Since I have been back for over a week, I should probably write about my vacation......
One of the things we loved about
Cancun...our resort!
The all-inclusive resort. This place was amazing. I loved that the food and drinks were included in the price because there was no hesitation to order LOTS of drinks at the pool bar or go to a fancy Italian restaurant for dinner - the food there at home would have been pretty pricey!!!
Everyday, we ate breakfast at a buffet. The fresh fruit and omelets were my favorite, and the coffee was actually great! When we went to Puerto Vallarta, the coffee was awful and that was a big let down. They even had omelets made just from egg whites.
Lunch was one of my favorite things about the resort. Maybe it was the incredible view of the ocean, the friendly Amigos that worked at the bar, the convenience (Just pull yourself out of the pull, dry yourself off, and seat yourself) or the amazingly fresh food. My favorite was the seafood salad, and the chips, guacamole, and pico....and the margaritas!
We had three great choices for dinner every night. A fancy Italian restaurant (no kids, guys had to wear pants and collared shirts) a slightly less fancy Mexican restaurant (there was a dress code but it wasn't enforced) and a more casual Asian restaurant. All meals were amazing, no complaints at all. Some of my favorites were the spinach and yam gnocchi, tortilla soup, creme brule, white fish with green curry and coconut sauce, and the sushi.
There was also a coffee bar and tapas bar, which we loved to visit for appetizers before dinner, especially if we had to wait for a table.
Th e pool area was amazing, it included a swim up bar, tons of beach chairs underneath shade, two great pools, my favorite being the upper level infinity pool. I loved looking out to the ocean from it while reading my book!
The workout room was really hot, so I didn't do as much running as I would have liked there....but the attached spa was fantastic. We had an excellent couples massage our last day there. They give you your own personal attendant to help you relax and prepare for your massage, haha!
The king size bed in our room felt gigantic and unnecessary....but very comfortable. The balcony view was really nice, too!
More pictures later, but here is some for now!!!
