Houston: We Have A Honeymoon Part II

Thanks to all the sweet readers that guessed about our honeymoon location! Only two of you guessed correctly- Mrs. Bear and Katie. We are going to Mexico!!!! After tons of research over the past 8 months of our engagement, we decided Mexico would be a great place for us to spend our first trip as husband and wife. Fun fact- Mr. SE is nearly fluent in Spanish!

The specific area we're going to is called Playa Mujeres, and it's nestled between Cancun and Playa del Carmen. We've heard lots of rave reviews for this area of Mexico, and we're looking forward to doing lots of fun things while there. The best part? Most of them are included! There's 8 restaurants and 11 bars. Our resort is an all-inclusive, and even includes a Greg Norman golf course. Clearly I will be at the spa while Mr. SE hits the greens. 6 nights of adults only bliss. We decided it was worth booking at the Excellence Club level. This means we'll have fresh fruit daily, an upgraded room service menu, and (most importantly) our room is ocean front. And when I say ocean front, I mean your bed is set facing directly out at the ocean.
My sweet fiance has never left the country, other than Thunder Bay Canada to play baseball, so I wanted this to be a great experience for him. We figure if you're going to go all the way there, why face the pool?

So now I present- Excellence Playa Mujeres. Here's more pictures of our resort. Weddingbee reader? This resort might look familiar to you. Mrs. Penguin traveled here for her honeymoon in 2008!

I been following you for a few months!.. It's exiting to see you plan your wedding. I been married for One Year and One month, its the best time of my life!

Every time you post something new I reminds me of my planning. I had so much drama going on, but we pulled through.


Great choice picking Mexico. Not just because I am Mexican, but because Mexico its not as bad as it said on TV. I am sure you will have a good time, just stay away from people that offer you temping but unreal deals and you will be fine :-)..

I hope you have as much fun as I did.

That pool is insane! I love it! You will have a fabulous time at that resort. I am telling you, the resort can make the entire honeymoon. I have some recaps this week about our honeymoon and tomorrow's is specifically about the pool and food at our resort :) Congrats on getting this all set! Something so exciting to look forward to.
