Get ready to put a big checkmark on your bucket list! While visiting The Westin Lagunamar Ocean Resort, a trip to Chichén Itzá is a must-do. These Mayan ruins are home to one of the New Seven Wonders of the World, the Kukulcan pyramid, or El Castillo. People from all over the world travel to this ancient religious and cultural hub to gaze upon the massive stepped pyramids and stately temples. You'll be transported back through the history of Mexico as you take in the detailed architecture that dates back to 750 AD.

For a truly unforgettable experience, I recommend visiting the ruins on either equinox (March 21 or Sept. 21). Be there at 3 p.m. to see the sunlight shine on the pyramid's north side, creating seven triangles of light and shadow — giving shape to the body of a slithering serpent! Contact us today so we can help you plan your visit to one of the most historically significant sites in Mexico.

There’s so much to see and do in Cancún, but that doesn’t mean you should miss out on all the ways to relax like a pro.

Heavenly Spa by Westin^TM, right at the resort, is the perfect way for Guests to treat themselves to a wide menu of massages, body treatments, salon services and more, all in the hands of skilled therapists.

One of my favorite treatments is the Decongestant Massage, which elevates your spa experience by having healing essential oils and natural plant extracts applied in specific areas to release tension. And be sure to book a massage on the beach to float off into relaxation as you listen to the calming sounds of the surf. Reservations are recommended.

When I'm in the mood for a laid-back day of exploration and relaxation, I love to get away to the beautiful blue Caribbean waters at Isla Mujeres. It is said that the island was once the sanctuary for Ixchel, the Mayan goddess of fertility, reason, medicine, happiness, and the moon. Sail in a catamaran and spend the day at a relaxing beach club. With the option to take a private tour or a regular tour, allow us to tailor this experience to whatever kind of adventure you are hoping to find on your upcoming trip to Cancún.

Some people don't particularly enjoy leisurely browsing through museums, but what if we told you the exhibits at this museum are underwater? Once you're suited up in your scuba gear, dive in to the waters of the Caribbean where you'll be face-to-face with more than 470 life-size original sculptures and bustling marine ecosystems. A visit to the astonishing MUSA (Museo Subacuático de Arte) reveals a ghostly lost world, one unlike anything you've experienced before.

This surprising twist on a normal museum visit is something unique to Mexico, and one of my personal favorites. Its beauty takes my breath away every time. Contact us today so we can assist you in scheduling your dive into the world of art, history and nature.
