I was browsing Livingsocial one day in October and saw a great deal for one week in Playa Del Carmen at the Grand Mayan Resort. After a little research, we decided to finally nail down our honeymoon plans. We booked a week in Playa Del Carmen during the first week of February, and it was perfect.
I loved that The Grand Mayan resort had everything we needed on-site, including several restaurants, a grocery store, deli etc., especially because I was super paranoid about going out into town. We went to just relax, so it really was the perfect destination to do just that.
There were several pools to choose from, each of which had swim-up bars. My favorite place!
2 for 1 drinks at happy hour!
My husband on the other hand...
....signed up for almost all of the extra curricular senior activities. Poker, tennis, ping pong, bingo...he was there!
I had an amazing massage at the Brio spa, and spent most mornings in their gym overlooking the ocean.
The restaurants at the resort were all amazing.
Del Lago:
Bread display
Churros, donuts, and cinnamon sugar for breakfast
Nutella, salted carmel and hazelnut for dipping churros and donuts. So amazing!
Fondue station
The bar at Tramanto, where I had the best pasta I have ever had (in Mexico of all places, ha!)
Gong Restaurant:
Yes, I realize that we are dressed for two completely opposite seasons.
There were flamingos and crocodiles on site
We did spend a little time away from The Grand Mayan. One of the standout days was spent on a tour of Chichen Itza, which was breathtaking and fascinating. First stop on the tour was a swim in this gorgeous Cenote.

I regret not spending much time on the beach, but when there are beautiful pools (with bars) overlooking the ocean, I am pretty content.
If you're looking for a relaxing trip and want to be pampered, definitely check out The Grand Mayan in Playa Del Carmen!
