Cancun December 2021

      Well I am home from my 6 nights in Cancun.  I had a great time.  It was just so nice to be away and to fly on a plane and to stay in a hotel.  I was at El Dorado Casitas Royale.  I was in a Casitas Suite.  It was a big room with a large bathroom area, an outdoor shower, a large indoor, rainshower shower, a balcony with a table and day bed and a private infinity pool!  Granted the pool was not that large, but it was nice anyway.

      The grounds of this resort were great.  So well kept!  The people who worked there were also great.  Each area had its own pool and pool-area with a swim-up bar in the pool.  Not crowded at all.  Of course that could be the time of year.  In my area there was also a beach bar that was nice to have near-by.  4-sided bar with 2 sitting areas looking out over the beach and water.

     I ate in a different restaurant each of the 6 nights I was there and they were all good.  A grill restaurant, a Thai , 2 Italian restaurants, a Mexican and a "dinner show " restaurant.  The last was unique.  The "show"  was a MC who introduced the chef who showed how to prepare the course you were about to be served.  Then came a sommeliar who told about the wine pairing.  A fun time and great food.

           I would definitely return to this resort.  Just lying around in the sun enjoying the peace and food and drink at this time of year was great.

Cancun 2021

      It has been a while but I am going to travel again!  I'm leaving in a few days for a 6 night day stay in Cancun.  I have never been there and do not usually go on "beach" vacations.  I will be staying at a luxury, all-inclusive resort and really do not expect to leave the grounds.  There are several different restaurants serving different cuisines and there are bars everywhere.

     The room I have booked has a private balcony with a day-bed and a private infinity pool!  I believe it also has a butler for the room.  If that butler can mix a nice martini I may never leave that day-bed except to throw my body into the infinity pool!
