Quiet Weekend

It’s Monday morning and we had a very quiet weekend. Saturday we hung out at the pool all morning and, after a light lunch at the pool, we took a walk back to the boardwalk. Even with stopping for ice cream along the way, it was only about a 40-minute walk. But since it was getting very hot, we decided to take a cab home.

After resting for a few hours in our room, we headed to the seafood restaurant for a leisurely dinner. The staff here is amazing. Our server, Jocelyn, not only remembered us from dinner on Wednesday, she remembered our drink order. Given how many people she sees in a day that’s pretty impressive.

After dinner we strolled around the pool area listening to the music from another wedding at the gazebo. We hung out in the Dreams lobby for about 90 minutes waiting for the evening’s entertainment to start. The group was the Three Tenors of Vallarta and they were very good. It was a little irritating because they performed in the lobby and there were a few large groups who were more interested in making noise than listening to the music. But, we enjoyed the concert anyway. Here are a couple of videos of their performance.

Sunday morning we slept crazy late, not getting up until almost 8:30!! Peter still got in a few laps before a very late breakfast. Then we did absolutely nothing for the rest of the day until it was time to go to dinner. Well, I shouldn’t say absolutely nothing as I did water aerobics at noon. It was a pretty easy workout (unlike Lois at Robson Ranch who runs a killer session) but at least I was moving.

After a quick clean up we went to the Mexican restaurant for dinner. It was our first time there and we enjoyed it. Peter had fajitas and I had the Mahi Mahi with Pastor sauce. I don’t know what was in the sauce but it was delicious. After an after-dinner walk around the pool areas, it was back to the room for the night.

The margaritas were delicious.

This morning we started the day by getting our rapid Covid tests on site. It only took a few minutes to get our negative results. So, we’re all set to head home tomorrow. This is our last day at this beautiful resort and I expect that today will be a repeat of yesterday. Not sure where we’ll go to dinner tonight as it’s Peter’s turn to pick. But every place we’ve tried has been very good so no matter what he picks we’ll have a good dinner.

Here are a few pics from the inside of the resort.

There’s quite a bit of indoor/outdoor seating in the lobby area.

Guess that’s it for now. It’s almost 9am but the pool area is still pretty quiet. Peter may get in a few laps before the crowd starts to arrive. Talk soon.

    1. It’s great but by tomorrow we’ll be ready to go home. A week of sitting by the pool is enough for us. we have 3 pools we can sit at in our community. Of course, there’s no one there to bring us delicious drinks but…
