...a little belatedly but so that I can remember. Mom, my cousin Leslyie, Clive and myself went together to a top of the line all-inclusive resort just north of Playa del Carmen. It was exciting for us all as Les has never flown so far or travelled quite so far. We were all delighted with the 5 star accommodation, and of course the restaurants. A different a la carte restaurant every night and finally on the last night we made it to the buffet which even had themes every day. We dined at restaurants 3 times a day and the buffets for breakfast and lunch were unbelieveable - the setting, the service and the amazing selections.
We usually started the day with a walk up or down the beach and then I was ready for breakfast. Clive and I enjoyed the beach most so spent most of our days there. We had great warm weather - only a couple drops of rain in the week. Mom enjoyed the pool setting more and Les wandered about. So we each had space and came together for meals though I must say that Clive and I liked most of our time together - walking, eating, beaching, whatever.
We managed to stretch ourselves one day (two for Mom and I) to take the shuttle into Playa. Les shopped and the second visit Mom and I enjoyed a massage.
Mom is a real trooper and she did make it to the swim-up bar and up and down the beach for the early morning walks. Always game for stuff she is! Les promised herself to take a few more risks next time (wonder what they will be?). Clive and I liked walking the grounds and the beaches. After Mom discovered the golf cart would whisk you wherever then that worked quite well for her. Some of the distances were quite large - how can there be so much space and property so beautifully maintained.
It was relaxing and a week was just perfect. We called it a cruise on land but with the liquor included. We enjoyed the shows most evenings though the quality was marginal sometimes. Still comfortable warm and pleasant after a great day of relaxation and a little exercise.
It is a pretty comfortable way to spend a week - no decisions (oh yes, do I want a drink now or later and where shall we eat today?) but so far removed from the reality of Mexico ....or anywhere else that is real for that matter. So enjoy, we did.
