Our anonymous tipster can't be so scathing in the guidebook text. However, we at HotelChatter are not known for being diplomatic, so here's the straight scoop on a few hotels: <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/ME+by+Melia+Cancun/local/972">ME Melia Cancun</a> "The doormats at ME say 'It's all about YOU!' Ack. Their signature thing seems to be heavily scented air. Someone had really gone nuts with the essential-oil-diffuser thing. They were also playing Foreigner at Volume 11 in the pool area." <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Azul+Blue+Hotel+And+Spa/ian/260205">Azul Blue</a> "This resort is not 'Azul

<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/admin/MECancun.jpg" class="imgborder">The New York Times ran an all-Caribbean section this week, but the paper singled out a hotel in Mexico for some serious scrutiny. The <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Me+By+Melia+Cancun/ian/121196">ME by Melia Cancun</a>, complete with its Rande Gerber bar and Maxim Pool Bar, ends up sounding pretty good, if Cancun is your thing. The hotel is a renovated property, says writer Michelle Higgins, but the conversion into trendy, Miami Beach-style hotel is complete. All the standard in-room electronics are in place, the three pools are "inviting" and the two restaurants do well both in the dining room and through room service. The reason to stay, though, is in the bathroom:<blockquote>The highlight was the spacious shower, with a seat and two showerheads --

The hotel received the AAA 5-Diamond Awards while its restaurant, Gustino's, received four diamonds. The resort joins the less than one percent of the more than 60,000 AAA-approved properties to receive the five-star award. AAA judges make their determinations based on service, accommodations, amenities, and overall experience. To earn the title, the complex piles on more indulgences than the average top-tier resort. The 35,000 square-foot spa has "Mayan-inspired" treatments and rituals, the hotel says. For relaxers-in-training, there's a kids spa that offers a "Mayan Princess for a Day." The two-hour pampering time involves a mani-pedi, a hair-styling session

<![CDATA[ <img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/admin/cancun_hilton.jpg" class="imgborder"> Cancun gets a bad rap. Since MTV started featuring coeds' vacation habits on the manmade islet on the tip of the Yucatan, the city has attracted a specific crowd - those looking to take advantage of Mexico's 18-plus drinking age. But there's another side to Cancun. The city features some of the whitest sand and bluest waters of the Caribbean. Lining these beaches are some pretty nice resorts, like the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Hilton+Cancun+Golf+%26+Spa+Resort/ian/207211">Hilton Cancun Golf & Spa Resort</a>. Right now, the hotel is offering a 20 percent discount for those who book before Oct. 23. The hotel is also offering two packages aimed at rejuvination and romance -- the last two priorities on a
