How Many Days? 6
Food - How Much? 15 dollars/meal
Hotel - How Much? -
Overall Experience was... INCREDIBLE, A DREAM!
Ok, let's be honest, I never thought I would end up in Cancun one day... but...
how exactly did it happen?
Well, I got a phone call from my boyfriend saying that he had something to tell me
(I was like... here we go... hahaha), but I would not have guessed what he was about to tell me, he told me he was one of the employees of the year in his job and as a prize he got a trip to Cancun with everything included (first reaction: WOW Congrats, newest single guy hahaha, just messing, I was not such a bitch) then he completed saying... "and I can bring someone with me, do you wanna join me?" I was "WHATTTT? Stop joking, don’t mess with me!" but yeah, it was true!
Many people might think "Such a lucky girl!" Actually I am...but my life was not only made with surprise calls. The 12 months leading up to the phone call were very hard for me. Many things had affected me, I had been feeling very sick waiting to go home to get a surgery done, waiting for my Italian citizenship process that took a year longer than I expected to finally be able to travel freely in Europe, also I was over 2 years without seeing my family and many other things life throws at us unexpectedly.
This trip happened exactly after I became I Italian Citizen, it was booked in 2 months ahead, right after being back from Brazil, so I enjoyed Cancun after visiting my family and looking after my health, JUST PERFECT! That was a new beginning... past staying behind, just kept the experiences from the lessons, but let's go back to the good stuff now cause I definitely don’t wanna be here writing how bad my life was one stage to people say "oh, poor you", my intention is always been transparent, showing that things can be very bad one day, but it will pass... tomorrow will be better, just do your best, keep strong and focused and DON'T GIVE UP!

Where did I stay in Cancun?
I don’t need to say that wake up with this view for 4 days was deadly, do I? I have a passion about balcony in hotel rooms, but it is not something difficult for a simple human being fall in love, is it?
All of the rooms face the ocean, they are very spacious and super clean.
The place was absolutely fantastic and the staff could not do enough for you.
The pools are amazing and the beach and ocean are unreal! This was an all inclusive resort so we paid for absolutely nothing (except tips, of course) room service was apart of the deal, cabanas EVERYTHING.
If I was gonna describe every detail that impressed me here... I would stay for too long haha so you can check the website if you wanna know more:
First time I came to see the pool area I had to go back to the room and stay there for a couple of hours to calm myself down, I think I had a sort of tachycardia... I have never seen something so massive and well structured in my life before, and I realized that time everything that had happened in the last months were completely gone, it was officially a new beginning...
AHHHH THE BREAKFAST....
The area was crazy (I have never seen so many options in my entire life), we had options from many countries to choose from, fruits from different parts of the world, many Chefs just waiting for your order to prepare everything in front of your eyes.
I can definitely say I enjoyed the breakfast, guess what I was doing?
hahaha Well, I was having breakfast twice, as I could not sleep properly (kinda jet lag disorder I suppose), I was leaving my boyfriend sleeping in the room around 6 a.m. every morning, watching the sunrise and having my first breakfast around 7 a.m., then time to enjoy the pool, and 30 min before the breakfast area closes, I was there again!
hahaha I ate for both of us every day as he doesn’t eat in the morning!
What can perfectly explain part of my extra 4 kg after getting back!
Even the bags... it was available for us, they just could think about every single detail!
.
About my mornings... every morning I made sure to wake up earlier to watch the sunrise, my morning meditations got even better!
Also, the Resort has its private beach, I did not know it was possible, it is an area of the beach where only people that are staying in the Resort can be in.
What about the TOURS?
The only time that we actually went out were the days that we stayed after the Resort hahaha, and I am glad that we decided to stay longer, Cancun has a lot to offer.
We went for some tours (it was around 65 dollars each tour per person, with round-trip
hotel transport):
- Zip-line, I thought I was acrophobic, but that day I found out that I was not, it was around 15 experiences , the trees were so high, I was s*iting myself, but I love that in the end, the staff seemed very prepared what made me feel more.
- Rio Secreto, where you swim and wade in one of the most spectacular underground caves in Mexico. See the famous crystal caves on a tour that showcases the spectacular natural wonders of the Yucatán. There was a moment where the group is in the cave and the guide asks everyone to hold hands in a circle, and he turn off the light for few seconds, it is a crazy experience!
Basically all the tours have food included, we had an amazing lunch in the Zip-line, but also we couldn’t eat properly the day we were in the Chichen Itza Tour, so I would say it depends on the tour.
We also visited Chichen Itza, the tour covered Valladolid, a 16th-century colonial city, visit the ancient Maya civilization of Chichen Itza, a UNESCO Site, and we had a chance to participate in an ancient Mayan purification ritual of Temazcal guided by a real shaman. In the archaeological zone, we spent time admiring the Kukulkan pyramid and the Temple of Warriors. A guide explained the cultural importance of the landmarks you stroll past.
It was a good tour, very nice for people who wants to go deeper in history but also very tiring and HOOOT, mas Gosh... it is way warmer once you leave the cost and go to the Forest, but it's worthy!
Ahhh, could not forget about this one, not only the food was amazing, but also the free drinks!
They weren’t watered down at all, we had the most amazing and unique cocktails ever!
As you can see, today is more about my experience, not many tips because we did not want to leave the Resort at all, what else could we ask for? Nothing could be better than that!
So, my BEST TIP is... if you can, give to yourself a few days in a nice Resort with all inclusive, choose a great one, it's a life time experience, do a good search before and
ENJOY the most important person in your life: YOURSELF!
So, that's it!
Thanks for being here!
