Last month, contributing writer Regina Baraban spent a few days at the Sandos Cancun Lifestyle Resort , where clients can soak up the sun, snorkel with wildlife, sip on hipster cocktails, and sample delicious dishes.
Arrival to the boutique all-inclusive Sandos Cancun Lifestyle Resort. Guests receive a warm welcome in the elegant lobby. View of the white sand beach and turquoise Caribbean Sea that fronts the resort. Our welcome cocktail, a watermelon vodka martini—perfect for the tropics. A bucket-list excursion snorkeling with whale sharks gave us close-up views of these huge vegetarian fishes. After our snorkeling adventure, we headed to a beautiful beach on Isla Mujeres for a light lunch. Waiter Gustavo gave us a fun Teppanyaki show, and a yummy dinner, at Gaijin restaurant. Who doesn’t love being pampered at one of the Caribbean’s most celebrated spas? We chose from an assortment of organic products to make our personalized body scrub. Every day a Rhythm Experience animates the pool areas with a DJ playing a different musical genre; our Saturday theme was Champagne and Sparkles. Poolside guests joined a conga line down to one of the resort’s three infinity pools for Saturday’s Champagne Rhythm Experience. Dancers got their groove on in the seaside pool amidst pillows of bubbles on Champagne Saturday. Rhythm Experience cocktails, ready for beachside service. Tostada and fresh fruit were among a huge selection of tasty dishes at the breakfast buffet. A spectacular goodbye sunset view from my guestroom.
