Having booked relatively last minute I was AMAZED by the quality of the fairly budget-priced Sina Suites: the rooms were enormous and the beds comfy, the staff were immensely courteous and helpful and the facilities of pool, restaraunt/conference room and little pool-side bar were all you could really ask for!
The location is just a 15 min leisurely stroll (3min bus journey) to the big party area of Cancun or in the opposite direction a 15min bus ride to the old town and the markets there. Either way the busses stop just at the top of the road both going and coming (though on the way to the old town you have to walk about 200m on the far side of the road to reach the stop...no real problem!). Theres a golf course right next door too if thats your game and it looked nicely maintained.
The area is very peaceful and the impression is of a real safe haven. Just around the corner is a trio of eateries which turn-out delicious local food and drinks and are open at the usual times with one, "Las Chicas Quesadillas" (although I think I've got the name horribly wrong) staying open pretty late if you need a snack. There is also an invaluable supermarket where you can get food to cook in the litle apartments at Sina Suites where the kitchens are well equipped (pots, pans, knives, forks...) and functional. There is also a little kiosk nearer to the Sina suites but its a little more pricey.
All in all I found everything I was looking for here and I would happily reccomend this as a spot for old and young, sightseer and partygoer: I think all could co-exist quite happily here as the size and layout of the place meant that I hardly saw or heard anyone else from the party I was travelling with all week, and there were 18 of us!
Hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
