Honeymoon Part 2

Riviera Maya

So we left behind our beloved Cozumel, jumped back on the ferry, and headed over to Riviera Maya.  We stayed at another all-inclusive adults only resort.  This place was HUGE compared to Cozumel.  Cozumel had about 80 suites and The El Dorado Royale had about 750!  It had like 9 restaurants, 10 pools....it was crazy!

This was a view from the lobby of the resort.  No way could you see all of it in one picture like you could have at the resort in Cozumel

Our room here was also quite amazing.  We did not do the swim up suite here but we did have an ocean view jacuzzi suite!

Our jacuzzi!

Our wonderful bed! It was coooommmmmfy!

View from our balcony.  This was the activity pool.  We played water volleyball and Mark dominated on Water Polo...

While in Riviera Maya we did not do as much as we did in Cozumel (I think we were a little depressed to be leaving such an awesome place and awesome people), but we did manage to get in a couple things!  We did a couples massage.  It was called the Romantic Journey.  We each got an 80 minute massage followed by a 20 minute facial.  Mark does not like facials so he was going to get a full body exfoliation, needless to say, they messed up and I got the exfoliation and Mark got the facial.  Right when the ladies left after we were done, we just looked at each other and started cracking up.  Mark looked like his face had a pound of butter on it, with his hair all sticking up, and I have exfoliation all over my body. It was quite funny.

We also went on an excursion. It was called XPLOR.  We did zip lining through the trees, about an hours worth...it was crazy!  If Mark wasnt there, I would have stopped after the first zipline because I was so freaked out, but I kept going for him :)  We rode ATV's and did some underground river swimming.  It was pretty crazy.  It was an awesome experience but we were exhausted afterwards!

Okay Okay...go ahead and laugh....we both look like we are special people here!  They make you wear a helmet throughout the facility no matter what you are doing.  It was caves full of stalactacites!

Inside XPLOR, the whole thing is underground.  You zipline right through that waterfall there!

To end our awesome honeymoon we enjoyed a candlelight dinner on the beach.  Our travel agent (Barb) gave us vouchers for a free candlelight dinner! Or else it would have been 140.00!  It was calm and peaceful and it was a great end to our trip!

Menu, winelist, and view of the ocean!

Ring shot once again!

Happy Honeymoon to us!

By the time our honeymoon ended we were excited to go home!  We ate way to much, relax too often, and were ready to get back into the swing of being husband and wife! (You can see in the last pic we looked like we gained about 15 pounds! haha)  Overall, it was a great honeymoon and well worth every penny :)
