Excellence Playa Mujeres

Friday, November 27th, 2009

The Excellence Playa Mujeres resort in Cancun is a beautiful property.

The property is laid out with many clusters of gathering opportunities. You can choose from secluded palapas, hammocks hanging over the pool, pool side terrace lounges or beach chairs. There is the meandering “river” pool which flows under two of the beach side restaurants and is complete with a pool bar. There is also a spa pool which is not to be missed. (more…)
