We were lucky enough to have the opportunity to return to Mexico in February for a little warm weather winter getaway. This year we headed south of Cancun, to Playa Del Carmen. Once again, we joined Mark and Amber for the trip, and we were joined this year by Daniel and Denise. What a fun group!
Our arrival was rather harried, with a major snafu at the Cancun Airport. We are still not sure what exactly happened, but it took us almost four hours from the time our flight landed to get through Customs and get our bags to head for our hotel. It was actually a bit frightening, with hundreds and hundreds of frustrated and angry people packed into a small space, and no way out! I felt like we were one step away from a riot! Anyhow, by the time we made it through the airport and took our hour trip to the resort, it was already 8 pm when we checked in. We were a little worried about what we would find at the resort, as the reviews had been a little sketchy, with lots of construction issues. (The hotel is undergoing major renovations, transforming from the Adventura Spa Palace to the Hard Rock Hotel). Fortunately, our rooms were beautiful and our worries were unfounded.
Our first full day in Mexico was sunny, warm, and beautiful. We spent the day exploring the resort, sitting by the pool, and enjoying the amenities provided by the resort. They had yummy food and even yummier drinks! We swam in the lagoon, played on the rocks, and ended the day with massages in their beautiful spa. Heaven!! We dined in the italian restaurant that evening. We gave it mixed reviews, although their spaghetti carbonara was to die for! It turned out to be an early evening due to the overindulgence of some members of our party (starting with mimosas at 9 am will do that!), but it was a great opportunity to relax.
