Riviera Maya - Enjoying Luxury and Adventures in the Caribbean

To be able to fund all of our adventures, having full-time jobs is a must. This isn't so bad, however, when our jobs provide an amazing trip, like this past week in Mexico. Mike was number 3 nationwide in his company for a contest and won us an all expense paid trip to the Riviera Maya!! This was our second time to this region of Mexico, however this time we did all new activities and stayed in the most amazing resort either of us have ever seen!

Day1:

Upon check-in at the Rosewood Mayakoba, we were picked up by boat and then dropped off at our private dock, that is part of our suite. There, our butler greeted us with fresh fruit and drinks before giving us a tour of our suite.

Loved the giant bathtub in our suite!

We had our own private jacuzzi overlooking a beautiful natural lagoon. The lagoon was full of turtles, crocodiles, and exotic fish and birds!

Enjoying pina coladas at the beach

Meeting up with some friends

Day2:

Our first adventure was taking a ferry over to the island of Cozumel to go snorkeling. Although a bit touristy, Cozumel was gorgeous and we were able to have some great snorkeling. We snorkeled at our own private beach and enjoyed this beautiful island. 

At night back at our resort in Playa Del Carmen we had a mexican version of a luau and watched an awesome fire show.

Day 3:
We went to Xplor, a theme park down the road from our hotel that offered zip lines, swimming and rafting under caves and ATV riding. It was awesome and is recommended for anyone who travels to the Cancun area. 

That night we had the nicest dinner ever. We went on a double date with our friends, Kristin and Sean DeWitt, and had a 4 course meal including lobster and filet mignon that was one of the best we had both ever had. It was also the first time we had ever tried caviar. It was fun to try fancy stuff since we are used to low maintenance and simplicity.

Day4:
Before heading back home, we just relaxed and enjoyed the beautiful Caribbean Sea. Swimming, Stand Up Paddling and hanging out at the pool. Adios!!
