Excellence Riviera Cancun

Our vacation seems like only a dream now. We’ve been home almost two weeks and already the sweet memories of tropical breezes and white sand are fading away.

Like I’ve mentioned before, the resort we stayed at was wonderful. Pampering. Gorgeous. Great food. Lovely location. Here are some photos from around the resort.

I start with the entrance and main reception area. Lots of marble!

The spa where we treated ourselves to a pampering treatment one morning. Very, very Zen.

There were many Mayan statues like this one.

And this one.

According to hubby Rick, this one is giving what is construed as a rude gesture in Brit speak. How about it folks across the pond: true?

Wow, what a place. You could just stand there with your mouth hanging open for a week trying to take it all in.

Looks like a very sumptuous, relaxing environment.
I’m happy to know you were able to experience this adventure ... what a treat!

Warmly,
