We headed to Cancun for a long weekend at El Dorado Casitas. I had visited El Dorado as part of a travel agent conference in October 2015. I recommended it to my parents and they visited in January 2016. I was excited to explore the resort myself for a few days.
Our room was amazing - an infinity pool swim up suite. I loved it. We could relax in our own pool or swim to the swim bar.

The food at the resort was really good. We had room service for breakfast. Lunch was a little different every day. We had dinners at Santa Fe, the Wine Kitchen, the Culinary Theater, and the Italian restaurant. The highlights were the Wine Kitchen and the Culinary Theater. The food at the Culinary Theater was fantastic. The event dragged on a bit. The Wine Kitchen was over at Generations - the family resort next door. We ended up buying bottles of wine at dinner because the hosue wine was not our taste.

We decided to take a tour the first full day in Mexico. Glenn had really wanted to see the Mayan ruins. We arranged for a private driver and guide and headed down to Tulum. It was fantastic. We got there just as Tulum was opening so we had the place to ourselves. Our guide was so passionate about the history and the culture. It started pouring down rain - which was nice because it cooled things off a bit. Then we headed to Coba. This is a smaller set of ruins that you can climb. After all the history, we headed back toward the resort and had lunch at a great spot in Playa del Carmen.

The rest of the weekend passed quickly. We spent most of our time at the Swim Up Bar. It was a wonderful relaxing weekend.
