RIVIERA MAYA, HARD ROCK HOTEL











 


For our 10 year anniversary, Marcus has always wanted to stay at an all-inclusive resort, so we decided to just go for it! And the reviews looked so good, we decided to let our kids come along. We’re all about making memories as a family-even though we got told all the time, “You two have your hands full!” by other tourists, we were so glad we did! The staff loved Harper and Elle and treated them like little rockstars bringing them toys, balloon animals, and little treats. We felt completely spoiled from the beginning to end. It was one of our most favorite trips we’ve EVER done. Our kids loved every minute, and Harper was so excited to meet Barney and Angelina Ballerina! And the unlimited juice boxes, gummy bears, cake and ice cream were a favorite too. For all of us, lets be honest! Harper loved chasing all of the iguanas and growling at them around the resort, until one decided to turn and chase her! We were laughing SO hard.

Our days were filled with going to the beach in the morning and in the afternoon we termed our hours by the pool as “Golden Hours.” Great food, unlimited pina coladas, and Harper had the kid’s pool all to herself! Marcus and I took turns going to the spa and going golfing because it was all included at the resort. When I found out you could have a spa treatment of a chocolate body wrap, I was ALLLL over that. But my favorite thing was not having to make meals everyday! It felt like such a luxury to go and have food prepared everyday and not have to think about what to make for dinner. All the moms out there would be with me on this! Pretty sure we ate our weight at the Brazil Grill and Teppanyaki restaurant.

Harper was so cute as she’d wave to people saying, “Hola!” and “Gracias!” One night she was dancing around, and turned and said “Just Kidding, Guys!” It’s her new go to phrase. But she totally uses it in the right context and everything! Silly girl. And Elle had so much fun splashing in the water. She thought it was so funny to splash her sister, and literally the bigger she splashed, the harder she laughed! She loooooved it. We’re all having major withdrawals after this trip. And trying to talk all of our family to come back with us next time! Ha!
