Our first day at Decameron Los Cocos in Rincon de Guayabitos was cloudy. Apparently the first cloudy day since November…hmmm not so sure if I believe that although our Vancouver weather may be clouding my faith.
It was actually kind of a relief since my blue/translucent skin probably couldn’t have taken the blazing sun right off the bat.
The resort itself is simple with not many bells and whistles and only 3 restaurants and a snack bar. But the grounds are beautifully landscaped and incredibly clean. The rooms we had were in the new part of the resort and were large and comfortable, although next time I wouldn’t bother upgrading and would opt for a room close to the beach and the “action”. The food was good with lots of variety, and the staff was happy and friendly. It seemed that the hotel was mostly occupied by Mexican families and retired Canadians back for the 3rd, 4th, 5th time. Great Value!!!
We had a walk on the bustling beach pointing out the fanfare to our wide-eyed babes. (Not sure if I mentioned we went with another couple and their 18-month-old boy, more on that later) The majority of people on the beach were Mexican and on vacation from other parts of the country, all kinds of family activity.
There were a number of fishmongers selling fish right off their boats: red snapper, eel, shrimp and those were just the ones I could identify…many more! And of course the huge pelicans were swooping in – a little too close to my head – jostling for position in order to catch the heads and guts being flung to the side.
The vendors with their colourful blow up toys attached to every square inch of the cart looked like balloons threatening to lift off in a gust of wind. And with all of this activity, Little E managed to pick out the mangy dogs and puppies with a shriek and giggle – something familiar I suppose. Her first official word: doggie, sounding more like “dah-ee”.
I love little E's summer fashion!! So cute!
