The resort was geared towards families, but was not over run. Our day consisted of waking up and going right outside to our patio and saying "hola" to all the 'guys' (aka the resort employees) as they walked by.Then we'd get dressed and head to breakfast. We'd usually hit the beach in the morning. Gabe had a ball his first time seeing the ocean and playing on the sandy beach. After lunch we'd head back to the room for a nap. Our room was perfect for a napping toddler. We were on the first floor with one of the pools right outside our room. After Gabe would go down, we'd sit on the patio, and alternate taking an occasional dip, and one would take a stroll to the bar to bring back cocktails and enjoy 2 hours to ourselves on the patio. After nap time, it was usually straight to the 'wa-wa park.' There was an awesome kid's section with a splash park, baby pool and water slide. Then showers and dinner. Next day, repeat.
It was great to get away to a fabulous location, but really to spend five days together having fun as a family!
Now for WAY too many photos...

Your trip looks like so much fun! Gabe looks so cute in his summer clothes and sunglasses. Looks like a beautiful place and a relaxing time! Glad you're back safely.
Wow, that place looks perfect for kids! I especially love your naptime routine :) It looks like you guys had a blast. Seriously what is better than family time, sun, beach, pool, cocktails, relaxation?? Btw, I'm dying over that chillin' photo of Gabe with the shades on the lounge chair!!! He really seems to have the personality to pull that off.
Wow- this trip sounds amazing and it looks like you were at a great resort. I can't wait up take our boys to Mexico. We loved the Mayan when we went pre-children.
Wow - that is so cool! Looks and sounds like you guys had a wonderful time. You should play the lotto too. :)
Looks like you guys had a great time! I love Gabe's chillin photo! And so cool that this was a prize that was won!
How. Much. Fun. I love that he brought his "drums" on the vacation. There really in no vacation when you are a super duper rock star. How old does Gabe look in the last photo? Omigosh! He looks like he's in kindergarden!
This routine sounds absolutely dreamy! What a great prize, lucky! You all look like you enjoyed yourselves.
