Just before sunset this Friday – my girlfriend and I were meandering along the beach when we walked past the water sports activity center (you know, the type that every hotel boasts but inevitably gets under-utilized).
We quickly learned that the Rosewood Mayakoba had a myriad of choices for fun-seeking ocean-lovers (unsurprisingly), and in fact, they actually offered free sailing trips on their little in-house catamaran. Even better, the captain himself will show us how to sail it!!!
“Would you like to try it right now?” He asks. “The waves are in perfect condition.”
It didn’t take much persuasion for us to find ourselves strapping on our life jackets and lathering on an extra layer of sunscreen, and before you know it… we set sail.
Suffice to say, it was a blast – all the better that we got to take a tour of the Mayakoba beach from the other side. It’s funny how you learn the lay of the land from a different perspective. (FYI – this also happens to be excellent way to scope out the nearby resorts, in case you want to mix things up a little).
It felt both rejuvenating and liberating – as we sailed along the Caribbean coast with ease, like we were always meant to be there.
Sometimes the best experiences in life are the unplanned ones.
