Riviera Maya- Day 1 & 2

For spring break, Jarad and I went to the Riviera Maya, Mexico just outside of Cancun. We hadn't been on a "real" vacation since our honeymoon so we decided, "why not?!"

We stayed in the most amazing hotel/resort! It was an all-inclusive resort which I would highly recommend to everyone!


We are off! Time for a 4-5 hour flight.


They gave us some yummy airplane food.


Then apparently, the AC was broken...it the ON position so the cabin turned into an icicle! Funniest thing seeing people headed for Mexico pulling out gloves, hats and blankets as they tried to cover up the vents with the plastic wrap from their food boxes!

After making it through the Cancun airport and on our shuttle, we arrived at the resort. We were greeted and given fancy drinks to enjoy as they checked us in. Once we got to our room, this is the spectacular view we enjoyed from our balcony!


Although our room was FABULOUS (video later), we headed out to check out the place.

Jar was diggin' the pool chairs!


Then we went to my favorite place- the BEACH! It was beautiful and I was so glad to hear the sound of the waves.


We wandered around the HUGE resort complex and checked it out and order some Pina Coladas! YUM!

Dinner at the buffet (Yummy Mexican food!) was next then we went to see a show.

It was a Mexican dance show and it was pretty cool.

After the show, we were ready to hit the hay. But first, we order some room service (gotta love the all-inclusive!) for the morning.

They brought us a lovely breakfast to eat on our veranda!

I couldn't wait to just lay by the beach and relax! So that's what we did first.



LOVE THE BEACH!


Those cabanas are where we hung out for most of the morning.


Love birds- enjoying the relaxation.

After a while, we got hungry, so we hit up the buffet again. Then we decided to go to one of the pools to relax for a while. We found an open cabana, but had to search out another because these guys were getting upset. Apparently they wanted some privacy!



The pool was amazing as well. It even had a bar in the middle! It was surrounded by cabanas, and pool chairs in and out of the water.


After a day of relaxation, we went to dinner at the Japanese Hibachi restaurant. The food was really good!


We played some pool and Jarad kicked my trash.


He's a pool shark!


When we got back to our room, they were turning the sheets down, so we took some fun photos while we waited.
