Barcelo Maya Riviera: Day 6

By Saint Greg

July 23, 2021

Good Morning!

I decided to go to Coba Mayan ruins today. I haven’t seen Coba offered as an excursion on any of the cruises I’ve been on. I think it would be too long of a trip. This very well may be my only chance to do it. I need…

Good morning. It looks like the wind and waves may be under control today

I’m making coffee in the room this morning. I’ll do a later breakfast and hang around the resort today.

I’m not sure what time the Palace stops serving breakfast but I’m going to try to get there…

By Saint Greg

July 16, 2021

Good Morning! I’m thinking about getting breakfast and heading over to Playa Del Carmen today.

I don’t believe I have shown you the never-ending hallway yet. I counted 63 rooms on the right side between my room and the area where the buffet and lobby are located. I believe it’s…

By Saint Greg

July 12, 2021

Good Morning! I want to eat breakfast and then take a little day trip to Tulum to see the Mayan ruins there. It’s about a 30 minute ride from here.

I can definitely feel the mileage I’ve put on these wheels the past couple days. They probably just need to…

Good Morning!

Since I went to bed early last night, I was up extra early today. I used that time to setup a little sunrise video here.

Barcelo Maya Riviera: Day 1

By Saint Greg

July 5, 2021

I just stepped into the lobby at Barcelo Maya Riviera. It’s only 11am so I don’t expect to be able to check into my room immediately.

They sanitize the front desk counter after each guest.

I was told my room should be ready at 2pm. They gave me a room number…

Barcelo Maya Riviera: Travel Day

By Saint Greg

July 2, 2021

I have a 6am flight to Cancun from DFW. I got dropped off at 4:05am. You know it’s early when Starbucks isn’t open.

It turns out I was dropped off at the wrong end of the terminal. That was American Airlines and it was empty. I entered near check-in window…

Barcelo Maya Riviera: Planning

By Saint Greg

June 28, 2021

When I decided to book a resort for June this one didn’t even pop into my head. I hadn’t even researched it last time. Planet Hollywood and all of the other resorts I had considered previously, had significantly higher prices this time around.

Instead of just paying an inflated…

Cozumel Barhop: Fo-Ho!

By Saint Greg

June 18, 2021

My original Cozumel Barhop experience actually took place on the Cozumel Day of my 2019 Carnival Vista cruise. During the pandemic I republished just the barhop portion as it’s own stand-alone Cozumel Barhop Tour article. I entered that into the Cozumel Barhop blog contest and won a free plane…
