The resort always had an evening activity planned. Our first night it was a fire show. It started off slow with cirque du soleil type dancers and then came the fire and break dancers. It was a fantastic show and the best part--it was free!
We had a great view of the ocean at every meal we ate.
We took a walk on the beach every morning. It was so peaceful out there.
Mornings are my favorite time on the beach.
We spent the rest of the morning hanging out at the pool either reading or floating in the pool.
Great book, btw. It's really funny. Since we were at an adults only resort (you had to be 18 to stay there) there was no screaming or splashing. Everyone was in their own little worlds, but still very friendly.Fourth of July celebration
We spent an evening in Playa del Carmen.
Our last night at the resort it was Casino Night. We had so much fun.
The resort had paper money and whatever you won at the end you were able to use at an auction later that evening. We played a lot of black jack.
We wore a lot of sunblock and applied quite regularly, but I still got a sunburn. I alternated between spf 100 & 85. I know, I know, I was living on the edge.
Nursing my burnt legs. Only the front of them got red. I blame it on kayaking.

Up next: pictures from our disposable waterproof camera. Get ready for some quality pictures.
And if you made it all the way through the post, I think I might have made Ty blush with my post yesterday. hee hee. He wanted me to make sure you all know that he did not pose for any of those pictures. I was a snap happy fool. :)
looks like y'all have a great time! i'm counting down the days for my honeymoon in maui. SO excited. and btw, that last comment sounds exactly like something my fiance would say.. "Make sure they know I didn't pose for those pictures..." haha. guys.

Oh my word, it looks so wonderful! I am sure you two had the best time relaxing!
ReplyDeleteI just finished Mennonite in a Little Black Dress...hilarious! I am so glad I read it.
Also, I feel you on the sunblock. It doesn't matter what SPF I wear, I always managed to get burnt.
Man, I'm jonesin' for your vacation! I have never thought about going to an adult-only resort. What a fabulous idea! Obviously, since we don't have our own kids, I don't want to deal with those of others either. You look lovely! And, I love that one shot with all the different lanterns/light fixtures hanging from the ceiling. How very cool!
ReplyDeleteLooks fantastic!! So much fun! I need a vacation like baaaaaad.
ReplyDeleteI took a look at the website yesterday & fell in love with it. Glad that you guys had such a great time.

So jealous! And, I love it when people do the research on fabulous places to stay for me :). It would be so easy to talk Tommy into a trip to Mexico now!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fantastic place to stay! I never have any good pictures with me and Husband because he HATES to have his picture taken. I hope I can convince him to try and take more with me.
ReplyDeleteThe resort looks amazing! The views of the beach are so pretty and I had no idea that there were so many activities to do during the day at all-inclusive resorts. Oh, and I've been wanting to read that book - I'm glad I have a recommendation now!
