Paradise every day at Casa Margareta!

Two girlfriends and I stayed at Casa Margareta for a week in August. We all agree that it was one of the best vacation experiences we have ever had! We rented a car at the airport (I highly reccomend renting a car) and after picking up groceries at Playa Del Carmen (much cheeper and more of a selection than in Puerto aventuras if you are planning on cooking) we made it to Casa Margareta and were delighted. It was clean and comfortable with new contemporary furniture. It had everything we needed including sunscreen and other toiletries, and a fully functioning kitchen stocked with spices, oils, and a fabulous margarita machine. There is also a large TV, an ipod hookup, and several CDs and DVDs. The airconditioning also works wonderfully and there is a washer and dryer in the condo. It also sits next to a beautiful pool that we enjoyed many times. Our first night we ate at Gringo Daves next to the beautiful dolphin lagoon and got to see a fire show over a round of free margaritas! We did something exciting every day and I already have a list of more places to explore next time. One of our favorites was Ackumal for snorkeling where we saw huge sea turtles, sting reys, a school of cuttlefish, and tons of coral and beautiful fish! after snorkeling we went to Buena Vida for drinks and fish tacos where we dined in a treehouse built in a palm tree complete with a bucket on a rope for service! We also went to Tulum and Coba to see the Mayan ruins. They were both very different. Tulum sits overlooking the ocean (where you can cool off after) and Coba is inland and is more extensive. At Coba we rented bikes and rode from site to site. Along the way back from coba there are several small towns where we stopped to shop and eat. On our last full day we went to the Xplore adventure park next to Playa Carmen. at Xplore we swam in an underground river around stalagtites and stalagmites, and completed the extensive zipline course over the jungle. You definately get the best view of the area from the ziplines. We had an amazing, action packed vacation and couldn't have stayed at a more comfortable and relaxing condo. I highly recomend Casa Margareta to anyone wanting to explore the Mayan Riviera. We were so sad to go!
