Real World Cancun at ME!

We’re pretty excited about the start of the new season of the Real World Cancun (June 24th), not just because we like the show, but also because it was filed here at ME by Melia Hotel in Cancun! We checked out MTV’s website and found a sneak preview of the show as well as the Real World cast bios and photos of the cast taken around ME Cancun.

While we can’t give away any season secrets, we can say that this season is shaping up to be one the most wild yet. Join us on June 24th in watching the season premiere of the Real World Cancun.

A Honeymoon in Cancun

Recently, a couple of Honeymooners at the hotel got in touch with me through MySpace. I was excited to hear that they had a great time during their honeymoon at ME Cancun. I asked if they’d be willing to write a guest blog for my MySpace page and thankfully, they were willing. Here it is:

My husband and I married in November of 2008 and decided to stay in Cancun. We researched a few places and decided that Me Cancun was the hotel of choice. As soon as we arrived the aroma of the hotel was lovely as well as the ambiance.

We were immediately greeted by a staff member with a glass of champagne and towels to clean our hands. Our check in went smoothly and we were escorted to our room. The entire staff of Me Cancun was pleasant and extremely helpful. The hotel was clean. As soon as we dropped our luggage off, we took a walk by the pool. Amazing atmosphere. Just beautiful. The ocean was in walking distance of the pool. We then decided to have lunch at The Maxim Beach restaurant. Service and the food were great. Everyone was so polite. We had the breakfast buffet every morning and we were never disappointed. We sat by the pool on the bali beds every morning and around 1pm the DJ came out. Great music. We had dinner inside the hotel a few nights and again everything was perfect. Our favorite restaurant was the Silk Asian Bistro. The sushi was amazing. After dinner, we took a walk over to the bar for a few drinks. The drinks were very good! Our last day there, my husband and I decided to get massages outside by ocean. The massages were amazing and extremely relaxing. It was the perfect way to end our stay.

During our stay, the hotel staff was very friendly and helpful. There is nothing bad to say about this hotel. My husband and I had a great and relaxing honeymoon by staying at Me Cancun. Hands down ME Cancun is the friendliest, best and cleanest hotel that I have ever stayed at. There is no doubt that we will go back there again.

Thank you,
Cat D.

YouTube Friday – ME Cancun on YouTube

Over the past few months, I’ve become a pretty big fan of YouTube (and no, they didn’t pay me to say that, although I’d probably take the offer…). What I find most interesting about YouTube is the fact that there is such an enormous collections of videos from people and places all over the world. I can imagine that, a few years now, we’ll be able to find amateur video from just about every place on Earth.

Today, I ran a search for videos taken at ME Cancun. A couple videos I came up with seem to have been taken a while ago by guests. Another I found was a video about Cancun featuring the hotel. Anyways, I thought you might be interested in checking them out. Enjoy:

iPhone Applications for Tech-Savvy Travelers

The NEXTgen Traveler survey, a trends report highlighting the technical capacity of echo-boomers (18 to 28) and baby-boomers (43-61) alike, released their definitive understanding of how the rest of us travel.

The survey answers such hard-pressing mysteries as, “Do we like to travel?” Shockingly, 3/4 of us would travel more if we made more and 3/5 of us would do the same, given more free-time.

What NEXTgen Traveler also told us about ourselves:

• A lot of us shop online, especially for—wait for it—travel prices
• We also take pictures and send text messages

It’s unknown what the future of travel conceals, tightly, in its Pandora’s box of secrets. A surge of mass-GPS application, travel information send directly to your mobile phone, trans-atlantic flight? Only time will tell.

I’m unsure what mobile phones were like, or what their exact function was, prior to the iPhone, but neither do the New York Times. They’ve even released a photo-blog of the 11 Best Travel Applications for the iPhone.

My favorites: Where, Travelocity Mobile app, and the Mass-Transit apps for major city.
