Beware of the Hacienda
Traveler Review By: Nicole Gloden-Buysse from France, Thionville
Date of Visit: September 2003
We spent 14 days at the Bahia Principe Tulum. The resort is nice, but be prepared to cohabitate with a lot of (very small) ants in your room. They are regularly exterminated (upon request), and usually this is quite effective for a few days. The personnel is very friendly and the food is correct: good quality and ABUNDANT. Just one MAJOR warning: do NOT buy jewelry at the so-called 'serious' jewelry shop of the Hacienda: it's a rip-off.
I made the mistake of buying some jewelry there (a few rings and
bracelets). The person in charge of the jewelry shop at the Hacienda assured me that it was solid silver. When I brought one of the bracelets to a local jewelry shop here in Luxembourg, they informed me it was plated lead (!!), and not at all solid silver. Also, the so-called 'marquisettes' with which the
bracelet and the rings were decorated turned out to be painted glass, instead of regular marquisettes. So I paid the price of solid silver for some junk which I could have bought from any street-vendor at a tenth of the price.
I can understand being ripped off if I take the risk of buying something from a street vendor. On the contrary, I do NOT accept being ripped off in a shop belonging to a so-called 'resort' with a certain standing. So Bye bye Mexico - that's the very last you've seen of us! Keep on treating your tourists as assholes and see where it gets you.
