Elefantes en México

May 31st, 2011 @ 6:11 pm by Mrs. Elephant

Hola Hive!! Mr. E and I just got back from our honeymoon in Mexico and it was AMAZING!!

With all of the anticipation leading up to the honeymoon it was safe to say that I was packed days before we left last Saturday. Mama E and Daddy E dropped us off bright and early at the airport (and watched little Gypsy for the week, thanks guys!) and after what seemed like forever in the American Airlines line (because I needed to change my passport number in their system) we were off!

We arrived at the resort, Excellence Playa Mujeres, before the 3 pm check in time but were happy to kill time with martinis and lunch above the pool with a view of the ocean.

Mr. E may have had a little bit of jet lag while waiting for our room buzzer to go off, but the room did not disappoint!

Love that he still has a drink in his hand

We opted for a 2 story room with a roof top terrace, and loved the views from both balconies!

This was our first time at an all inclusive hotel and it was so nice to be able to drink and eat whenever and whatever we liked (of course now that we’re back it’s time to get back to the gym).

We also enjoyed dinner on the beach one night. It was a little dark by the time the 3rd and 4th courses came out but it was still fun times.

Knowing Mr. E, I knew that he would get just a little bored with a whole week of relaxation so we did do a couple of fun activities, which I’ll share with you in the second half of our honeymoon recap!

Are you looking forward to trying new foods on your honeymoon?

Wow, lovely! I love all inclusives. We went to one a couple of years ago and one last year. The one we went to at Riviera Maya was so gorgeous. Looks like you guys had loads of fun and those food pics, drool drool drool :)

@SerenaSF: we thought it was very good! The only meal that we didn’t really enjoy was the lunch buffet at the Italian restaurant. Everything else was great!

Love the second floor private pool! And what a view! :] The hands-in-the-sand was so cool!

The creeper pool pic of Mr E was hilarious :oP
