August 15, 2010

we took the red-eye out of lax to san salvador, then onto cancun early sunday morning.
we arrived in cancun before noon.
we stayed at casa turquesa, a little 29-room boutique hotel, located next to plaza kukulcan.
the first day we were there, we only noticed 1 other family there. in the ensuing days, a few more showed up. still, we basically had the place to ourselves. totally nice.
such personal service...everyone there seemed to know our name and room # already, anticipating us. it was nice, relaxing, and quiet.
below is the view from our first room (we changed after a few hours because the a/c wasn't working properly)


this is the view from the lobby, out towards the caribbean.
same view, but i'm standing outside the double doors, at the top of the steps.
view from the patio area adjacent to the pool, with the beach below
180 degree turn from the picture above. view of the hotel, the pool, and the restaurant, belle vue at right (not pictured)
