The famous pink lakes of Mexico, Rio Lagartos. A magical sight! Pink waters and blue sky, It was like sunset reversed; a feast for eyes! There are plenty of colorful salt lakes near Las Coloradas/Rio Lagartos in the Yucatan peninsula. It is just 2 hours drive away from Chichén Itzá and around 3 hours from Cancun. Public transport is scarce in this part of Mexico.
We took a rental car and it was an easy and comfortable journey for us :) Once we reached Las Coloradas, we were welcomed by giant white salt mountains. After driving around the salt mountains for some time, we finally found someone local who took us to this beautiful private salt lake.

"The staff was A++ they all knew our names by day 2. They were super courteous and very very honest. We left our safe open one day with plenty of cash on display and they came cleaned our room and absolutely nothing was taken. The resort was spotless. The events were far away from the rooms so you could get your rest of that is what you came for. The food was okay. The reservation for the Brazil restaurants had to be done from 2pm to 4pm which was very inconvenient. The steak didn't blow my mind. But the service made up for it. Their ceviche restaurant only serves tilapia. Which I was so super disappointed about. The main buffet was usually the best choice. The other had waits. The sushi bar was good. The rice was a tad harder than it should be. Their little coffee and bakery shop inside one of their stores was amazing. It had fresh ice cream daily and different desserts than in the restaurants. They went all out for the US folks for thanksgiving. They decorated the hotel and served a full turkey dinner and a rib roast. The pools and beach were incredible. We truly enjoyed our stay. "
