We have booked the Paradisus for the first full week of April '04 which is Holy Week. First, does anyone have any comments on the quality of this resort?
During spring break the last three years (we are Teachers) we have stayed at AI's in the Playa Del Carmen, Mexico area (Iberostar Tucan & Parasio) which we loved. This year we decided to try the DI. We booked this resort through recommendations of our travel agent. However, I have come across some posts on travel boards that really put this resort down and noted many problems with the rooms, the service, etc. I'm sure some of these posts are bogus but would like any feedback anyone has. We usually spend our time at the beach, playing in the waves, reading, playing in the pool and having a few drinks (not necessarily in that order). We also like taking one or two half day excursions to see the sites and shop as well as snorkeling and jet skis. Anyone have tips?
I read in a travel book that activities slow down or stop the last few days of Holy Week through Easter Sunday. Does this affect the services at the resorts? Are there any special activities that occur during Holy Week? Again, any info would be appreciated.
Thanks! - Allen
