Jim & Charles - May, 2008

In May we journeyed to Hidden Beach and enjoyed every minute of our visit even if it was our seventh time visiting paradise.

When we arrived at Cancun International, the folks from Entertainment Plus were waiting for us.  Our driver was very courteous and provided a delightful drive to Hidden Beach.

Once we got to the resort, it really felt like we had come home.

                The staff is outstanding, working long hours each day, as it has been since we first visited in 2004.  Nothing makes you feel as good as a warm greeting and a smile.  This gets your tropical vacation off to a good start.  You can tell that the staff of Hidden Beach is working tirelessly on behalf of the guests.  From morning until late evening, they are there to assist with every need of the guest. The resort gets better as time goes on.

                Esparanza continues to be a sparkling light in every respect. Anaceto, we found out, is one of the original employees of the resort and continues to maintain the high standard of excellence.                                                                                                                                       Our swim up suite was wonderful especially looking forward to the towel art done by the staff after the suite was cleaned.

                Of great surprise and pleasure was the new large palapa which replaced the disco and is 100% positive in every respect.  Where in the world could you enjoy a great meal, be serenaded by great musicians playing popular Mexican music, have a drink at the full bar, take a dip in the new Jacuzzi and then relax to enjoy the evening entertainment reclined on large couches without leaving the premises?  This new addition to Hidden Beach answers that question.

                The new clothing regulations next door at El Dorado are not in the best interest of Hidden Beach.  One goes to Mexican Riviera – to Hidden Beach -- to relax and enjoy….not to bring long pants, covered shoes and polo shirts for evening meals.  This policy needs to be reconsidered since many of the Hidden Beach guests we talked to about this new policy were not aware of it and therefore decided against eating at one of the restaurants.

                One special thing you will encounter is are wonderful guests and new friends you get to know and in many cases, keep in contact once you leave Hidden Beach.  As an example, during our last visit, several of us became good friends.  We four couples enjoyed each other’s company and are planning a fall get-a-way.                                                                                   

                Don’t be surprised if you enjoy hearing from your Hidden Beach friends, year after year.

                You can bet we will be back….hopefully in May, 2009.
