Beach Palace

One of the days of our trip we took a shuttle to Cancun's Hotel Zone.  I would equate the Hotel Zone to Las Vegas' strip.  It is hotel after hotel with lots of touristy stores and restaurants in between.  We stopped at Beach Palace, so we could use our all-inclusive privileges and visit their rooftop pool and lounge area.  It rained while we were there, so we also spent some time just wandering around the hotel and found a cool little sports bar with lots of tvs and pool tables.

 It was fun to see a different portion of Cancun.  I feel in love with this beach because it is exactly what you think of when you envision Cancun and the Caribbean Sea...turquoise water and white sand....gorgeous.  We spent a lot of time wandering around checking the hotel and eventually Addy feel asleep.  

The quiet gave Tim and I some time to debate the pros/cons of Beach Palace and to talk about baseball since it was the day of the All Star game (Yeah National League!!).  Then we took our shuttle back to our quiet Moon Palace.
