Honeymoon in Mexico- Day 1




We took a delayed honeymoon over Christmas break. We went to Secrets Maroma Beach Resort near Cancun Mexico. Secrets is an all inclusive resort so we had unlimited food and drinks included. The resort was awesome! Our trip was January 3-7, 2011.
Day 1: We left early from St. Cloud to ensure we would make our flight. The weather in Minnesota is always unpredictable! (see the pic below with how it looked the day before we left) Our flight was non-stop and on time. Once we arrived we made our way through passport checks and customs at the Cancun airport (it was kind of a zoo!). We then met our shuttle bus driver who took us directly to the resort. As soon as we arrived we got a feel for how great this vacation was going to be: Free champagne at check in! Later that afternoon we explored the resort. It was almost overwhelming the amount of amenities and options. Pools, food, drinks, the ocean, hot tubs, a jacuzzi in our room, hammocks, cabanas, etc! We ate sushi for dinner that night. We then looked at the stars from the beach. It was a nice evening!
