“We’re not going to Cancun, we’re going to Playa Del Carmen. Get it right." she said with a flirty smirk on her face. You see, years earlier they attended a wedding in Playa Del Carmen. Prior to the wedding He was speaking to bride’s mom and commented how excited He was to go to Cancun for the first time. His excitement was met with a sharp, “They aren’t getting married in Cancun,” as if the word Cancun tasted of rotted flesh, “They are getting married in Playa Del Carmen.”
Needless to say, She enjoys all Cancun, Playa Del Carmen, Cabo and likely any of the other beautiful Mexican cities She has yet to explore. And He, well, He loves everything that brings a smile to Her face. So, when She needed a tropical vacation before the hectic fall schedule that She received with her promotion, the search began.
Puerto Rico, Caye Caulker and Mexico were the top contenders. Playa Del Carmen rose to the top due to ease of transportation, the presence of a lively town, and the comforts of a luxury hotel near the mix.
The travel:
She has a companion pass, so they will be traveling NOLA -> Houston -> Cancun on Southwest.
Immediately upon receiving a custom's stamp, They will head to the bar outside the airport to secure a margarita, then contact the resort shuttle.
The hotel:
Paradisus La Perla is an adults only, luxury all inclusive hotel by the Melia group. They were attracted to this hotel due to the proximity to 5th avenue, the wide array of restaurants and bars within the resort, and an amazing experience They had at Pardisus Los Cabos in 2021.
They did consider staying in an Airbnb but ultimately decided on an all-inclusive for this trip to optimize fun and relaxation. They are planning to do some recon for a future trip to determine if this is something they may enjoy in the future.
The looks:
Of course, She needed to serve some looks on vacation. She was inspires mostly by earthy tones for this trip. Commissions are earned on the links below but she'll never share one that she hasn't tried herself.
The fun:
Going into the trip there are no excursions planned. They are both looking to go with the flow and enjoy all Playa Del Carmen has to offer. She is curious about taking a day trip to a Cenote.
