"Life's a Beach"

We adore living in Playa del Carmen! When we first visited the Riviera Maya in 2004, we immediately fell in love with not just the spectacular surroundings but the community as well. Over the past 6 years, we have had the pleasure of meeting hundreds of people who, like us, love Playa del Carmen and have either chosen this area as a home or ...

It was a beautiful day today and we wanted to make the most of it. We stopped in for a quick breakfast at BioMaya and then set off to visit the Mayan Museum, Na Bolom.  I had heard this was a must see but really had no idea what to expect. Located a good distance from our hotel, we chose to cab it, arriving before noon just as the city was ...

On day seven of our adventure it was the girls turn to sleep in. Rob and Cole had breakfast at the organic coffee shop, BioMaya, right next door to our hotel and then ventured over to the zocalo to watch the vendors setting up for the day. Birdie and I woke up late and I took advantage of the internet in our room, a welcomed first, to catch up ...

This morning in San Cristobal was cloudy and quite cool. We were all well rested and ready to go so we hustled into the bright courtyard for breakfast. Finally able to access the internet, we had a lot of email to catch up on and pictures to upload. The weather being what it was, I marked off a few points of interest on our handy tourist map ...

After another fine breakfast in the jungle restaurant of Don Mucho, we packed up and started off on the long drive south to San Cristobal. Having already experienced a portion of what this road would bring us, no one was particularly looking forward to this leg of the journey.

In an effort to not wear everyone out, we kept Day 4 of our itinerary was fairly low key. After a late breakfast across the street at Don Mucho, we reserved our luxury accommodations for one more night and then drove 60 kilometers south to the waterfalls of Aguas Azules. Breakfast at Don Mucho Cool fountain in the jungle that allegedly ...

We awoke on day 3 of our adventure in Palenque on the edge of the biosphere. My plan had been to celebrate Cole’s 7th birthday with a fun trip to Aguas Azules and the magnificent waterfalls at Misol Ha. The weather cloudy, rainy and a chilly 54 degrees dictated otherwise. We had a great breakfast at Don Mucho and then headed off to see the ...
