<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> I received lots of great feedback on Riviera Maya near Cancun Mexico all- inclusives. This seems like a great area with many accomodating hotels. Thanks to all for the information. Sharon Stayed a week in the Aventura, very nice place, ate in the special restaurant they have .the maitre de was very helpful and was able to determine what I could eat and most of it was ok . did eat in the buffet lunch and breakfast and choose what i thought was ok, i had no problem We stayed at the Barcelo in January. It was wonderful. I took a restaurant card in English and Spanish. I gave it to the person in charge of the dining room and they were extremely helpful. They would make anything we asked for, the head chef came out at every meal and went down the line and told me what we could eat. One night they had a strawberry dessert and it did have flour in it so they came out with a whole plate full of fresh strawberries. I did have a reaction two times, the first time I had two things so I am not sure it was either the eggs or the chocolate I sprinkled on my cappuccino.I ate the eggs again later in the week and had a reaction again. You do have to observe how they make things, they make the pancakes on the same grill as the omelets. I did stay away from a lot of food, but I had plenty to eat--actually too much. It is very easy to eat in most Mexican restaurants when you get to Cancun or Riviera Maya. They use corn a lot and their spices are fresh and pure not the packaged mixes like we have. I have been to Cancun two times, I love it there and I plan to return soon. We travel to Mexico/Cancun every year. If you go to Royal Resorts/Royal Carribean., there they know what gluten free is. The food and beverage mgr. takes very good care of me while we visit for several weeks. It is a time share, but anyone can go. It is not all inclusive. It is child friendly and safe and have a lot of families they come back every year. My wife and I spent our honeymoon at the Moon Palace resort in the Riviera Maya area last October. I didn't have any trouble at all finding food. Most of the meals were served buffet style and I usually found a variety of food I could eat. Moon Palace is a very large resort with several different restaurants to choose from, including Mexican, Italian, Oriental, Spanish, and a Grill near the pools. Breakfast was the most difficult so I ended up eating omelettes most of the time. By staying at Moon Palace we also had the opportunity to eat at other Palace Resort properties in Cancun, which not only saved on cost but helped ease our worries of accidental gluten ingestion. A couple other tips - the beach at Moon Palace isn't one of the pretty beaches you see in Cancun brochures. A reef deposits a lot of seaweed on shore. The resort does their best to clean it up every day, but most people didn't seem to swim in the ocean there. Instead, they have awesome pools where the guests gathered. If you want to swim in the ocean, you can always travel to one of the other Palace properties in Cancun which have picturesque beaches. Moon Palace also has a water purification system and provides bottled water to guests. I even used bottled water to brush my teeth. That can make a world of difference to those of us with sensitive digestive tracts. Moon Palace is divided into two sections, Punta Nizuc and Sunrise. We stayed at Sunrise, which appears to be newer and the buildings are a little further apart. Finally, Moon Palace sells timeshares like many of the resorts in the area. They will invite you to a champagne breakfast after you arrive where they will give the timeshare presentation. We didn't attend, but most of the people we talked with said it wasn't an aggressive sales situation and they received $100 in "Palace Bucks" to spend at the gift shops. My family stayed at the Copacabana in the Riveria Maya in April and was thrilled with the facility and service. I spoke to staff in advance then met with them personally upon arrival. A Manager named David had the banquet manager and chef join us and develop a menu/plan for the week. They made specially prepared items all week (we fended for ourselves for breakfast, but it was never a problem) and were glad to do it. There was never a sense of imposition. We tipped those directly involved handsomely at the end because they were accomodating us beyond the terms of an all-inclusive and did it so pleasantly. We're restless and never return to the same place twice, but this will be an exception! By the way, there are some great places to go off the reservation. They even packed a special lunch for us to take! I've been to Cancun and know that in general the people are really nice about that sort of thing. I did not stay in an all-inclusive. I would recommend checking the sites at tripadvisor.com and trip planning sites like expedia.com. There you could pick a few places that meet your needs and then call them and talk to some people. I might start with the Moon Palace since I've heard good things about it (other than diet) but not sure if they allow kids. *Support summarization of posts, reply to the SENDER not the CELIAC List*
