Banyan Tree Mayakoba, Quintana Roo, Mexico

Our first vacation without the kids – and how lucky were we not to have to organize a single aspect of it, besides booking our plane flights; we were off to Mayakoba, a destination just south of Cancun in Quintana Roo, Mexico, for our friend’s 40th birthday, and he was the tour organizer.

With it being a holiday weekend, however, hotel prices were […]
