Just Got Back – Mexico City

Where did you Just Get Back from?
 Mexico City, Mexico
When were you there? 
April 2017
Where did you stay? 
Hotel NH collection Mexico City Reforma
A stately contemporary hotel offering phenomenal views of Mexico City.  Recently refurbished and great location in the tourist area of the city.
Provide a 1-3 liner highlighting your experience! 
Was travelling for a wedding with another couple and was eager to experience the food, culture, and nightlife that the city had to offer. It’s a large city so hard to really make a dent in just a few days but thoroughly enjoyed my stay there!  The city is rich with history like ruins in the center of the city that you can visit, old restaurants and museums in the park. The food is fantastic and can have an amazing dinner in a little whole in the wall spot. Overall loved it and had a great time there!
Words to describe what you felt when you first arrived:
Driving into the city it doesn’t visually blow you away so was a little apprehensive at first. But after just a few hours of exploring I realized how much the city had to offer. It was a lot of fun to discover little restaurants, cafes and the people are very nice!
With whom would you recommend staying at this hotel?
I would recommend this hotel to couples, adults travelling with friends, and those travelling for business.
Tempt us: Name the most special place you discovered on this trip.
One of the most popular day trips from Mexico City is the Teotihuacan pyramids. It’s really pretty and impressive to see. Our favorite part though is that just a few minutes’ drive away from the pyramids is a restaurant called, La Gruta, where you dine in a cave. The food is top notch and service is great.
What’s the best time of year to go in your opinion?
I thought spring was a great time to go, wasn’t too hot or too cold and was sunny the whole time. I think it could be great year-around though.
Anything else to add?
Very little English spoken so even knowing a little Spanish will go a long way!

Where did you Just Get Back from?
Cancun
When were you there?
February 2017
Provide a 1-3 liner highlighting your experience!
The hotel is hidden away in the edge of the jungle, which makes for a dramatic arrival. The 63-room hotel has incredibly fresh Mexican cuisine, crystal clear beaches and a spa to complete a perfect recipe for a long getaway!
Words to describe what you felt when you first arrived:
Upon entering the gates and driving through jungle an immediate feeling of tranquility rained over us.
Where did you stay?
Belmond Maroma
With whom would you recommend staying at this hotel?
The newly renovated suites and junior suites are perfectly done and are great for families with children. This is a great retreat for any client of any age who just wants a few days of warm sunshine and Mexican hospitality!
What’s the best time of year to go in your opinion?
If you live on the East Coast it is such an easy and quick escape from winter in New York! The transition from the city to the Belmond is seamless thanks to the quick flight and complimentary transfers. In the blink of an eye you will find yourself on the beach enjoying the sunshine.
Anything else to add?
The three pools on property disperse the crowds and the secluded adult pool is meant for total relaxation or swimming laps in the mostly empty pool.
The spa offers a great variety of treatments including a tasteful couples chocolate massage.
Our ocean front room had not been renovated, however it was in pristine condition. Lying in the hammock on the patio watching the sunset was one of the serene moments of the trip. I did a site inspection and saw the renovated accommodations – they were beautiful, modern, and still had the Mexican flavor and all the amenities of a 5 star property.
The hotel offers snorkel tours out to the reef, which is incredibly lively thanks to the variety of fish and fauna.
