Tulum Mexico - Mayan gem by the sea


We just came from our caribbean cruise on Carnival Cruises. One of the stop on the cruise was Cozumel, Mexico where we took a tour to see ancient Mayan Pyramids of Tulum. The name comes from the Yucatec Mayan word for fence or wall (or trench), as the walls surrounding the site allowed the Tulum fort to serve as a defense against invasion. Many of the tour guides, including our are of the native Mayan decent, and take pride of their rich history. That made this tour especially interesting. Another great thing about Tulum is it's location, right by the Caribbean Sea - the views are just great. It also in the easy reach of Playa del Carmen and many other Mexican resorts. Higly recommend, and if you are traveling on the budget check how affordable vacation can be when booked on www.cheap-caribbean.net

The Cayman Islands Best Beaches


Located 480 miles south of Miami, the Cayman Islands are world renowned for their diving, snorkeling, and beautiful beaches. While great shops, restaurants, and entertainment can be found in the Caymans, visitors return here year after year for the remarkable beaches and the treasures of the blue sea that lies just beneath them.

Seven Mile Beach

Caribbean beaches don't get much better than Seven Mile Beach. The powdery white sands here are free of litter & souvenir hawkers, and are set against a backdrop of resorts, beach bars, restaurants, and shops.

Resorts on this beach include the island’s only all inclusive, Beach Club Colony Hotel, the upscale Westin Casuarina Resort & Spa, and the smoke-free Comfort Suites & Resort Grand Cayman for the budget-minded.

Rum Point

Rum Point is a secluded beach of white sand located 25 miles north of Georgetown. Although it can't compare to the spectacular Seven Mile Beach, this excellent tree-shaded beach has tranquil, clear waters that teem with rainbow-hued fish, making it a great spot for snorkeling.

Point of Sand

The Best Beach on Little Cayman: Point of Sand, at the southeastern tip of Little Cayman, is the best beach on the island, with a strip of luminescent pink sand. This spot is also ideal for snorkeling. On many weekdays you'll have much of the beach to yourself.
