Pour Cozumel, tout est tellement facile. Les hôtel sont souvent semblables; la bouffe répétitive et les spectacles semblables. Mais ce qui est génial là-bas, c'est que tout est facile d'accès. Moi et mon frère on y était l'an passé. Comme notre hôtel était un peu isolé, on s'est loué un scooter et on s'est promené pratiquement tous les jours. On a découver un endroit génial, LE MONEY BAR. On peut s'installer là en début de journée et y rester toute la journée. Du stationnement, pas de frais d'entrée. On peut y faire de la plongée en apnée et tout ce qu'on te demande est de consommer quelque chose. Nous, on a pris des bières après la plongée et aussi une entrée de nachos. Ça nous a couté environ 20$ pour la journée et nos bédaines étaient pleines et nos yeux aussi. À un tel point qu'on y retourne cette année...
Un scooter vous permettra de vous déplacer jusqu'à Punta Sur. La route t'y mène automatiquement et , tant qu'à y être, contunuez sur la route et faites le tour der l'ile. Ça prend environ 2 heures ou plus si vous vous arrêtez souvent. Prenez le soin de faire le plein avant de partir parce qu'il n'y a pas de station service sur ce trajet. Si vous avez un petit (ou gros) creux, il y a 3 ou 4 endroits où vous pourrez vous arrêter. À Punta Sur et de l'autre coté de l'ile, attention à la baignade; les vagues sont généralement énormes et il n'y a pas de sauveteur. La route est droite et la mer à perte de vue.
L'hôtel où nous serons cette année est le Parc Royal; c'est super confortable et on peu y faire de l'apnée à partir de la plage, mini plage. Mais si le décor ne convient pas, il y a plein d'autres places. C'est sûr que ce n'est pas la grande aventure mais pour se reposer un petite semaine...
Merci pour l'info, nous partons le 27 novembre pour 18 jours. Nous voulons faire de la plongée en apnée et de la plongée sous-marine (best place). Nous allons louer soit un scooter ou un jeep. Nous seront à l'Occidental Grand Cozumel. Je donnerai des news à mon retour.
Nous sommes de retour avec des souvenirs merveilleux et des images pleins la tête!
J'ai fait 21 plongées dont une de nuit, WoW! tortues, murènes, pieuvres, etc....
l'Hôtel est bien, nous avons dormis comme des bébés, le buffet est convenable pas
beaucoup de variétés mais toujours de quoi de très bon a manger. Le midi, excellent
choix. Le service est extra pas un mot à redire. Nous y retournerons.
Nous avons loué un Jeep et avons fait le tout et nous nous sommes arrêté à Punta Sur.
SUPERBE!
Nous comptons refaire ce voyage en 2012, probablement fin mars début avril.
Heureuse de voir que vous vous y êtes bien amusés. Nous, nous partons à la fin du mois de janvier. Mon frère ne veut pas essayer la plongée, il a peur. Dommmmmage! On va plutôt faire de l'apnée et de jour....
Je vais quand même essayer de dénicher quelque chose de hors circuit, sécuritaire et différent. Je sais que, en s'informant auprès des chauffeurs de taxi, on peut faire des découvertes. Je vais m'y mettre dès l'aéroport!
I’m planning to go to an all-inclusive resort next April. I know it’s the start of sargassum season, but I was wondering if it really affects swimming. Do hotels clean the beach? Is it still possible to swim?
I’d like to book an all-inclusive trip next April. My criteria: 1) no sargassum, 2) 4 stars or higher, 3) ability to snorkel right from the hotel beach, and 4) safe.
Hey, I’d like to know which hotel in the south doesn’t force you to wake up at 4 AM just to reserve a shady chair, whether it’s at the beach or the pool.
Hi,
For my husband's 50th birthday, we're going to Mombasa for 10 days and 8 nights in March 2026.
I found a hotel, the Kappa Club Crystal Bay Resort, and online reviews for this hotel recommend a guide named Omar. I contacted him via WhatsApp, and he's offering a 2-day, 1-night safari in Tsavo East, a "blue safari," and a Marafa Canyon day trip for 400 € per person.
I’m asking for help from people who’ve already done these excursions because I have no idea what these offers entail.
Thank you for any advice you can give me about this trip.

