Mexico Recap…
I’m finally getting around to going through pictures from our Mexican vacation we took a couple weeks ago. We had such a great time! The weather didn’t always cooperate for us - but when you’re in Mexico at all inclusive resorts does it really matter?!
The first three days of our trip was spent in Cancun. We stayed at a resort in the bustling and touristy hotel zone. This was our great view from our room of the lagoon and ocean…
The lagoon in the hotel was home to six dolphins. Each morning we woke up to see these guys splashing around and performing tricks with guests…
From Cancun, we rented a car and headed to Chichen Itza and made it just in time for the nightly light show at the ruins…
Our hotel at Chichen Itza was amazing, you could see ruins from our hallway!
We also loved the feel of the hotel, it was a Spanish/Moroccan theme and included lots of nature around the grounds - like peacocks just roaming around begging for a little bite of your taco…
We had a great time exploring the ruins at Chichen Itza with our fantastic tour guide Jorge, who was happy to also be our personal photag…
We left Chichen Itza to drive to Playa del Carmen, and stopped at a gorgeous cenote in Dzitnup along the way…
Playa del Carmen was a zoo! I’ve never seen a beach so crowded at all hours, there were always multiple huge beach parties going on…
After spending New Year’s in Playa del Carmen, we headed out to Cozumel on a very, very rocky ferry. The ferry ride was quite treacherous, but we were rewarded with our gorgeous room in Cozumel complete with a swim-up terrace…
We ventured around the main town in Cozumel, San Miguel, and took lots of cheesy tourist pictures…
We even went for a paraglide ride! The view of the crystal clear water around Cozumel was amazing…
We enjoyed snorkeling with lots of fish right off the hotel’s dock! When we saw this stingray, we decided it was time to get out of the water and watch him safely from the dock…
After our unpleasant ferry ride to Cozumel, we opted to take a cute little plane back to Cancun instead of trying the ferry again. The plane only held about 20 people and looked liked a flying minivan! I loved the view as we left Cozumel…
