The Honeymoon!

November 2nd, 2009 @ 5:27 pm by Mrs. Frozen Yogurt

So guess who booked their honeymoon? The Fro Yos!

Originally we were going to go to Puerto Rico. I was excited about PR, but we couldn’t find a place within our budget that we really loved. So the search continued, only now with a wider range of beach locations. We talked about it for a while, and we decided on Mexico! I love that we are going to be on a plane for a pretty short time, and will still get to enjoy a beautiful beach.

So where in Mexico will we go? The Rivera Maya! There are amazing coral reefs, beaches and luxury hotels. We picked the Dreams Resort and Spa Hotel.

Oh, and how did we book this? We used bookit, which is my new favorite travel website. I got by far the best deals by using them.

I’m so excited!! I’ve spent a lot of time researching things to do and places to go and will start to brush up on my Spanish.

Have you ever been to Cancun/Riviera Maya? What are some things you love to do around there?

My husband and I went to Cozumel and to the Riviera Maya for our honeymoon. It was like paradise. Good choice!

For architectural stuff, we loved Chichen-Itza and Coba even more than the ever-lovely and easily-accessible Tulum. You can’t go wrong with any of them.

If you can go swimming in a cenote, do it. They are simply amazing.

Snorkeling is fantastic at Akumel. You have to buy their biodegradable sunscreen, and while it’s expensive, DO IT. I got fried and still bear the marks from wearing a coverup t-shirt instead of the sunscreen.

Xian-Kaan is a nature reserve just south of Tulum that has an area you can go canoeing and bird-watching. There are amazing shells since it’s a nature reserve, and the beach is not overrun with people like in other areas.

La Zebra beach club is a really great place to spend the afternoon if you’re in Tulum.

Hammered silver is one of the local specialties. Make sure you shop around and bargain, though. I bargained for this amazing cuff bracelet that I lost in O’Hare upon our return. Sad.

My FILs went to a resort on the Riviera Maya for their 25th anniversary and LOVED it. They pretty much just drank and partied the entire time (they’re really cool in-laws, I’m so lucky.) I’m sure you’ll have an amazing time :)

I think we are going to Riviera Maya as well! In June, of course… we picked Mexico because we are fairly active people and wanted a good mix of “doing things” and “not doing things”. : )

your resort looks amazing- i just emailed our travel agent to look in to it!

We just returned last week from our honeymoon to the Riviera Maya. We stayed at Secrets Maroma Beach and absolutely loved it! It’s very easy to get used to a life in which your most difficult decision is whether to go to the beach or to lounge by the pool all day. And knowing that whichever one you picked, there’d be somebody that came by frequently offering to get you another fruity rum concoction.

While we were there we booked an excursion to Isla Mujueres to play with dolphins and go snorkeling. It was a fabulous all-day, all-inclusive trip and we had such a great time. They had zip lines there that went over the gorgeous turquoise water, which I didn’t do because the first leg of the zip line series involved going over trees and dry land, and I seem to have this irrational fear of heights that prevents me from doing cool stuff like that. PM me if you’d like some more info (pricing, pics, etc.).

Whatever you decide to do (or not do) while you’re there, I’m sure you’ll have a fabulous time. You’d have to try hard to NOT enjoy yourselves when you’re surrounded by that much gorgeousness. :)

Wow, thanks girls! I will definitely look into all the awesome things you suggested!! We definitely wanted a good mix of doing, and not doing things, so I think we picked a good spot! I might be PMing a few of you as it gets closer!

We went to the Riviera Maya area in June and really enjoyed it. We were in a very small villia just down from the Dreams. I would agree with mariavvisa on Coba & the cenotes.

We also did an ATV tour which included a bat cave and time for swimming in a cenote, it was dusty but we had alot of fun. The only thing we weren’t really happy with was the catamaran excursion. It ended up being more of a party boat experience with really loud club music while sailing and watered down mixed drinks, which isn’t really our thing but we did enjoy the lunch they grilled on-board and the snorkeling…even if it was right in front of our villa :)

You can’t beat the entire area for some beautiful scenery and relaxation. You’ll have a wonderful time!

I was looking at the website and couldn’t really tell for sure, is it all inclusive (including food)?
