Rob just got our hotel confirmation for Mexico. YAY!!! We will be staying at the #1 small hotel in Playa del Carmen, Luna Blue. It gets fantastic reviews and looks awesome! Cheaper than the monster all-inclusives and a ton more charm. We’ll also get to try more places, instead of feeling tied to the resort. We just recorded Rachel Ray’s Tasty Travels: Playa del Carmen for inspiration. Rob’s not such a huge fan but I’m sure she’s got a least a few great tips.
Conveniently located right on 307, Playa is in the middle of the Rivera Maya strip. South of Cancun, north of Tulum and a few hours east of Chichen Itza. Luna Blue will act as a home base and making day trips to Tulum, Chichen Itza, and maybe Cozumel. With 7 days in Mexico, we are trying to balance site seeing and relaxing.
Have you ever been to Mexico (specifically the Rivera Maya)? We’d love to hear your suggestions! Leave a comment or shoot us an email.

I’m lucky enough to live in the Riviera Maya. And I would definitley recommend a day trip to Tulum. The ruins are great and can be explored in just over an hour – and the view, it will take your breath away. I do recommend getting a guide, as it does make it a lot more interesting. I also go horseback riding down the beach at Punta Venada – quite often it’s only me and my wife there and miles of beach to ride on. Have a wonderful vacation!
