I stayed at the JT in March 2002 and I have to say I was very impressed! It was my first AI holiday and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
I worked in travel at the time and therefore received a staff discount on the holiday (including stand-by seats which turned out quite a challenge but amusing!).
I took my boyf for 10 days and we both loved it! OK so we're both in our early 20's and probably dont have such high expectations as others but we are still recommending Cancun to friends. The hotel was clean and well managed - the staff were friendly and the food was pretty good! we're both meat lovers so no problems with the lack of vegetarian choice. The room was spacious and clean with 2 double beds!
we took a few excusions; chichen itza, isla mujeres, the water park (including swimming with dolphins) and the hotel organised a trip to nightclub coco bongo's! oh and we did the jungle tour, snorkelling and parasailing!
All trips were value for money and were well organised, the hotel was fab, the weather was excellent and the staff were entertaining...
We had no complaints - except the cost of 2 telephone calls to our Mum's as it was mothers day!!
my only advice : be careful when you go, turns out it was spring break - a bunch of yanks who cant hold their ale!! enough said...
All in all the trip was ace and we would love to go back but are reluctant in case its not as good as the first time..ENJOY
