Real Honeymoon: Playa Mujeres Mexico


I am very happy to share the amazing honeymoon of Adam and Jenny.  They recently went to Playa Mujeres, Mexico for their honeymoon and stayed at Excellence Playa Mujeres.  This is a gorgeous, adults only, all inclusive resort just north of Cancun.  I hope you enjoy reading about their honeymoon!

  1. Where did you go?  
Excellence Playa Mujeres in Mexico
 
  1. How did you decide on this destination?  
We wanted a very relaxing honeymoon, so we decided to focus on the Caribbean/Mexico for our destination.  After looking at probably over 20 resorts we landed on the Excellence brand.  They just seemed to have everything we wanted:  All inclusive, adults only, relaxing, secluded, and luxury.  Then we decided on Playa Mujeres because it was the newest of their resorts and just seemed to fit exactly what we wanted.
 
  1. Did you like where you stayed?  
We LOVED Excellence Playa Mujeres.  We stayed in a junior suite within the Excellence Club.  While the Excellence Club is definitely not necessary to have an enjoyable stay, we appreciated the extra perks such as the in room liquor and the private beach.  However, I think it would have been wonderful even if we hadn’t splurged for the Excellence Club.
 
  1. What did you think about the destination?   
The beach was beautiful and the water was very clear with the exception of a little seaweed that was not a bother at all.  It was quite warm since it was June in Mexico, but the beach provided a good constant breeze and the ocean was the perfect temperature to cool you off.
 
  1. What was your favorite part of your honeymoon?  

For me it was definitely laying on the beach and not really having to move since they would take your drink order, my husband would probably say the deep sea fishing we did with Aqua World.  They have an office onsite at the resort and you can book water excursions through them.


  1. Did the hotel provide any special honeymoon perks for you?  
Yes, with the proof of our marriage, they did a special in-room breakfast, a special dinner one night, a banner on our door noting that it was our honeymoon, champagne in our room, a special turn down service, and we received 15% off our spa visit for a couples massage.

  1. Do you have any suggestions for other couples going on a similar honeymoon?  
Bring lots of sunscreen with you as it is much more expensive on the resort and even though tip is included, we were really glad we brought plenty of ones to tip a dollar here and there.  From what we found, they don’t make much money and the service was really exceptional so it was worth it to us to tip a small amount even though it was definitely not required.
 
  1. What 3 words would you use to describe your honeymoon?   
Relaxing, indulgent, and romantic.
