Mexico captivates with its idyllic Caribbean beaches, fascinating Mayan culture, and a zest for life that permeates the entire country. This page contains all of miles-around's Mexico articles: personal travelogues and reviews from a family vacation on the Yucatán Peninsula in the summer of 2025.
Included are the trip report for Condor Premium Economy Class on the Airbus A330neo from Frankfurt to Cancún – one of the most modern long-haul aircraft in the Condor fleet – as well as a detailed hotel review of the Ocean Riviera Paradise in Playa del Carmen, a five-star all-inclusive resort on the Riviera Maya. Also included are a review of The Lounge Cancún in Terminal 4 before the return flight and a comprehensive travelogue with highlights and tips for a rental car tour through Yucatán – from Cancún through Tulum, Valladolid, and the Mayan ruins to the highlights of the peninsula. The articles are aimed at families and couples who want to discover Mexico independently and in comfort.
Mexico had long appealed to us – sun, culture, joie de vivre, and impressive Mayan ruins. In the summer of 2025, we fulfilled this dream and explored the Yucatán Peninsula independently by rental car. A road trip through Mexico is surprisingly straightforward and safe – perfect for flexibly discovering the highlights of Yucatán, Tulum, Valladolid, and beyond. Fascinating Mayan sites, colorful colonial cities, turquoise seas, and countless unforgettable experiences awaited us.
Before our return flight to Germany, we took the opportunity to relax once more at Cancún Airport. Terminal 4 is home to The Lounge Cancún (Air Transat). After check-in and security, we looked for a place to spend our last few hours in Mexico relaxing away from the hustle and bustle of the terminal. Read our review to find out whether the lounge lived up to our expectations.
Dreamy beaches, a tropical flair, and a massive all-inclusive package – the Ocean Riviera Paradise in Playa del Carmen promises a relaxing summer vacation full of enjoyment. But how good is this five-star resort really? In our review, we'll take you on a journey: from booking and arrival to the rooms, restaurants, and breakfast, as well as the diverse leisure and recreational options. Whether you're a family vacation, an adults-only guest, or a Privilege guest – we'll show you what awaits you at the Ocean Riviera Paradise and where the resort still has room for improvement.
