It was my third day as a guest of Karisma Hotels in Riviera Maya and I couldn’t have been more relaxed. Every morning my friend Roberta and I had talked about breakfast at one of the Generations or El Dorado restaurants. The room service options were just so convenient, included in the all-inclusive plan, and offered many delicious choices we couldn’t resist indulging in breakfast in bed. I started my day with a veggie-filled omelet, fruit, a croissant, and coffee. Roberta went to explore the El Dorado Riviera Maya properties and do some shopping while I relaxed. I was nursing an ankle injury so I was content to relax on one of the lounge chairs in the water behind our swim-up suite. When she returned, we ventured out for the short swim to the bar for some drinks. It was a beautiful day and the water felt great in the hot sun. We didn’t want to leave the pool area so we just ordered lunch from Palms Gourmet Terrace. I had loved their carnitas taco
