It was fabulous!We went to the same area (Cozumel & Tulum) on our Honeymoon, and loved it so much that we were excited to get back there!
Plus, I got a great deal at an All-Inclusive Resort...so Jordan was ExTrA happy about that! 
We'd never been to an AI before, but decided that we LOVED it! We never once pulled our wallet out while we were at the resort! 
Meals, drinks, activities, and even tips were included in the price we had already paid! It was wonderful!While in Mexico, we decided we would not let the humidity deter us from an excursion to the Mayan ruins of Chichen Itza!
And, although the humidity did nearly kill us while walking around the jungle ruins, we we were so glad that we went!
It was so awesome to see the cities these Nephite/Lamanite descendants built, and the detail they put into everything. 
We could still clearly see the ornate carvings in the stone of jaguars, eagles, skulls, etc. 
It was awesome...we HIGHLY recommend it to anyone going...we also HIGHLY recommend NOT going in August!In addition to leaving the resort to go to Chichen Itza, we also left for a day to go visit Isla Mujeres...The Island of Women!
It's a teeny, tiny island off the coast of Cancun and it was beautiful! 
The south end of the island is a National Marine Preserve, but costs $35/person for admission. 
So we asked the local golf cart rental salesman if there were any other options, and he steered us to a locally owned snorkeling "park." 
We had so much fun snorkeling around the reef, and even saw several LARGE barracudas (which wasn't so fun for me, but Jordan loved it)! 
I must admit that the water in this area of Mexico is a prettier aqua blue and more clear than the water's I've seen in Hawaii...and that's saying alot, since I think my heart truely lies in the Aloha State!
All in all...it was an awesome belated Anniversary celebration! I'd go back to Mexico anyday...but preferably next time, it wont be in August!

Oh, and yes....when people would see our pics of the ocean there they thought we photo shopped how blue the water is....it really is that blue and gorgeous....we went on an ocean kayak and you could see to the bottom.....SO SO pretty!
J-E-A-L-O-U-S is all I can say.
