Mexico Fun at The Valentin Imperial Maya

Hello again!
This time we are going in the way back machine back to Sept of 2008


This place was so amazing we decided to add it in ,
This time we are in Mexico, Playa Del Carmen on 1/2 mile of private beach called "Playa Del Secreto" (the secret beach) at the "Valentin Imperial Maya" a newer hotel that just finished being built in 2008.
The Hotel was beautiful and romantic , The pool huge and wonderful The staff friendly , the food plentiful and if you like cocktails your in heaven!

The entire resort is clean from the public restrooms to every place you can go in the resort great care is
taken to make it exactly what you would think it should be . The beach is cleaned every day , your fridge is stocked and everything you could want is included in the price you pay .

There are 9 restaurants and over 7 bars , one for whatever you would like to do , from sports to reading they have a space for you .

We got a swim up suite and boy is it worth it ! 10 feet out your door and your in the blue clear water it was hard to decide to stay by our room or hit the beach .
We have two words for you "Off Season!" we went in September the water was warm the sun was hot and the resort was only at 30% capacity . The greatest thing was if your like us and just want to be alone you could be, virtually any time you want, we had the beach to ourselves most of the morning except for the occasion bird and passing boat.
A little waring if its not your thing the beaches are topless optional .

Another nice thing is this is an
adult only resort , but not the ADULT ONLY you need to worry about.

Over by the swim up suites there is a self serve bar that they set up and leave for you , plus the restaurants are full service with many choices from Italian to french the food was great , the room service is 24 hours a day but the menu is limited , you don't have to tip but they do earn it!

Bring tipping money a insulated cup for the beach the ice melts super fast , it doesn't have to be the 64OZ big gulp type any one will do , the water is filtered and there is plenty to do, the main pool is huge you can float all day and hang at the swim up bar.

Some things to bring - Nice clothes you have to dress for dinner all though they didn't appear to enforce that rule, The insulated cup , Tons of sunscreen , Water socks - the beach is a little rocky getting in the water , a great book , band aids the ones they have at the resort turn your wound red, and get ready to be on vacation without worry . We would recommend this resort for the first timer to Mexico . Wander the trails hold hands , watch the late night shows in the out door theater, or have a coffee in the coffee bar , this resort is romantic safe and clean .
