Finally, an opportunity for a return trip turned up, and I was almost giddy with anticipation.

The visit began the way all vacations should with a boat ride to our room.

Soon, we stepped onto the small dock that led to one of Rosewoods Wellness Suites.

The two-level suites include a well-stocked bar, coffee center, dining room, and living room downstairs.

Rosewood Mayakoba features 129suites, including two, three, and four bedroom accommodations and private residences.

Its a warm, lively, and fun event not to be missed during a stay at the resort.

Scott quickly became involved and began his wholehearted support of the school.

Rosewood Mayakobas involvement means more than financial support.
