As many may know, I am a travel agent and I have been in the travel industry for years. I have worked for the airline industry as well as the hotel industry. I thought that I knew so much about the travel industry prior to becoming an agent, but LORD WAS I WRONG.

*Hotel Review* TRS CORAL, Costa Mujeres, Mexico

TRS CORAL

I had the pleasure of staying at the newest location of TRS properties, TRS Coral in Costa Mujeres, MX. TRS is a brand of hotels under the umbrella of Grand Palladium Hotel and Resorts. TRS stands for the The Royal Suites. It’s an adults only resort with access to the family resort Grand Palladium. TRS has multiple properties  located in Mexico as well as Dominican Republic.

Delayed flight faceThe day arrives and my flight is delayed for weather (SMH). Immediately all my plans went out the window. As I was now arriving a hour and half later than originally plan.

This is where things started to get interesting.
