» Cancun Videos http://blogcancun.com A personal view of an English full time webmaster living in Cancun, Mexico Mon, 14 Dec 2009 16:06:28 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7.1 en hourly 1 Cancun before and after videos http://blogcancun.com/2007/08/24/cancun-before-and-after-videos/ http://blogcancun.com/2007/08/24/cancun-before-and-after-videos/#comments Sat, 25 Aug 2007 00:54:05 +0000 Steve http://blogcancun.com/2007/08/24/cancun-before-and-after-videos/ Dean has come and gone and to be honest it was nothing worse than the storms we get here every month or two. Sat there waiting for something to happen and it didnt, it hardly even rained. The new blog we ran though was an oustanding success - around 120,000 unique vistors in less than a week including 58,000+ on Tuesday. It also attracted widespread press interest and I ended up doing 3 interviews, one for the tv and two for the radio.

The videos below I took 12 hours either side of the hurricane and show that Cancun has not really been affected at all.

The beach condition videos were taken at Playa Marlin located near to the Tucancun resort and Villas Marlin, behind Kukulcan Plaza.I need to get back to the beach and see how things are now the seas have calmed, but I suspect there hasnt been that much damage to the beaches.

It’s so much easier to use than our old one that ran with tape.
Jannet has developed quite a skill at making montages of video clips, and is in the process of producing several different ones for us to promote our cancuncare website with.

This is the first one Jannet’s made which features our Isla Mujeres booze cruise.

The cruise we do is a private hire of a catamaran and we sail over to Isla Mujeres. It’s open bar all day, lunch included and we normally do a golf cart convoy of the island, I think the most carts we ever had at once was 9. We’ve held about 15 of these cruises so far this year and averaged around 25 people each trip, so almost 400 people have come along.

It’s always a great feeling when you’re looking out of the window after a long flight and you see the jungle, then suddenly you’ve landed and your vacation in Cancun really can get started at last.

The first video is a pan across the beach at Playa Delfines with a view of the stage where some sexy dancers were performing.

The second video is a longer clip of the latin dancing. According to the newspaper, they are still assessing the success of the event and whether they may hold another event next year.

Officials were expecting 30,000 people to attend and the party would extend along thirteen miles of beach. Stretching from Punta Nizuc to Playa Delfines there were 3 main centres. We visited the main party event at Playa Delfines on Friday, a family friendly event with no alcohol allowed, we were greeted by hundreds of people enjoying the Cancun sun.

I have 5 videos to post the first one is above and you can see the second by following the continuation link, apologies that the quality is not all that (and for my big thumb on the second video!). I’ll have to use my digicam next time instead of the movie function of the stills camera. The other three will be posted in a day or twos time.

With kids inflatables, a stage hosting live bands and silly games (male and female sexy dancing when we were there), volleyball and soccer tournaments and baby turtle releases (which we missed) it was a fun few hours out, although I’m not sure we could have enjoyed it for longer than that. Afterwards we went to the beach by Fat Tuesday and paid a very reasonable 100 pesos for a bucket of 6 beers on the beach.

As you can see it’s spectacular and shows just a little of what the amazing atmosphere is like at one of the top nightclubs in Cancun.

There are thousand of amateur video clips of Cancun out there that are permitted to be reproduced and this is the ideal medium for them to be shared, so I’ll be adding more Cancun video clips regularly. I’ll also be taking some video to add to the blog myself.
