ISLA MUJERES

Though our flight was to Cancun, I had less than zero desire to spend any time here. Thankfully there’s a glorious place called Isla Mujeres just a 20 minute ferry ride away! We arrived around sunset on New Years Eve and checked into Hotel Sueno Maya for 3 nights. I think this may have been the only hotel with last minute availability over New Years (at least out of hotels that are bookable online). Jamie and I were exhausted and spent the night lounging in our room, trying to stay awake for midnight like the grannies we are. I was so tired I actually managed to sleep through the all-night partying that was happening right outside (I woke up at 8am and IT WAS STILL GOING). We loved our time on Isla! Playa Norte is ridiculously beautiful, with some of the bluest water I’ve ever seen. It’s so gorgeous that I honestly forgot to be annoyed about how crazy-crowded it was. We fell into a routine of sunbathing til we couldn’t take the heat anymore, then plunging into the water to cool off slash play with my GoPro which somehow I haven’t managed to master yet #beautifulsunsets#summervacation#beachvacation#hotelstay#urbanexplorer
