Grand Velas Riviera Maya
#WhereToGoWednesday
Hugging the coast where the Caribbean Sea meets the Yucatan jungle, Grand Velas Riviera Maya takes you beyond all inclusive. Savor gourmet cuisine from renowned chefs, bring balance to body and mind with treatments in their holistic spa and unwind in suites with private terraces, plunge pools and uninhibited water views.
The awesome Waterworks area for the young and young-at-heart 😉 It was hot enough today I almost wished we could test it out :)
This is the Grand Suite. It's over 400 square feet, sleeps 4 with a king bed and pullout sofa and has a large balcony. The bathroom has double sinks, tons of room and a jetted tub. This is definitely a favorite! #SailAwaySunday
This is a Family Harbor stateroom, sleeps 5 with king bed, pullout sofa and upper bed. The amount of room in this bathroom is amazing for a cruise ship. Booking a Family Harbor room gives you access to some amazing exclusive features, including the Family Harbor lounge with concierge service, Xbox/PlayStation gaming stations and plenty of space for relaxing. #SailAwaySunday
This is an oceanview stateroom with 1-1/2 baths. It can sleep 5 with the king bed, pull-out sofa bed and pull down bunk. The half bath has a tub and sink/mirror, allowing multiple people to get ready at the same time! #SailAwaySunday

Today is a special Sail Away Sunday, as I'm spending the day touring the Carnival Vista. This ship is coming to Galveston next year once they launch the Carnival Horizon in April 2018.
Watch for upcoming pics of several amazing cabin possibilities as well as upgraded common areas.
My favorite spot so far is the lobby bar with this amazing LED fishtank feature.

Today's recommendation is a personal favorite of mine. Anytime someone asks me where they should go in Mexico, this resort is always top of mind. Tucked into the region’s only private cloistered beach-cove on Puerto Vallarta’s “Las Estacas” Beach, Hyatt Ziva is a wonderful place to get away from it all.
In this all-inclusive resort, each over-sized suite features an awe-inspiring view, a spa-style bathroom and a private furnished balcony. If you stay in the Club Tower, almost every balcony has it's own private hot tub!
All-Inclusive Amenities include:
- Fine dining options, a-la-carte and gourmet buffet resturants as well as room service
- Top-notch entertainment featuring daily performances
- Unlimited alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages and snacks at lounges and bars
- Unique daily and nightly activities
- All resort taxes and gratuities
- 5 exclusive pools including an adults only pool
- and much more!
This is the one place in Mexico that I will always recommend people try at least once. I personally can't wait to go back. And right now, there are some pretty amazing specials happening through 2017, including 30% off spa services and room savings of up to 55%! Maybe I'll see you there!
