MEXICO...La Vita e Bella

Life is truly beautiful at our home away from home...the Riviera Maya in Mexico is not just a vacation spot to our family...it is a magical place where we have shared many special moments as a couple, with dear friends, as a family of three and now as a family of four.

This is a place where we have made many memories and dreams have come true...It is home of the most beautiful beach in the world...considered one of the TOP TEN... and we agree!!!

Angelo and I first discovered this little piece of paradise in 2002...we fell in love with the ocean and we went back again and again and again. This ocean in Tulum is beyond spectacular, turquoise blue crystal clear water and powder white sand.

There are no big hotels on this strip and the locals are fighting hard to keep it this way...God bless them.

This is truly a virgin beach and the ambiance is slow, relaxed and rustic...a great place to chill...and my girls are great at chilling!!!

There is an Italian restaurant on our favorite spot called "LA VITA E BELLA". It is owned by an couple from Italy. The food is great and the restaurant has been built on a sand floor...no shoes required. There are hammock swings everywhere and you can dine right on the beach...enjoying the beautiful view and ocean air.

Our Vacation was short but sweet...fun was had by all!!!

Angel had a wonderful time as usual, she has been to Mexico 5 times already. She loves the ocean and participated in several shows back at the hotel. We got to see a
Disney show that included her favorite Princess "SNOW WHITE" and Georgia's favorite character "WINNIE THE POOH" imagine this we had the best of both worlds...Vita Bella during the day and our all inclusive 5 star resort the rest of the time. KUNG FU PANDA was also in the show and Angel really enjoyed this because it was "CHINESE"

Seeing our dear friends Rita, Luis and Basti was AMAZING...we miss them already.

Georgia handle her first trip away from home like a champ...she is so adaptable...thank God. She loved everything, the pool, the beach, the hammocks, the sand, the food, the room, the shows...I mean everything!!!

I love the fact that we got to go away and spend time just the four of us as a family, it was wonderful.

Now here are a few (well many) pictures of our two little flowers bringing even more beauty to our Vita Bella.


























AS TA LA VISTA BABY...WE'LL BE BACK!!!

The Hotel is in Riviera Maya, it is The Bahia Principe Akumal. The beach is about twenty minutes away by car. We usually rent a car but you can go by taxi as well...it is so worth the drive. If anyone does plan to go e-mail me and I can really set you up with the hotel staff...we have made some very special friends there.
