Our Getaway to the Riviera Maya

In honor of my husband Jonathon's 35th birthday and our second wedding anniversary we decided wanted to go on a big vacation.We first went to the Riviera Maya to celebrate my 30th birthday a few years ago and we fell in love with it. When were deciding on a place to vacation we undoubtedly knew we wanted to go back to the Riviera Maya again.

 We looked at quite a few resorts and read a number of reviews on TripAdvisor, but finally settled on the Valentin Imperial Maya Resort, an adults only all-inclusive resort.




 This resort was amazing and exceeded any expectations we had. It was peaceful and relaxing, but there was still a bit of party atmosphere too. The grounds were just beautiful!



 We loved swimming in the crystal blue water even though I did get taken out by a pretty gnarly wave. LOL






 The pools were awesome. 









We spent a lot of our time at the main pool and the swim up bar, but we also enjoyed the private pool which was right near our suite.








 The food and drinks were impeccable. Whether we ordered drinks at dinner or at the swim up bar- they were always great!  We also loved that we didn't have to make reservations for dinner like we've had to at other all-inclusive resorts that we've visited in the past.








 The service was by far the best we've ever experienced. I've never stayed at a place where they would clean your rooms twice a day! We had a great time and we both have said that we would definitely consider coming back to this resort in the future.
