Welcome to In The Roo, and on Thursday, Quintana Roo!

All Inclusives are a great way to get your feet wet in a new place. Don't feel bad for booking one for your first time to the area. Once you get out and explore a little, you will find other areas around here that you can stay at your next time around.

Which AI will you be at? We hope you'll post some of your experiences there after the fact.

The one at the bar with a beer and a shot of Jaeger... I think I saw you a few times last Friday.

Have a great vacation!

There is so much good eating in PDC and the Yucatan in general.

I hope you have a fabulous visit.

Hi Zambusta It's great to have you here!
Looking forward to a trip report when you get back. (who am I so speak about a t/r...I haven't even done mine yet. )


When are you going? And where is Valentine?
