Happy Friyay!
We have been on a major spring like streak since I returned from Mexico. It has been in the 60'/70's all week which has made for a nice transition from the tropical temperatures in Riviera Maya. However, we know in Colorado we can just as easily have two feet of snow on the ground tomorrow, so I am soaking in the sun while it lasts.
A few weeks ago, I had a serious case of the winter blues... serious!! And I got an invitation to attend a viewing party of Top Chef at Secrets Akumal Riviera Maya, where it was filmed, and I could not reserve my spot on the beach fast enough. Apple Vacations and Amstar made this last minute trip seamless! They booked everything and made sure transportation to and from the airport was a breeze.
Every direction I turned at the resort was simply picture perfect. However, more importantly the service was wonderful. We were greeted with cocktails upon arrival (big bonus points), and the staff made us feel right at home. Several people have asked about the food because I guess all inclusive resorts are typically not known for their cuisine, and I have to say, the food was absolutely a highlight!
Secrets Akumal has 7 restaurants and I was so impressed with each one. Lacey and I loved the breakfast spread at The Market - the smoothies were the perfect start to my morning! And I also loved the all pink French restaurant, Bordeaux, and the sushi spot we dined at our last night. I wore this dress with these comfy wedges ($39) to our progressive dinner tour which commenced in the main kitchen of the hotel with the most delicious and creative eight course dinner. I could not have been more impressed!
For me, the most important part of truly enjoying a beach vacation is laying out. Jonny would have something to say about that, so as much as I missed him, it was nice to be on a girls trip with some lovely ladies who understand the importance of soaking in some rays. After spending a sufficient amount of time laying out and swinging on the swings at the beach bar we spent the afternoon relaxing in the Pevonia Spa. It was the perfect way end to the day!
Hope you have a wonderful weekend - would love to hear what fun spring break trips you have planned! And as always, please let me know if you have any questions or suggestions!
