2016 – Home for a Bit and then Off Again!

Before we left Arizona in mid February of 2016, I learned that through a MLM company I had joined just prior to my retirement from nursing, I had earned an all expenses paid trip for two to The Hard Rock Resort, Mayan Riviera, Mexico. The trip was to take place in mid March.

Absolutely everything was paid for from flights, to airport transportation, to the all-inclusive resort, and to side tours from there. The only time we had to use our wallets was to tip someone.

Hubs and I had time to unpack, do laundry, and repack for the next trip.

It was a whirlwind defined, and we loved every single second.

My feature photo is of our hotel lobby.

Mid March at the Mayan Riviera was hot and so humid that my camera lens kept fogging up, but that was truly the only issue. Everything else was perfect.

    Nice! We’re big fans of Hard Rock Cafes, and we want to stay at one of their hotels. You both seemed to have enjoyed your stay.

      We love the brand too, Edward. We once stayed at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel in Hollywood Fla. (future post). And yes, we sure enjoyed our stay at this one.

      We were lucky that the place was so wonderful, Lenore. Not much luck involved with earning the trip, tho. It was a lot of hard work and determination to get there. 😊

    The places looks amazing! Love the interior patio. It reminds me of the hotel we stayed in Merida in Spain.

      Absolutely, Anne! After we returned home, we researched what it would have cost us to pay for that vacation ourselves, and for us, it would have been far out of our typical vacation budget.Have a fab day!

    What an amazing experience for you both! Was the resort linked to the Hard Rock Cafe chain?!

      Yes, the Hard Rock hotels and cafes are both a part of Hard Rock International, and yes, it was a fantastic experience, Lana.
