I visited Xcaret for the first time and spent the entire day inside the park. I originally expected Xcaret to be a Mayan focused theme park, a Mayan Disneyland per se, but it was more, much more. I toured the park and experienced up-close wildlife encounters, Mexican cultural exhibits, an amazing wine cellar (showcasing Mexican […]

Tulum – the Mayan Beach at Equinox
Equinox. Whether spring or fall I often find myself thinking of the knowledge found inside the Mayan Culture. And one day I’d like to be in the Riviera Maya for the feather serpent of light in Chichen Itza on an Equinox. The days proved special or important in numerous cultures through history, I’d still like […]
Postcard-Quenching My Thirst for Tequila
Although Mexico offers many local spirits worth sipping, no trip south of the border is complete with out a taste of Tequila. A big thirst quenching taste. And on a a recent visit to the Riviera Maya I received more than my taste. During my stay at Hacienda Tres Rios, I attended a Tequila tasting […]
Sunset Sunday – A Tulum Sunrise for the New Era in the Mayan World
The sun rose on December 21st; the world didn’t end. Some feared the end with the “end” of the Mayan Calendar in 2012, but others welcomed it as a new era began. So to celebrate, honor, and welcome this shift in time, I wanted to share a rare (for me) sunrise (instead of a sunset) […]

The Timeshare Option – Should You Buy a Timeshare?
The more I travel to Mexico, the more I notice the timeshare or vacation ownership option continues to be popular. So on one trip I decided to ask myself, “Should I buy a timeshare?” I understand the basic concept. One purchases “time,” a set number of days (one week or two) at a resort (or […]
Where to Stay – Hacienda Tres Rios, Riviera Maya, Mexico
The world’s top resorts and resort brands line the beaches of the Riviera Maya. I know I toured many. And I plan to stay at a few on my next trips to the region especially as Stay Luxurious takes off next year. But even so, I am sure I will always recommend Hacienda Tres Rios […]
Sunset Sunday – Nichupte Lagoon, Cancun, Mexico
Cancun is famous for its resorts, beaches and fiestas but it doesn’t often conjure images of beautiful sunsets. Arianna, a fan of sunsets herself, told me they are beautiful, but you need to look beyond the beach. I met Arianna through twitter and asked her if she would share what beauty she discovered. She selected […]
