Mayakoba Hotel - Maya Riveria

This was a very nice hotel and we enjoyed ourselves!!! We stayed on the hotel property and enjoyed the sun and water. Our only excersion was to dinner one evening to nearby Playa Del Carmen. Because of the recession and the swine flu scare we had the place almost all to ourselves. We had many of the pools all to ourselves for hours at a time. We could also walk on the beach and only see several other people. (This part of Mexico has not had any flu reported, the media scare has destroyed the economy here with thousands of local workers being let go, it is truly sad). There were also canals that lead to the ocean on the grounds that added to the beauty. We were sad to leave.

Ruins at Chichen Itza - Mexico

We were so excited to see these ruins, one of the "Seven Wonders of the World". It was truly a amazing and inspiring experience. We were there at 8 am and had the site all to ourselves for several hours. We hired Victor to be our personal tour guide, he told and showed us things that made the grounds come alive. all I can say is WOW!!!!!!!!

Mayaland Bungalows

We stayed at this great Hotel in the middle of the jungle and right next to the Maya ruins. It was so beautiful just to look around the grounds. The jungle birds were so noisy that they woke us up at sunrise and kept going all day (sounded like a Tarzan movie). We could see some of the ruins through a door way of the main building. The food was Maya and very good. The staff also gave wonderful service. We were wishing that we had scheduled more time here. The words hot and humid just don't describe the weather!!!
