The Vacation, continued...

As I mentioned before, this resort was really fancy and beautiful. We were amazed by how clean they kept everything. There were always people cleaning and keeping things looking nice. Every morning there were guys on the beach cleaning up the beach and removing trash and seaweed that had washed up over night. There were tons of flowers and bushes all over the place. We would even see workers in the morning picking up leaves and flower pedals off the ground that had fallen off the plants. Another crazy things is that they had trash cans around that had the little sand ash trays on top and every morning early they would clean these out and draw their logo in the sand of the ashtray, isn't that crazy. It was amazing how pristine this place was. They cleaned our room daily and also had turndown service. They would come in the evening (we were never there when they came) and make your bed all nice and turn down the sheets and put some chocolates on the bed for you. They would also leave a sheet that had a list of all the activities that were going on the next day and they would leave a little card that told what the weather and temperatures were going to be the next day. On our last night, they made it extra fancy and put flowers all on our bed.
Stayed tuned for continued posts on the vacation. By the way I have post several pictures on our picasa site. They are broken into 3 different folders, one for general pictures, one for Tulum Ruins pictures, and one for Chichen Itza pictures. Just click here to go to them. We have tome of other pictures so if you want to see them all you will have to come over and look at them. Here are some pics that relate to this post.
