Take Me to the River – Hacienda Tres Rios

I hear the Talking Heads, "Take Me to the River" (click on the link, if you would like to hear the tune) in my head as I head to Hacienda Tres Rios (Tres Rios means 3 Rivers), in the Riviera Maya this week.

Over the past year I have developed a friendship on twitter with @TresRiosResort. We are very excited to be their guests this weekend and to share with you our adventures! Our itinerary is jam packed with all kinds of new experiences.

Hacienda Tres Rio was bestowed the honor of The Most Sustainable Resort Worldwide last weekend by  Green Globe International. It is a luxury all inclusive resort located about 45 minutes from the Cancun International Airport. Hacienda Tres Rios has 273 spacious suites surrounded by the 326 acre eocological  Tres Rios Nature Park with 1 mile of pristine beachfront. There are 3 rivers( as the name suggests), lush mangroves, 10 cenotes (natural wells) and much flora and fauna to be explored. The Hacienda boasts a 13,900 sq. ft spa and fitness center.  With 8 dining venues and 5 bars, we will surely find plenty of culinary delights to enjoy!


 I have my cell phone plan changed to allow me to tweet you our adventures. I am hoping it works this time, I had problems last year. If all else fails, there is wifi access in my suite.

 Here is what we have in store for us:

Name the Suite: Los Portales of Hacienda Tres Rios

   

 Los Portales is MY SUITE

 

 Hacienda Tres Rios is having a contest to name their new suite. They have chosen select travel professionals and travel bloggers to help them name their new connecting Ceiba Junior Suites. I am one of the lucky chosen ones! My mission is to get all my friends and followers to first FAN Hacienda Tres Rios then vote/Like  my suite on their Facebook page. If my suite receives the most LIKES/votes, I will win a 3 night stay!

Here is a bit about my suite name and the resort:

 

  TheTTTTthtatag The tagline of the Hacienda Tres Rios, an all-inclusive luxury resort in the 

 Riviera Maya, Mexico is:
Nature …Culture … Experience.
These are some of the key elements I seek when traveling and why I am excited to participate in the contest! The name of my almost 1300 sq. ft suite is Los Portales. Los Portales- VERY loosely translated- means a grand arched entrance, passage or doorway. It is a type of Colonial architecture found throughout Mexico,  the grand large arched entrances often found at haciendas in Mexico-very similar to this photo of the entrance of the hotel:
