We're Going Going Back Back

2006, BALCONY OF THE ROOM FACING THE OCEAN

So we finally booked our honeymoon before gas prices go up even higher. We're going back to Ixtapa! I've never been a fan of trying to relive great moments because it's never as good or better the second time around, but Las Brisas has been renovated so I don't really count it as trying to recreate the moment. And we had such a good time the first time around. I'm really excited about this trip because on the fourth day our close friends will be joining us! The first time we were there I remember thinking, "Aw, I wish our friends were here with us..." We'll see though, because it's always hard to plan oversea trips with friends especially now that we're adults and are scheduled up to our necks.

Hot women in clad bikinis is not what you'll find here, sorry. This place is chill out central. Not much of a night life but it can be your group's own oasis with a private beach. There are cabanas galore so waking up at the crack of dawn, on your vacation might I add, is not necessary just to reserve one. Lunch can be brought out to you along with your beer or Pina Colada. Yes, this is Mexico and alcohol is allowed on the beach. (That was the one drawback of Hawaii). And even without requesting, the kind staff-gentleman will refill your Corona bucket with new ice.

Hotel Resort Las Brisas isn't chi chi but more authentic to Mexico's culture and environment, which is what we really liked about the place. I cannot wait!
