“ Cloudy water problem - where just the omni? ”
Mar 08, 2007, 11:57 PM

I heard that there has been cloudy water in front of some of the resorts with seaweed, can you tell me exactly where this is, as we are primarily going to cancun to enjoy the best beach, swimming and drinks, we don't want cloudy sandy water with seaweed. Please tell us where this problem resides today, from what hotel to what hotel, or is it just the omni that has this problem>

The water if cloudy is due to high winds and strong currents, it is not exclusive to any particular beach just depends on the weather.

That whole area from the Royals to the end of the Oasis had rocks and waves when we were there until 3/3. The seaweed was more of an issue a low surf beaches like the Riu. It really did affect anything because if you felt it then you move a few feet left or right. The water was the usual amount of cloudiness.
