Riviera Maya...aaahhhhh

Our bedroom was AWESOME! This was a five star hotel and it didn't disappoint.
This crab lost its way. He was walking down the hall outside our rooms.

More of our bedroom!
These doors on the left were sliding doors that opened to a BIG bathroom with 2 showers even! :)


There were hammocks all over the resort! We went out just about every night and it was so relaxing!

The pool at night. We swam in it in the night and it was so nice and relaxing.
Rodents of unusual size that roamed around the resort.
There were iguana's all over.

Beautiful beach!
We got a massage in this little hut right on the beach. You could hear the waves and it was so dang relaxing.It is like what you see in the movies.

They had these built in seats all around the pool. It was so nice!


This is the area where our room was located.
There were waterfalls all around the pool.
Can you even see us?
We went up to this swim up bar a few times and got ourselves virgin daiquiri's. They were so yummy.

The entrance of the resort.
We had to walk through this hallway anytime we went to eat, shop, or leave the resort.
Our room was located back in here.
Just PART of the resort. It was HUGE!!

They lit this gazebo up every night in this bright blue color. It was so cool.
By the fountain near the front entrance.
The Italian Restaurant.
Me and my little brother!
So cute!! :)
This was the best most relaxing vacation ever. It gave Shane and i the opportunity to reconnect. It was so romantic!!! We had the best time together!! I fell in love all over again. Sounds corny, but it is true! :) We really enjoyed being with my family too. They always make us laugh and we love spending time with them!!! Thanks so much mom and dad! Shane and i are starting to plan our next vacation, but it will be one that we pay for. It will be another vacation 2 years in the making. We are gonna go after we graduate. I am already researching and i cannot wait.
We went to Playa Del Carmen while we were there and did some shopping and we also went to Xcaret. We swam through underground caves, which was awesome! On the beach at the resort we could snorkel. It was cool. We saw lots of fish with different colors, cool plant life, a barracuda, and sea turtles....all right on our own beach. It was awesome! Every part of the resort was open up to the outside, except for the NICE restaurants. What i mean is that they didn't have windows, it was the coolest thing.
