager like me. I can only begin by telling you that Riviera Maya is a great vacation spot, with its Caribbean Sea, and nice beaches. Specifically speaking, Barcelo Maya Palace had it all, including Tennis and Basketball courts! This is not all, what was just utterly amazing was the this property included an actual Soccer Field located within its grounds! This means that you can enjoy so much when you visit Barcelo Maya Palace, from AppleSpecials!

From the sports and activities, lets go to the pools. This hotel had its own mini water park for the children! Located directly next to its main pool was a small waterpark that had water slides, fountains, and was complete with a beautiful touch. The pools also had water jets that shot out at fast speeds and were soothing to the back. Personally, I enjoyed the hammocks that were set all around the Pool area. What was unique about Barcelo Maya Palace was that usually you have the ice hockey, and billiard tables located in the sports area, whereas in this hotel they were located near the pool area.

The pool is also near a outdoor specially designed basketball court, made for playing in the Pool area. The fitness was great, it offered many different machines and workout stations. You could also rent a basketball, tennis racket/ball, football, and even a volleyball in the fitness area for use! Another amazing factor was that this hotel offered electric bikes, and golf carts, that you could rent and drive on the hotel grounds. Barcelo Maya Palace is a complex with other Barcelo hotels’, which means that this is closed, and very safe for driving and just enjoying your vacation!
