Some of our sales team, Shirin, Zac, Marvin & Charlie all set off in the early hours of Tuesday morning to London Gatwick, flying with Virgin Atlantic/Delta Air Lines. Eleven hours later and the team landed safely in the mild lands of Cancun, Mexico.
The team got up nice and early for breakfast, and the view they woke up too is nothing short of remarkable!
Today started with a welcome presentation followed by a site inspection of the beautiful Secrets The Vine Cancun Resort where they got to experience the Preferred Club! The Preferred Club at Secrets offer various additional amenities & services including: private preferrered club lounge, concierge service, private swimming pool, daily continental breakfast service in the lounge and so much more.

After their busy morning the team were unfortunatley set back due to the weather. They were due to go on a private catamaran excursion where they were going to spend four hours cruising down the Cancun Hotel Zone coast. This would have included an open bar and a guided snorkelling tour, but due to the weather this had to be cancelled. Instead, the team enjoyed a chilled day around the pool which probably was for the best after their long-haul flight just a mere 18 hours prior.
After a gruesome day at the office, it was fast approaching dinner-time, and tonight it was going to be a Mexican Themed Night, Secrets the Vine Cancun have themed nights and on this Wednesday it just happened to be Viva Mexico!
Later on, it was time to party! The group set out for the the famous Coco Bongo night club! Now, Coco Bongo isn’t your traditional, DJ-controlled nightclub, a typical night at Coco Bongo involves projected videos, balloons, soap bubbles and confetti!
After partying at Coco Bongo it was time to check out so the group had to battle a few sore heads and be up nice and early ready for the next adventure! The team were being transferred to the not so far, fortunately for some, Dreams Riviera Cancun Resort & Spa. Another AAA Four Diamond award-winning venue which boasts a tropical paradise of lush gardens and a fabulous location close to the exciting Cancun and Playa del Carmen where they had a site inspection of the resort.
