Despite my efforts trying to stay on the Isla, we ended up taking the ferry and heading to Cancun. That did not make me happy at all, but I got over it in about 32 hours :). We found a hotel in Cancun’s Hotel Zone, about 20 min drive from the airport. We had a […]

NA BALAM HOTEL, ISLA MUJERES (MX)
The way we ended up going to Mexico was totally random. I was looking for hair straighteners on Groupon(found a good one!) and somehow got curious on Groupon Travel so started browsing around. Once the word yoga was mentioned on one of the resorts in Mexico I was immediately interested. I convinced my husband that […]
SOFITEL PHILADELPHIA
We stayed in this hotel once before and had a good experience so it was easy to pick it again. The location is superb right in the heart of the Center City. Within a block or two I got few favorites of mine such as the Philadelphia Chutney Company (delicious dosas), Capogiro (dairy-free gelato) and Hip City […]

SOKOS HOTEL HELSINKI REVIEW
Our third hotel in Helsinki was Sokos Hotel Helsinki located right in the city center. We had a junior suite with separate living room and a balcony facing the courtyard which was nice. This was the first suite we checked, but didn’t end up staying there. This was the suite we picked because it had […]
