One of the planned activities was a Kitchen Tour – there were about 16 of us on the tour.
It was interesting how it works out the back.
They use 500KG per day of Fruit & Vegetables and about 250 KG of Red Meat and 250KG of White Meat per day.
Along with fish and the hundreds of breads and rolls and deserts and ice-cream all made in house it is quite a large operation.
One of the pools that meander around the resort.
The day started off with breakfast along with 5 glasses of bubbles each – these waiters – they love to feed you up on booze.
How to make Margarita class – so a couple of Margaritas before lunch.
A few more drinks at lunch
Just before dinner – some cocktails – a Pineapple Margarita.
Then a Caesar special (Caesar is a bartender at the Martini bar who Pam likes to think of the Energizer Bunny). I asked for a Apple Martini and < 20 seconds later there it was. He is like this every time you see him. He remembered me from being here 2 years ago and he was like that then as well.
So I think I had 4 margaritas there, and Pam had a couple of Mojitos
Dinner we had a Pineapple Margarita again. I tried a white wine but did not like it so had to settle in for the reds. 3 reds Pam tells me.
We flagged the concert and I crashed in a few seconds of getting back to the room.
What a boozy day – cost $0
Off to get some breakfast - so who knows what the day will bring.
Bubbles for breakfast – yes please.
A good breakfast – the food is better here than Punta Cana.
We came back from a day resting near the pools to this on our bed.
We decided to go to the Lobster House for dinner last night (no reservations required)
We had a great location for dinner overlooking the pool from our table.
We both ordered Clam Chowder which was just Yummy. We then ordered grilled lobster and they delivered 3 plates because one was a bit small.
A glass of bubbles and all was great….
The cost of a taxi appears to be $68 (but what currency?)
This price was quoted on Taxi Fare Finder website.
We are staying at the Gran Hotel in Mexico City for 3 nights after Cancun.
We have not been to Mexico City before and hope to find it a wonderful place full of interesting food and culture.
We are again staying at Excellence Playa Mujeres which is about a 30 minute drive from Cancun.
This is a little more expensive ($38 USD/Night) than Excellence Punta Cana in Dominican Republic where we are also staying on this trip.
We are paying $2422 USD for 7 nights – about $346 USD per night.
