Quiero mas dinero para un vacacion por favor

When we cancelled our Napa Valley trip, we weren’t all that bummed out. I guess that means we didn’t really want to go all that much. But we’d still like to go somewhere. My sweety’s brother was telling us what a great time he had in Cancun. He painted quite a pretty picture with good food and pretty sights, so now we’re wanting to go too.

We started looking around online at the different hotels. Wow. There are soooo many! We read review after user review, for hours! After awhile they all started sounding the same. How the heck do you choose one when you’ve never been? Her brother said the one he was at was okay, but his standards are a little different from ours. He’s willing to put up with a little more crap and discomfort than we are. Here’s our criteria, in order of importance:

  1. Not too much over $100 a night
  2. Comfortable beds
  3. Quiet at night
  4. Good food
  5. No hordes of children

We’ve encountered way too many places that believe they can slap some padding onto some plywood and call it a bed. Or at least it felt that way. Don’t listen to your grandparents. A hard mattress is not better for your back. I found a Hilton with some reviews saying how very comfortable the beds were. It sounded really good, unfortunately it was $149 a night. A week of that is already over $1000, and that doesn’t even include tax. We’d like to eat too, so that’s not gonna work. I guess we just have to keep looking!
