Theme Night Parties - FIFTH NIGHT: KARAOKE NIGHT

On our fourth day at Hidden Beach a tropical depression moved through Cancun. Even though we didn’t mind being out in the rain, we felt like we wanted to do something a little different. So after having three days filled with eating, drinking and activities on the Hidden Beach side of the wall, we decided to don our clothes, grab our umbrellas and take a stroll around El Dorado Seaside Suites (the sister resort next door which shared privileges with HB guests). El Dorado is much larger than the 42 room Hidden Beach (not sure exactly how many rooms they possess, 300-400, somewhere in that ballpark). It was lovely, very much like our HB with its buildings and landscape, but definitely lacking in other ways.

We found we missed the intimacy we experienced on our side of the wall. The staff smiled nicely, other guests nodded their heads or gave a tight lipped smile in response to our hellos, but it just didn’t give me the warm and fuzzy feeling we enjoyed at HB. I wasn’t imagining it either, for my husband said he felt it too. One exception however, as we were walking hand in hand snuggled beneath our umbrella, we met up with a very personable young man. He said, “Oh, how lovely, muy romantico”. We said thank you, and chatted briefly with him. He was the friendliest of all we had met on EDS side of the wall. We introduced ourselves and he then told us his name, Rodrigo, but said we could call him “RoRo”. He jokingly told us we could remember his name by saying “RoRo is sexy”, he laughed and strutted away.

Once back at Hidden Beach, we received a brief interval from the rain and decided to check out the pool crew at the swim up bar. As we returned to our rooms to resume our au natural state, we entered the pool and swam up to the bar again. We joined in on the conversation which was going on around the bar when an announcement came over the loud-speaker, they were about to begin their staff versus guest volley ball game. We sat back and watched as the players gathered, and who should we see… RoRo! He had come to our side to play volleyball with us. In the days to come, we got to know this wonderful young man as he interacted with us as entertainment director, along with our little Ingrid.

When he saw us after the game he pointed his finger at us and gave us a great smile. He said, “Aaahh, I should have known you were over here”. He later told us that he much preferred to be on our side of the resort because the guests were much warmer and fun. I guess when we were so friendly and engaging while we chatted, that was the notable difference.

We had experienced another wonderful day, and we’d made so many new friends now, it was a challenge to remember the names of everyone we were becoming acquainted with. Learning about their lives, sharing laughs and special moments, it was the best time getting to know all of these wonderful people, so much so, we find ourselves laughing and cherishing moments as we reminisce over our time with them.

As I stated when I began with this page, we had shared three wonderful days of eating, drinking and activities. Our energy was beginning to wane a bit and we feared we were beginning to feel, dare I say…our age? My husband actually began to feel a little under the weather and the outdoor weather was becoming intense with thunder and lightning looming about. So we ate our meal, returned to our room for a shower, and then with the comfort of that king size bed beneath our tired bodies, we made the decision to stay in and skip karaoke. We cuddled and drifted off to sleep, gaining strength to party yet another day.
