blake and I got to travel to playa del carmen with Nuance last week!Blake is in sales now so since he met his yearly quota he won a trip to the "Chairman's Club" and this year it was at the Fairmont Riviera Maya!
It was an AMAZING trip! The place was so nice and the best part was that Nuance paid for everything! Meals, drinks by the pool, transportation, tips, fees, everything! The only thing we had to pay for was our luggage fee! It was unreal. It wasn't even an all inclusive resort!
The resort had tons of casitas that were like condos and they were spread out over the property all the way to the ocean. To get to the main building and the pool you could use bikes they had around everywhere or golf carts.
here was our casita!
the view from our balcony!
a neat iguana that was posing for us
another amazing thing about blake's company...they paid for us to take two excursions each! We went one day to Xplor. It is a really cool place that has zip lining, ATV riding, rafting in caves, etc. We had a blast! You walked through these caves with stalagmites to get everywhere.
we look pretty cool
you even zip line into the caves at some of the stations
our second excursion was massages at the Spa at the resort! It was soooo nice!The rest of the trip we read and lounged by the pool! So amazing!
I read "Unbroken" by Laura Hillebrand (who wrote Seabiscuit). One of the most amazing (true) stories! March recommended it and it was awesome! Highly recommended to everyone to read!

They even had gifts for Blake every night in the room! I mean it was ridiculous! They even brought in Maroon 5 for a private concert for Nuance the last night but unfortunately we left a day early! I told Blake to get home and get craking on meeting his quota! Next year the trip is Hawaii!!!!

ReplyDeleteHello Amy, I was researching about Nuance Chairman's Club and I ran across your blog. I'm Brazilian, my husband works at Nuance and he was invited to this year trip. He has registered us but I wasn´t sure if the company was going to pay for everything, specially in our case (we are so far from HI rsrs). Well, I hope we have the same luck you had and have all our expenses paid. And I wish to meet you in Hawaii.
ReplyDeletePS: You have lovely girls! Congrats!
