Marbella On The Beach Cabo San Lucas

... They sure pour the tequila quite freely here. Let’s see...it’s hot, haven’t eaten for about 4 hours and drinking tequila. I sense trouble brewing....



We do a bit of partying with the staff (along with most of the customers in the bar) and then hurry off to our meeting point for 12:30.


A short walk to the dolphin area, we don our life jackets and head out ...

... not that the price was good but it was considerably cheeper than it would have been otherwise. Tying up at the dock always comes with showers, and that is always a welcome advantage!

We've eaten some delicious local cuisine and have had one or two margaritas/beers. Kevin apparently was paying better attention during spanish class then he let on because he is whipping out the spanish left and right! Kevin and Zach have ...

... around together all the time, it was cute. It was just a day filled with sea life! And it was a beautiful sunny day on top of everything else!

The boys were able to catch several tuna and one bonita along the way, which kept them pretty happy. They got so excited every time they landed one and got to eat some good fresh fish that day! I wasn’t quite as thrilled but at least I didn’t have to cook them dinner that way!

Phenominal weather at the most beautiful port in all of Mexico.

We rode in on a tender and then took a water taxi tour of the rocks. Cost us about $16 each (plus tip). Went wtih 3 other people - Anthony (from previous cruises) was getting a ride to the beach. There was one other Atlanits guest (we forgot to ansk his name) and a woman from one of the other cuiseships (Carinal Splendor and Celebrity Infinity were both in port as well ...

... and also claims to be home to THE Hotel California that the Eagles were going on about. I don't know about that but it's a lovely place, with a restaurant and lovely internal courtyard with a fountain an that. We hung around a bit, almost passing out in the heat and then had an amble around the small town. Got chatting to an American woman selling jewellery on the street who warned us not to try swimming on the beach as three people had recently ...

... strong Peso has devalued 30% from it's high last August - which means 30% off everything in the country.
That being said the Hotel Barcelo chain has always proven to be one of the best in my experience as well for a great all around all-inclusive experience. I’m looking forward to the opening of a new location in Los Cabos in December. The promotion they are running is good for 45% off any reservation with the hotel having ...

... was actually under 50 pounds! It was about a 4 hour flight down to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, so we arrived there at about 10:30 in the morning to get our hotel shuttle to Royal Solaris. As soon as we arrived, we were met by sunshine, drinks, and Freddy. Freddy was our members services representatives, and one of the coolest guys I have ever met! He sat us down, told us about our week and the activities....and when he asked "is there anything else I can do for you ladies?" I piped in ...

... a fish and feeding them three shots. Our Bachelor got caught, and it made for a good time. Escaping The Gigglin' Marlin then became a priority, so we headed across the street for some live rock n roll at Cabo Wabo Cantina. Cabo Wabo was a great spot, providing lots of bar space, and a huge dance floor. After paying homage to The Red Rocker, Sammy Hagar, we had to call it a night.

... up a few items before leaving Cabo. So we returned to our car and drove off realizing we had a flat tire. We were really ****** off because at first we thought someone had punctured it on purpose but that was not the case as we found out later. It took us awhile to change the tire and it was the first time we used our new 'jack'. We were in a busy area and most everyone that walked by always tried to help us ...

... I finally found the beach and laid in the sun for the whole day...without sunscreen! why did i do that to myself? i got really burnt that day. 5) No only was my foot still in pain from the fall the first night, but after the first day, my whole body was itchy and burning from the southern sun. then i started peeling! 6) My most anticipated tour of the trip got cancelled because of weather conditions....kidding me? god must be telling ...
