It's All About the Shower at the ME Cancun

Where: Boulevard Kukulkan, Cancun, Quintana Roo, Mexico

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 ME by Melia Cancun, 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:

The highlight was the spacious shower, with a seat and two showerheads -- an oversize rainfall-type and a handheld nozzle -- both of which had great water pressure and worked simultaneously.

It is curious though, that the Times would hold this review for so long. Higgins says she stayed at the property in February, and we have a hard time thinking not a thing has changed since then.
