Visit Valladolid:

Don’t miss the chance to spend a few days in this quaint and vibrant little town.  The friendly locals and colorful streets will draw you in and the amazing regional cuisine, and incredible sights will ensure you have a trip to remember.  Only 2 hours from Cancun it’s the ideal antidote to loud beach parties and crowded all inclusive resorts.  Settle into a slice of history and see another side of the Yucatán Peninsula.  Here’s a list of my must do during your visit to Valladolid.

Stay in the colonial boutique hotel Hotel Posada San Juan. As soon as we set foot in the welcoming boutique hotel we felt right at home. Each corner was adorned with traditional decor and an added dash of modern style. Although the building feels like stepping back in time, decadent guest rooms have been updated and offer all you would expect at a five star property. We loved the abundance of terraces and breezy outdoor dining areas alongside a refreshing swimming pool and lush gardens. Delight in their home cooked breakfast and fragrant coffee on the ambient tiled patio each morning. Dip into the inviting, lush pool after a day of exploring and admire the historic architecture and vibrant gardens.

Spend a morning at the Mercado Municipal and their rustic fruit and vegetable market across the road.  Tempt your taste buds with local fruits, vegetables, and spices and take home ingredients to create your own cochinita pibil.  Treat the kids to the home made marzipan, meringues, and don’t miss the addictive sweet and sour tamarind candy.  Grab ingredients for a Yucatan cooking class at Posada San Juan and learn the techniques for the region’s signature dishes.

Take a stroll along the pastel hued Calzada de Los Frailes and browse the bohemian shops and artisanal wares.  Stop at an eclectic quaint cafe for a cup of horchata or cheesy empanada or peruse the museum for a mini history lesson.

Don’t miss tasting the Yucatan cuisine at Loncheria El Amigo Casiano, located in the town’s former bus station. For a modern twist, try dinner and cocktails at Casa Conato Cultural or Idilio Folklore Cervecero.

Take a day trip to the magnificent Chichen Itza and see one of the world’s most famous Mayan Ruins.  Grab a memorable souvenir from one of the many market vendors on your way out and head a few minutes down the road for a refreshing dip in the crystal clear Cenote Ik Il.

Immerse with the locals and soak in the colours of the sunset in the picture perfect town square. Buy a mouthwatering Nutella filled marquesita from a rickety cart and snap a photo in front of the historic cathedral. Find a rooftop bar as the sky turns dark and taste a few mezcals under the stars.

Canopy by Hilton offers five star luxury at the heart of Cancun’s popular hotel zone.  Surrounded by picturesque beaches, a lively shopping centre, huge variety of eateries, and access to tours around the Quintana Roo, the welcoming boutique hotel is perfect a jumping off point for your family vacation.  We loved getting away from the hustle and bustle of all inclusive resorts and step into a stylish and relaxed experience.  The staff at Canopy by Hilton were consistently helpful in booking taxis, making reservations, and giving advice about how to optimise our trip and we felt right at home in our spacious and decadent guest room.  We enjoyed the modern amenities including a fully equipped gym, stunning rooftop pool and jacuzzi, and even a mezzanine area where we could work or unwind with a book.  The gourmet buffet breakfast each morning incorporated regional specialities and a made to order egg station, and the hotel is even connected to a sprawling outdoor shopping center where you’ll find all your usual chain shops, eclectic spots to buy souvenirs and a wide array of restaurants and bars.  Only a 10 minute walk away is one of the most stunning beaches in hotel zone and just a short taxi ride will take you to all the area’s popular beaches.  You can easily discover somewhere new each day or hop on a ferry to a surrounding island for a fun day trip.  We loved this option while staying in Cancun as it gave us the opportunity to acquaint fully with the city and regional sights over just staying at a single beach resort.  A great choice for families, couples or solo travelers craving five star luxury and service alongside amazing location and amenities.

Modern five star luxury at the heart of Cancun, and offering one of the best all inclusive packages in the area.  We loved staying with the trusted Hilton Cancun, at their grand beachfront property.  Our spacious suite boasted stunning panoramic views, enough space for us and our children, a comfortable and cozy separate lounge, and breezy balcony perfect for room service breakfasts.  The stylish sea facing infinity pool was an idyllic spot to spend sunny days and our children couldn’t get enough of the lively splash pad and interactive fully staff kids club.  Dining options were a true highlight of our stay with not only a mouthwatering buffet but a plethora of a la carte resruants to keep foodies satisfied.  We highly recommend the authentic Mexican fare at Maxal, poolside Al Pastor tacos, and the insanely delicious steaks at The Grill.  Service was impeccable from kind housekeeping, to accommodating bar staff, and informative concierge and front desk.  A perfect choice for families or friends looking for a safe and luxurious getaway where you can relax and unwind on your dream Caribbean holiday.

Our first time in Venice Beach and we absolutely fell in love. Our day was spent walking around the canals, exploring bohemian shops on Abbott Kinney Blvd, people watching along the boardwalk, and checking out the local eats. Hotel Erwin was an ideal base, located right next to the iconic Venice Beach sign and only a block from the beach. We loved the huge suites featuring a separate lounge and dining area as well as ocean views from the open balcony.  Their staff have all the best tips and even discounts for guests at nearby spas, restaurants, and electric scooter rental in the neighbourhood. One of our favourite areas in LA.
