Episode 166: Riviera Maya Revisited

The Riviera Maya is a resort district along the Caribbean coast of the Yucutan penninsula, Just south of Cancun’s hotel zone. Starting just north of Playa del Carmen and extending south toward Tulum, this area is famous for all-inclusive resorts, aquatic activities involving everything from dolphins to underground rivers to camels. Yes… camels. Of course for those interested in ancient history, this area boasts some of the most famous Mayan ruins north of the equator. Earlier this year, in episode 132, we talked to Sandy about her familiarization trip with Karisma resorts to this beautiful destination. Recently, Elizabeth was able to participate in a similar trip and she experienced some of the same things but also some very different things while there. So we thought we would talk to her about what she learned and can now recommend for this area and especially for this family of resorts.
