It was great to have 12 agents from
all across Canada on our 2-brand,
Cancun-Riviera Maya FAM last week. I
appreciate the investment of time
and $ that these agents made in El
Cid Resorts, Krystal Resorts and the
Mahekal Beach properties!
|
|
On a 6-night FAM, we only had to
explore 6 resorts, so agents had
plenty of time to relax and get to
know our host properties. Also, on
my FAMs, agents still get their own
private room!
|
|
Before coming home, many of the
agents were sending out quotes to
clients for our host properties! I’m
going to let their comments on our
properties be the content of this
newsletter.

future FAMs HERE.

(The Krystal Cancun has a) “Great
location. It is great for budget
travelers and has a Million dollar
view!”
Lyndsey Zammit, No Borders Travel,
Canmore, AB
|
|
“This hotel is one of the oldest and
most iconic in Cancun’s hotel zone,
boasting the best turquoise waters
and white sand beach in the area.
It’s located right in the heart of
the commercial district, so you
won’t feel stuck at the hotel.
Convenient public transportation can
quickly take you anywhere within the
hotel zone.”
Scarlett Bai, The Bear Travels,
Surrey, BC

“The rooms are simple, but this is
offset by the location of the hotel
on the beautiful ocean shore,
atmospheric shows with different
cultural trends are held three times
a week.. Clean, popular, suitable
for any category of tourists who
love active recreation. Affordable
prices.”
Olena Dudko, TravelPlus, Edmonton,
AB
|
|
“Right beside the Krystal Cancun is
the Krystal Grand Altitude Tower
this is also along the hotel strip
on the white sandy beach with
Crystal clear waters. 5 stars here,
where the chiefs go out of their way
to create their (culinary)
masterpieces.”
Shelley Fukushima, TravelMasters,
Calgary, AB

|
“In the elbow of Cancun, walking
distance from downtown life night of
Cancun. Beautiful and long
beach. Definitely worth upgrading to
the Krystal Grand Cancun. And worth
upselling to the Altitude rooms. (If
clients want affordable luxury with
great amenities).”
Kelly Langevin, Voyages a Rabais,
Tres-Rivieres, QC
|
|
“It is Grand. The Krystal Grand is
located right at the tip of the
hotel zone in Cancun. It is a
perfect location that is beachfront
but also close to nightlife, great
dining options and lots of shopping.
The resort itself is on a white sand
beach with turquoise water. My
suggestion would be to definitely
book the Altitude Club, providing
you some of the best rooms with the
best views.”
Lori Zacher, Custom Travel
Solutions, Calgary, AB

“Something I will tell my clients
about El Cid is you get access to
all 3 properties and the marina. The
impeccable service & care for their
customers, the lush grounds and
always working to improve
landscaping. With premium service
you can get aromatherapy, pillow
menu & 24/7 room service with no
charges. Also, the 7 options of al a
carte restaurants with many choices
& the market (fancy food court)
which gives a restaurant atmosphere
without the buffet feeling.”
Sandy Richardson, CAA SK, Swift
Current, SK

“During my stay, I had the
opportunity to enjoy the resort's
many amenities, including the pool,
fitness center, and spa. I also had
the chance to try some of the
delicious dining options available
on site.”
Bill Taylor, NorthStar Travel,
Kitchener, ON
|
|
“A good quality resort, (and a)
great option for smaller or
multi-generational family trips. The
three-bedroom suite can accommodate
up to eight people in the same room
and has a very nice private living
room/dining room area.”
Dave Kains, Expedia Cruises,
Kitchener, ON
|
|
“This is the place where you could
leave all your stress behind and
fully immerse yourself in a true
vacation and relaxation. I guarantee
you're sure to love it here!”
Claire Maliphunte, AMA, Calgary, AB
|
|
“This is the perfect resort for
those clients looking for affordable
luxury experience. The Fifth Ave is
also 5 minutes walk away. (This)
makes it a perfect resort for those
who want to experience local
cultures instead of just staying at
the resort.”
Lingxuan Ye, The Bear Travels,
Toronto, Ontario

(The Mahekal Beach has an) “Amazing
natural feeling with exceptional
spa. Yoga is offered and the beach
is to die for!”
