You cannot miss the tree and the flurry of activity as volunteers work tirelessly to make sure this Christmas is a bright one for so many children in Playa del Carmen.....................

The stream of customers at Cocos Cozumel restaurant has been steady since 6:00am.
When I walk in the air feels electric. I am welcomed with loud hellos, hugs and kisses. The scene resembles a soldier’s homecoming and it is to be repeated many more times during this morning.
Cocos Cozumel, a family owned breakfast restaurant just off Cozumel’s main plaza, has reopened its doors after a two-month-low-season-hiatus ...
The adventure of foreigners running a Mexican hotel

What is it like to run a small hotel on a beautiful white sand beach in the Riviera Maya?
My husband and I arrived in Tulum last November after making arrangements with our friend to live in his family casita behind his restaurant and hotel called Vista al Mar. In the interim, the hotel had been sold to a man from our home state of Colorado. He agreed to honor the arrangement with the original owner and allow us to live in the casita and, as a bonus, we could run the hotel until he was ready to begin the remodel; that would turn out to be the fabulous property now known as the Mezzanine ...
Good news! The Riviera Maya has one more hotel that has achieved a benchmark certification from Green Globe - BARCELO MAYA BEACH RESORT
Yes, Barceló Maya Beach Resort has achieved the prestigious GREEN GLOBE 21 Benchmarked certificate under the new GREEN GLOBE 21 Certification Program, which recognizes the operation’s commitment to operating at the world’s highest environmental standard .........
Although we all agree that we live in paradise, it is always a good thing when we are able to get away from our daily schedules and commitments and have an adventure! Enter Bacalar, the most beautiful place I have ever seen! Just a hop, skip, and a jump from Playa del Carmen, (about a 3 hour drive directly south) lays Lake Bacalar, a true natural wonder. Fed by a series of cenotes and underground currents, this long (50 km), fresh water lake has the most incredible colors you have ever seen.........

Pilates: Shape your legs for the holidays and your life

Work those legs…..
Last week we spoke about taking care of your precious feet. Making them feel relaxed, therefore the body can feel the effects. If you tried the few items listed you found that your whole body relaxed and that is great. If you didn’t try it … go back to the article (Soothe Your Feet) and do what it suggests; for life. Don’t you deserve it??
Now we’re going to work those `Gams’ - that’s French slang for `legs’. Sounds sexy, doesn’t it? And don’t you want sexy, shapely legs for the holiday season and for life?
Well then, don’t waste any more time. Get your Yoga mat, lay down on your side, on the floor, and let’s go ...........
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!The winter season (commonly referred to as 'HIGH' season) is here again!
We have already experienced the upswing of the busy season; properties are going fast. People are realizing that now is the time to look at investing in Mexico.
Mexico has always been a popular vacation destination, but recent tourism statistics in Mexico have shown a dramatic increase. This is due to the strong relationship of Mexico and the US, but more recently the high cost of traveling in Europe has drawn people to a more economic way of vacationing.
Mexico continues to offer low cost travel and accommodations, plus scenic locations that appeal to the masses .............
