Our Cancun Trip: June 24-29, 2007



We had a wonderful time in Cancun. We flew out from John Wayne Airport on Sunday noon, and arrived in Cancun at around 9pm. Thomas was good on the plane. We had a stop-over in Houston. Thomas was better on the first flight than on the second. I guess he was getting tired at that time. By the time we arrived to our hotel, Dreams Cancun Resort & Spa, and checked in and everything, it was close to midnight. The package we bought was all-inclusive, so the first thing we took advantage of was the room service. We had a very late dinner of tortilla soup, steak, and cheesecake. It was so good! Their cheesecake was so creamy and not too sweet like some cheesecake I've eaten before. It was just perfect.

I had a crib bought up, and Thomas was so tired that he fell asleep right away!

The next morning, we went out to the hotel's international buffet, World Cafe. Afterwards, we went walking around the hotel. The weather was so hot and humid that we decided to jump in the pool later on. There's always someone waiting around, asking whether anyone needed a drink...it was paradise. Tony liked the swim up bar.

For lunch, we decided to order room service again, but that night, we tried out their seafood restaurant, Oceana. It was so delicious! We loved their lobster bisque!

We also loved the Seaside Grill, which specializes in grilled items. Another place we tried out was Himitsu, a Pan-Asian restaurant. We thought the location was great for a romantic evening because of its great view, but the food was just ok there. There was also another restaurant, Paloma Bonita, specializing in authentic Mexican food, but we didn't eat there.

We had an ocean view room, and the view was spectacular! We could see almost everything from our room, from the pool, lagoon where dolphins were swimming, to the pier, and the ocean. There was many activities for us to join, but with Thomas, we were a little restricted. Tony joined in the water exercise, kayaking, and bicycling activities. Thomas and I swam most of the time. There's an Explorer Club for kids, but they had to be at least 3 years, so Thomas was too young. They took the kids for the day and entertained them with fun-filled activities. Tony and I plan on going to Cancun again when Thomas is at least 3 years old to use this service!

We really had a great time in Cancun. We even saw 2 well-known Vietnamese celebrity there, Van Son and Viet Thao, and their families. They were staying on the same floor as us! We were able to take pictures with one of them.

I think Tony and I will be coming back to Cancun, and we'd definitely stay at Dreams again...it's a place where dreams come true!

There's so much pictures that we took! Click here to see all of them!
