Tropical Beach Party (Mary Curry)Tropical beach party (Mary Curry)
The hotel hosted two incredibly well done beach dinners- one tropical theme and the other with a Mexican theme. The tropical night had an incredible team of singers and dancers who demonstrated traditional dances from across the world of tropical destinations. There were dozens of food stalls and I barely made it halfway around.

Drinks were also plentiful though I got so enamored watching the dancers that I forgot to get up for dessert or beverages as I didn't want to miss anything.

For the Mexican night, the decorations were even more elaborate with brightly colored streamers, flowered arches and block letters spelling out Mexico on the way in. Along the pathway we were offered drinks and popsicles and everyone was dressed festively.

I decided to be more sensible and survey my options before filling my plate. Food options were overwhelming and beautifully presented. They had skewers roasting over an open flame and a beautiful buffet of salsas on the table.

Everywhere I looked there were carts laden with candied apples and cotton candy.
As the party was winding down, there was a pinata. All the kids got to line up and take a swing. These were hearty pinatas and even a few adults (myself included) got to take a whack at them after the kids tired. The night finished with a small fireworks display.

Excellent travel advice and service
This is my second experience working with Adventure Life. I’m sold. Jess Heuermann is an experienced traveler and provides a lot of useful information when planning a trip. These are the questions I like to ask at the outset - What’s it like to go here, there, what would you suggest, what do people report, can we add any additional side trips? Jess took the time to answer my questions and seek additional information to share with me. Petchie Colina is outstanding in helping with travel logistics and final preparations. Adventure Life has excellent guides and offers private guides and small group adventures. We enjoyed the opportunity to talk with the guides and drivers to learn more about their countries, cultures and histories. A highlight was having the guides pick local restaurants where we could share meals together. Highly recommend.

Our six-day tour in Iceland went smoothly with one exception. We had asked for two rooms each night. Somehow we were booked with one room with three beds. It could not be fixed at the first hotel in Reykjavik because the hotel was fully booked. Once informed of the problem, however, Adventure Life rebooked for two rooms for the remainder of the trip. As an 85-year-old traveler, I appreciated that one could participate at different physical levels at many of the stops. Iceland is a great place to visit but on the expensive side.

Jess was very easy going and answered all our questions. It’s not easy dealing with 6 people at once but she did an outstanding job!

Kassandra and the Adventure Life team have been incredible! Kassandra was very knowledgeable and attentive to our asks while making sure we kept within our budget. This was our first experience with a travel agent and we were blown away by the booking/initial exploration service. We will use Adventure Life again.
