Just when I thought Mexico couldn’t get any more perfect, we got a day pass for The Grand at Moon Palace and treated ourselves to a sweet Valentines’ Day!

The newly finished 5-diamond addition featured top-notch restaurants, a shopping-mall-like lobby area, a Children’s-Museum-meets-Fun-World-style Playroom, and an elaborate waterpark complete with a wave pool, lazy river, kiddo splash area, thrill seeker water slides (not yet open), and a human-size blow dryer!!

In search of the water park….

Over the boardwalk we go!

Hello, Mr. Iguana!

Bathrooms at The Grand – what!?

Entrance to FUN!

Minnie Mouse with Valentine treats

Whoa.

Miniature Golf

“Let’s explore upstairs!”

A mirror maze

“Help! We can’t get out.”

Genesee is lost too.

We found our way, but it was pretty tricky.

“Thank you for shopping at Jaeger-Mart.”

Water-filled trampoline

Balloon wars

Racing Dad

This thing is cool!

See that ball floating in the air?!

A tornado maker!

An interactive floor game

“Weeeeee!”

As you can see from the expression on my face, I’m not having fun at all.

Glad I didn’t do my hair today!

Catch me if you can!

Lazy rivers are relaxing.

A human blow dryer!?

Just me and my new Mustang (rental)

Zoom!

They have bikes here too?!

…In every color!

And scooters!

We’re back!

“Should I try the ropes course?”

Love this thing!

“Look! No hands.”

Los Tacos Restaurant

Dessert!

The waterpark at dark

Good night!

From the Grand Buffet for breakfast to the Grand Theatre for the Circus Show…

…I definitely fell in love this Valentine’s Day because everything about The Grand was, well, grand! Even the chandeliers were something to be admired, according to Genesee, our ceiling inspector.

It was luxury at its finest and the best of all-inclusive, so if this is what they mean by “Lover’s Paradise,” then just call me “Lover!”

It was indeed a happy Valentine’s Day! Thanks, Moon Palace!
