Cancun Vacation Packages..Where to Find Deals Also with Great Cancun Hotel Resorts...

There is little doubt that thinking about a vacation outside the country can be a little scary. The thought of traveling to a whole other world, outside the sanctitiy of the United States, especially in this day and age can be a pulse beating event. Yes, just the thought of it and your pulse beating faster is an event. That being said and I digress, one of the biggest fears I hear from would be international travelers is the accommodations. The basic question is, how much do I trust the informatin I'm getting.

Well I'm hear to offer a little bit of hope and also a true uncompromised or biased opnion. There are some great options and places to find information on the internet. Further I have a one recommendation of a hotel in Cancun that may have various packages associated with it. Now to the information.

First and foremost the question of accomodations is important. No one wants to go away live in real life the scenario that plays out in so many movie scripts...Traveling abroad and walking into a dive of a hotel. I'm here to offer this for your consideration.....The Riu Caribe Cancun Hotel. This hotel is an all-inclusive reort offering the best in a "away" from home vacation pacakge. You're going to find some great amenities that go along with your trip here. Things like a lagoon to swim in, bullfighting events and boating excursions. Average price per person over the next two weeks starting December 1st through December 15th 2008, about $270 to $310. Remember this is all inclusive with food and drink. Quite a deal.

Then there was a site that I work with a little with a fun mascot by the name of Travel Ape. You can find the web site at http://www.travelape.com. I saw a Cancun Vacation Deals section with incredible cancun vacation packages. What's more the packages offer extra premiums that are incredible and pricing for accommodations is about 30% of other vacation pacakges of similar value. The only thing is they do not offer transportation. Again, the pricing still is incredible. The deal I saw on that page at TravelApe was for $199 at the Laguna Suites Cancun for 3 Days and 2 Nights for several premiums.

Going further than that it doesn't hurt is using the official Visitors and Convention Bureau of the area. In this instance there exists the Cancun Convention and Vistiors Bureau. This web site has information and links to hotel bookings and Canun Vacation Packages. The prices aren't always great, but it's a safer bet then maybe going through an independent or unknown web site.

Cancun is a paradise on earth. With deals like this popping up, going south of the border down Mexico way, sounds like an outstanding idea.

Holiday Inn Golden Gateway San Francisco Hotel...

San Francisco is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Absolutely magnificent. One of the city's neighborhoods Fisherman's Wharf is a must see while in the city. Which leads me to the subject of our next featured hotel, the Holiday Inn Golden Gateway San Francisco Hotel. 


Located at 1500 Van Ness Avenue in San Francisco, the Holiday Inn Golden Gateway Hotel is a perfect fit in the mold of the Holiday Inn brand. That is, quality, professionalism and an experienced player in the hotel market. Holiday Inn brings this to the San Francisco area. The hotel has been recently renovated for all of it's 26 floors.  All totaled there are 499 guest rooms that offer the standard in wireless high speed internet access. What's more the hotel itself has all the standards in great amenities such as an on site restaurant, bar and grille, an outdoor heated pool, on site parking garage and a complimentary fitness center. The best about this hotel is how centrally located to some of the best landmarks and areas of San Francisco, but at the same time not being in the the downtown area. The hotel is one mile away from Union Square, Chinatown, Nob Hill and Ghiradelli Square.

The official site of the Holiday Inn Golden Gateway Hotel is located at the link provided and you can find updated discount Holiday Inn Golden Gateway San Francisco Hotel Rates with this link to our site. The information also allows you to see some reviews of the hotel.

Hyatt Regency Century Plaza Los Angeles..Focus on Los Angeles..

I received an email the other day complaining about my focus on the east coast. To that I apologize and in response I give to you my featured hotel focus, the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza of Los Angeles. The hotel is located at 2025 Avenue of the Stars in Los Angeles and offers some of the premium amenities in the room and the property that you'd expect to find at a hotel of this caliber. The thing about this hotel is that it's so incredible and centrally located to all there is to do in Los Angeles. It's about a mile away from the famed Shops at Rodeo Drive and other great places like the Museum of Tolerance, Grauman's Chinese Theater and about 38 miles away from Disneyland. 

The other thing I've noticed about the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza Hotel Los Angeles is that many of the third party hotel review sites and the consumers that have written up reviews for this hotel are all stellar. This is just a very good quality hotel.

Rates for this hotel in the up and coming week vary especially during the days coming close to the weekend. The average daily rates seem to be anywhere between $169 to about $220 per night depending on the type of room. You can check out Hyatt Regency Century Hotel Rates by checking out our site. 

Yes, the west coast, as well as all of the coasts are equally incredible to visit. I do apologize for the remiss nature of my focus but this is all to change soon :)..Enjoy.

Moon Palace Golf and Spa Resort...A Gem in Cancun

It's that time of year again. Where the cold places of the United States start getting...well colder. I'm one of those poor unfortunate souls that live in the North East part of the United States where the winters can get brutal. For some reason it seems like the cold is coming even sooner.

