Mayan Riviera - Grand Sirenis Mayan Beach

Arrived late afternoon after a fairly long bus ride from the Cancun Airport.  Not too impressed at first glance.  Does not even come close to the Bahia Principe in the Mayan.  Checked into the room that was quite nice, very large.  Could smell the mould and mildew, quite common in these humid tropical regions.  Stopped at the Air Transat Tour desk to see if we could change resorts to the Bahia.  The rep did not seem to be too accommodating and more or less brushed us off.  Asked us to check back in a few hours.  Had a dismal dinner and went back to the Transat desk.  She informed us we could not make the move. 

Got up the next morning and went to one of the pools.  Loungers were the old, cheap, white resin, most of which were broken and very dirty.  The blue & white cushions were discustingly dirty and who knows what crept inside.  The pool featured your typical pool bar with drunken Gringos, sunburnt to a crisp!  I am really sorry we didnt book the Bahia!  The resort cleanliness is very lax and it appears they are really pushing the timeshare component of the resort, people pestering you at every turn.  Met couple and their family from Hinton, Alberta.  They too have stayed at the Bahia Principe a number of times and Harold hates this place so I am not alone in my feelings.  He also wants to move to Bahia but his wife and friends are not too keen.  Went to see Jose Marie the Transat rep and she was not very helpful either.

Began to develop a terrible cough after the 5th day and started to feel pretty crappy.  Took the vent off the air conditioning duct and that was a mistake...FULL OF MOULD SPORES AND MILDEW!!!  I am now quite concerned that I may have mould poisoning.  Cyril, a doctor we befriended from Vancouver seemed to conquer with my self diagnosis and suggested I get on some antibiotics immediately.

    I have always been a straight shooter and a go getter.  Many have said Leslie must be a saint to have put up with me for over 40 years.  We have been business partners since the day we got married and each played an intrigal roll in our business success.  There is nothing more important to us than our Family & Friends.  Our love of people and travel has allowed us to develop amazing friendships around the world.
