Chloe talks Cancun

Read on if you want to know what this little guy is called.

Chloe:  This past week we went to the RIU Tequila, an all-inclusive hotel.  There were many things that I enjoyed about the hotel, including beach volleyball, the shows, ping-pong, yummy food and drinks, the beach and coatis.  My favorite part was the beach volleyball.  I played almost every day, and once my team won four games in a row.  Some other sports they had were ping-pong, basketball, bocce ball, soccer, shuffleboard, horseshoes and more. I only played some of them though. My dad won a ping-pong contest and got a fanny-pack for it.  Isn’t that exciting? 

I really enjoyed the bars there.  They had so many good drinks including virgin pina coladas, banana-mamas and soda. My favorite place to get a drink was at the swim-up bar.  It was nice that it was basically a free buffet every meal.  I love getting to have dessert at breakfast, lunch and dinner.  But sadly we all ate a bit too much.

This drink is called a coco-loco.  The face is made of fruit pinned onto the coconut.

Every night they put on a show.  The first night they performed a circus where they had a clown and three other performers that did a lot of crazy pole tricks.  They once made a giant human totem pole.  Next was the Mayan show.  They had drummers that played non-stop for about an hour.  The last show (which was my favorite) was Grease.  I loved the amazing dancing. 

Yes, this is the color of the water in the Caribbean!  Clear as a swimming pool.  Dad swims while wearing a hat.  Dufus!

When we went to the beach, it was so fun because it was a white sand beach and the ocean water was crystal clear.  I even made a lounge chair out of sand.  Lastly, there were these adorable wild animals that are called coatis.  They are sort of a cross between a raccoon and a lemur, but much cuter than both. They just roamed all over the resort.  Coatis on the roof.  Coatis at the pool.  Coatis in the restaurant… Once one followed me home because it could smell my 7-up.  I wish we could keep one.  They are so cute!  I am so glad we got to stay at this amazing hotel.  I had such a great time in Playa del Carmen.

Chillin' on my sandy lounger.
