10 things we love about the Mexican Riviera 

February 17, 2011

When the icy winds of February threaten to put a chill on your love
life, it’s time to shed some layers and fly to warmer climes.


Our recent jaunt to the all-inclusive Grand
Velas All Suites & Spa Resort, Riviera Maya
in Mexico has us
thinking, "How do I love thee? Let me count the ways…"

1. Our massive open-concept suite made entirely of cool white marble
that felt grand, modern, and princess-like.

2. The complimentary bottle of high-end sipping tequila, ice and citrus
welcoming us in our room, perfect for sampling on the ocean-view deck.


3. Spacious pool areas and beach cabanas, quiet customers, and porters
equipped with mini-Evian facial spritzers.

4. A huge array of healthy juices at breakfast, including our favourite,
"vampire juice" with beet and apple.

5. No need to miss your Americanorooms are equipped with high-end
Nespresso machines and afully-stocked hosted minibar with snacks, should
you wish a quiet retreat on your deck, watching the sunset.

6. Fresh mixed seafood ceviche, served poolside, with handmade chips.


7. Ultra-fine white sandy beach that feels like walking in baby powder,
and warm, calm water, perfect for swimming or kayaking.

8. Four high-end restaurants serving French, pan-Asian, Italian,
Spanish, and traditional Mexican cuisine, plus numerous bars and
bistros. Don’t miss the huevos rancheros for breakfast at Azul.

9. A hydrotherapy spa like no other. Block off an entire afternoon for
the Water
Journey
with hot and cool water experiences, a reflexology pool,
massaging "water beds," a mud masque to refresh your skin, herbal steam,
and sauna. Completely transformative.

10. And did we mention the weather?
