Our flight left fairly early on Sunday after the wedding for our honeymoon. DG and I had never been out of the country before so we were really excited! We flew into Charlotte and had a quick layover until our flight to Cancun.
We got in earlier than our check-in time, so we went down to the beach and grabbed lunch by the pool.
My lunch on repeat was this awesome cheese pizza. It had mozzarella, brie, and blue cheese.
We did a lot of lounging by the beach that week. Our resort didn’t have a ton of umbrellas available by the pool or on the beach, so we would wake up early, go grab a cabana by the ocean, and then go get breakfast.
The views from our room were stunning and we spent most nights out on our balcony. It was an all-inclusive resort, so we ordered appetizers from room service and would go have later dinners in the restaurants.
By far, DG’s favorite restaurant was their hibachi restaurant. What’s ironic about that is he had never eaten at one before. If friends suggest us going to one in North Carolina, he turns his nose up. But now, he’s hooked! He also tried sushi for the first time while in Mexico. I almost didn’t know who he was anymore!
We were in Mexico for July 4th, and our resort had a 4th of July celebration.
For our last lunch, I tried fish tacos and they were delicious.
Our last night at the resort, we had dinner at the hibachi restaurant again for DG’s sake and spent time with our new friends. We were so sad to leave because we really had the best time relaxing and spending time together.
The resort we stayed in was small; it only had 7 floors and was completely surrounded by a lot of the major resorts, like Secrets and Hard Rock. We enjoyed that it was smaller because we did not have long waits for dinner or have a ton of problems finding seats at the pool or the beach. The only things we didn’t love was the lack of shade and the restaurant choices. There were 3 to choose from for dinner and then room service. The good news is that our resort hosted a lot of events each night, and let guests know the day before what the schedule would be. DG and I were able to plan accordingly for our dinners. I forgot our camera in the haste of packing for the honeymoon and we didn’t really take a ton of pictures. As I’ve mentioned before, I always kick myself later, but I can’t be upset that we weren’t concerned about that at the time.
We had perfect weather the entire time we were there. It only rained one day, and that was the day we went snorkling. That was the one time we left the resort and we really did have a good time doing that. I think DG had more fun than me though, because y’all know I was scared of becoming shark food.
On the way back from Cancun, we had a lay-over in Charlotte. From Charlotte to Raleigh, the airline lost my luggage. Cue anxiety for me because on the way down, my make-up remover busted all over my luggage. Luckily it didn’t ruin too many of my clothes, but I was petrified it would happen on the way back. But that didn’t happen and everything was fine once they found it!
Thank you so much for following along through our wedding and honeymoon! I appreciate all of your sweet comments and your positivity! Y’all are the best!
Glad you guys had a great time- the water looks so pretty and glad you loved the fish tacos- I actually had some last night! xo
We ate at the hibachi restaurant at our resort multiple times too–but here in NC my husband won't even entertain the idea of going to one. WHAT GIVES!?! hah
So jealous of your trip! The pictures look amazing! And that cheese pizza… OMG! Brie on a pizza definitely sounds perfect!

Sound like it was a blast!! Great pictures!!
I'm a bit biased but I think beach honeymoons are the best honeymoons 😉 Your resort looks/sounds amazing! Loving that white dress you're wearing on the 4th of July, so cute!
Honeymoons are the BEST!! Sounds like yours was wonderful and how great that DG tried new stuff out on the trip!! Fish tacos are amazing, made some on Sunday!
Look so relaxing…
I could sit & look at that view all day long on the ocean.
So pretty, what a perfect honeymoon. I loved the hibachi restaurant on ours too, and ate a Hawaiian pizza on repeat for lunch 😉
Looks like an amazing time!! I have never been to Mexico, but would love to!

Oh wow looks so fabulous! Bummer about the luggage – we had a similar issue going to Costa Rica!
Thank you so much for sharing your journey! It's been fun reading along! 🙂
Aww I love that! Happy honeymooning! Such fun. I'm sad that your posts are finished! BOO! Thank you so much for sharing your planning and wedding posts with us. I have loved them all.
These photos are gorgeous! And now I'm wishing I was on a beach instead of in the office! xo
I could eat fish tacos everyday! It's one of my favorite foods! Looks like a relaxing honeymoon.
