It was 4 AM when we checked in. The check in process was done with speed and very little fuss. Unlike hotels in Canada and the US, we were not asked to produce a credit card. Our room "key" was a large white plastic card hanging on a blue ribbon which quickly found its way around our necks. Very convenient and very handy. We were also given a key that was attached to a strange heavy metal block. That, too, came on a chain for wearing around your neck. That was the key and padlock to our safe. When you insert both key and padlock into the safe and lock it, you leave the padlock (thank goodness because it's hefty!) in the safe and you just go about with the key around your neck. And they attached dark blue bracelets on our wrists, which we had to have on the whole time we were at the resort.
After unpacking, we went back down in search of drinking water. Tap water in Mexico is non-potable, unsuitable for drinking. The front desk directed us to two large dispensers, one containing purified drinking water and the other, some kind of tasty fruit juice.
Zzzzzzzzzz .........................
We woke up to this beautiful view from our window on the 6th floor.
Sure beats ice and tons of snow! You can see part of the kiddie splash pool near the coconut trees.
