Seriously Liz and I really enjoyed meeting you and being able to share our visit with you was great. And I believe we did notice you enjoying that jacuzzi bed on your last day. :L
You have our email so do keep in touch.
R and L.


Thanks! You two were great. Your participation in the KIK Group made us more comfortable and prepared for our trip to Desire Pearl. We will always be grateful for that. Your willingness to engage and help us in person while we were at the resort made us love an appreciate you two even more.

Your guys should have joined us on the jacuzzi bed that last night. Ha! Now that would have gotten us out of our comfort zone for sure! Maybe next time. :lol:

Take care our wonderful Canadian friends. Hopefully we will stay in touch until we meet again.

We live in Mexico and have found that the best exchange rate is obtained at an ATM. You have to check wiyh your bank to see if there is a foreign transaction fee. My last ATM transaction yielde an exchage rate of 18.4 pesos to the USD.

We always use the ATM to the left just as you walk out the sliding doors at the cancun airport. Great conversion rate and my bank only charges a few dollars fee. It gives primarily $500 notes so I then exchange for $100 notes every other day or so at the Pearl front desk. They are always more than happy to exchange smaller notes as they know it will go back to their staff.
