Temazcal Ceremony Zoetry Paraiso de la Bonita

Temazcal is an ancient sweat bath or sweat lodge first used by the Aztecs. 

For hundreds of years, it has been used as a way to purify, cleanse, & heal the mind, body, & spirit.

 The temazcal here is a small round stone structure. The ceremony preformed by a real Shaman. 

This ceremony is done here every other day. 

It is one on the many extra things that is included with your stay here at Zoetry Paraiso de la Bonita.

 

It is a unique experience & one not to miss. 

Marina La Bonita

                           

Yesterday we chartered the Pez La Bonita II for the day, with captain Martin & mate Anselmo.
                             

 It was a great way to see the coast line as we went from our resort down to Playa del Carmen. 

Along the way we stopped just off the Maroma Beach for some of the best snorkeling we have ever done here in the Riviera Maya. So many different kinds of fish & colors.

At one point it looked like a underwater aquarium.  Anselmo snorkeled with us showing us many things we may have missed on our own.
 
                            

Waking in Paradise

Love my mornings here, wake up to be greeted by the sun rising over the ocean. Every morning it's spectacular site.

                                           

                                    Breakfast on your terrace listening to the ocean

                               Start the day with Pranayama Vinyasa Flow Yoga

Great to be back at Zoetry Paraiso De La Bonita

"Welcome home" is what we are greeted with when arriving at Zoetry Paraiso de la Bonita & I feel as if we are. It's been 2 years since our last visit & so many familiar faces. Where we are living for the next week in the Nairobi suite on the 3rd floor with incredible views of the ocean. When I walked in I remember how much I loved being able it see the ocean just about every place you go even the shower has a view. 
  It is good to be back. 

                                           Our transfer to the resort

El Dorado Maroma Beach Resort

We have spent yet another day enjoying Maroma beach. A couple told us they have never seen 2 people who spend so much time in the ocean as we do.  With a beach as wonderful as this one how can you want to be anywhere else.

  This is our last night here so we tried Sabores for dinner. It's a Mexican & Caribbean restaurant. Once again we had a lovely meal
                                   

The show tonight at Rick's bar was a live band which was really fun. I am sorry we won't be here tomorrow night for the fire show on the beach.

   Here are some pictures of this beautiful resorts.

Maroma Beach

We just had a fabulous day on Maroma beach. We started it off with a long walk, you can walk for miles here & we did. After a long what could be better than breakfast beach side at Papitos with a few mimosas. The rest of the day was spent on the beach. I even treated myself to a over the ocean massage. It doesn't get much better then this for a beach loving girl.  The water is perfect here you can float for hours & I did.

  For those who need more to do there are 2 pools each with a swim up bar.

El Dorado Maroma

It always amazes me how you can wake up on a cold morning, jump on a plane & have your toes in the sand by lunchtime. We got to El Dorado Maroma by 11:30am, our room was not ready as check in is 3:00pm. No worries, we did a quick change & off to the beach.  I see why Maroma beach is rated one of the best in the world, it's pure white sand beach stretching as far as you can see. The water here is clear, sandy bottom great to swim or just float around.

Riviera Maya

We are back in the Riviera Maya staying this time for a couple of days at the beautiful   El Dorado Maroma Resort.  A few years ago we stayed at the El Dorado Seaside Suites & really enjoyed the resort so we are certainly hoping this small 72 room boutique resorts lives up to our expectations. Maroma beach has been rated one of the top beaches in the world. Can't wait.
