Travel Diary: Night Photos- End of Trip

Here are a few of my favorite dusk to dark photos from the resort in the Dominican Republic.

This resort is called Iberostar Costa Dorada. It is gorgeous, especially at night when
the different colors pour forth in every direction with the help of lights. My photos do no justice.

The food was amazing, the service was awesome, entertainment was amusing, and the wedding was
fabulous. If you are ever in that part of the world, this is a must. It has been voted one of the top
resorts to visit around the world. This is the last bunch of photos of our trip, I hope that you enjoyed.

Travel Diary: Around the Pool

The hotel provides many activities to keep you entertained and the view alone is amazing.

When you step toward the back of the pool, you can see the mountains in the background

and it is a beautiful sight.

Travel Diary: The Beach

We arrived in the Caribbean after the tropical storm had seized. The weather was beautiful

after that, but the beach brought a lot of seaweed. They cleaned it everyday, but it just kept coming.

We didn't let that stop us from enjoying the ocean. Follow me on our walk to the beach below.

Isn't it beautiful? They provide a lot of activities such as snorkeling, kayaking and more.
If you are ever in the Caribbean, this is one stop you might want to consider.

Travel Diary: Arrival at the Resort

We arrived at our hotel in the afternoon and the first thing we saw when we entered the lobby was this

enormous rustic chandelier, they have several in the lobby area, then the water feature in the center of the lobby surrounded by beautiful furnishings from the island. After check-in, we walked by the courtyard and caught a glimpse of the architecture and cafe-style iron tables and chairs.

Did I mention there are flamingos, peacocks & turtles? We were all loving it!

If you aren't content to just sit by the pool at the Iberostar Costa Dorada, there are activities all around the resort, from archery to merengue lessons. (From: Photos: Best Beachfront All-Inclusive Resorts that Fit Your Budget).

You have probably noticed a two week respite on this blog
and perhaps other social media pages. That is because I was spending time with
my family, I was researching ideas for my Etsy shop, soaking in the the beautiful Caribbean
sun, and I participated in a destination wedding; my sister got married!
It was a beautiful, fun and inspiring wedding. I am so happy for my little sister
and wish her & my new brother in law much happiness.
The photos above are a snip of the two weeks, this is the resort we stayed in
for the wedding and it was gorgeous, we loved it so much we extended our stay there for three more days.
