Pampered in Paradise

We just returned from our trip to Cancun, where we stayed at the Excellence Playa Mujeres.  Holy heaven.  I have never been so pampered.  Never been surrounded by such beauty.  Never eaten so much food (okay, well, maybe I have done that).  Those five days were truly dreamy.

But, I will let the pictures speak for themselves (with my narrative, of course).

Half of our room.  Gorgeous.  Comfortable. Huge.  Clean.  Chocolates, mood lighting, soft music, and turn-down service nightly.  A fabulously stocked mini-bar (which the poor guy was constantly restocking.  Oops.  We maybe have a thing for Snickers).

The other half of our room.  Complete with a two-person jacuzzi tub that opened to the outdoors and a full bed on the patio to lounge on...both of which were taken expert advantage of.  No seriously, we are professional loungers and tubbers.

The pretty bathroom.  Not pictured, the two-person shower.  Huge.  I could have slept in there. 

Aforementioned tub.  Tell me that doesn't speak dreamy??

Our view from our patio.  We were just steps away from the lazy river and spa.  Also pleasant was our very own lawn chairs for sunning ourselves when we felt it too much effort to walk to a pool or beach.

Outside the main lobby.  Are you getting the gorgeous picture yet?  

The main pool at one of the two outdoor restaurants.  Yummy.  No really.  One of our best meals was had at The Lobster House...where all they served, was, surprisingly, lobster.  I salivate at the thought.

Luxurious lounging.  If you look closely, you can see me snoozing on the bed hammock thingie (which we aptly named bammocks) behind the real hammocks.

Every night was a show.  Honestly, most of them were mediocre so we would duck out and get some fried ice cream from the Asian restaurant.  But the last night we were there, they did a fire show, which was pretty awesome.  I mean, hello, fire??

Some of the grounds, on our way to dinner.  These people were meticulous about their clean.  We were beyond impressed.

So I am thinking, when I die and go to the Celestial Kingdom (obviously, where else), it will look a little something like the Excellence.
