We were in Room 12558 and had the best room attendant. He said "hi" to us every time he saw us come and go. He even asked us if may enter our room and clean it while we are gone. He helped us with all questions that we had as well.

Everyone worked together to make it an easy transit to the Boat; however, the line was a bit long with all the people but it moved fast.

Our excursion was beach break with an inclusive lunch on the beach. I got email confirmations and directions which were very easy to follow. It was only a ten minute walk for my husband and me. The beach was by a resort, small, but not crowded. The waiter was very nice and friendly. My husband ordered fish that wasn't cooked all the way and got a new replacement for free. The beach was clean and the water was clear. I liked that we got to see the boat where we are at. After our lunch we walked around the town and shopped a little. Everything was very interesting except the people that were selling things at a market were too pushy. Anyone that goes has to learn to ignore them, because it happens every few feet.

My husband and I did a Snorkeling excursion. Despite the fact that is rained a little because of the hurricane, we had an okay time. First we had walked around a shopping plaza and found this lady who had a chair with fish tanks for your feet -The fish ate your dead skin. It was quite interesting. Than We had to take a taxi to the port to get on a boat to take us snorkeling. The tourists area was helpful with that -They spoke very good English and Spanish. However, the wait to get on the boat took forever. Than we had to travel an hour out of the area to the location of the snorkeling. With the rain and big waves, it was hard to enjoy the excursion. My husband went into the water but couldn't enjoy it. I stood on the boat because I was too scared but DID NOT get any compensation back. We also both got sea sick with the motion of the boat going so fast! The only good thing about it was the people who took us helped us understand everything and we got a free lunch buffet afterwards, but with my husband and I only getting 20 minutes to eat, it wasn't very fun being rushed to our taxi. I would never go on this excursion again! We only had a little bit to shop afterwards because the excursion took too long.

Honduras was very interesting when we got there. A lot of pushy people outside the main gate. However, the Tourists Guides were very helpful and kept track of everyone by wearing colored bracelets. Even though the city had a lot of garbage on the side of the road, the excursion was awesome! We had a lady, Cindy, take us through trails before our beach break. She was wonderful and very informative on her nature and Country. She was super friendly and kept us all together. I would definitely check it out again just because of her!! Afterwards, we took pictures with a baby monkey they had at the zip lining post. Our taxi driver waited for us the whole time, even after he took us to the beach! He made sure we understood what time he would be back to pick us up. My husband wanted Iguana and asked the driver to pick him up some while we were at the beach. The driver was very nice and did that for my husband, which my husband paid for the meal and gave him a tip. We did Jet Ski's and ate at their resort. The beach was overly crowded since it was a resort for their guests and cruise ship guests. I would still go again because it was nice and relaxing. The taxi driver took the rest of our crew back to the boat docks and my husband and I shopped a little before departing back on. It was perfect!

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

We didn't do any excursion but my husband and I walked around the city where they had a big pool so people can swim. It became overly crowded as other guests where wanting to swim too. My husband and I checked out the local shops and we fed the birds above ground-It was awesome!! The birds were so nice and careful with taking food from our hands. It was a nice city. Next time we will try and take a tour of the city and check out how people live and their history!
