Unfortunately, we did not have the best weather. However, we didn't let that ruin our trip. We had 2 really good sunny days. The other days were a mixture of clouds, rain and wind. It was still warm enough to sit on the beach and soak up the sights of the ocean.
We stayed at a great resort. Although we aren't sure we would go back to the same one. I think we would like to try Cabo or a different area of Mexico. The resort staff were awesome. They were very kind and helpful during our trip. Our favorite person Caesar who waited on us for drinks while we parked our butts on the beach! He had a great sense of humor and made sure we were drinking plenty!
While at the resort we enjoyed two shows. A magic show with a man who actually performs in Vegas and a Light Show (it was supposed to be a fire show, but it was raining). Both were fantastic! We were going to venture outside of the resort and possibly go on an excursion, but the weather was so iffy.
We had a crazy driver on our way from the Airport to the Resort. We pretty much thought we were going to die! :) When we arrived at the resort we were taking upstairs to the preferred club area where we were offered a drink while we checked in. They brought our bags to our rooms for us so we didn't have to lug them to our room. They even brought us a bottle of sparkling wine (which we both thought was gross, but it's the though that counts) and a plate of apples.
Every night the resort would "turn down." They would come to our room, get our bed ready for us, leave chocolates, a card about the next days weather, have the lights on dim, remote on the bed, and would have relaxation music on. It was a nice little surprise!
One thing we enjoyed about our stay was that room service was include in our stay. So, the first night we just got room service for dinner because we were exhausted from traveling. It was perfect.

We also had a mini bar which was included. So they filled it daily and left us M&M's and a small can of pringles.
It was my first time being by the ocean and I loved it. We mostly just sat by the ocean during the day and took it all in. It was great for relaxing. We swam in the ocean. I was a bit skeptic with this... didn't want to step on anything that I shouldn't step on. We found a Star fish on our last day and some other fish in the water. You could see a lot more fish, etc when the water was calm.
Sellers would walk on the beach (only when it was nice out) and sell items. I bought a Handmade Mexican Blanket and love it. It's beautiful. It was fun just to see how the atmosphere is in Mexico. For our first experience out of the country, it was a great! We are both looking forward to going back again and being more adventurous the next time we go. This vacation was all about relaxation. The next time it will be more about adventures. :)
