could be seen from the bar's patio, 
where they had the most fabulous pina coladas I've ever had. (Could be the atmosphere as well, but darn, they were good!)
When you arrive, you must notify the front desk and have them come and get you, as cars are strictly verboten. I have no idea how much land the hotel actually takes up, but it is simply lovely.
The first night we stayed in one of the rooms in the main building, where we had a great jungle view:
and we first got to use the sarongs a friend had given us for an engagement gift:
(Note: If you are going to vacation in humid places, these are wonderful to have!) Andy and I each have one, but he refused to be photographed "in a skirt." There were directions for wearing it in a diaper fashion, but we didn't discuss that one....We hired a Mayan gentleman to take us on a tour of the ruins that morning
which made it a bit more personal as he was obviously proud of his heritage. And who can blame him? They might have been a bit on the violent side, but you can't fault their architecture:
We had originally planned to only stay one night, but it was so wonderful and so amazing that when a bungalow became available for the next night, we leapt at it:
We shared a large patio with the people next door:
whom we never saw
and just down a little footpath:
we had a lovely pool all to ourselves:
Well, except for an iguana or two
I never saw them in the pool--I don't suppose they cared much for the chlorine, but they enjoyed sunning by the pool while I swam. Which was all for the best, really. My spirit of adventure falls somewhere short of swimming with large lizards........To be continued........
