Then you are off to play with mud. This mud has an extremely high level of healing minerals, which revive the skin while in the steam room.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Next up: a dry-heat wood sauna naturally detoxes your system. Then a cool room with ice crystals closes pores and activates your metabolism. A bubbling whirlpool dip is then followed by a contrasting plunge in a frigid polar pool.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/rsinspire\/20161130194307\/FullSizeRender17.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-18126 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/rsinspire\/20161130194307\/FullSizeRender17.jpg\" alt=\"Pediluvo in Cancun, Mexico\" width=\"853\" height=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The \u201cpediluvio\u201d pebbled walkway maze highlighted my experience by massaging my feet with soft pebbles and warm water jets. The cherry on the top of this hydrotherapy circuit is a dip in the \u201cpool of sensations,\u201d filled with bubbles, floor geysers, water cascades, and the oh-so-magical neck jets.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">I, myself, felt like an extremely valuable gem being polished to perfection. I am certain that all in my group of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/author\/astritt\/\">Gnational Gnomads<\/a> discovered Zen. I most definitely did.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The circuit was such a delight that I thought about skipping my massage\u2014but I came to my senses. I\u2019m glad I did, too, because the only thing better than those 10 circuits was those 10 circuits followed by a relaxing massage.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-18328 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/rsinspire\/20161206143939\/CancunZen_1280x768_0003_Rooftop-Pool.jpg\" alt=\"Rooftop Pool Scene in Cancun, Mexico\" width=\"960\" height=\"576\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><em><\/em><\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><strong>A rooftop pool. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">When you think of a hotel pool day in Mexico, your thoughts probably turn to loud music and crazy pool games.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">This is exactly the opposite of what I found at the <a href=\"http:\/\/lacoleccionresorts.com\/properties\/playa-del-carmen\/live-aqua\/\">Live Aqua Boutique<\/a> near Cancun in Playa Del Carmen, an amazing place to just be yourself, relax with friends, or enjoy a good book. Never before have I found a pool that had all my wants and desires, not only in mind, but actually nearby.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Like a good luxury traveler, I love a club floor. Even my daughter describes a club floor as my personal nirvana. This rooftop pool has all the important aspects of a club floor lounge and a heavenly view. As I gazed at <a href=\"http:\/\/lacoleccionresorts.com\/properties\/cozumel\/explorean-cozumel\/\">Cozumel<\/a> in the distance from a comfy lounge prepared by my pool butler, my only task was to decide if I wanted sushi or tapas (made fresh at the rooftop restaurant), a cocktail, a dip in the infinity pool, or all of the above.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">I chose the latter. Of course.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">This boutique hotel is perfection at every turn. If clouds come your way while up on the roof, ground yourself with a visit to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.liveaqua.com\/web\/live-aqua-boutique-resort-playa-del-carmen\/spa?content=site-info\">Feel Sense Spa by Live Aqua<\/a>. This intimate spot feels like your own private spa. Here, before your spa treatment, you can cocoon yourself with both the steam and dry sauna, with an ice feature to cool the senses.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/rsinspire\/20161206143951\/CancunZen_1280x768_0007_Gnome-Cabana.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-18332 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/rsinspire\/20161206143951\/CancunZen_1280x768_0007_Gnome-Cabana.jpg\" alt=\"Overlooking the waves in Cancun, Mexico\" width=\"960\" height=\"576\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><strong> The perfect place to be barefoot.<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">There\u2019s something about being barefoot that brings us back to our roots. It makes you feel like a child again. And feeling the world underneath your feet is so grounding.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Not to mention it feels good to stretch out your toes. That\u2019s one reason why you can\u2019t have a proper beach vacation without plenty of bare feet in the sand.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">But the sandy beaches aren\u2019t the only way to get your shoeless fix. The perfect beach vacation day can be enhanced by a visit to the spa\u2014one that knows the value of kicking off your Sunday shoes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/rsinspire\/20161206143941\/CancunZen_1280x768_0004_Spa-Whirlpool.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-18329 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/rsinspire\/20161206143941\/CancunZen_1280x768_0004_Spa-Whirlpool.jpg\" alt=\"Get your zen on in a mood-lit whirlpool in Cancun, Mexico.\" width=\"960\" height=\"576\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">As soon as I arrived at Live Aqua Cancun, I began my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.liveaqua.com\/web\/live-aqua-beach-resort-cancun\/spa\">Aqua Spa<\/a> day. The boots I had worn when I departed the chilly north came off, and I found myself barefoot and receiving a refreshing foot bath in a room so lovely it was definitely <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BMUzZ7JBxD0\/?hl=en\">Instagram-worthy<\/a>.<\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/rsinspire\/20161206143933\/CancunZen_1280x768_0001_Club-Lounge.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-18326 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/rsinspire\/20161206143933\/CancunZen_1280x768_0001_Club-Lounge.jpg\" alt=\"Relaxing lounge scene in Cancun, Mexico\" width=\"960\" height=\"576\" \/><\/a>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><em><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">After an attentive hydrotherapy treatment and a fantastically relaxing massage, I was ready to experience more of Mexico. I didn\u2019t want to ruin the Zen I\u2019d found in the spa by squeezing constricting shoes back on my now-relaxed footsies, so I headed outdoors. Shoeless and carefree.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Discovering a resort like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/Riviera-Maya-Hotels-Live-Aqua-Boutique-Resort-Playa-Del-Carmen-All-Inclusive.h12805797.Hotel-Information\">Live Aqua<\/a> for the first time is magical. It seems that exciting features are around every turn.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">First and most important, I wanted to feel sand in between my toes. Priorities. So I found a sweet, special bar with swings in place of bar stools.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Imagine a frosty drink in your hand while you rock back and forth on a swing, gazing at the infinite ocean view. That\u2019s the visual definition of Zen right there.<\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/rsinspire\/20161206143936\/CancunZen_1280x768_0002_Ava-RG.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-18327 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/rsinspire\/20161206143936\/CancunZen_1280x768_0002_Ava-RG.jpg\" alt=\"Selfie with my travel partner in Cancun, Mexico\" width=\"960\" height=\"576\" \/><\/a>\n<p><em><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Since I had just arrived, I then headed out to say hello to the ocean in person, and what caught my eye? A cabana with a butler, a waiter, and a foot massage. It was the perfect way to wrap up my day of spoiling my toes, and it sealed my relaxation\u2014from the ground-up.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">More a pool buff than ocean addict? Just up the stairs from the cabanas is a swim-up bar, where everyone seems happy and approachable. No need to wear shoes to this bar counter. No shoes? No problem.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">I watched as groups of barefoot travelers mingled with other groups, toasting to Cancun and laughing under the eye of the Travelocity Gnome, whom we\u2019d left guarding our towels on the lounge chairs.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Whatever it takes to find your place of Zen, you can find it in Cancun.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/rsinspire\/20161206143930\/CancunZen_1280x768_0000_Spa-Sauna.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-18325 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/rsinspire\/20161206143930\/CancunZen_1280x768_0000_Spa-Sauna.jpg\" alt=\"Sauna at the resort in Cancun, Mexico\" width=\"960\" height=\"576\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><em><\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"entry-content\">\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"author\">\n<p class=\"byline author vcard\">Gnational Gnomads <a href=\"http:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/author\/astritt\/\" rel=\"author\">More by this author<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When traveling, it is always good to get advice from an expert.
