It was truly an amazing two weeks. All along we knew we really wanted to spend two weeks by turquoise waters, so budget-wise Mexico was the best option for us. We did a lot of research and fell in love with two resorts. Being the indecisive people we are, we opted to spend one week at each! The first one, <a href="http://www.karismahotels.com/resort/el-dorado-casitas-royale-karisma" target="_blank">El Dorado Casitas Royale</a>, was out-of-this-world. It was secluded and private, so green and lush, and most importantly...<span style="font-style: italic;">entirely</span> romantic. We had a fabulous casita suite right by the beach with an incredible view. So many amenities, my favorite being the open-air, outdoor shower! We spent our days lounging on beach beds, being spoiled by the beach butlers, and playing in the ocean. The food here was fit for a king. It was all-inclusive, but all 7 restaurants were gourmet. It was seriously impressive (and seriously yummy!) We even had a private dinner on the beach our last night there! We did head out one day to go snorkeling off <a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=maroma+beach&hl=en&prmd=ivns&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=f2bNTeTPNsSltwes35X_DQ&ved=0CHAQsAQ&biw=1172&bih=775" target="_blank">Maroma Beach</a>, my first time snorkeling, which was super fun. (Although I couldn't get the Little Mermaid soundtrack out of my head the entire time!) And another day we toured the Mayan ruins at <a href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&biw=1172&bih=775&tbm=isch&sa=1&q=tulum&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=" target="_blank">Tulum</a>. Very fascinating stuff, but honestly the beach there (2nd & last pic above) was one of the most breathtaking things I've ever seen...I wish you guys could have seen it!!<br /><br />The second week we spent at <a href="http://www.palaceresorts.com/resorts/sunpalace" target="_blank">Sun Palace</a>. We chose this place primarily because of the beach. Another all-inclusive, adults only resort, but not quite as luxurious or private as the first. We loved the more modern, sleek vibe though, and the beach here was <span style="font-style: italic;">fantastic</span>...soft white sand, crisp clear turquoise water. The view from our room made it seem like we were on a cruise ship. It was a dream! This place was cool too because they give you a big chunk of change for "resort credit" that you can use for all sorts of things. We took a trip to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chichen_Itza" target="_blank">Chichen Itza</a> with part of it, then had upgraded wine with the rest. (Not sure I'd be willing to spend $175 for a bottle of champagne otherwise!) The highlight of this week, maybe the whole two weeks, was the day we spent on <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isla_Mujeres" target="_blank">Isla Mujeres</a>. We took the ferry over and just walked around, poked in the shops and took photos. After almost passing out from being so stink'n hot, we rented a moped and just drove around the colorful little island. I took about a million photos, the buildings above were from here (and <a href="http://www.houseofturquoise.com/2011/05/back-from-mexico.html">that one</a> from the other day I already showed you). It was just so, so cool. We actually took over 1300 photos the entire trip, so I made a collage below with some non-turquoise highlights. I hope you enjoy! :)<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://cptnrin.smugmug.com/photos/i-C5Dj63S/0/O/i-C5Dj63S.jpg" /></div><br />Have a wonderful weekend everyone!!!
