FULL REVIEW of CANCUN Vacation Certificate trip by Roberto Pena-Rodriguez
In July of 2018 I decide to join the program , and give it a try for my Real Estate Business. I wanted to know if it was real the FREE VACATION STAY, so I joined and gave myself one free vacation. In March 2019 my wife and 2 kids age of 3 and 6 decided to go to Cancun for Spring Break.
Booking Process
I joined the program as a Gold Member in October 2018, and immediately gave myself a free vacation stay to Cancun. I used the back end system, entered my Name and email. I received the email to activate the voucher, I did it very easy over the web page. Just entered my credit card information and got charged for 98.10 dlls Press send and voila. The voucher was activated. Now I had 18 months to schedule the trip. But because I knew when I wanted to travel. I went and called the booking phone number, I talked to a customer service rep, and I gave her the my name and email the number of guest that were traveling. They asked for the dates that I wanted to travel, they put me on hold and confirmed that the dated were available. I told them to reserve to confirm the dates and then I got an email from bookvip.com of the reservation.
Travel to Cancun
Before making the reservation I checked that the airline had the dates available. Then I booked my airline plane ticked nonstop to Cancun International airport.
Arriving in Cancun
I arrived in Cancun about at 1PM, so when We were walking to pick up the baggage at the Bagged claim, they are going to be several people saying that they are from Vidanta of from Mayan Palace. BUT do not STOP, they will want for you to gk to a presentation. Do Not stop the those people. Go directly to the baggage claim and pick up your baggage. And move directly to the outside of the Airport, where the shuttle service will be waiting for you.h
Getting to Resort/Hotel
Before traveling to Cancun, about one week before, I called the hotel VIDANTA Resort, to check if they had a shuttle service, they responded that they did, and they ask the the and time of the arrival, as well as the airline traveling and people traveling and email. After giving all the information, they sent a confirmation email, please Print that email. Outside the Airport you will find a man with a sign of VIDANTA, please check in with him, and he will guide you to the shuttle to tne airport. My family did wait about 20 minutes outside the airport for the shuttle to arrive, thanks there was a small refreshments store outside while waiting. After the shuttle drives to the resort for about 40 minutes, in direction to Playa del Carmen, you will see several street signs that Vidanta and Cirque du Soliel is nearby.
Checking in Hotel
The Resort in in like a jungle, and it has 5 hotels inside the resort, so its pretty big. As you you arrive at the Lobby Central, with your baggage, they will take your luggage and send it to the the hotel, for you not to be carrying it around. there is going to be someone to welcome you, will check your reservation and will send you to .the sidewalk for you to wait for the next trolley, where they are going to send you to the Mayan Palace Hotel. Once arriving at the Mayan Palace lobby, there will be someone to welcome you and send you to the next front desk person to check you in. There they will ask for your credit card to do a security voucher of 10,000 pesos, you will not get charged, and also they will charge the 11 dlls daily for a total of 55 dlls.
Transporting inside the Resort
Activities
Inside the Resort the are a ton of Activities, every night there is a different activity, I recommend to download the Vidanta App to know what is happening and where, you do have to be prepared , because the distance between one hotel and another will take you about 30 minutes walking, so its recommended to take the trolley. Sometimes you have to get @ trolley to get to your destination inside the RESORT.
Checking Out
Checking out was a very easy process you can do it the night before, and before 10 PM at the concierge lobby of your building. The process of checking out takes about 5 minutes, you can arrange for the bellboys yo pick up your luggage, or take it on the train. Something that they did not tell us about the checkout process was 2 more charges. AN optional environmental charge, and taxes for the resort fees, the environmental charges can get waived(300 PESOS) , the taxes of the resort fees are 20+20.40 total of 40.40 pesos daily a total of 202 pesos, its about 12 dlls.
The total that I spent for this trip, this is not including 2 trips outside of the resort during the stay.
Booking Vip 98 dlls
RESORT FEES 55 dlls
Total : $153.15
Now, we went on this trip, but if your planning on staying on the resort and not going out, you should think about upgrading for an all inclusive stay.
Well hope this information was useful.
