    Nothing better than Mexican resorts. The steak actually looked like real beef rather than horse meat. Thanks so much for sharing. Jealous!!!! Did you have to pay extra for the cabana or pool side shelter? In America they would slam you for rental on bikes too.

    • @UpUpOurWay
      @UpUpOurWay  Před 4 měsíci

      We commented how much better our stomachs felt in Mexico. You’d think it would be opposite, but nope. Cabanas at the beach we’re $50 but we’re free by the pool! Yeah, glad the bikes were included

    Love your review. The property looks Amazing. Melissa you too look Fantastic in your vacation attire. Big difference from your LIVE Streams to your reviews is CZcams butchered this with excessive commercials. Every time you got into reviewing another area seemed like we’d break away for another commercial.

    This place looks really relaxing..now if it only had a casino...Enrique's has outdone his self in the camerawork except the "director" yelling take 12 sounded a little exhausted. Really loved that blooper part. Also since we presume Enrique can't fly, how did you get the aerial shots of the hotel and beach? I really feel sorry for Enrique as he has to film you eating all the food first before he can eat.

      You can eat at the other hotels’ restaurants but I don’t believe you can use pools and facilities. I wouldn’t mind trying other restaurants if I go back 😊

    Not a fan of that second place. Way too contemporary. I like the feel of being in Mexico when I am in Mexico. Beautiful regarding the nature part though. I hope Enrique got some of that bread while it was still warm?? Lastly...You need reservations but there were so many empty tables? Sometimes I think restaurants are being pretentious with the "reservation only" BS. Just my opinion. Thanks for sharing you guys. Looks VERY relaxing. I would hate the toddler thing though.

    • @UpUpOurWay
      @UpUpOurWay  Před 4 měsíci

      We didn’t mind the toddlers, they were cute. But I can see why others would not want a bunch running around which is why I mentioned it. Lol the beach restaurant looked empty but they filled up soon after we sat down. I think we were early 😊

I am so glad that you both got to indulge and enjoy on your vacation. The steak, bread and the coffee ice cream dessert looked so good. I was just a wee bit disappointed though that Enrique did not review the Raccoon Ribeye 🦝🥩and the trash cans at the resort. lol! j/k 😂😂 And come to think about it I didn't hear any either. lol! 😂
