Hi, I’m back!!! Miss me? I missed you guys! WOW, that Royal Caribbean sale was great for biz!
So last year I spent 5 days at the (then new) Secrets Silversands. Great resort and the most requested drink there was the Miami Vice! I kept looking around for Don Johnson, but he was nowhere to be found. Oh no, I think I just dated myself…Sorry, but I am a product of the ’80’s. I even have pictures of 2 guests from my (formal) wedding that dressed like Crockett & Tubbs!
Back to the drink – – – Enjoy!

You have to agree this resembles one of Crockett's Suits...
This drink is all about the presentation—getting a clear separation of white (piña colada) from red (strawberry daiquiri).
First, blend together 2.5 ounces of your favorite rum with 1 cup of ice and 4 ounces of piña colada mix. Blend until smooth and then set aside. Rinse out your blender and add 2.5 ounces of the same rum, 1 cup of ice and 4 ounces of strawberry daiquiri mix. Now, layer in a hurricane glass the pina colada and strawberry daiquiri creating a red and white stripe.
Okay, so I could not pass up talking about this wonderful all-inclusive resort today! The reason – I was sent a picture on FB of their fantastic Caesar Salad from their outdoor cafe. Why didn’t I think of taking the picture myself when I was there last October?
So here’s a little info on this resort which about 20 minutes south of Cancun Airport:
A modern marvel in contemporary design, Secrets Silversands Riviera brings sophistication and distinction to the Riviera Maya. This all-suite resort presents “Unlimited-Luxury” in an innovative way featuring suspended beds, chic modern fabrics, alluring décor and captivating lighting. Gourmet à la carte restaurants, eight posh bars and the lavish Secrets Spa by Pevonia are just some of the indulgent amenities set amidst the silvery surroundings.
Yes, this room is GREAT! Neil & I unfortunately had a garden/very partial oceanview, but we still enjoyed it. If you are considering a trip to Mexico, drop me a line and I would be happy to book this for your next vacation memory!
