Day 5-Chill beach and teppanyaki 🌊

Today was a slow day for all of us after a wild night before haha! A few of the friends were a little bit hungover, and we let the breakfast server know. He was so sweet in bringing all of us a Mexican hangover drink! It’s called Suero. He told us it’s made with mineral water, lime juice mixed with salt. It’s almost like a lime flavoured Gatorade! It definitely helped a bit.
Two of the friends also went on an excursion off the resort to the nearby city today. Another friend and myself stayed on the resort to just chill on the beach. It was a slow but nice and relaxing day.
In the evening, we got a reservation at the teppanyaki restaurant on the resort at 5pm. Wish there was a later time slot, but this was the only time available by the time we booked. Our two other friends came back at 4:30, just in time, but they were definitely tired haha! We made it to our reservation and were seated with another Mexican family.
They gave us all a few appetizers. The first was a plate of “sushi”. I put this in quotes because I wouldn’t call it real sushi since there was cream cheese in some of them… it was alright. Then we were given a ramen appetizer. The noodles weren’t real ramen though, definitely some other sort of noodle. Then the show began. The chef came and started cooking. He was an ok performer. The teppanyaki chefs always put on a small show for the customers they’re serving. They did a few tricks but I feel like the chefs in Toronto would do a bit better haha 😅 Let’s just say I wasn’t that impressed. They made all of us fried rice, with chicken, beef and shrimp skewers. It tasted fine but I felt like it was all quite salty… the last was dessert, we got matcha cheesecake, but you couldn’t taste the matcha, only sweet cheesecake. Overall, I’d rate this restaurant a 4/10 😕 Not great…
One of the friends was quite tired so they headed back to the room to rest. The 3 of us stayed and got ice cream (as usual). There was bingo going on and we joined for fun. Who would’ve thought that joining bingo would be so fun and entertaining and competitive?! We loved it!!
After the bingo, there was a karaoke session happening, where people could submit a random song and they could go on stage to sing in front of everyone. I was very close to submitting a song but I was too shy 🙈
The evening ended with us checking out the evening DJ (our friend Gabriel was dj-ing) so it was nice! Shortly after, we left to go sleep!Read more
