My family visited here in Aug. 1991. We rented campers in Salt Lake City and toured the four corners areas, which is a highly recommenable way to see this unique and quietly beautiful part of our country. We stayed in quite a few campgrounds, but to me none to compare to Canyon De Chelly. We stayed at a campground on the reservation which most of this area is. It was run by a very nice Native man who had a heated outdoor shower which added to the ambiance and flavor of this wild and natural area. We walked the trail to the canyon view and were treated to the breath-taking landscape which I thought was more beautiful than the very commercial and crowded Grand Canyon. The rocks and cliffs have such force and personality with an array of colors that would keep and artist happy forever. It was a very spiritual and reverent place where you could really admire nature in all it’s glory.

Last December,a couple of days after Christmas, my husband and kids ages 18 and 14 took the train into NYC from LI where we were visiting family. We had tickets to see the Rockettes which proved to be very entertaining and quite seasonaly gratifying, even if the kids were somewhat less entertained. After, we had planned to visit Little Italy, my husband being totally Italian and the kids one-half. The day was beautiful so we decided to walk and once we were past the main shopping drag the crowds thinned out and we could walk unhindered.The buildings were like mountain ranges all outlined and shadowed in various designs as you looked up. We passed the Bowery and around here I think we found ourselves in the Battery Park which was so interesting. We continued and finally came to Little Italy where we ate in a restaurant where Tony Soprano had also eaten.It was superb and so was our day.

It is actually Tulum and it is well worth the visit to the ruins which are located on the water and are breathtaking. Our guide was very knowledgable and I would go again.

Went as a family trip and stayed at the Beach Palace Resort and had the best time. Friends and their same age kids went 18 and 15 and they had a blast. Very safe and lots to do. Great excursions and plenty of food and drink. All inclusive. Absolutely beautiful and the nicest and friendliest people.
