A Day In The Lalz

Riviera Maya – Day 5

January 16, 2014

I have a slight obsession with sunrise & sunsets. Therefore I had to wake up early one morning and watch the sunrise. It was very peaceful and extraordinary to watch the sunrise on the beach. 


We spent our last afternoon in Mexico being beach bums and relaxing.

Later we walked over to the Hacienda at our resort to do some last minute shopping. They had some interesting and rather unique souvenirs! 



The resort went all out for the Christmas Eve dinner!! There was so much food I didn’t know where to begin!



Afterward we attended the Christmas Show at the Hacienda. There was some lip synching, a little latin gangnam style dance, and lots of dancing! Very entertaining! 

I had a fabulous time vacationing in the Riviera Maya! A great location to soak up some sun, relax, see some history, and have a ton of fun!!

Riviera Maya – Day 4

January 15, 2014

First thing in the morning we checked out the Dolphin show at our resort. They offer packages to swim with dolphins and be a trainer for a day. It was fun seeing the dolphins perform all their tricks. However after watching the CNN film Blackfish the whole dolphins, whales, and animals in captivity thing doesn’t sit well with me.

After the dolphin show we soaked up some sun on the beach and got out tan on!

In the afternoon we drove to Playa Del Carmen to do some shopping on Fifth Avenue also known as Avenida Cinco. We were able to get all of our souvenir shopping done in two hours. Playa del Carmen is a major party scene and it was super busy and the streets were filled with interesting characters. 

We had dinner at Don Pablo at our resort. This restaurant was by far my favorite! The food was spectacular!!! I had a fig salad, cream of celery soup, and roasted gulf sea bass fillet. Everything was divine!

Riviera Maya – Day 2

January 13, 2014

Day two started off with exploring the Tulum Ruins. It is very doable on your own – you don’t need to book a tour. Since we had car we drove to the ruins from our hotel. It was about a 20 minute drive.

The Tulum ruins are unique because it is situated on a cliff facing the Caribbean Sea. It was absolutely stunning!!


Afterward we went to Coba to see the Coba Ruins. The ruins were in a dense forest area. They were nice however they were not as impressive as the Tulum ruins. 


For dinner we went to Mediterràneo Restaurant at our resort. We had delicious seafood and went all out at the dessert buffet! 

Check back again tomorrow and I will be sharing all the details of my trip this week!

Riviera Maya

January 1, 2014

Happy 2014!!! I hope everyone had a fun and safe time celebrating and ringing in the New Year!

My sister and I spent a lovely week vacationing in Mexico over Christmas vacation. We traveled to the Riviera Maya which is south of Cancun for 6 nights. Riviera Maya is the complete opposite of the party scene in Cancun. It is peaceful and extremely relaxing! 

We stayed at the Grand Bahia Principe Tulum Resort. The resort was wonderful! It was my first experience at an all inclusive resort and it was fabulous! Now I understand the appeal! Grand Bahia Principe consists of four resorts on its complex – Tulum, Akumal, Coba, and Sian Ka’an. We booked our stay at the Tulum resort however we had access to all the resorts during your stay.
