Very nice and the price is right. I love mine and will buy more

It's very different and well made. I bought this for one of my bridesmaids as a thank you gift. I figured she could use it for pictures of the wedding or her new baby. It's unique and I think she will really like it. Looks better in person than in the picture. I love it when that happens.

This photoalbum turned out to be much better than I expected. All natural materials, such a wonderful design of the cover! You'll be positively suprised when you get this item. Exceeded all my expectations! Couldn't ask for more!

This handmade photo album is by far one of the best gifts I've given. Countless people have commented on it and think it's so beautiful. The item is very high quality and I would recommend it to anyone who wants a unique photo album to display anywhere in the house. Be sure to put only the best pictures inside! I have seen some people just admire the album and never open it.

We bought this for our daughter who is going to Jamaica for vacation. It will be perfect for memories of her trip. The design and quality is outstanding. Much nicer than any other photo albums we have seen. We are very happy with the purchase and will definitely consider again for future gift ideas.

This is probably the biggest waste of time, I ever spend watching a video. This is not a 'Spingbeak' flick, or a story or any kind of acting or even a documentary, it is simply a NOTHING! Don't waste your time or money on it!

is a show like the real world, and the road rules, but in dvd and with an ending, will get you hipper but not the best, if you want the real cancun you better of going there for real.

On a whim I decided to watch "The Real Cancun" having missed its all to short theatrical release. I am positive I am older than the target audience but "The Real World" and "Road Rules" were brand new when I was in college in the early 1990's and I was a fan of both those series. This movie was edited very poorly. There are way too many characters to keep track of, and the audience cannot possibly know or care about any of them. The movie follows a simple pattern. We'll start to get a glimpses into some of the characters but then it reverts to a collage of party and beach scenes, followed by a insight from another character then more partying. The movie can't even decide if it cares about any of these kids or if it just wants to be some sort of skin flick, although it doesn't succeed there either because not much skin is shown. The movie does depict more than a few of the kids in situations they are sure to regret when they are older, especially since the behavior is chronicled and will be available in bargain dvd bins for years to come. The twin girls (I forget there names) come off especially bad. The extras include interviews with some of the cast members at a premier party. This is especially interesting because they all look mortified. There are several deleted scenes, most of which are boring. There is one scene that I am curious as to why it was excised from the movie and that is the women's wet t-shirt contest. It is a little more raunchy than anything else in the movie (thanks again to the twins), but a little raunch didn't faze the other hour or so of the movie so I continue to be curious as to why it was left out. In the end this movie has little to recommend it and if you never see it you will not have missed anything important.

Well, many people reviewed this movie as "a sure way to lower your IQ" and "with characters without personalities". I definitely don't share these views. I have a B.Sc. in pure maths and computer science, love classical music and play the piano. So would consider myself above the average intelligence. The movie itself is a documentry about 16 contrasting characters (cassanova, nerd, virgin, slut, etc) living for one week under the same roof. It gives a better insight into what goes on in young people's minds than any useless psychology textbook. And every human being has a character. You just have to look into it.

With movies like Eurotrip, Hostel and Rules of Attraction (if only for a minute) focusing on the ugly American tourist stereotype, it's rather interesting that this "reality" movie takes a straight (albeit contrived by MTV) look at the tourist on vacation looking to score and presents the most despicable, depraved version possible. Do you carry that stereotype of the French being rude to tourists around with you? Well forget it, buddy. After this movie you'll wonder why the French don't kill American tourists and why everyone else is so polite. A bunch of generic Frat types go to Cancun for drinking and wet t-shirt contests. Many of them "hook up" as the kids call it these days. One gets the "shy kid gets booze and becomes wild man" storyline (and in the extras you discover that the reason why he wasn't getting naked on the beach with the blond has more to do with his girlfriend back home than repression) and the rest get lamer stories. There's one poor guy that spends most of his time playing guitar and must content himself to be solo dude - like Jeff Goldblum in The Big Chill when everyone else is taking full advantage of the college reunion. Although this guy writes really awful songs like "The STD song" and "Back in the 80s" which everyone in the house loves because everyone in the house is drunk. So why am I giving this movie three stars instead of the customary one? Because it's so awful that it almost makes it to good, but at very least it's important. You will want to slap everyone associated with this movie, so just think about that the next time you're in Europe and can't get a decent cheeseburger and want to complain to the waiter.

We love Jennifer Saunders and bought this video because we thought she had something to do with a place we love, i.e., the Yucatan. Well, she ain't here. Search for Jennifer Saunders and you will find that (according to Amazon) she is also part of "Girls Gone Wild" video and something about a nude female wrestler. It might be interesting and entertaining is she were, but that's not the case. Get it together, Amazon, and gimme my money back!

Great DVD for learning the ropes and getting the inside scoop on what to do and where to go. Ended up saving LOTS of time and money on our trip. The footage was so real (and gorgeous!!!). Akumal actually looked just like the DVD showed...not like the run-of-the-mill garbage you can get from travel brochures. TWO THUMBS WAY UP!!!

I'm so glad I watched this video before I went to the "Mayan Rivera" area for vacation and R&R. It not only turned me on to some great places to drink and eat, but also helped me to find some really cool places to stay without wasting time and money learning where not to stay. I was especially glad to learn in advance about the customs and expectations when it comes to transportation and the the pitfalls one might suffer when unaware. Great Video and Vacation planning tool. Definitely Thumbs UP !!!

Having vacationed in Akumal for the past eleven years I was so impressed by the way the makers of this DVD hit the nail on the head! Though it has grown in tourism over the years, Akumal is still a place you can have a laid back and even primitive vacation if you know the right tips! These guys have definitely spent some time down there!

I have been to the Yucatan coast numerous times and have taken many friends during that time, I have to say that Akumal is one of our favorite spots! It is truly a gem on a coast dominated by heavy tourism and big Americanized resorts. I only wish I would have had this DVD ten years ago, as many of their "trip tips" for travelers in Mexico I learned the hard way. VERY HELPFUL! The footage is great, it is such a beautiful area and the dvd depicts it wonderfully. With this dvd you know exactly what you are getting and exactly what to do when you plan a trip to Akumal, like a personal tour guide! Loved it!

With Shari Belafonte as the spokesperson, the visits are mostly on the upscale. This is an interesting video with good quality sound and picture. I bought this CD because I am seeking information about Belize, but Cancun has a nice beach and snorkeling also.

Product was shipped swiftly. Great design and color saturation(pink). The only downside is that I bought a 12 month old size for my 4 month old anticipating shrinkage but this onsie shrank to nearly 1/2 its size after one wash. I'd have bought an 18 month old size if I had it to do over again.

This light read is a well written description of what life aboard a cruise ship was like for one young man before mega-ships. The author weaves a tale around what we're lead to believe his life was like as a Purser aboard this vessel that plies the Caribbean from its Miami homeport; we see the outcome of his infatuation with a passenger early on, before he does, sadly, and we're left to ponder what might have been. Ahh, but what sweet memories...
