GRAND SIRENIS' MAYAN RUIN - AUTHENTIC!

DO YOU HAVE A PICTURE OF YOURSELF IN FRONT OF THE GRAND SIRENIS' MAYA RUIN?

Grand Sirenis' Mayan Ruin
is officially authentic!

We are proud to announce that the Mayan ruin, Xaac, located at Grand Sirenis Riviera Maya has been officially certified as an authentic piece of history by the National Institute of Anthropology and History. Named after the Mayan word for ‘fear’, the Xaac temple was used as a light house facility for merchants navigating from Central America to the Gulf of Mexico during the Post classic–late period (AD 1200 -1550). Though much smaller than the structures found in the Tulum Ruins, the Xaac temple is the only other ancient, pre- Hispanic structure in the area. This captivating Ruin has been the backdrop of countless photos to Sirenis guests, as well as to brides and grooms who have taken advantage of the wedding packages offered at Grand Sirenis Riviera Maya.

LONDON

Brent, Jennifer, Richard, Lisa and their families just returned from London!

London is a great destination for families to explore.

Here is Jennifer's review of their vacation:

Denise--

Thank you! We had a great time.

As far as the hotel, the London Marriott Hotel Kennsington worked out great for our family, and I would totally recommend it to anyone. Although they could not accommodate us with an early check-in, they did store our bags for us, which they were doing for many others as well! Our room was extremely clean and they provided us with ample towels and wash cloths each day. The junior suite and access to the executive lounge was perfect for our family. We had access to breakfast in the lounge or the hotel restaurant, which became our go-to choice, each morning. The lounge always had a refrigerator stocked with water that we could go in and grab whenever we wanted. They also served appetizers each evening and desserts as well. It saved us money on food and snacks! The hotel was also conveniently located between 2 Tube stops, which made getting around really easy. It also had easy access to Heathrow via the Earl's Court station. We actually rode the Tube to and from Heathrow with our kids and our luggage and made it!

Things we did: a hop-on, hop-off bus tour, Tower of London, Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace, British Museum, Harry Potter Warner Brothers Studio, Madame Tussaud's, Kensington Palace, National Gallery, National Portrait Gallery, Westminster Abbey, London Eye and St. Paul's Cathedral. 

We also attended the Queen's birthday parade, so our famly got a glimpse of the royal family. Probably our favorite site was Windsor Castle. We were able to tour the state apartments there, and it was fabulous! Windsor is also a neat little town with some cool shopping. We would have spent more time there if we could have.

All of us travelled to Paris by Eurostar one day as well.

We were tired each day but had a blast!

Thank you so much for all of your help in planning our trip
