Spring Break : Cancun (Part 2)

The shuttle took us to the hotel that Student City had booked for us to stay in, Krystal. Upon arrival, we were told that the hotel had over booked and could no longer accommodate us and we had to move to another hotel, Oasis, which was fine because that’s where we wanted to be in the first place and had only booked Krystal because we were told that Oasis was fully booked as well. We than, took a shuttle from Krsytal to Oasis. Most of our first day in Cancun was spent waiting in lines to check in. We were able to convince some boys from Australia also on break to let us cut the line, which definitely cut down on a good amount of time. We finally checked into our room and got situated. We were on the first floor and could walk right out to the beach from the sliding doors.

We next needed to find the Student City representatives to get out wristbands so that we had access to all of the hotel pools, bars and nightlife events. This was in another branch of the hotel, so we got a good feeling where everything was while we were wandering around the resort.

After this, we were free to enjoy our vacation. We found the rest of our friends from URI without much of a problem and began enjoying ourselves finally. Throughout the week, we spent most of our days in the pool drinking, or down on the beach. And we spent the nights going out to different clubs and bars. We got to attend Day Glow, and see Avicii, DJ Chuckie and Laidback Luke all during that week. It was different than in America, specifically Rhode Island because everything doesn’t close there at 1AM, the clubs stay open all night. We took public transportation buses to the city from the resort each night, which was about an 8-minute ride in. We usually wouldn’t go out until 1130 or 12Am and wouldn’t get back to the resort until around 4AM. I was awake for the sunrise just about every single morning. Living in paradise and on a different time schedule was not only different, but more exciting and a nice change of pace.
