IAGTO Cancun fam trip - Mayan Riviera
I have just returned from my 3rd IGTM , held in Cancun, Mexico, and I am trying to adjust back to the Canadian climate.
I was fortunate enough to participate in the IAGTO pre and post fam trips. The pre-fam included golf at three fantastic golf courses located along the Mayan Riviera: El Camaleon Golf Course, designed by Greg Norman and managed by the Fairmont. I stayed for a couple of nights at the ultra-luxurious Fairmont Mayakoba Resort The service was exceptional, and the resort layout is unique. With various modes of transportation to get around (boat, bicyle and shuttle), there is no excuse not to get out and try all of the fantastic restaurants, pool areas and hotel facilities.

Another great course, Iberostar's Playa Pariso designed by PB Dye will challenge any level of golfer.
The newly opened
Grand Hotel Paraiso is an adult-only five star all-inclusive property that should satisfy the most discerning guest. I didn't get the opportunity to stay here (this time!) - but had the tour, and it certainly looks impressive and grand.

Finally, on our third day we golfed at Moon Palace . Set on the Mayan Riviera at the Moon Palace, this Nicklaus Signature Design, 7,165 yard, par-72, course is a true championship golf course that surpasses even the highest standards set by Palace Resorts. The day was HOT, but thanks to the frequent visits of the beverage cart (and the fact that it was 'all inclusive'), lots of cool beverages were consumed, and everyone stayed happy...There were even a few alligator spottings, which raised a few eyebrows (and certainly kept me well away from the water!).
