CancúnTom's Mexico

From our family to yours we send to you our fond wishes for a Happy Thanksgiving Day and Holiday Season.

Thank you to all our viewers stopping by to take a look at our web page, we want you all to know that you and your interest in it is why we are doing this project.

We did a little weekend getaway starting last Friday through Sunday. We stayed at the Bahia Principe Tulum, but stopped in Akumal to check it out on the way back to Cancun. We settled at this wonderful little rustic palapa bar right on the beach in the bay. As we enjoyed our ice cold cerveza’s we watched the snorkelers and scuba divers in the bay having a great time. It was a bit cloudy but the day was better than the photo’s indicate.

If your ever in the Rivera Maya area don’t miss stopping and checking out Akumal. It’ s a very small unspoiled community the is exactly what you envision a place like this would be in Mexico
