I decided since it took us a week to take all these pictures, it just might have to take a week to share them post-by-post! I seem to be able to upload only 5 pics at a time. Feel free to enlighten me if you know how to upload more than 5 at one time. Otherwise, I'll just try to update the blog daily this week! This post is about the resort itself. (More about our activities and the kids later.)
Mackenzie in front of the kiddie area with the entire Grand Mayan building in the background.
Our "partial kitchen" which included everything a full kitchen would have except an oven. I was very impressed! It even has a toaster, blender, full sets of flatware and dishes, microwave, fridge, freezer, etc.
We had 3 bar stools in the partial kitchen area as well as this kitchen table between the kitchen and living areas. The table seats four. There is a big flat screen TV in all 3 rooms! The living room has 2 couches, both of which have a bigger-than-twin trundle bed underneath them. Josiah (who sleeps in a toddler bed at home) slept in a trundle in the living room. Mackenzie told some people on our flight home that her brother slept "under the couch." Nice. Several rows of people on the plane fell apart in a fit of laughter over that one. After I recovered from my own laughter, I attempted to explain that he really did sleep on a trundle, which pulled OUT from under the couch. HA. :)
This was Mackenzie's room! We were afraid Josiah would fall off the bed onto the marble floors. Otherwise, he could have used the extra bed! The huge wooden "closet" doors opened from the bedroom into the bathroom where you see dual marble vanities, a marble shower, toilet, and double jetted jacuzzi.
This is a closer view of the "kid's bathroom." Needless to say, we were shocked by the space and niceness (is that even a word) of the accommodations!!! Thanks to Mom & Mark's RCI week!!! :)
A Part Two is coming to show our room and the balcony...
Oh, and all of the rooms were connected which was a blessing with the kids in tow! The living and kitchen area is the middle room which lies between both the other two bedroom and bathroom areas.
This is our room with double tub in the room and the marble bathroom with dual vanities and shower and toilet straight ahead.
This picture is another angle of our room. It shows one of the nice TVs I mentioned earlier! The doorway just beyond the TV (on the right) leads to the kitchen/living area.
This is David and the kids checking out the huge balcony area with private plunge pool. Yeah, we actually had a miniature pool on our own balcony. I know, that's pretty crazy!! The kids LOVED it. They would have been content to spend the day in it, I think.
Here's Josiah and Mackenzie, among all the rafts and rings, in that private plunge pool.
