Win an all-inclusive luxury beach holiday to Mexico
Enjoy a fortnight’s holiday for four in a fabulous Cancun beach resort courtesy of Funway Holidays, Barcel! Tucancun Beach and Virgin Atlantic
This month, one lucky Waitrose Kitchen reader and three companions will win a trip to Mexico’s top tourist destination – Cancun on the Yucatan peninsula. The winners will fly from London with Virgin Atlantic to enjoy a two-week stay at the Barcel! Tucancun Beach resort.
They will wake each morning in two of the hotel’s recently renovated superior rooms, which are decorated in contemporary Mexican style and have a spacious sea-view terrace. Eating, drinking and entertainment are all included, with a choice of buffet and à la carte dining in four restaurants, drinks at five bars, daily activities and nightly shows. Also included are non-motorised water sports at AquaWorld marina and all taxes and gratuities.
The Barcel! Tucancun Beach is encircled by the warm turquoise waters of the Caribbean. The resort offers something for everyone, from guests who love dancing the night away, to those who prefer a tranquil holiday simply soaking up the sun.
The winner and their guests can take part in the Barcel! Tucancun Beach resort’s many activities, including tennis, water sports and aqua-aerobics. They’ll also enjoy swimming in one of the hotel’s three gorgeous pools and strolling along the white-sand beach, which is lapped by the crystalline Caribbean Sea.
Flights are courtesy of Virgin Atlantic, which has a new twice-weekly service from Gatwick to Cancun from 12 June 2012. Visit virgin-atlantic.com for more information
For further hotel details, visit barcelo.com. Funway Holidays offers a great range of value-for-money, tailor-made holidays to hand-picked destinations including North America, the Caribbean, the Far East, Mexico, Canada and the Middle East.

Good Luck!
