KO Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 Had to share the excitement. Me and the wife have been married 8 years but just now going on a Honeymoon. I graduated college on a Friday, married the very next day on Sat., and started my first day on the coaching job that Monday, bam, boom, bang so we never had an official Honeymoon. Anyways, we're going the all inclusive route to Secrets Maroma Resort off of Maroma Beach, Mexico. 4 days/nights. It's a 5 star joint, adults only, 7 Restaurants and entertainment on site. Supposively it has been voted one of the Worlds Best Beaches by Travel Channel on more then one occasion. Now for the questions part, anyone ever been here? Whether you have or not any tips/advice in general is appreciated. Me and the wife have never been out of the country, she pretty much flipped out when I told her. According to trip advisor it has gotten excellent reviews, I've researched this thing pretty hard. Here are a few pics and what not of where we're going.

KO Posted July 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 Supposively it's not your typical loud and crazy Cancun style place, it's supposed to be "classy", but hey that won't scare me! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanta Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 Supposively it's not your typical loud and crazy Cancun style place, it's supposed to be "classy", but hey that won't scare me! lol Yeah, just google the name of the resort and add reviews. Rose petals, champagne, adults only. Not the party hard like a normal tourist trap. Congrats on the honeymoon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiplee Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 looks wonderful. Congrats. I've heard Cancun is the last place you want to go in Mexico, unless it's your spring break and you don't yet have that STD you've been dying to get. There are supposedly some resorts on the west coast that blow everything in Cancun away, cost half as much, and have nearly zero tourists, or at least very few college kids.

KO Posted July 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 Thanks, we'll see how it goes, I've heard the same about Cancun, resort on top of resort, loud music everywhere and just pure craziness. I wasn't after that party atmosphere, just something nice and relaxing. I will have to let you guys know how it goes, we leave the 19th. My main goal is not to be the guy at the breakfast buffet the 1st morning looking like death with a killer hangover and sun burn from hell. But I'm not making any promises!

SQF Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 Slacker, it's about time. You don't consider my drive from New York to Texas with the explicit intention of meeting you and your lovely wife a Honeymoon? Man I'm hurt. Who knew AAA doesn't cover crossroads Texas and you have to resort to breaking into your own car McGuyver style with bailing wire and a makeshift door wedge? Alyssa still talked about the horse that stalker her.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelby Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 (edited) this KO guys sounds like he's a bad influance on fine up standing people :biggrinumbrella1: and be sure to get some arm floaters that pool bar looks like a place a guy could drown i can hear him now "wheres the boys room,, ok never mind" Edited July 14, 2009 by Shelby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KO Posted July 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 Tim that does ring a bell, crazy seeing that picture as I've actually got a green yard to mow now, that was shortly after we had moved in. I believe we punished some frosty ones at Dad's place that day, you kept saying ok just one more and I'm gone and Dad was forcing them upon you, in which you could not refuse! he he And Edde you are right, SHE deserves it for putting up with ME, lol. Shelby I'm staying in the waist deep just in case! And who wants to make a break for the boys room when you are relaxing in the pool drinking a Long Island out of a Cocunut!? LOL Mike, the bailing wire and makeshift wedge ranks up there with the best I've ever seen in person, he he, good thing you did not go the criminal route or vehicles across the US would be in trouble! Yeah, and we still can't get AAA. I caught that horse standing on the bumper of my Conquest one day and licking my back glass, I about killed the $%$, needless to say we got rid of it, he had some marbles loose. By the way my old high school coach is now at St. Johns, he is the women's assistant, he has only been up there a year and has already picked up an accent, he says he really likes it. Maybe he will get us to a game and I will have to return the cross country trip visit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natedog_37 Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 (edited) Not been there but we go to mexico on Vaction every 2 years. 1. Don't drink the water.... 2. they drive like crazy people down there if you get sick in a car take something before you get there. Trust me. 3. Don't flash money or anything worth something if you leave the resort. 4. We stay at the Rui hotels but most all incl. are the same. they say you don't have to tip but we do. You get better service and they bring you more drinks faster..!! and I drink alot hahaha. 5. Be safe and have a great time, oh and if you burn easy but on lots of sun screen or you will pay for it. You don't feel hot but you will burn.... Also if there should be a agent in the lobby with site seeing info. We mostly do 1 outing a trip they can be $$ but are worth it. Also drink lots of bottle water the hotel should supplie it for you. Edited July 14, 2009 by natedog_37 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