Moon Palace Golf & Spa Resort All Inclusive Photo - CANCUN Well with all of that, visions of a getaway to a tropical paradis come to mind. That brings me to today's featured hotel, the Moon Palace Golf and Spa Resort. I mean this place is as much of a vision of a paradise on earth as you can get. Bright blue waters, multiple swimming pools, posh hotel rooms and a golf course, tucked away in the ever warm area of Cancun. Shame of it for me is that the Moon Palace Resort is known for it's golf and I can't say I'm a huge fan of the game. That might change if I can get my way down for a little trip. Each guest room has a private balcony, a jacuzzi, while the property itself has an endlss number of amenities. These include, swimming pools, tennis courts, beach volley ball courts, basketball courts, climbing tower, disco area, and so much more.

Checking out for Moon Palace Golf and Spa Resort Vacation Deals I happened across the following that Yahoo was presenting. Per night fees of $323 are now available. This is an incredible offer for a Cancun Mexico Vacation that is all inclusive.

Wild Wing Resort in Myrtle Beach Golf Package is Fantastic..

Every once in a while out of chaos comes innovation. Presently, and to no secret to anyone in the world, the economy is not in good shape. No doubt this situation ripples through the world of business and consumers a like. People are getting laid off, businesses are force to close, and the majority of the consumer market has most definitely taken steps to tighten their belts and significantly curb their spending. With that being said, no doubt the travel industry, from transportation to hotels are taking a huge hit. The point in all this that many have to keep in mind, however, is that reality is very much a function of perception. If we feel bad, scared or insecure, our actions reflect this. The point is, sure it doesn't make sense to spend frivolously, or not pay attention to the reality in front of us, but it also doesn't make sense to hide and cower. Life is not meant to be lived tentatively. The United States and the new world of free democracies, open societies and life embracing world order has shown that our world has evolved past this type of consciousness. 

Well I'm sure you're all bored or maybe even awkwardly frightened by my philosophical rant above, but it does lead to something. Living life the best you can every day must be an imperative for all of us. To that end, making sure little things like being able to get away, taking a vacation, and stopping to smell the roses must be part of this agenda. 

Well just like clock work, the innovators of capitalism have done it again. I happened across a site that is offering terrific vacation deals. One that caught my eye, being a man, was for a Myrtle Beach Golf Vacation Package. It offers a 4 day/ 3 night deal for $199. The deal includes  accommodations plus two days worth of complimentary rounds of golf !!! 

I was blown away when I came across this deal. What's more the site I found the vacation package on has a bunch of great packages for other destinations.

The point is, don't lose hope and don't give up on living every day you can. Getting out, taking a trip and doing something fun doesn't have to bankrupt you. Deals are out there.

The Chelsea in Atlantic City...Chique Boutique Hotel Comes to Atlantic City...

Atlantic City New Jersey is no doubt not immune to the current economic downturn that has wrought the globe. What's more, for those of you that are familiar with Atlantic City, not only has the economic downturn hurt the market, but increasing competition from neighboring states, and legislation such as smoking bans have had tremendously bad effects.


The Chelsea Hotel Atlantic CityOk, you might ask, what is my point in all this. Well, earlier this year a new hotel opened up in Atlantic City called the Chelsea. It's located on Chelsea Avenue and the Boardwalk and with it's opening was a hope of heralding in a new ago to Atlantic City. One in which the notion of creating a destination resort that catered to more than just the casino market. I had an opportunity to visit the Chelsea Hotel in Atlantic City and I really think it's a home run for the city. The idea behind the creation and development of this hotel was to add a unique accommodations offering in a market filled with gawdy casino hotels or worse, low class motels. The Chelsea Hotel brings with it an overt level of glamour and class and it comes through brightly. The property is diverse in it's offerings that include, but hardly are limited to pool side cabanas, lounges with finely appointed fireplaces, and two signature restaurants. The first, Chelsea Prime, specializes in, but of course, steaks. The dining area is elegant, but casual and the noticeable level of professionalism from all of the staff is evident. Next is Teplitzky's Restaurant, which offers diner style food, but also equally excellent in preparation. Teplitzky's also offers a hide away cocktail lounge and coffee shop.


The Chelsea also offers some great nightlife options for those of you who don't like the loud scene of casino clubs. Basically most of the action is located on the 5th Floor. There you'll find both restaurants, access to the pool but also so much more. Also located on the 5th Floor is the Terrace Lounge. The Terrace Lounge has entertainment managed by well known New York City entertainment promoter the Beatrice Inn. Next is the Bar. Yep, it's the name of a lounge and as the web site say, the name says it all. The view from this place is awesome. Next up on our tour is the Living Room. This place is basically a casual but elegant place to sit and relax. Last on our list is the Game Room. This is one place you've got to see. It's artful as it is fun. Again, in the spirit of simplicity combined with grace, the Game Room is a hip room with antique velvet walls, fireplace and most important, a pool table. But this is no ordinary pool table. This pool table is an art deco style that fits in with the theme of the entire property.


I could go on and on about the Chelsea Hotel Atlantic City, but to see it is to experience it. If you're making your way to Atlantic City any time soon, consider staying a night there, or at the very least make sure you take a night to visit.
