From Cancun to Cozumel
Posted on July 17, 2010 by Jeni Larson in Cancun, Caribbean, Chichen Itza, Cozumel, Featured, MexicoPossibly my new favorite city in Mexico, Cancun is definitely a place I would like to frequent. The beaches were true “white sand beaches” and not nearly as crowded as I had expected. The waters… if I didn’t know any better, I’d say someone photo shopped an image right on my sunglasses, creating multiple layers of perfect turquoise paired with pristine blue skies. Really, this entire trip was full of scenic surprises…

Itza chichen in chichen itza -…
Posted on June 13, 2010 by Jeni Larson in Cancun, Chichen Itza, MexicoItza Chichen in Chichen Itza – or maybe Itza Chicken…. driving 2.5 hours from Cancun to Chichen Itza to see Mayaland http://twitpic.com/1wj5i9 was a great idea!
As long as I can remember, I’ve wanted to see the pyramids at Chichen Itza. When I moved to Mexico, I remember being disappointed that the Yucatan was so far away. A day is possibly enough time to see the entire park, but I would say it is well worth it to book a room, or private villa at Mayaland hotel. A guide can be hired for a private tour of the ruins at the front desk. $60 an hour, and the tour runs around 2.5 to 3 hours.

Royal Villas Resort in Mazatlan
Posted on April 8, 2008 by Jeni Larson in Hotels, MazatlanFor our 3 days in Mazatlan, we stayed at the Royal Villas Resort. We really enjoyed our stay here. The resort itself was upscale, very comfortable and we had a great time with one small exception that will possibly keep us from staying there again. We had an accidental charge of $600 USD on our debit card- a charge that was apparently intended to be a “hold” rather than a charge and the only solution offered was, “we’ll deposit the money back into your account in about 1 to 3 months.” So that sucked.

Playa del Coco – Casa Manana near San Blas Mexico
Posted on April 7, 2008 by Jeni Larson in Hotels, San Blas MexicoA little soon for a hotel stop, but we didn’t care- less than 3 hours north of Puerto Vallarta, we had reservations at Casa Manana, a boutique hotel on Playa del Coco just outside of San Blas. This hotel was very cute with beautiful grounds and a charming pool. The restaurant on site had friendly servers and great food, made even better since you’re sitting just a few feet from crashing waves of the ocean. Directly in front of the hotel, the beach has large round stones covering most of the beach- not someplace you want to walk barefoot- there are tons of tide pools on this beach and we had a great time climbing out over the rocks, seeing fish and sea creatures while trying to avoid the occasional wave that was tall enough to splash us. Just to the right of the hotel, the rocks stop and there is a long stretch of sandy beach that was perfect for early morning exercise and sunbathing.
