Made to measure in Mexico

Travellers fed up with pre-holiday diets can let it all hang out in Mexico's Freedom Paradise Hotel where the motto is 'live large - live free'.
The resort, on the Mexican Riviera Maya south of Cancun, prides itself on catering for the fuller figure.
Overweight guests can enjoy the luxury of extra-large sunbeds, king-size beds, bigger baths and doorways perfect for the larger frame.
The resort restaurants serve larger portions and the swimming pools have been adapted with gentle sloping sides for easier access. Director of the resort, Jurrian Klink, thinks overweight holidaymakers get a raw deal. 'Large people have problems on holiday. They face discrimination or they are not fully comfortable, especially in bathing suits, and there is a lack of facilities for them.
'We decided to offer a solution with somewhere they would feel comfortable' he continued.
