5-star all-inclusive Mexico package

Fly from Gatwick on 8 May and a week’s all-inclusive at the five-star, ocean-front Dreams Puerto Aventuras Resort and Spa in Mexico costs from just £1,149 per person with Tour America Direct.

The resort has two superb swimming pool complexes, romantic plunge pools set in rocks above the white sand beach, tropical gardens studded with palm trees and thatched ‘palapas’.  The luxurious rooms, with a king-sized canopy bed, or two queen-sized beds, each have a furnished balcony or terrace, stocked mini-bar and all the amenities expected in a resort created to satisfy five-star American standards.

Bars include the poolside Sugar Reef and Manatees Swim-Up bar to the Barracuda Beach Bar and a Sports Bar.  And there’s a choice of six restaurants, offering Mexican (of course), Italian and American menus, a seaside grill and a formal gourmet seafood restaurant plus the World Café international menu.

A host of daytime activities included in the package ranges from windsurfing and catamaran sailing at the beach, to ball games and dancing, cooking and Spanish classes.  The resort also has a superb Spa.  Scuba diving, tennis and golf are available nearby at additional cost.

Private or group excursions (extra cost) can be arranged to Cancun and the night-life of Playa del Carmen, a short drive north, while the resort is also superbly placed for discovering Mexico’s ancient sites, the nearest (20 minutes away) being Tulum’s extraordinary pyramids.  Other options are game fishing from Puerto Morelos, the natural aquarium at Xel-Ha and a ferry trip to Cozumel.
