Avalon Baccara Cancun, Zona Hotelera

We love the Baccara. It is a great boutique hotel -quiet -but has everything you'll need. It is housed in what was once a private mansion -so it has tons of quirky details like unexpected and unusually shaped hallways and windows. The first time we went with our children. We had been there for four nights during spring break. The hotel is ideal. A smooth white sand beach separates the beautiful pool from the blue and green Carribean Sea. There is a life guard, so you feel comfortable leaving your towels, etc on the lounges -or one of the "beach beds" made up with sheets and completely comfortable. Every staff member seems focused on making sure that you're having a great time -especially the manager, Sr. Meza. We were so impressed with the service and hotel (we really had no idea what to expect -and had low expectations... it was meant to be a stop-over) that we decided to return a month later without the kids! This time we were even more delighted. The rooms were fantastic. With the kids we stayed in a 2 br. suite (2 baths, a kitchen, etc. terrace overlooking the beach and pool) Without the kids we stayed in a 1br suite -with terraces overlooking the bay and the sea. jacuzzis in both room. it was truly beautiful. Great spa treatments too -at "sister" hotel Avalon Grand 100 yards away. We're tempted to keep this a secret, but, we feel that the hotel should benefit! The only improvements we would recommend would be establishing wireless (or, any) internet for guest use -and maybe better tv choices. Otherwise, it is perfect. Enjoy your trip!
