For Lindsay's bachelorette getaway she opted for an all-inclusive resort in the Riviera Maya area of Mexico. Uh... si, senorita! She and her friend, and fellow bridesmaid, Sarah met me and Megan at Xcaret Resort just outside Playa del Carmen for a 4 day weekend of lounging in the sun with a beverage or two.

I'd never been to an all-inclusive before. It had just not been my style to sit on a vacation and do... well... nothing. Let me just say now: I am a convert! This place was just wonderful! The food was nothing to write home about, but it wasn't bad. The drinks flowed freely and were
not watered down. The service was lovely and everyone we interacted with was friendly and easy to smile (and spoke at least enough English to help us out if we needed it). Oh, and did I mention they have monkeys that wander the property?!
One day we took a trip to a water park near by called Xel-Ha. It was all about the snorkeling! We got our flippers, masks and spent a day swimming with sting rays and fish. Megan and Sarah even braved the cliff diving - Linds and I cheered them on from below. It was a super fun day, and a real highlight to the weekend.

It was hard to leave such a lovely slice of paradise, but after four days of bliss it was time to depart. Linds had a great time, which was the point of all the hoopla. I will definitely be back... and maybe bring my boys next time!
