LINKS LINKS LINKS

Here are some other links about Cancun and Yucatan that you may find helpful/interesting. I however must say that I do not necesarily endorce the contents of the following sites, I have placed general summaries and perhaps a small opinion. These links are for your research information since I fully accept that I am not the only site on the Net, nor can I know every detail about Cancun. I do hope that my hours of research will help you in your quest for the perfect dream vacation. Note, when you click on the link, it will open a new browser window, so you won't be stuck in my left frame. Have fun!

Cancun


Mexican Consulate in Austin Texas
This seems to be a very good site and they are nice about replying to e-mails. I have had trouble with other consulates replying, (ie, me not recieving a reply) so this is a very good place to begin an e-mail.

Mexican Consulate in New York
I realize this is the US Mexican Consulate, but they still might beable to help you if you are from a different country. E-mail them and just state your problem and country (I did it) and they can help you no problem. This site is especially good for Canadians because our Mexican Consulate site is not reliable (I e-mailed them and it took 2 months for a reply)

Mexican Consulate in Canada
This site is very informative, and has lots of written information for Canadians wishing to travel. However, do not e-mail them with questions if you are looking for a quick reply, or a reply for that matter -- Rather, go to the Mexican Consulate in New York for e-mail questions and tell them that you are Canadian.

Canadian Embassy in Mexico
Information for Mexicans and Canadians. Canadians can register with the consulate from here.

Akumal Adventures
Useful help here for people travelling to the Mayan Riviera (south of Cancun). Information about lodging, shopping, beaches -- yay no crowded beaches -- and more. Check them out!

Iminet Cancun Chat Board
Another great site. It is a bulletin board where you can post questions on Cancun, and people like me, former travellers and some other very knowledgable people will answer them! If you have specific questions, go here! The only problem is that it is not monitored and so any jerk can post there. Better go to All About Cancun (above) for a more secure chat. The rest of Iminet also has Cancun information, so check out the rest of their site.

Cancun Medical Q & A Message Index
The official mexican horror stories = Dirty water, dirty food, diarreah, throwing up, ruined vacation, lost money.........so what can you do????? Ask the Doctor -- he/she can help you. This site is a posting board, post your question, and a Cancun (english speaking of course) Doctor will be there to help you. In fact I think this guy is American, but don't take my word for it.

Hotels

For exact hotel links, visit the hotel section of my homepage. Not all hotels currently have links, but I have tried to find quite a few :)

BestDay Travel Agency
You can actually reserve through this agency for cancun hotels and Merida Hotels. Most of my hotel links are to their pages. They reserve for many hotels in different cities in Mexico though, not just cancun.

Casa Mexilo
A bed and breakfast in Merida Yucatan.

Club Maeva
An all inclusive Resort located on the Gulf of Mexico close to Merida and Progresso. I visited it and it is really beautiful and has nice beaches, swimming pools, a disco, a bar, taxi service and more. A lot of Snowbird Canadians flock her for the winters.

OVM vacations
Similar to BestDay, lists the hotels in Cun and other places.

Royal Resorts Homepage
A set of hotels in Cancun.

Airlines

Continental Airlines
Rating - Excellent
Reserve tickets or find an airline price for a specific destination. Secure Connection.

Vacances - Signature - Vacations
Rating - Good/Ok
Has a Vacation Planner, but no cost estimates on flight info. Signature Vacations is a company, and I'm not sure exactly how it works, but I think they have several other sub-companies, and their whole business is Charter Flights. They have several to Cancun. (Their other names are: Signature Vacations, Sol Vac, P.S. Holidays, Adventure Tours or Fiesta West) Currently only serves Canadians going to national or international destinations.

American Airlines
Rating - Excellent
Reserve tickets, look up airline fairs, etc. Secure areas on site.

Carnival Air
Rating - ok
No online reservation system or Flight/Fare Look up, but info on the airline.

Delta Airlines
Rating - Excellent
Reserve tickets, secure areas on site, join their online "frequent flyers club"

Mexicana Airlines
Rating - Almost Excellent
Recently remodeled their site, online fare lookup and reservation system. Currently no reservations from within Mexico accepted online. Not sure if they have secured areas

Myrtle Beach Jet Express
Rating - Good
Online Fair lookup, but I didn't see a reservation system

Northwest Airlines
Rating - Excellent
Again, online Reservation system and Fair Look up. Other info too.

Canada3000
Rating - Good
Canada3000 is a charter that flies direct flights to Cancun as well as places over seas and the US. They are much cheaper than commercial and their website, you can look up a fares and other info. To reserve I guess you e-mail the travel agency that manages the page. Be careful though, like all charters, they have weird rules and take it in their own hands to be immigration as well.
