Please forgive my blog-related lazines over the last few weeks; the usual end-of-semester hullabaloo was followed by a lovely week in Mexico with my husband and daughter, and I am slowly catching up. As I ponder an interesting article sent to me by a friend (thanks, Sophie!) and consider my next post, I’m hoping you’ll accept a plug for a refreshingly baby-friendly hotel on the Riviera Maya.
The staff at the Azul Beach Hotel treated my family (including 10-month-old Lily) like we were their family. Two out of two parents chez Mayeux/Wyro agree: This is one great hotel for parents travelling with their children. The staff doted on our daughter and were so very friendly and warm. The hotel had cribs, pack-n-plays, radio monitors, sand toys, and even Gerber baby food. There’s an activity center for children 4 years and older, with lots of planned activities (bracelet making, anyone?) and experienced caregivers. You can even hire a private sitter for the evening.
With only 97 rooms, the hotel is quiet and intimate, and nothing is more than a few minutes’ walk from your room. Two of the three pools are less than 3 feet deep, and the surf is calm. We plunked Lily in the sand our first day there and enjoyed her giggles as the water gently chased her around the beach. Fun stuff we’ll always remember.
Two thumbs up for this peaceful, beautiful resort.
And now, back to our regularly scheduled child development-related blogging.
