Wander & enjoy the diversity...it feeds your soul “What is more miraculous than the moment?” Vietnamese monk Thich Nhat Hanh

Stunningly beautiful beaches!  Crystal clear aquamarine ocean water.  Wonderfully warm people!  Delicious food!  GREAT snorkeling when you have a "William" to guide you in a kayak. Great massages on the Playa del Carmen side by "Hilda!"  This is a safe, comfortable, village atmosphere that is only compromised by the daily (except for Sunday) cruise-ship economy. Because of the daily sun/heat/humidity the swimming pools have been just perfect so swimming twice a day has been such a pleasure!  We would highly recommend Residencia's Reef at the south part of the island as a quiet place to stay.  Although there is no place to go eat after 5pm, we had a great kitchen, private cooling pool & all the comforts of a relaxing vacation.  Love the creatures crawling around too - the iguanas & crabs are so shy...contrasted with the fish that swam with us close to the surface of the water!  What a GREAT place to warm up!  Loved the tropical storm with all it's thunder too!  See photos ->>>
