esfand, I had not seen that picture

by Cost-of-Progress on

he he, maybe JJ was real hungry and thirsty when he checked in and asked for a wrist band in every available color..... , or may be one of those is Robert's band and JJ is playing a cancun trick on his young nephew?

in some/all all inclusives, the wrist band color signifies whether you can drink alcohol or not, i.e. age!

Cancun is an oasis

by mahmoudg on

stayed there two years ago at the Moon Place, which i believe is very close to where this is.  But i have wondered in all the times i have travelled to Mexico, all this indulgance, catering to almost an exclusive American clientelle, who come here to flaunt their wealth at a place were poverty is rampant..... could this be good in the future!! i can't help but think of our own country and the aftermath.....


Esfand Aashena

Seems like fun! Why the different color wrist bands?

by Esfand Aashena on

Why you have different color wristbands and Robert and others different colors? 

Everything is sacred

Sky coulor with birds make it a very nice picture.

JJ jan, be carefull, during your Eurpoean stay, you bacame thin and now with inclusive food you could gain weigts ;-)

You mean the food was included? Not free!!

by farrad02 on

When you say "Free Food", do you mean it was included in the price of the package? Or may be you mean it was free to YOU, and someone else treated you. Otherwise, I don't think anybody gives you food for "free"!!! :)

thanks Jahanshah,

by Anahid Hojjati on

That is nice of you.


Jahanshah Javid

Use any picture

by Jahanshah Javid on

Anahid, you can use any pictures in my photo essays. Enjoy!


Anahid Hojjati

JJ, can we use your nature and building pictures?

by Anahid Hojjati on

Dear Jahanshah, sometimes, I am looking for pictures to use alongside my poems and other blogs on IC. Would that be Ok to use your pictures from nature and buildings? Obviously, nothing personal will be used but it would be nice to be able to use a picture of birds that you have for instance and it would be only for blogs on IC. Please let me know. You will be given credit for the picture too.

With respect, this website is not ..

by reader1 on

…  the most appropriate place for posting of personal holiday snapshots - even for its  owner, proprietor and editor in chief!  Thanks to your efforts this website has become an excellent cultural hub for Iranians to post articles, reviews, opinion pieces and essays on subjects to do with Iranian politics, culture and art.  Please keep it the way it is. I am, respectfully, your humble ordinary reader.

i am sure 23 is not yours! is it a wishful photo?

by Jonny Dollar on

Thanks for showing us this place. I don't see anything but 4 hotels and beach. I am just wondering why would people go there when they can have the same beaches in California and florida? the people who are serivng in the hotels look the same as well, except we are illegal there. am i missing something? price may be?!

"God is love!"

Beautiful pictures as usual, but I loves 26, 46 and 56 the best. They spoke to my minimalist sense. 

Thanks for sharing.

Cost

by Jahanshah Javid on

The flight depends on where you're flying from and what time of year. Christmas and New Year are most expensive. I was a guest so I did not pay for the hotel room. Check their rates and packages here:

I hope you enjoyed...

Sun of a beach.

Never increase, beyond what is necessary, the number of entities required to explain anything.

 


asadabad

just out of curiosity

by asadabad on

what did it cost per person for this trip and what exactly does the package include?
