Adults only = no kids = happy me!
Deciding to go to Cancun was the easy part. The hard part was actually finding a place we were willing to plunk down so much money for. TripAdvisor.com had tons and tons of reviews of all the hotels there, and I read until I got cross-eyed, and then read some more. After awhile it seemed like they were almost all the same. There were always people who love love loved it, and those who thought it was the worst experience ever.
We really liked the Westin and the Hilton because of their super-comfy beds, but they weren’t all-inclusive resorts. It seems like all the all-inclusives within our price range had rock hard beds. Oh well, as long as we get soft pillows we can manage. We finally settled on one that was all-inclusive, within our price range, had more good reviews than bad, and the best part… adults only!
It’s called Blue Bay Getaway and Spa, and no kids are allowed. I’m lovin’ that part. Kids are already obnoxious. Put them on vacation and they become little missiles hurtling themselves everywhere at full volume.
Of course, adults-only could be a double-edged sword. The clientele are those who don’t want to be around kids either, so they may be there just to get plastered every night. But I didn’t get that impression from the reviews. There will be some people like that in all the resorts, but this one seemed to have a lot of couples who are just looking to take a break. One part that intriged me was the adult-themed activities, most of which include nudity. Someone talked about naked bingo and naked water volleyball. You won’t catch me participating, but I’ll be perfectly happy as a spectator!
