IMG_0882I have been to Mexico a few times and each time I have been to the Riviera Maya, which is about 45 minutes to an hour from Cancun. I think that this area of Mexico is absolutely gorgeous. The Riviera Maya is more calm and relaxing than Cancun can be. Mexico has a bad reputation for not always being safe, but if your smart then it is perfectly fine.

IMG_0856While in Mexico we stay at the Iberostar Paraíso Lindo, but there are seven different Iberostar resorts to stay at. Some are only 18 and over but the rest are family friendly. The resort was really nice and offers a lot to do. It is an all-inclusive resort, which is also good. The resort has two nightclubs, multiple pools including a lazy river. I would recommend booking reservations at the restaurants before going because it books up quickly.

IMG_0799We went an a few excursions while in Mexico. I went alone with two of my friends to go scuba diving, no need to be certified they give you a little class. When doing excursions from the hotel they are perfectly safe so you can let teens go off on there own.   We also went to Tulum, which is an ancient Mayan civilization. This was beyond the coolest thing I saw while in Mexico, it is unbelievable that these pyramids were built without modern technology.

  1. I have yet to visit Mexico, although I hope to visit one day. I have heard amazing stories from friends about the Mayan civilization and I hope to visit some day. You mentioned the lack of safety in Mexico which is true, many places can be dangerous. Although, Cancun is probably the safest place to visit and you said you have visited Mexico a few times so you know which places to avoid. If I go to Mexico I would like to have someone with me who has been there before, it will make the experience more fun and safe.

  2. I’ve never been to Mexico either, but I would love to go! Your pictures are beautiful and they definitely make me want to go even more! I’m not too worried about safety, only because I’ve traveled a lot and I’m a pretty smart traveler. Being a young girl, I also wouldn’t go places by myself, just to be extra safe. Hopefully one day I’ll get to venture off into Mexico, regardless of where I end up staying, but if I do get to go I will definitely look at the places you mentioned!

  3. I love reading about your travel experiences and looking at the accompanying photos. I actually won a trip to one of those Iberostar resorts you described above – maybe even the one you described. It sounds familiar. However, we couldn’t take the trip because I was not allowed out of the country while pregnant with Blake. I hope we can go back someday. The Costa Rica trip sounded great too!
