The Honeymoon Decision

We booked our honeymoon!!!!!  After reading thousands of reviews (seriously, Brandon did that, not me!) and lots of pros and cons lists (I know, I know) we decided on El Dorado Maroma Beach Resort.   Every option just looked so good, it made it VERY hard to decide!!  It was hard to weed out anyplace that was a tropical location, because we knew anyplace we chose would be amazing!

Anyways, El Dorado Maroma is located on the spectacular Maroma Beach in the Riviera Maya of Mexico, and it’s considered to be one of the Top Beaches in the world by independent reviewers, including Travel Discovery Channel.  It’s about 40 minutes from the Cancun airport and 10 minutes north of Playa Del Carmen.  El Dorado Maroma also shares premises with Marina Maroma Paradise which offers a wide range of water sports, tours, day and night activities only steps away.

The resort only has a mere 72 rooms, so it’s a very small place!  We actually booked a swim up room which connects by lazy river to the main pool.  We plan on leaving the Sunday after the wedding at 6am and we arrive in Cancun at 11:15am, so we should be to the resort and on the beach by 3!!  We will be there until the following Sunday, so it’ll be an awesome 7 day get-a-way!!

We are panning on registering on a honeymoon registry web site, so you can give us wonderful gifts of massages, snorkeling trips, candlelit dinners, etc. instead of dishes!!  But, we are still registering for stuff like dishes, don’t you worry!  We also went through a travel agent that was recommended by a friend of mine.  We thought we could get some amazing deal by booking it by ourselves using the internet, this was not the case!  The prices she gave us were way lower than anything we found on our own!  So, if you ever need a referral, try Honeymoon-Hideaways.  We worked with Vicki and she was awesome!
