Wine and Spirits Travel

The weather was still bringing a little bit of rain to Riviera Maya, but I was seeing plenty of this region’s beauty through three of the area’s top all-inclusives. I started the day with breakfast in the World Café at Secrets Maroma where you can literally get anything imaginable.  One of the chefs saw me looking at the Chilaquiles (fried squares of tortillas in sauce with green sauce and cheese), and when I asked if there was any without meat they said they would go make me some.

We passed by Puerto Morales, a small fishing village, to the other side of  Riviera Maya . As soon as we arrived I realized this place was different. This boutique resort reminded me a bit of Royal Plantation , which I had visited a number of years ago, but it appeared to be even more intriguing thanks to the artwork the owners had picked up around the world.
