It;s just to big. It's a huge place and everyone said it's like a 15 minute walk from your room to the pool, beach or most anywhere meaning there are a LOT of people also so it's crowded. I like the fact the place I choose has over 2000 reviews I found and is around 90%.
No walking the beach at night though. I have heard to many bad stories regarding police, security and locals who keep an eye out for couple out for a midnight stroll. You are lucky if you are only mugged.
I plan on doing at least a couple of excusions such as the pyramids, cenote and maybe diving. I'm certified and the HAW has been one time and liked it.
Anyways, It's been a long time since I have done Mexico and the HAW was not to interested until I showed her pictures and she decided it looks a lot like Philippines because of the white sandy beach, palm trees, blue water, warm, etc. Only complaint she has not is if we will run into some of my old girlfriends. hahaha If I had 1/100 the fun or amount of girlfriends in my past she thinks I do I would be doing better than Hugh Hefner.
Well now I have some extra motivation to not only step up my work out intensity at work but start hitting the gym on my days off. Time to take advantage of my LA Fitness Membership I have had for 1yr but never used.
