Our resort was about an hour from the airport so it took a while until we were all at the resort together. I felt bad when I got to there and realized that the checked luggage with all the kids' swimsuits was with my group. So the kids had no way of swimming in the afternoon while they waited for the rest of us. Oops. Oh well...the napped and relaxed while they waited. We had wanted adjoining rooms but they didn't have any available so they gave us 2 family suites next to each other. They ended up being the best rooms in the resort! The balcony of those 2 rooms was about double the size of the rest of them and it looked over the performing stage and pools. The kids were able to hop over the little dividing fence between balconies and go back and forth between the rooms. It was perfect for us! We decided to put Steve and all 5 kids in one room with Josh and me in the other room. That way we could put all the kids to bed in one room and then the adults could stay up and watch tv and relax. It was really nice in the mornings to have the kids in the other room so Josh and I could sleep in. We hit the buffet to eat and scouted out the resort. Of course the kids wanted to go swimming so they changed and hit the pool. For dinner we headed to the Italian restaurant which ended up being SO good! We played games at the table while we waited for out food and just enjoyed being all together. This resort was literally downtown Playa del Carmen. We didn't realize we would be staying so close to all the shopping and business districts. It was definitely different than any resort we've ever been to. It didn't feel as secluded as other resorts, but it was fun to walk to shop whenever we wanted. We all were totally exhausted and didn't have any trouble falling asleep!
