My Mexican Vacation

hey girls - back from Mexico for a couple days now ( ) but had a great time. I stayed at the Aventura Spa Palace in the Mayan Riviera and totally recommend it for anyone looking for an all-inclusive vacation.

The resort is very nice. Rooms are cozy with jacuzzi's for two and hammocks on the balcony. The service was wonderful. The food was pretty good too (6 restuarants). The crowd was good. A lot of Americans from all over the US and a good mix of couples in every age range. It is also adults only - which I never realized how much I loved. There were alot of honeymooners there too.

We sat back and relaxed. Eat, drink, tan. sleep late and play in the pool - perfect vacation. We had like 7 tours included in our pacakage but only did one - weren't looking for a touring type vacation.

Figured I'd mention it since it seems like a lot of people are looking for vacation ideas.

And the best nachos and guacamole!

Re: My Mexican Vacation

We went to the Riveria Maya for our honeymoon... stayed primarily in Tulum (not in an all-inclusive) and ran into a bunch of problems.

It was an experience... definitely not the romantic type of trip that i thought it would be, but it definitely was an adventure.

My advise to anyone going down that way is to take a trip into Cozumel... spend some time in Playa del Carmen and hang with the locals in Tulum... you'll have a great time (just as long as you don't stay in a bungalow on the beach)!

D - I just wanted to say thank you. I had Pete log in last night from his house just so that he could see your pictures.... It solidified everything! He is now I think just as excited as me! I think what really got him was the little bar on the wall

Re: My Mexican Vacation

7-11 - I used my travel agent who booked my honeymoon - she is in NYC - we almost booked online (cheaper than liberty travel and one other agent I spoke with) but then we called her and she came in a little cheaper and we like her a lot.

Thanks everyone - wish I was still in the sun...tan is already fading.....and I think we are never going to get sun here in NY.....

Marcela - I may have to join you in the tanning salon and I hardly ever do that !!!
