The ruins at Tulum

Apologies for the long layoff on content! Over the past couple of weeks, I had been pretty wrapped up at work with an offsite conference as well as trying to do as much as possible in advance of a much-anticipated week off. Hence this post…

This past week, I took the opportunity to travel to Mexico with my significant other (SO). It was a wonderful time and I want to take some space on the blog over the next few weeks to document some of the great places we went and also offer some of my own lessons learned, tips, tricks, and other notes. Prior to departing, we found ourselves struggling to find many independent blogs or articles that reviewed a lot of the places we wanted to go (searching reviews from TripAdvisor and Booking.com and the likes can be incredibly mind-numbing). So we decided to come back and document as much as we could in the hopes that one day, someone may profit from our experience. Or – if not – we could at least have the documented information to lean on when we plan our next getaway to Riviera Maya.

A couple of the awesome places we visited that I will be sharing more information about and photos from in the coming weeks:

  • Playa Del Carmen
    • Hotel: Mahekal
    • Dining: Mahekal, Paxche,
    • Nightlife/Entertainment: Fifth Avenue (“Avenida 5”), Kitxen
  • Tulum
    • Hotels: Rosa del Viento, Livetulum
    • Dining: Casa Jaguar, Casa Banana, Posada Margherita, MamaMuu, Cetli
    • Nightlife/Entertainment: Gitano, Manuel’s, 2×99 Happy Hour
    • Sightseeing: Tulum Ruins, Dos Ojos Cenote

Again, sorry for the hiatus and stay tuned for more to come… I promise I’ll try to tie it back in to the blog’s overarching theme somehow or another.

Til Next Time,

Michael
