We arrived at the hotel and were instantly greeted with cool towels and champagne. Upon walking into the lobby area it was quite obvious that they had really taken the time in the design of the property as it was stunning and looked very oriental in style. Once we had checked into the hotel we got taken to our room, we had a preferred club Ocean View room with outside Jacuzzi and our own plunge pool...

I stayed at the Excellence Playa Mujeres for seven nights in September 2009. The hotel is modern and beautifully designed. The room was great, identical to those shown on the Blue Bay Travel website, with a four poster bed and Jacuzzi bath. As we were a part of the ‘Excellence Club’ the mini bar included four bottles of spirits as well as the standard fridge stocked with wine, beers, water, fruit juices and fizzy drinks...

After getting acquainted with my fellow travellers I checked in for my Flight to Kingston. Upon check-in I found that we had very kindly been upgraded to Virgin’s Premium Economy cabin which was a lovely surprise !

Arriving at Grantley Adams International Airport, Barbados the weather could not have been more perfect. We travelled 35minutes by coach to the Tamarind Cove situated on the west coast. The Tamarind Cove has an inviting Caribbean charm as soon as you enter and the pristine beach with crystal clear waters was to die for.
