We went to Mexico with a company named The Holiday Place.They are based in Hampstead but feature on teletext.They were one of the best companies we have travelled with.They give you a choice of which airline you want to fly with and you are transfered in a private minibus.The agent in Cancun even booked our plane seats for the return journey and didnt take us to Cancun airport until as late as possible as its very overcrowded.The hotel we stayed is no longer available to the British travel agents.Their website is http://www.TheHolidayPlace.co.uk.

Hi Pinklola, Definately a Riu hotel, they are brilliant! Think most of the major tour companies do the one in Cancun, but I'm not sure of the prices. Hope you find something your happy with.

Hi Pinklola

I have never been to Mexico but can vouch for the RIU hotel chain as girlfriend and I have stayed at three in Europe and Jamaica. Also never tried this company http://www.caribbeanwarehouse.co.uk but website looks very professional and client testomonies are excellent. Also in another thread the managing director even posted on here so was very impressed with that. Good luck.

I've stayed in a Riu in Mexico (Playa del Carmen) and would heartily recommend the chain

I also recommend the Riu chain. We've just returned from the Riu Tequila where we had an amazing holiday. Our hotel was in Playa del Carmen but the Rius in Cancun are also excellent.
We travelled with Thomson's sister company Portland direct where we had cheaper prices but the same Thomson service and reps. Hope you find what you're looking for.

stayed at riu cancun about 3 years ago. was a lovely hotel in a great location and i really enjoyed it until the mini-bar man stole about $190 from my wallet. the rest of the week i was just angry and wanted to throttle a member of staff, my wallet wasnt in safety deposit box as i only popped down to the pool for 10 minutes. apart from that nice hotel
