Set Your Current Location: Paradise

October 20, 2014 By Lena

Well, technically it’s *my* current location, and that’s why I’ve been offline for a few days.

HOLA AMIGOS! Greetings from the Azul Fives Hotel, by Karisma in the beautiful Mayan Riviera, Mexico.
Azul FivesFeaturing the renowned Karisma Gourmet Inclusive Experience concept, the Azul Fives Hotel, by Karisma features oversized, luxurious, tastefully designed 1, 2 and 3 bedroom suites, private rooftop lounge decks in penthouse suites as well as an upscale, all-service spa. The hotel is strategically located in Playa del Carmen on the Riviera Maya, Mexico, just 35 minutes south of Cancun International Airport. 

Full disclosure: these are press photos. Because I have two little boys, and our room looked like a tornado hit it about 10 minutes after we arrived. However, luckily I have access to pictures of the exact room we are staying in. Use your imagination and picture me sprawled out on the bed with my laptop. This is my suite.
Azul FivesAzul FivesAzul FivesAzul FivesYou know what? Scratch that mental image. Because I’ve just taken my laptop and am currently blogging from the balcony.
Azul FivesLater, we’ll make our way back to the breathtaking infinity pool, which overlooks the beach. And at that point, I’ll stash my electronics away, as I’ve been doing for the past two days :)
Azul FivesFor now… the beach is calling… and my cup is empty. Una cerveza, por favor!

    I have been following your pictures, it has been difficult, the weather here is not conducive to sitting by any pool.

    Wow! Azul Fives Hotel is stunning! I can’t believe how beautiful your suite was! We’ve been to Mexico one time but our hotel didn’t look anything like yours! I can’t wait to read about the other 26 reasons to book with Transat Holidays if this was reason #27 :)
