Our Honeymoon | Excellence Resorts in Riviera Cancun, Mexico
If you’ve ever booked a vacation at an all inclusive resort (especially in Mexico) you know that there are approximately 9 million to chose from. In all honesty, I felt a bit overwhelmed with all the choices and wasn’t sure we’d ever make a decision but we did.. and it was the BEST!
We initially looked into Excellence Playa Mujeres based on a recommendation from my friend, Meghan. It seemed promising but we held off on booking for some reason. When we did finally go to book, the resort was booked up forcing us to look at other locations. We wanted to stay close-ish to Cancun for transfer purposes so the Riviera Cancun location seemed perfect (about 20 minutes from the airport). After booking, we also found out that my step mom and step brother had been to the Excellence location in the Dominican Republic (& loved it), so we felt super happy with our choice!
We flew out of MKE on the 23rd bright and early. With everything we’ve been hearing about cancelled or delayed flights, I was a bit nervous that was going to happen to us. I didn’t want to miss any of our days at the resort so was super happy once we landed in Cancun. Our resort includes transfers with your stay but what I didn’t know is that it was a private transfer. We were picked up in a brand new Chevy Suburban and it honestly felt super special.
Once arriving to the resort, we were greeted with champagne filled flutes and a beautiful lobby to our resort (that smelled SO good. I love when places incorporate scent into their experience).
