Karisma Resorts Introduction to Generations in Riviera Maya
Karisma Resorts asked me to go to the opening of the first
Nickelodeon Resort this summer in Punta Cana. It looked like it was going to be
quite a place, and I’m always a fan of the Dominican Republic.
Unfortunately, the resort wasn’t open in time for me to go,
but it worked out just fine: I got to check out some of the resort company’s
Riviera Maya offerings.
To make things a bit more complicated, just before the trip
I injured my ankle. At the time, I didn’t know how serious it was, but I did
know that I could not walk much.
That left me with the terrible job of having to lay back, relax, and enjoy Mexico for a few days!

My friend Roberta was flying from Tennessee to meet me at
Cancun airport. We were going to stay in Riviera Maya at Generations
Resorts.
It’s a luxury family resort next door to the chain’s El Dorado Royale
and
El Dorado Casitas
adults only properties we would also be able to
enjoy.

We arrived at Generations
quickly and the lobby was
inviting. It was early in the day and our suite wasn’t ready yet. I repeated my
requested for a ground level swim-up suite as it would have the least amount of
walking.
While we waited, we enjoyed our first cocktails with lunch
at the only buffet restaurant at
Generations All Inclusive Resort
, the Chef Market. Roberta picked
up and assortment of food while I decided to ask the waiter to bring me the
Carnitas Tacos from Palms Gourmet Terrace so I didn’t have to walk around.
It was the room I had requested, a one-bedroom swim-up
suite. It had two queen beds, a view of the Caribbean Sea, a jacuzzi, 24-hour
room service, a stocked mini refrigerator, and a butler to serve our every
need. What more could we want?!
Roberta decided to explore and I was more than happy to put
on my bikini and lay down on the couch on our patio. The butler brought some
ice for my ankle and I enjoyed the view and a book I had waited a long time to
read.
It was Roberta’s first trip to Mexico -- I had been many times
before, including five trips to the Cancun and Riviera Maya area
)-- so she was gone a while checking out
the landscape.
When Roberta came back, she helped me down to the lounge
chairs in the water below our patio – one step closer to the resort’s main
pool.
It had been a long day and I wasn’t feeling like a big swim.
Instead, I showered and took a nap before dinner.
We were having dinner the first night at Generation’s Wine
Kitchen Restaurant. It was a menu filled with small plates, and, of course,
lots of wine.
It was a very relaxing atmosphere and there was even a water
view from our table at
Generations Resort
.
We started with a tasting of a watermelon and cheese bite,
followed by fresh vegetables on flatbread, carpaccio and shrimp linguine for
Roberta, and soup and risotto for me.
Like the courses, the desserts were small. We weren’t
complaining as we had plenty to eat and were close to falling asleep.
