We've finally returned from our trip to Mexico!
Here's a video I put together:
We had a blast! I didn't want to go home
but Aaron sure was. He got "sick".... whether
it was food poisoning or from drinking the
water, we don't know. He was OUT for
about 3 days just going back and forth
from the bed to the bathroom, poor guy.
Dont Drink Their Water!
(only bottled and ask for no ice)

Thankfully we were able to have a few days
to enjoy, relax and have some fun before that
all happened.
The Resort was Dreams Puerto Aventuras
We didn't really realize how small the resort was...
We've never been to Cancun before let alone a Resort.
We didn't have anything to compare it to, so when we heard
it was the smallest in Cancun I then kinda wished we went
to a bigger one. But that's ok. There was like 6
restaurants including 1 buffet.
Us sneaking one of their photos on the screen!
if you can see the tower on the left, that towers
zip lines connect you to another tower..
there's like 10+ towers you just keep going and going
and it's so much fun!

The food was decent but not great. I really enjoyed
the Mexican Restaurant, obviously...
Aaron is a bit picky with his foods so next
time we will spend more money to go to a nicer
resort with better food. Food is a big deal to us.
The Ocean water..... The Caribbean is AMAZING
sooooooo warm!!!!!!
We pretty much spent a whole Saturday just in the water.
We didn't want to leave.
We swam and snorkeled all day long.
There were so many beautiful fish and animals in the Sea!
The grounds were beautiful!! This was the "romantic gazebo"
for private dinners! We didn't book one but that would
have been fun. There were palm trees everywhere..
the sand felt amazing... and the people were so nice!
TULUM!
Man, this place was breathtaking
and such amazing history!
Xel-ha, this was a really fun "waterpark"
like place we spent one day at.
Wild Rivers will never compare....
There was snorkeling, water tubes,
cliff jumping, dolphins, FOOD!
XPLOR
This place was AMAZING and I
recommend everyone go!!!
Incredible Views as far as the eye can see,
Fast and Fun Ziplines, Gorgeous and Incredible
Caves to explore and
swim in... and Yummy Food!
But don't forget your Waterproof camera and
water shoes (those help a lot!)
We didn't have a waterproof camera
but we still had lots of fun.

Enjoying the Mexican Life... Deep down,
I am a true mexican.
Flying home... Beautiful Views!
We had a great trip despite that Aaron got sick.. and then I
got sick a few days after... We really needed the vacation and it
was worth it. Next time we will spend a bit more to go to a nicer
resort now that we know what we're in for.
The resort was overall very nice.. our room was a bit loud, on the
Marina side which overlooks the adult only pool side... which can
be noisy as we all know when people are drinking.
Also our water got turned off in the middle of my first shower there,
that wasn't very fun... and lastly there were tons of pools but NO
hot jacuzzi's! WHAT? We were really disappointed about that.
One great thing though were our "tour guides" -- Olympus Tours
and they did a phenomenal job communicating with us
and getting us to where we needed to be on time and
telling us what to expect and what to bring.
Overall we had a great time and it was difficult to come back
home and get to work... but we're happy to be home.
5 years sure does go by fast! Happy Anniversary to Us!
***we booked our trip through cheapcaribbean.com and
we found a 4th of july deal that we could not refuse**
5 nights 6 days, flights included for about $2000. That's
not including the 2 extra excursions we did**
Booking thru them was great and we will do it again!
