Romantic Cancun

Description:

It's hard to imagine a place more romantic than the Caribbean. There are things for every couple to enjoy here -- fascinating ancient Mayan history, amazing ecological conservation programs and parks, and more ways to play in the water than you could every dream up. And, of course, great ways to relax, too.

Day Note:

There are many all-inclusive resorts in the Cancun area, but Le Blanc is one of the few that is truly worth every penny. The service here is beyond outstanding, and the food at all of the on-site restaurants is great. There are several tours included, as well as food, drinks, spa treatments, and lovely welcome packages, and of course use of their private beach and several pools. After you've checked into the hotel and gotten settled in, head to the hotel spa...read more

    There is a reason why this restaurant is on virtually everyone's recommended list. Intricate Mexican tile leads you in to a magnificent tropical dining room, split by a flowing stream, and lush with exotic plants and fauna. Situated right on the water, Laguna Grill is a satisfying experience from the moment you enter, but enchanting as the restaurant is, the real showstopper is the kitchen. Chef Alex Rudin's use of fresh seasonal ingredients keeps the menu ever changing, but always innovative. Choices like Shrimp Ceviche in a spicy Oriental sauce and Lobster and Truffle Lasagna are just a few examples of how the cuisine does not know countries, only flavors. Desserts are equally imaginative and the Pineapple-Papaya Strudel bathed in Malibu Rum Sauce is pure ecstasy.
