Hats off to you Mexico! Our third time, and at this visit we stayed at Karisma group's gourmet food-centric all-inclusive Sensatori Azul Beach Resort in Cancun. A much-needed week break after a busy March school break to replenish, rejuvenate and pamper the senses. Great weather, great eats, fam time, me time... 🌞😋😎 So grateful for you sun!
A huge gracias shout out goes to my pal Gregory Tom from Greg Tom's TravelOnly for recommending and booking yet another fabulous accommodation and trip for our family. Salud! 🍻

My daily breakfast plate at the buffet Spoons World Cuisine restaurant usually consisted of a customized omelet, side sausages or roasted pork belly, beans, grilled mushrooms, and a huge cup of coffee :D
In a sunnier part, with sunnier pets...
Even when I'm relaxing and reading, it's still about food. And just so happens I am coming off cooking dim sum too lol...
Beach BBQ underway every day, so glorious the sights and smells...
A melange of sorts to feast on for lunch...
Such pretty pops of red sun umbrellas against the clear azure blue water and pastel blue skies.
Our first a la carte dinner night at Tapaz Spanish restaurant.

| Sharing plates of charcuterie, cheese, olives and bread, and a salad with citrus vinaigrette. |
Shredded pork and olives on sweet potato rounds, four cheese mac and cheese, and grilled salmon with fennel sauce.
Mojito mojo! Quatro traditional mini desserts to complete the meal.
It's beach boot camp time!
A Swinging Bar literally :D
Having one on one time with my youngest Matias.
So many delicious cocktails to choose from that can easily be made into mocktails.
My son sipping a Superman, and me and my Mai Tai.
It's as much about the food as it is the ambience to set the mood. Caribbean flavours and fresh seafood meet in this stunning eats (Zavaz) for some tropical, and fish- & crustacean-loving gourmet in you 🐙🦐🐟😋🍽

The twins loved their beef tenderloin and grilled veggies.
Finally a family shot.
The boyz...
Mama and her crazy cubs...
Can't beat morning yoga under the Mayan Sun 🌞.
Taking flight and making most of life... In life, you must learn how to F.L.Y (First Love Yourself). Be it a way of life, or an escape for the mind, body and soul, whereever you are, whatever you do, always carve some time to give yourself love, care and light..💖🌅🙏...

Beach and sand time...
Dinner at Siena Italian Restaurant started with beef carpaccio followed by seafood linguine.
My youngest enjoying his pasta but complaining the table habanero salsa was not spicy enough.
Headed into town, charming Puerto Morelos between the Riviera Maya resorts of Cancun and Playa del Carmen, which retains some of its original fishing village character. The Puerto Morelos Reef National Park has many offshore dive sites and we did a bit of snorkelling there.
So picturesque! Such a beautiful clear day to go offshore...

We were not ogling at the lady bending down. #coincidinkshot lol
Large pieces of fried pork rind (chicarron) for sale in a local gourmet supermarket. YUM!

Back into the resort for our last supper, and yay it's Mexican at Zocalo!

| Ola amigos and gracias Mexico! |
From top left clockwise: cactus (nopales) salad, mini gorditas (thick tortilla pastry) stuffed with stewed pork rind, grilled skirt steak and potato stuffed taquitos and battered shrimp tacos.
Sweet finale of cinnamon sugared churros dipped in chocolate, and fried dough balls served with passion fruit sauce and cream.
Til we meet again Mexico and the Mayan Sun 🌞, we will deeply treasure the moments & memories!
