for those of you going soon to the IBQ/T, do me a favor. Go to the main bar where the entertaining is and ask for "SANTOS" (best bartendar around). He made us some shots back around Christmas called "green frogs" and for the life of us we cannot remember what the ingredients were. I need you guys to get that recipe for us.
They are green in color and the last ingredient he puts in is some red cherry flavor..of they are delicious.

Thanks

Hi family Braun, first of all I am sure you will enjoy the Quetzal hotel...we stayed at the sister hotel Tucan last year...it was our first trip to Mexico ..so we are no experts on the area...but first of all the hotel rooms do have a wireless keyboards....and also an internet cafe in the hotel foya... not sure about cars etc...but there is great shopping on 5th avenue..lots of designer outlets too...and only 10 mins in a cab for about 50 pesos very reasonable! there are lots of restaurants and bars everything you could want......Cancun is about an hour from hotel.......as for snorkelling you are better off going on a trip ..there is a big choice where to go...the beaches are not very good for that really..just for swimming and water sports. hope I have been of some help..maybe someone else will give you more info...enjoy your holiday

Cool

My family and I will be there from June 16-24. My husband and I went last year to the Sandos, we are taking the kids this time (17 and an 8 year old). Should be a blast.

Vacation

Wife and I are going to the Quetzal for our yearly vacation. Will be there all next week. Can't wait. Anyone else going during that time frame? We had 8 inches of snow Friday - Saturday this weekend. I am ready for some warm weather...
