This year All-star break we decided to go to Mexico. We looked at multiple different beach vacations but ended up with Mexico as it is one of the closest places by plane from Minneapolis. We usually go just the two of us, but figured out it would be fun to go as a group and do dinners and activities together.
It’s nice to lay down on a sunbed for the first few days, but after it gets a bit boring. At least for us. We love an active vacation, combined with the beach and sun.
Fairmount Mayakoba is a hotel 30 minutes from Cancun airport. The hotel property is spread out over a bigger area, surrounded by canals and jungle.
When we first got to the hotel, we felt like everything was too spread out and didn’t know how to get around. There are white bikes spread around over the area and the hotel guests can use them as they please to go from breakfast to the beach, or from the beach to lunch. The bikes can be placed anywhere. There was also golf cars driving back and forth at all times between the restaurants, the hotel rooms, and the beach area. After a few days, we started loving it! Once we got used to everything, it felt really peaceful to ride a bike to breakfast in the morning and go back to the room after the beach. The hotel is gated, so only the guests and the staff working there will be seen at the property. The hotel felt safe, and the staff was helpful at all times.
The first day we got told there are alligators in the canals, and monkeys in the jungle. Pretty cool to be in the middle of the jungle, but It kind of freaked us out, so we decided to change a room closer to the beach where the other couples were as well. The beach area included a bunch of different activities and water sports. Some of them were beach volley, catamaran sailing, paddle boarding, and windsurfing. We did one kind of activity every day. We didn’t leave the hotel the entire week and still didn’t get bored.
The beach restaurant served lunch at the beach, and the two other restaurants were serving breakfast, lunch and Asian fusion. The breakfast restaurant was by one of the canals and the food was bomb, I had guacamole and fresh fruits for breakfast and lunch almost every day. I’m usually not a big fruit person, but experienced fruits in a new way in Mexico. There was a little tent in the middle of the buffet where a Mexican woman with a huge fruit basket in front of her, where you could pick your own fruit and she would cut it fresh in front of you. When it comes to the guacamole and the tortillas, don’t even get me started. Mexicans know how to do good guacamole, that’s for sure!
