Enjoy the Mexican Caribbean with your Besties!

7th February 2019 by happyaddress

True friendship is the greatest treasure anyone can enjoy. Having close and loyal people around whom we can depend on gives us emotional wellbeing, joy, trust, and is also good for our overall health.

In this fast-paced world, making time to reactivate friendships or to nurture new found special attachments can prove difficult. That’s why finding alternative options like a best friend trip, far away from daily endeavors, to a vibrant and cool destination, will turn up in an unforgettable experience for you. Have you thought about the Mayan Riviera?

Cancun, Playa del Carmen, and Tulum are the most popular destinations in the Mexican Caribbean. Each one has a unique identity and characteristics. While Cancun is pure fun and adventure with a lot of people, Playa is a cool and bohemian multicultural city, where you can always throw a party, Tulum is all peace and tranquility, close to Nature and the ancient spirit of the Maya people. Where would you like to go with your besties?

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner. However, no matter the season, there are always good reasons to plan an escapade. Although there are many hotels and condos here, only with Happy Address will you have a unique experience, away from chain hotels and all-inclusive packages. Check out the luxury condos we offer!

24th January 2019 by happyaddress

There are many reasons to be grateful for love everyday. However, to carry on the tradition, it’s always a good idea to enjoy a romantic escapade to celebrate Valentine’s Day. Is there a better option than the Mayan Riviera?

There are a lot of hotels and condos here, but for this special occasion we want you to have a unique experience, far away from chain hotels and all-inclusive packages. Happy Address offers luxury condos in Cancún, Playa del Carmen, and Tulum.

The Mexican Caribbean is a great romantic destination. It’s the very first option for many couples to get married or celebrate their anniversary. Nevertheless, we don’t need a special reason to celebrate love at the beach and to enjoy the beautiful view of the ocean and the sunset, while we take a romantic stroll by the sea.

Happy Address also provides additional services to guarantee your satisfaction: private chef, massages, babysitting, and grocery shopping, so you can focus all your attention on having a good time and a great Valentine’s Day.

February is just around the corner. What are you waiting for to celebrate love in the Mayan Riviera? At Happy Address we are waiting for you.

The Mayan Riviera is for kids too!

10th January 2019 by happyaddress

If you want to visit the Mayan Riviera with your family, we want to let you know that you would guarantee them one of the happiest trips of their lives. Not only will they enjoy one of the most beautiful beaches of the world, but they also will find a lot of activities which will turn into unforgettable experiences.

If you come to Playa del Carmen o Tulum, you can take a tour to a nearby cenote or explore the mangroves by kayak. Swimming with dolphins is also an option. Whatever you decide is a great choice and will make your children feel very close to Nature.

If you want to visit an amusement park with a wide variety of activities to choose from, here are two options:

Xcaret

This natural park is the most famous of the region. Here you can swim or take a raft tour through underground rivers, as well as learn about the local traditions and cuisine, which have been recognized as Intangible Cultural Heritage by UNESCO. Go to Xcaret’s website here.

Located in Puerto Morelos, this is a unique zoo: not only can you feed the animals, but you also are allowed to touch them and hold them in your arms. If you’re brave enough, you can also walk safely among crocodiles. Go to Croco Cun Zoo’s website here.

We encourage you not to stay in a chain hotel, look for a condo instead where you and your family can feel at ease. Besides your privacy, safety and peace, if you stay at any Happy Address accommodation, you can count on additional services such as private chef, concierge, nanny, and so much more available to make sure your family is safe and having a great time in the Mexican Caribben.

1. La Bamba Jarocha

At the corner of 36th North St. & 30th North Ave.
Here you will delight in traditional cuisine from Veracruz and the Gulf of Mexico, even though you’re visiting the Caribbean.

2. La Fishería

5th Ave., between 20th St. & 22nd St.
Try the fried fish with lemon and habanero chilis, the lobster and shrimp pizza, and the tuna fish tostadas. They will exceed your expectations. La Fishería’s vibe is very cool and the place is nice and splendidly decorated. Without a doubt, this is a good place to enjoy a great meal.

3. Los Aguachiles
