The Tulum Xtreme, my favorite tour in the Yukatan

I've tried several tours in the Cancun/ Riviera Maya area and have enjoyed them all but there is one that stands out from the others: The Tulum Xtreme tour provided by Aventuras Mayas.

The Riviera Maya is not only full of 5 star all-inclusive resorts, friendly people and white sanded beaches but also obtains jungle adventure tours, award winning reefs, historic Mayan ruins and refreshing cenotes. The Tulum Xtreme does an excellent job at capturing these highlights in one fun-fulfilled tour!

Duration: The tour last for about 7-8 hours from the time they pick you up from your hotel until they drop you back off.









What to bring: Comfortable clothes and footwear, water shoes, sunglasses and a hat, bathing suit, extra T-shirt, towel, sunscreen and mosquito repellent, extra cash.
The cash will be for pictures, tips and any souvenirs that you may want. They have a great photography team that capture some amazing shots and then inserts them onto a CD for you to purchase and take home with you.

While some travelers simply enjoying vegging out and being beach bums for their getaway there are others, like myself, who would also like to experience some adventure during their vacays. If you would like to adventure out on your upcoming trip to the Yucatan, be sure and check out Lomas Travel's website to explore your options and pre-book your tours. The site even has a Live Chat feature to help with any questions you may have. Again, the tour we talked about today is called Xtreme Tulum. ♥

I have some pictures and video footage of when my madre and I did this tour last Fall HERE. The highlight on the tour is 1 minute 30 seconds in by the way.


Hope you all have an extraordinary Holiday weekend!

COASTLINES ~ Land and Sea

There is currently an exhibit at the Dallas Museum of Art that causes people who have appreciation for the arts and/or passion for exploring the Globe to come together and celebrate their love for these common interests.

Coastlines: Images of Land Sea

It has inspired me to go through some of my favorite coastline pictures from the past couple of years and to stop and appreciate life for a moment.



Royal Tulum Resort ~ Tulum, Mexico



Secrets Sanctuary ~ Cap Cana, Dominican Republic




Four Seasons Resort Hawaii, Lana'i at Manele Bay



"Sky Massage" at the El Dorado Maroma ~ Quintana Roo, Mexico


Is there a coastline that you have dreamed of seeing but excuses like money, time or fear have stopped you??? Give me a ring... it is a lot closer within reach than you could possibly imagine. And you deserve it. ;-)

Catalonia Royal Tulum

The Catalonia Royal Tulum is one of my all-time favorite 4 star all-inclusive resorts. It is just so incredibly cute and has a lot to offer. The resort is located on one of the most beautiful beaches in the Caribbean, Xpu -Ha, which is in the heart of the lovely Riviera Maya. For those who love the beaches and bohemian town of Tulum, this may be a perfect fit for you.

This resort may also be perfect for someone who:

• Wants an adult only resort.
• Needs easy access to Wifi throughout the resort.
• Enjoys beach butler service.
• Looks forward to 24 hour room service.

The Catalonia Royal Tulum is a quaint, adults-only resort that is sure to capture your heart as it did mine.


XO,

Grand Palladium Resorts in the Rivera Maya

The Grand Palladium Resorts in the Riviera Maya would be perfect for those who are traveling in groups of 10 or more. They have a lot of variety, nightly entertainment and are experts when accommodating groups of any size. It would also be perfect for a family with small children looking for an all-inclusive that has a beautiful beach but is trying to stay within a certain budget. Another big perk, the kids club was stunning! The girls working in it were so happy and passionate about what they do and I don't about you but that is so extremely important to me. They even accept children as young as 1!

Even though they don't offer room service, the food in each restaurant was 2 thumbs up. Exceptionally delicious. :)

The spa is also a huge surprising highlight. The water circuit is impressive AND is included for all guests at no additional charge so we of course had to check that out one day after filming. :) Oh and it did not disappoint.

The 2 biggest heads up I must give are
1) It is HUGE. Shuttles are constantly running throughout the complex but there is no hiding the fact how big and spread out the resort is.
2) It is a little over an hour drive south from the Cancun airport.

They have the stay at 1, play at all concept so the options are endless. There are a total of 4 resorts and the names of them are:

Grand Palladium Riviera
Grand Palladium White Sands
Grand Palladium Colonial
Grand Palladium Kantenah

Many more resorts to share with you so stay tuned. ;)


Much love from Texas,

Car accident and heading to Me-he-Coe.

On Tuesday I was in my first ever car accident during 5 o'clock rush hour. While no one was seriously injured, my poor car took one hell of a beating. Let's hope she makes it through. I love her. And miss her.

On to more exciting news! My boss Cathi and I will be heading to the Riviera Maya tomorrow to tour some hotels. We will also be taking plenty of video footage so stay tuned for that. I will be flying from Dallas but Cathi will be flying from Mexico City. Why Mexico City you ask? Well, she was formally invited to attend a lunch/ meeting with the President of Mexico, Felipe Calderon along with the Secretary of Tourism. I'm excited to hear how it went!


Talk to you all soon! Adios!

A fabulous post from my wedding blog...

The bride and groom: Tifani and Russell

The photographers: Celina Gomez from Captivating Simplicity and her co-shooter for the weekend, Tanya Perez from Perez Photography.

The resort: Dreams Tulum

Tifani and Russell were truly a sweet and genuine couple to work with so I was beyond excited to hear they all had a wonderful time. Then when the ever-so-fabulous photog, Celina Gomez, shared the pictures with me I was even more in awe. Isn't the Dreams Tulum a picture-perfect location?? I'll never forget the first time I visited the Dreams Tulum... the colors, the food, the people, the authenticity and most of all ~ that enormous, beautiful beach! A big THANK YOU to Tifani and Celina for sharing the special day with us!

Just had to share these! To see more destination wedding deliciousness, head on over to my wedding blog.

Much love,
