Moon Palace Golf and Spa Resort is pure luxury nestled on Cancun’s south shore. The resort literally offers something for everyone and you can see from some of the photos that the location is hard to describe in words...   But of course you can try!

One of the things I am most impressed with about Cancun is that they ask you to use biodegradable sunblock, How astonishing is that? Their caring for the environment shows because the water is so clean and crystal.

The resort is set surrounded by lush foliage and also is home to a 27 hole Jack Nicklaus golf course.The gorgeous Resort and Spa is perfect for couples and families alike “Tried and tested there's no better recommendation” is just a few of the bold statements coming back from visitors here at Charter Travel  .

You can take your children to join in with the luxury and ages range from 2 - 14 years, Mini Golf to Dolphin swimming, Flow rider to tennis courts, Kiddies clubs age (4-12) to teenage lounge areas, buffet restaurants to gourmet dining.  Seems there is a little bit of everything here, but maybe too “Posh” or “Expensive”...

Well think again, because here at Charter Travel 14 nights ALL Inclusive 5* Moon Palace Cancun holiday Includes:

• Flights from UK to Cancun

" Where Do I Go? "

Well it is always hard to start when travelling to Cancun because of the many attractions and surrounding jungle but with many hotel packages including tours; you don't really have to go far to visit some of the most famous attractions whilst on holiday.

International Driving Permit Update

Charter Travel have been advised by ABTA that the Florida Department of Highway Safety & Motor Vehicles have suspended the state’s recently enacted International Driving Permit requirement and is pending further study. International visitors who plan to drive in Florida will now only need a valid driver’s license issued from their own country (both parts - if applicable) and a major credit card.

Do I need an International Driving Permit?

Do I need an International Driving Permit to drive a hire car in Florida? In short, YES, you do!

This has been the topic of conversion across forums and social media sites in the last week and has been a question that we have been swamped with. In fact we are quite surprised at the lack of communication there has been to inform anyone of this … we weren’t informed and even the car hire companies did not appear to be aware of this??
However, after some extensive research it has come to light that if you have a UK driving license and you are planning on driving in Florida then you will need an International Driving Permit. This came into action on the 1st January 2013 and can be purchased from your local post office - currently priced at £5.50.
As it stands we are aware that this is just a law that has been implemented in the state of Florida, however there may be a possibility that it will be adopted in other states so be sure to check with your local post office if you plan on driving in the USA. You will find more information on this at your local Post Office and The AA.
