Charlie:
3 years ago a week at the Allegro cost us $1200.00 CDN all in.
This year, a week at Fiesta Americana cost us $1200.00 CDN, all in.
The food was FAR better, The time to the reefs was negligible, the cost for a taxi into town was cheaper, the service was better.
Did I mention the food was FAR better???
Really guys, there's no comparison.
Our whole trip, including ocean diving, Cenotes etc, was cheaper this year than any other time we've ever gone. We did more boat dives, I got to use ALU100's (incl), and we did 2 amazing cenote dives with OUR VERY OWN guide. The guy was incredible, ScubaTony.com. We did our ocean dives with BlueXTSea, the owner (Christi on this board) can set all the diving up for you too.
As to the alcohol, I couldn't tell you. I had 2 beers all week.
Hopefully the fillet mignons I ate made up for it.
