I hate to even write this because when you write a recap of something that means it's over! After 2+ years of hoping and planning and anticipating, in one short week POOF, it really was over. But it was totally worth the long-ass wait and it was every bit as amazing as I'd hoped it would be.
Last month, D and I and the bestie and her hubby spent a week at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. To say it was awesome is an understatement. I don't even know how to begin describing it, so I'll just let the pictures mostly speak for themselves.
The beach:
 |
| Little did I know that that wave behind me was about to almost take me down! |
The room:
The resort grounds:
 |
| One of the 13 pools at the resort |
The adventures:
 |
| Squeaky clean... but not for long. |
 |
| Jumping into a natural cave pool to clean off a bit midway through. |
 |
| Paddleboarding is not as easy as some people make it look! |
The relaxation and recreation:
 |
| Michele took up bird watching while we were there. HAHA! |
 |
| This is shortly before I went down for the count with one too many cocktails! |
 |
| Entrance to the spa. Facials and massages for everyone! |
 |
| The pool in the sensory relaxation area of the spa that you got to hang out in after your paid service. |
 |
| I had to try a Cuban cigar. Just to say I did. |
The getting cleaned up and going out:
And then the leaving:
 |
| Sad face :( |
It was a spectacular trip, and I'm beyond happy that we got to share it with such amazing friends! Now where to next...? :)Labels: Dominican Republic, Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, Punta Cana
