Benito Ju\u00e1rez, which is one of the largest residential areas in Mexico City is a fantastic place to stay. There are many resorts that all of the rooms are in walking distance from the beach, the pool, the restaurants, the clubs and\u00a0 the work out center. This makes it easy to spend a lot of time at the pool and the beach. But, there is always excursions close by that are well worth the time spent away from the resort. I stayed at Secrets Maroma Beach Riviera, which is a great option.<\/p>\n<p>One excursion that is fun is snorkeling. The boat rides are beautiful. While we were there we took a snorkeling excursion. You start off by getting on the boat, and are surrounded by gorgeous blue water\u00a0 that feels like it goes on forever. You boat around for awhile until finding an open spot where then they let you swim and\u00a0 jump off the boat. They also bring paddle boards along with you so that is an option as well. After swimming and paddle boarding for about 30 minutes they have you get back onto the boat to find a good place to snorkel. This is one of the best parts of the whole trip. You see so many cute little fish, and then also got to see some turtles which are one of my favorite animals. The water was so clear that you could see everything. The beautiful corals, the fish and all of the beautiful features of the ocean. As you are on the way back to the drop off location they gave us food, and many yummy drinks. They give you a platter of four different foods, which were fruit, chips and guacamole, a salad and chicken.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2032\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2032\" style=\"width: 225px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2032 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/richardcolby.net\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/mexico-1-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"This picture is of the boat and then also the blue water for as far as you can see. \" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"http:\/\/richardcolby.net\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/mexico-1-225x300.jpg 225w, http:\/\/richardcolby.net\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/mexico-1-768x1024.jpg 768w, http:\/\/richardcolby.net\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/mexico-1-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, http:\/\/richardcolby.net\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/mexico-1-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, http:\/\/richardcolby.net\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/mexico-1-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2032\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">This picture is of the boat and then also the blue water for as far as you can see.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2034\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2034\" style=\"width: 225px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2034 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/richardcolby.net\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/mexico-3-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"This picture is of me doing a backflip off of the boat.

There is a location called Xei Ha Hidden Wonder. There are spots to take pictures with beautiful parrots, float down a river, zip line, go hiking and swimming in these magnificent caves, go cliff jumping and go down water slides. One of the best parts of this excursion is the caves. There were so many of them and each one of them had its own original look to it. The zip lining is extremely fun, and a great time for all ages. It was surrounded by beautiful trees, and the water was so clear underneath you.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2039\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2039\" style=\"width: 225px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2039 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/richardcolby.net\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/mexico-6-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"This is a picture of one of the caves.

I would highly recommend anyone who is looking for a fun and relaxing vacation to go here. There are so many different options for places to stay, excursions to go on and the best part is it is all up to you. If someone wants to sit and relax by the pool or beach all day they can do that, or if somebody wants to go on adventures and see so many beautiful places and things they can do that as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mexico is one of the best vacation on can take.
