Spring Break in Cancun!

Spring Break Time

After a cold winter that felt like it was lasting forEVER, we took off to Cancun to enjoy some rejuvenation at Le Blanc Spa Resort.  Upon entering the lobby, we were fumbling with our bags and looking every bit the frazzled New Yorkers.  One of the Le Blanc staff gracefully approached, gently coaxed the bags from our hands, and said: "Do not worry.  You are officially on vacation now."  And from that moment until the moment we left, we truly did not have to worry about a thing.  Every single person at Le Blanc was so friendly, approachable, and accommodating.  At one point we made what we thought might be an odd food request, and were simply told: "Anything is possible."  Needless to say, just a few days here was all we needed to shed all the stress of work and winter and come back fully energized ready to face the spring.  

 

Our first glance at the infinity pool after shedding our bags.

 Our first lunch at the International Buffet.  They cooked every meat to perfection, and even had the option to choose your own raw meat or fish from a buffet display and have it grilled right in front of you!

Tasty guacamole was a pleasant addition to every meal.  And the mixed drinks were made with delicious fresh fruit of our choosing!

One of our favorite indulgences besides the beach and spa was the room service!  Nothing like piping hot coffee from the comfort of your room before heading out for the day.  

And we discovered a tasty dish that we wound up ordering a lot - chilaquiles.  Definitely going to try making it at home!

 Another thing we loved about the room service option is that you could also order items from the various resort restaurants and have them delivered to your room.  We loved the chance to have tasty dinners without having to get all dressed up after a day at the beach.  One of our favorite dishes was the pasta sampler from Blanc Italia.

 All the reviews of Le Blanc said visitors must check out the tasting menu at Lumiere, Le Blanc's French restaurant.  So we decided to make that a special dinner for our last night in Cancun.  Though we weren't hungry enough to do the full tasting menu, we did enjoy seafood appetizers (shown above) and the chef-recommended Angus beef entree (paired interestingly with lentils). 

 Guess you could say we created our own surf and turf.  lol  Delicious!

 Thank you for a lovely vacation, Le Blanc!  Hopefully we'll see you again soon!
