Did you know that you can enjoy an All-Inclusive Caribbean Vacation for around $100 pp/day plus airfare?  That includes all your meals, snacks, drinks, alcohol, and resort amenities which may include free entertainment, shows, water aerobics, tennis, and more!  Where?  South of Cancun - in the beautiful Mayan Riviera at our featured resort, the Viva Wyndham Maya.  While Cancun alone has over 26,000 hotel rooms. south of Cancun also is home to sprawling mega-resorts and long stretches of white sands and warm turquoise waters.   Things to do?  Visit a Mayan Ruin - Tulum or Chitzen Itza.  Go to Xel-Ha (say Shell-ha) or X-Caret (eesh-car-et) for the day .  Xel-Ha has features of Disneyland & Sea World wrapped in one facility.  One entrance fee can buy you a full day where all your activities, food, & drinks are covered.  We snorkeled in a lagoon stocked with tuna and barracuda!  Tubed down a river in a group, ate a fine lunch at a restaurant, some had tasty margaritas, we sunned, swam and had fun getting up close to these well-fed fish.  At the end of the day, the steep entrance fee was deemed worth it.  XCARET (eesh-car-et) has similar features, but also has indigenous animals, and an night Mayan show, and a river that actually goes underground.   Both feature an additional cost swim with dolphins.  Before I advocate swimming with dolphins, I always find out, if the dolphins were imported against their will from the cooler Pacific ocean waters which subjects them to stress and illness OR picked or bred locally.  If local dolphins, they can tolerate the heat and it's more humane.  Available ONLY in the Yucatan Peninsula:  Go snorkeling in an underground limestone cavern, ceynote (say-note-ee).  Myself, a PADI Advanced Open Water Diver with about 200 dives, was led by a Cave Instructor with redundant air supply at Buddy Quattlebaum's Dos Ojos.   Heavenly shafts of light beam through holes in the ceiling, lighting up the gin clear waters, so clean the Mayans used it as drinking water, as featured in the IMAX film filmed on location at Dos Ojos.  Fossils were imbedded in the limestone walls.  More  Water: Scuba Dive in water with visibility averaging from 80ft+ on nearby Cozumel Island, a protected marine preserve, with coral walls plunging down to depths of 3000 or more.  Drift diving is the norm and currents can average several knots.  Or dive sites near Playa Del Carmen such as El Tortuga (The Turtle).  Divers can fin alongside turtles, ranging in size from the hatchlings, to enormous veterans of the sea.   Riviera Maya sites feature a sand bottom and an average 50ft depth.  Take a Snorkel Party Boat Tour!   Zip-Line Canopy?  There is too much to list here!
