Another batch of trip reports from the Riviera Maya…
Marsha and Adam Smith painted a serene picture of a recent trip to Cabañas Ana y Jose in Tulum to attend a friend’s wedding.
"The hotel was beautiful (although the restaurant was a little expensive)," Marsha wrote, "but otherwise we really enjoyed our stay there… the beach, the friendly staff, towel art… and best of all, our friends who we don’t see often."
A short distance further south, Jenn saw orange at Amansala, the self styled "bikini boot camp and eco chic resort".
"They had fixed almost everything [by January 3rd] Jenn emailed.
Elsewhere on this blog I’ve written that Wilma actually gifted a few more metres of talcum-white sand to the beaches around Tulum. Still not convinced? Check out these dreamscapes taken by the LocoGringo.com team just two weeks after the October hurricane.
Meanwhile, Jon Chew and family stayed at the Hotel Ojo de Agua in Puerto Morelos from January 23rd to February 3rd. Jon reports that "it was business as usual, including the restaurant and pool." This was good to hear, as the hotel was one of many in the fishing town to suffer a lot of hurricane damage.
"e" pictured the Viva Wyndham Maya resort at Playacar (Playa del Carmen) during her New Year trip.
Finally, I couldn’t resist posting journalist Jon Clark’s jaw-dropping photo (that’s the one above) taken at Playa del Carmen on February 15th. Thanks, Jon.
