Cancun, Mexico – March 2020

A little over a month ago, Lindsey, Mom, and I went to Cancun, Mexico for Lindsey’s spring break.  We stayed at Occidental Tucancun and had a really beautiful week there! I couldn’t have asked for better weather.

On the flight to Cancun!

The resort was much smaller than the one we went to in the Dominican Republic last year, but there were still three pools and several restaurants, and it didn’t seem particularly crowded.  This time there were not as many activities, but we were all happy to spend our time relaxing by the pool and going for walks on the beach.  The ocean water there was super clear and warm, so it was ideal for swimming.

For the first few days, we tried out the different buffet and reservation restaurants, and decided that the main buffet was the best for breakfast, and the seafood and Italian restaurants were our favorites for dinner.  At lunch, we sometimes went to one of the buffets, but a few days they were cooking hot dogs and hamburgers outside by the pool.

Every night the resort had a different show, so we went to a few of them, some definitely better than others.  Part of the fun was watching the others in the audience, so it was usually pretty entertaining.  Unfortunately, we did not get to see the Michael Jackson show, which Mom had read in a review was the best one.

While we spent most of the vacation relaxing and getting to nap and read by the pool, we did go on an excursion to Chichen Itza for one day, but I will be putting that in a separate post – stay tuned!  Overall, the week was amazing and I was so happy to be able to spend time with Mom and Lindsey, especially since that involved relaxing on a beach.  And, due to the timing, we were lucky to be able to travel safely before needing to stay in at home for quite awhile.  Thanks for reading about our recent travels!
