Mother/Daughter Cruise: Progreso

One of the stops on our Cruise was to Progreso on the Yucatan Peninsula. We woke up early that morning so we could eat breakfast before we got off the ship. Here are some pics of our ship pulling into Progreso.






We chose the "All inclusive beach resort getaway" for our excursion. We booked it months in advance but our cruise director told us on the ship it was his very favorite thing to do in Progreso!

On the drive to the resort, we had a fantastic tour guide who told us all about the culture, animals and life on the island. It was very interesting. Progreso is a tiny island and only one ship is there at a time but I loved it. The people were so kind and it wasn't overly crowed with tourists. 
The resort was so beautiful!! It was a private beach so very quiet and open.


like a little piece of paradise



 We went straight for the beach and grabbed a spot on the front row of lounge chairs. We spent most of the day relaxing and listening to the waves. Our day included a Mexican buffet and I got a massage right there on the beach, it was so amazing!

these people were so friendly, they waved for my picture

loving the view

They served coconut water straight from the coconut, they just chopped off the top and made a straw hole. I had to drink it just because it was a coconut and I was on the beach!

we did put our feet in the water but it was a little cold for our taste 



we loved the entertainment at the resort, they had a ton of things going on 
Highlight of the day.. when Mike, Sully and Marty showed up on the beach




On the way back to the bus we saw this iguana hiding out on the roof 

 When we got back to the port we spent some time shopping for souvenirs.

 We stayed off the ship as long as we could but sadly the time came for us to get back on board.
