EL CUYO, MEXICO

TUCKED AWAY ON MEXICO'S NORTHERN YUCATAN COAST WHERE THE TURQUOISE OF THE CARIBBEAN HITS THE GULF OF MEXICO, SITS EL CUYO. I LOVE IT. YOU ACCESS EL CUYO BY A SLIM ROAD THAT CROSSES THE SALT FLATS, COVERED IN FLOCKS OF FLAMINGOS. EL CUYO IS SO RELAXED, NO ONE WEARS SHOES, THE STREETS ARE SOFT WHITE SAND. IT WAS AS BEAUTIFUL AS SISAL, BUT WITH SOME BEAUTIFUL RESTAURANTS AND REALLY COOL PEOPLE WHO HAVE MOVED THERE FROM OTHER PARTS OF MEXICO. I STAYED AT SARA'S BEACH HOUSE, CASA OMERO, IT WAS PERFECT AND SARA WAS AMAZING. EL CUYO HAS SUCH A RELAXED ATMOSPHERE, IT IS EASY TO ARRANGE A MASSEUSE TO COME TO THE HOUSE, AND WE GOT POKE TATTOOS DONE IN A LOCAL GIRLS COLOURFUL STUDIO. I WAS SAD TO LEAVE.
