Look how our fresh fruit was served in the morning! They even had fresh squeezed orange juice and hot tea to accompany the fruit!
At breakfast, these two parrots were walking around like they owned the place! One of them even walked up and chewed on my beach bag!!! There are parrots all over the place here and so beautiful with all their colors!
At lunchtime, Brandon and I took advantage of the pool-side service. The chips/salsa/guacamole/hummus/pica de gallo/refried beans combo was our favorite...but Brandon tried out the Mexican calzone and I tried the Thai pizza too! We washed that down with a little virgin pina colada...Mmmm!
This was our view for the day in our beach chairs. There is a lot of seaweed covering the beach...and the water has been pretty dirty (which seems to be our only complaint so far) but the pool has been excellent. The two-person loungers are nice for an anniversary couple like us...and the pool is quite refreshing. If you look in the middle of the pool, you will see multiple railings for the steps. You see, this is one big pool with four separate pools inside. Some areas only go as deep as your shins and others are as deep as your chest. 
Right off the pool is the beach. This picture actually makes the water look better than it really is...(big props to our new Nikon D5000 camera!) This roped off area with caution tape is actually where a sea turtle has laid her eggs. Because sea turtles are a protected species, their nests are to remain undisturbed. The hotel staff blocks off these areas...and when it comes time that the turtles hatch, they have a releasing party. Unfortunately, the turtles will not be hatching anytime soon...so we will miss this event.
Every guest staying here gets a handmade Mayan bag to keep. The bag is HUGE and makes the perfect beach bag!
At nighttime, there is a Mariachi band which plays at the restaurant. These guys definitely would have made top 10 on American Idol!
Dinner with my handsome husband was my favorite part of the day!!! I am such a lucky wife!
Love to our family and friends!!!
