A Quick but Memorable Getaway to Cancun

A couple of months ago, Nicole and I escaped the winter cold for a much-needed Cancun getaway in January. It all started when I got an offer from the Westin Resort & Spa in Cancun—a 4-night stay for just around $300. At that price, how could we say no?

We made the most of our short trip, soaking up the sun, swimming, and snorkeling in the crystal-clear waters. Whether we were lounging by the pool, walking along the beach, or just relaxing with a drink in hand, it was exactly the kind of break we needed.

I even planned a couples massage for us, thinking it would be a nice touch to our getaway. Well… let’s just say it wasn’t quite worth the money. It wasn’t terrible, but it definitely didn’t live up to expectations. Lesson learned!

One of the most memorable nights was dining right by the ocean. The setting was perfect—until a huge downpour hit. The restaurant had a thatched roof, but unfortunately, it wasn’t fully waterproof. So there we were, enjoying our meal, while water dripped all around us. Instead of letting it ruin the night, we just laughed and made the best of it. It’s moments like that that make a trip truly unforgettable.

Even though the trip was short, it was exactly what we needed—a chance to relax, recharge, and create new memories together. Cancun, we’ll definitely be back!
