Good Morning from Hyatt Vivid Grand Island! What a beautiful location, south of the Zona Hotelera and Isla Mujeres!! Angie inquired about possible upgrade options and was able to get an amazing room for a fantastic price. This has the largest balcony I've ever seen. We either need more friends or more furniture.
Angie had been staying at the new Margaritaville adults only in Puerto Morelos for a few days at a travel advisor conference. Stay tuned to her Trips with Angie page for details about that resort and this one. We both met up about 1 PM at Hyatt Vivid. This is a high-rise complex with eleven floors of rooms with a rooftop pool, bar and restaurant. It has several restaurants and pools as well as access to an off-site beach club. And the views!!
Dinner last night was at Mediterranean which of course features Asian cuisine. Just kidding. We started with the most amazing mezze platter.
Fresh pita along with baba ganoush, hummus, tzsatzi and briny olives!! A great start. Also had a lamb and beef gyro. The ground meat had amazing flavors of garlic, cumin, rosemary and a hint of mint!! For our mains we both had seared salmon cooked perfectly medium rare!! It could have used a bit more salt but the dill sauce and pea puree brought it all together.
Today we don't have any definitive plans. We may order room service or just yeah something at Coco Cafe, the 24 hour coffee shop. Angie is going to try to attend a soap making class. There is a pool side restaurant which may be a good option for lunch. And there is pool volleyball at 4.
For tonight's dinner, the resort is having a special July 4th party and dinner out by the pool. We'll put aside the oddity of a Mexican resort "celebrating" the birth of the United States, especially in today's political climate. But I expect it to be a fun event. If you purchased a bottle of wine, you also received a table for two.
