SECRETS MAROMA BEACH | RIVIERA MAYA, MEXICO

This past week my husband and I took a much needed, long awaited beach vacation. Living in Miami, you'd think we would go to the beach more, but when you work as much as we do, you don't always go as much as you would like. We went to an all-inclusive (our first one) adults only resort near Cancun, Mexico.

    Interestingly (well, I think so...) - the reason that the beach sand remains relatively cool, is because it is NOT comprised of the regular silicon, rather from minute pieces of coral, which has accumulated from the reefs offshore, over many years.

    Hi! There were a lot of honeymooners and couples at this resort, but people were also there in groups. There were also adult family groups. The pool was definitely a social scene, especially at the swim up bar. My husband and I went as a couple (not on a honeymoon) and made friends with other people there, so it wasn’t like people kept to themselves.

    Hey Laura I’m going to use amstar for the transportation service but I wanted to ask For my departure flight leaving from Cancun How much time should I give myself For example if my flight departs Cancun at 12pm should I be at the airport 2 hours before departure? Or do you think I need more time Because I don’t know if it’s a crowded airport Like do you go through security quickly? Also knowing that the resort is 30 minutes away from the airport Does amstar pick you up on time exactly at the time you choose or do they arrive late to pick you up

  • @LauraPosse

    @LauraPosse

    2 жыл бұрын

    When I booked my departure, the website gave me a suggested pickup time so that was the time we selected. I think it was a little after 2 that we got picked up for a 6pm flight and it worked well because the airport is about 45 minutes away from the resort and when we got to the exit for the airport there was a lot of backed up traffic. The airport has 4 terminals so it is on the larger side. We got through security quickly on the day we went, but I'm sure there are times when it is busier. If you're concerned about timing you could always speak to the rep at the resort.

  • @LauraPosse

    @LauraPosse

    Жыл бұрын

    If you want a particular spot, I recommend getting there early. The pool was more crowded than the beach when I went because of seaweed so beachside was not a problem. The pool was busier and if you got there later, you could still find somewhere to lay. It might not be directly in front of the pool, but in a row further back. If you go in the morning, put your stuff down and leave, the staff move it after 30 minutes so that people don’t hog chairs they don’t plan on using until later. You can also opt to reserve one of the cabanas either by the pool or beach for an additional cost. Enjoy your stay!
