The Cancun Diaries: Where We Stayed


While in Cancun, we stayed here:









Minus all those people, and it would truly be a tropical paradise.  But beautiful nonetheless.  Probably the most beautiful place I've seen, as far as landscapes go.  The area in and around the resort was kept meticulously, which added to the natural beauty surrounding us.


The sunrise out our back door was incredible.  I have realized once again that there are some things that just can't be duplicated on film.  Or digitized camera SD cards.  Especially a point-and-shoot.  But I am not complaining... I will always remember that the sun was an amazing, uncapturable, brilliant red.  Like I've never seen before.


Same view, made even better by adding my love interest and favorite companion.


We spent some of our time together in one room or another.  Whose room would vary, but the whole family would gather to play games, hang out, and visit.  Grandma has a blanket here because Grandpa liked his rooms nice and cool.


Mauri soaked the sand off in the jetted tub on more than one occasion.  I don't think you're supposed to add the bubbles, but hey, this is a vacation.




All four of our rooms had plunge pools attached.  Mauri plunged the first day,


but the pools were unheated, so a little bit chilly, especially since we were on the shaded side of the resort.


The weather was perfect... not too hot, not too cool.  Sunny and warm, with clouds only on the last full day we were there.



The beach was beautiful.



The pool was beautiful.
My pearly-white knees?  Maybe not so beautiful.  But I don't think anyone noticed much anyway.



The sunrise was beautiful.


The sunset was beautiful.


Even at night, it was beautiful.


But what made it the most beautiful of all, was sharing it with the people I love.
