Our Honeymoon Recap!

Well, I can't believe it's been over a month since we got back from our amazing honeymoon and I know that if I don't get this post out, it'll never get done :)

We stayed at the Excellence Playa Mujeres Mexico. This is a top-notch, five-star resort for sure! We had never been to an all-inclusive before and so we did our research before deciding to go, and we couldn't have picked a nicer place!

Here I am, fresh off the plane and waiting for our room! 

My first drink of vacation -- a margarita of course :) 

Hubby's first drink -- a very strong Long Island!

The resort had eight restaurants and a gazillion bars. Everywhere you turned, there was a place to get a drink. And I'm talking ahhhh-mazing drinks. Some of my favorites from the week were a flaming Excellence coffee and a yummy frozen banana-chocolate-mudslide concoction. Keith enjoyed the Icebergs, a mix of frozen margarita and corona. I swear we gained so much weight just from the drinks!

Our room was pretty fantastic. We opted for a swim-out suite, so we were located on the first floor and had direct access to the pool in front of our building. The first few days, hardly anyone used the pool so it felt like our own personal one :)

Bathroom with separate shower. The bathrooms were open to the main living space though, which we thought was a little strange and took some getting used to!

Bed! It faced the sliding doors looking over the pool. There was also a huge couch, coffee table, desk and dresser. We could have lived there. 

Ahh this was bliss. The bed on our patio was so comfortable! We had our own lounge chairs as well. 

Our separate jacuzzi tub. The windows opened so you could relax and get a nice breeze. 

Fully stocked mini-bar! 

Good Morning Mexico! How's this for a view?? 

Me in my happy place. I could have laid like that for hours. 

This was taken our last night there, the sun had just peeked through the clouds and it was a beautiful evening.

Most mornings we enjoyed room service on our back patio, there was no need to go anywhere else when we had this!

The main pool. There was a swim-up bar and the water was just the perfect temperature. When not at the pool by our room, this is where we were :)

Oh the hammocks....these were seriously genius. We spent a solid morning laying over the water, dozing and soaking in the sunshine. 

Ready for dinner at Spice. Loved this dress from Express!

My bright pants make another appearance -- they are so comfy! Don't mind him creeping in the background :) 

This night we ate at Basmati, my first time with Indian food and it was out of this world! Sequin aztec skirt from Express and silky top from H&M

Tanned (ok a little sunburnt) and happy! <3

On the catamaran coming back from Isla Mujeres! 

For dear hubby, no vacation is complete without at least one round of golf! He played, I bombed around the course in the cart having a blast! 

Dinner the first night at Agave...hands down the best mexican food ever! 

The beach! To be honest, we didn't spend alot of time here. It was really windy (which I guess is typical of Mexico in January) and the water was really rough too. It was still beautiful!

Last photo :( We were sitting outside waiting for our car to pick us up. Love how tanned I was ! 

So there you have it....a week of photos in one, quick blogpost! :)

And while we loved our resort so much, we probably won't be back .... truthfully, I'd like to see the world and having crossed Mexico off our list, it's time to move on to another location! We're looking forward to spending an early one-year anniversary trip at Couples Swept Away, Negril Jamaica in July!!!
