After we landed we picked up a rental car and drove from Cancun to Playa del Carmen. It's really short and on the way Nathan re-learned how to drive a stick shift. Don't worry, it came back quick :)
We haphazardly made it to our first hotel, La Tortuga a little tired and frazzled but they were fantastic. As soon as I walked in Lisa at the front desk immediately deduced who we were, took our bags, and showed us to the restaurant where they had a table waiting for us. No checking in until after dinner. It was awesome.
Dinner under the stars was so great, I was in total disbelief that we were there.
They escorted us to a rooftop terrace for dinner where they had a table for us under the stars. They knew we were on our honeymoon but neither of us had requested this sort of special treatment, it was perfect. I couldn't have asked for anything else!
The photos really don't do the spot justice, it was fantastic.
After our welcome dinner we went up to our room. They gave it the honeymoon treatment too, complete with love birds made of towels, rose petals and champagne on ice. I didn't want to touch anything and mess it up!
The honeymoon suite.
The towel birds were a bride and groom. Cheesy, cute and totally appropriate!
They even filled the jacuzzi for us!
What a great place to stay for the first night of our trip!
