The
Valentin Imperial Maya resort was a wonderful, relaxing vacation. I can't believe that this time last week I was spending my last day at this pool.
Sniff, sniff.
Today I'm home from school as I'm staying safe and dry while the outer bands of Isaac crash through Central Florida. It's been a downpour for the past 10 hours.
I have a few more
vacation recaps that I want to share with you. Today's post is all about the entertainment at our all-inclusive resort.
Some people opt for excursions while on vacation. For us, there's so much to do at the resort and the thought of having "no schedule" is heaven, so we stay on property.
The obvious thing to do is lay by the pool and beach. We did plenty of that.
Another highlight of our trip was animal encounters. Kyle is notorious for feeding iguanas when we're on vacation.
These iguanas were especially aggressive. Seriously. Those little ones would boogie for a kiwi. When people would walk by and stare at us feeding animals, I would say quietly, "Don't worry. We are scientists."
Is that weird?
We encountered a totally new animal on this vacation.
Can someone please tell me what this is?
This raccoon/lemur/bear creature stopped by to say hello at our first breakfast.
Later that day we saw an entire pack searching for foods in the brush. How cute are their upturned mouths? We nicknamed them "cappy bears".
Valentin Imperial Maya did a wonderful job of nighttime entertainment too.
Every night there was a movie playing around 6pm. We never watched, but it's a nice option. Two nights they had live shows that are amazing. And by amazing I mean, entertaining and laughable. There was a musical Grease show and a Circus show. I enjoyed mocking them both
(which as a former performer I am allowed to do).
Our favorite nighttime activity was sitting in the Plaza listening to the live band.
Who doesn't love signing along to 80's love ballads in a tropical setting? Not this duo.

There was never a shortage of entertainment and fun at the Valentin Imperial Maya.
Do you book excursions when you vacation or just chill?
Love and cappy bears,
Carissa & Kyle
