July 1 2008: Best thing about cancun, an oasis of luxury far from the madding crowds. The pool concierge alone creates an incredible day of lounging around to take your mind away. For a real splurge, reserve a cabana on the beach! Rooms are spacious with great balconies, the staff is incredible. Enjoy a cuban cigar and a glass of anejo in the jazz club after dinner. Found an incredible deal in late June (the low season) that made it even better!
