{Our Honeymoon} Chapter 2: The Excellence Way

We had the incredible opportunity of staying at the Excellence Playa Mujeres resort in Cancun, Mexico. Mike had been to one of their sister properties for a friend's wedding, so we decided to check out the Playa Mujeres resort for our honeymoon. I had never been to an all-inclusive resort, and let me just say- I am a complete fan! It was so nice to be on a vacation and not have to worry about the $ we were spending...because a set amount was already spent and everything was included! For my little Type-A brain...definitely. worth. it.

The resort was beautiful and we loved our room! Mike made me pose in different parts of the room, so ignore my awkwardness and enjoy the tour :)


In-room hot tub...


Bathroom...


Outdoor lounge chair...


With 7 restaurants on the property and 24 hour room service, we certainly had no lack of food. And since everything was included, we enjoyed a lot of fun food :) Not sure which entree to choose? Try them both! Want some ice cream? Grab a cone on the way back from the pool from the convenient walkway dispenser. Hungry for chocolate cake in the middle of the night? Order room service!

There were also fun perks for being honeymooners...romantic room setup, dinner for two, breakfast in bed...



There were a lot of activities throughout the week- pottery classes, sports tournaments, concerts/shows, etc. Mike played poker one afternoon and we rented jet skis another, but mostly we spent our time at the beach...



We got some reading in...



...some sunbathing and a few naps on the beach...


...and of course there were plenty of fun drinks had by all...

Bahama Mama, please!


...some more naps... (according to Mike this is how I spent our honeymoon, and unfortunately, the evidence would seem to be stacked against me haha)


We definitely enjoyed our time at the resort, and we are SO grateful that we got to celebrate our honeymoon in this way. We were sad to leave, but we have some great memories from our trip!
