In November 2001 we did a timeshare exchange into the Royal Mayan Resort in Cancun, Mexico. We had a full two-bedroom unit at this timeshare, so we invited our "vacation buddies" Scott and Karin Cerasale to join us from Florida. The weather had us worried in the days preceding our vacation, because Hurricane Michelle was moving towards Cancun. But the storm turned eastward in the nick of time, and the rain stopped the day after we arrived. The weather was gorgeous for the rest of our stay.

	This aerial view shows the three "sister resorts" (the Royal Islander, the Royal Caribbean, and the Royal Mayan), located on the beach in the Hotel Zone of Cancun. There are two other associated resorts (the Royal Sands and the Vacation Club International) located a few miles north. When staying at one resort, you are free to use the many amenities of all the resorts, and a shuttle bus constantly runs between them.Â
Â	 This is the view looking east toward the ocean, over the top of the low oceanfront buildings (where our unit was located).
Â	 Here's one last view from that rooftop, looking down on the pool area.Â
Â	 The pool bar was a lot of fun, especially the swim-up portion downstairs.
Â	 There were plenty of palapas and lounge chairs down on the beach.
Â	 The water was still a beautiful color even when a rainstorm passed by.
Â	 We had a great dinner at the Captain's Cove restaurant across the street on the bayside.
Â	 The resort lobby had these colorful stained-glass windows depicting Mayan scenes.
