Although Mexico offers many local spirits worth sipping, no trip south of the border is complete with out a taste of Tequila. A big thirst quenching taste. And on a a recent visit to the Riviera Maya I received more than my taste. During my stay at Hacienda Tres Rios, I attended a Tequila tasting […]

Where to Stay – Hacienda Tres Rios, Riviera Maya, Mexico
by Craig Zabransky on October 24, 2011 in Mexico Travel, Where to Stay?
The world’s top resorts and resort brands line the beaches of the Riviera Maya. I know I toured many. And I plan to stay at a few on my next trips to the region especially as Stay Luxurious takes off next year. But even so, I am sure I will always recommend Hacienda Tres Rios […]
The Mayan Magic of Mexico and Me
by Craig Zabransky on September 7, 2011 in Destination, Films, Mexico Travel
Recently I was asked the very difficult question, “What was your most memorable trip?” Too difficult to select just one, my answer is often, “well, it depends,” and then I rattle of a few destinations. But even with a long list of adventures worthy of a video, I needed to give Wanderfly one destination and one […]
The Perfect Place to Daydream, Riviera Maya.
by stayadventurous on November 19, 2010 in Beach, Destination, Mexico Travel
Often times, when in Mexico conversation commences about other Mexican destinations. Comparisons – yes, but also (and mostly) about how we all appreciate the country, the culture and the cuisine. I found myself talking about the Riviera Maya yesterday, and as much as I enjoy the adventure of exploring the cenotes, discovering my senses, eating […]
The Cenote Swim at Hacienda Tres Rios
by Craig Zabransky on September 20, 2010 in Destination, Mexico Travel
I took off my life-preserver device and decided to dive. A deep breath and I left the surface to swim towards the bottom. Not very deep, only a few meters down, I touched, turned and planned to return to the surface. I looked up. Magical. Sunbeams penetrated the clear crisp water and shined on my […]
Seamless, Sustainable Green Travel at Hacienda Tres Rios
by Craig Zabransky on September 14, 2010 in Destination, Mexico Travel, Stay Luxurious
The shuttle van turned off the highway and stopped at the gate to enter Hacienda Tres Rios. We arrived. The private path to the main hotel entrance might be considered a touch more “natural” than others, but when you arrive at the main reception area, no doubt exists. You booked a luxury resort. At first […]
Coming to my Senses in the Riviera Maya
by Craig Zabransky on September 7, 2010 in Destination, Mexico Travel
I reached for the large brown crayon. Not sure how to put the experience into words I started to draw. As we all opened our eyes after the Sense Adventure the guide asked us to share our thoughts on a blank comment card. And although we all experienced the same stimulation, we all reacted differently. […]
Green, the new color of Travel?
by Craig Zabransky on February 22, 2010 in Destination, Mexico Travel
Green; the color of money (in the US), the color of envy? the color of energy? Maybe all three? Maybe you have none? But actually ‘green’ also seems to be becoming the color of travel. Words like “sustainability,” “organic” and “eco-tourism” are more and more prevalent each and every day. We all read them on travel websites […]
