Today, I wanted to write about my visit to Xcaret. More specifically, I wanted to focus on my impression of the Maya Cemetery. It is odd to treat a cemetery as a tourist destination. Regardless, there you have it. I didn’t linger much in the place.   It had a creepy vibe about it. Then again, most cemeteries are rather creepy, and possibly haunted. I first visited this cemetery a few years ago. It was before the pandemic. There were a lot fewer graves. This time it seemed a little more crowded.   At night, the place looked extra spooky....

Today, I was in the mood to reminisce about the last vacation I took. This time I wanted to blog about in specific about La Cocina Mexican restaurant. This was a buffet restaurant in the Nature park of Xcaret. The place has some good ambience and decoration.   The waiters though stoic, are efficient. Once you get your drinks, you are left to your own devices. It is up to you to get the food you want to eat. The buffet has quite the varied selection.   It has all the core ingredients for you to make the best tacos...

In spite of everything, Tulum survived more or less in one...

The first thing I wanted to talk about was the trip to the restaurant. Since it wasn’t in the main hotel, we had to take the bus to go there.

Today, I wanted to write a blog about some of the nice décor I saw in the Barcelo Maya Palace. When one talks about a resort, it is important to talk about the ambience. It depends on what you consider important.   As for me, I like to look at random decorations and blog about them. The first thing I wanted to talk about are these cute figurines. They are ceramics that are drawn over. Most of them feature faces of maidens in different outfits.   It has quite the peculiar cartoonish style that is quite charming. In the gift...