Hi everyone, I’m writing here because I’m really torn—I want to go on a trip. A vacation? 10 to 12 days, maybe 14 days. Starting March 14th. I’m in a wheelchair but completely independent. I was thinking of going to Martinique, but apparently, the hotels aren’t all-inclusive, which might be a hassle. If you have any advice, that’d be great. Otherwise, I was considering Mexico—a long-time dream. At an all-inclusive hotel with accessibility on one level (since I’m independent but in a wheelchair). Do you know of any nice, budget-friendly hotels with activities in Mexico? Or Zanzibar is also an option for me, same idea.
Thanks in advance for your help! If you have any tips, that would be amazing so I can finally make up my mind and plan my trip without too much stress. I’m looking ahead so I have plenty of time. Feel free to ask questions if you’d like. Thanks for your feedback, have a great evening!
Hi everyone,
happy to be back on this site.
I’m tired of spending hours and hours searching for all-inclusive hotels for my first trip to Mexico to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary.
Can anyone recommend 5 or 6 hotel names that meet the following criteria? (I’m not too picky, lol)
1. All-inclusive
2. Adults-only
3. Beautiful beach and pool
4. Hotel for relaxing (no "factory hotels")
5. One-week stay in February 2026
6. A nice hotel (3 or 4 stars) but no need for an ultra-palace
Oh, and I almost forgot the main thing 😉: budget between 3500 € and 4000 € for two, including flights from Montreal-Mexico-Montreal.
Thanks to all of you for your recommendations!

I’m looking into November (first, will it be warm enough for snorkeling in Sharm El Sheikh?) and especially for feedback on hotels. I’ve read that the clientele is mostly Italian or Russian. Are there any French-speaking hotels—or at least mixed ones?
We’re a retired couple and are looking for a hotel around 1,000 € per week.
We’ll be in Cairo beforehand and will take a domestic flight.
Thanks in advance.
We’re thinking of booking an "all-inclusive" trip so we don’t have to worry too much... for a week at the beginning of next September, but we’re torn between several destinations: Crete? Cyprus? Sicily? Sardinia? The only thing we’re really looking for is sunshine. Thanks in advance for any tips you can share!
Hi there,
I’m planning a stay at the Sian Kan in the Riviera Maya and was wondering if anyone’s been there recently. If so, are the location, welcome, services, and food still as excellent as they used to be? I’ve heard that since the train between Cancun and Tulum was built, things might have gone downhill.
Thanks for your feedback!

Hi there, I’m a 43-year-old woman planning to travel solo in early March. I’m not really into "commercial resorts," but if I find a place that fits my criteria, I might be interested. To add to the info in the title, I’m open to various activities, but ideally, it’d include snorkeling, hiking, dance (every evening if possible!), group tours, etc. I’d love to meet people (not necessarily a man—just people in general!). I’m not necessarily aiming for the cheapest resort, but since it’s spring break week and everything’s already pricier, 5-star options are probably out of the question. Thanks!
Hello!
What a pleasure to be back on Voyage Forum!
We’ll be in Venice from March 20th to 24th, and I’m looking (for two couples) for a hotel close to St. Mark’s Square—my husband can’t walk long distances. For four nights with breakfast, our budget is around 1,400 € per couple. To avoid too much walking for him, I’d also prefer a hotel where we could potentially eat dinner in the evenings.
If anyone has any recommendations, thank you in advance to those who reply!
We’re planning a week-long trip to Iceland to see the Northern Lights.
We’re looking at staying from March 22nd to 30th: will we still be able to see the Northern Lights, or is it too late in the season?
We found a deal on Voyage Privé that seems like a good price, with a hotel in Reykjavik. If we rent a car, are there any interesting sites we can visit during the day, since we’re tied to returning to Reykjavik every night—or else we’d lose our nights at the hotel!
Hi,
I was planning a trip to Hurghada at the end of March, but it's the end of Ramadan.
Some people are telling me I should avoid it.
What do you think?
Thanks
Hi
I can’t manage to get in touch directly with one of the hotels in Prachuap...
like Prachuap Grand Hotel or Prachuap Beach Hotel...
has anyone been there recently?
or have any info?
Thanks everyone...
Hi there,
We’re heading to Argentina and Chile in February 2025. I’d love to know if it’s recommended to book accommodations (hotels, guesthouses, etc.) in advance, especially in Patagonia? Thanks for your tips!
Hi everyone,
I’d like to book 2 nights at a camp inside Etosha (Halali).
However, online, I’ve found two sites for making this reservation:
The first is the Etosha National Park site: https://etoshanationalpark.co.za
You can’t pay online there—you just submit a reservation request (enquiry).
The second is the NWR (Namibia Wildlife Resorts) site: https://www.nwr.com.na, where you *can* pay online.
Is the latter one reliable?
Thanks so much for your tips!
Frédéric
