    Great yoga class with Edgar!

    I went on vacation with friends for the first time in mexico. It was so much fun. Report was amazing. The yoga class with Edgar was great. Not too early, and before it got too hot out. Me and friends took it and relaxed. We went swimming after and the water was great.

    Great stay at the Royalton Riviera

    Stayed at the Royalton Riviera Hotel for my daughters wedding. Cannot praise the staff enough for the great service and support they showed throughout our two week stay. The medical team were great in helping deal with grandson who had symptoms of appendicitis and a wedding party member who sustained sunburned feet. The hotel has everything you need with great pools, great variation of food and drinks and spacious and clean rooms. Second time to Mexico and would certainly recommend it. A special mention to Mario who made us feel so welcome when eating at the buffet restaurant. The wedding team were great and wedding went off really well with great supervision from Gabriel.
