Welcome to my room at San Juan Water & Beach Club. It’s so soft and soothing that I just want to relax on the bed and look out the wall of windows… but then wait until you see what’s on the other side of the curtains.
I see the ocean and the waves start calling my name, “Lesley…. Lesley… we’re waiting for you.” That’s it! I can’t resist. I guess I can relax at night or when I’m dead. After just coming from cold and snow in Charlotte, I can’t miss a chance to hit the waves and feel the warm sun on my skin.

When I left Charlotte, NC, this morning, it was snowing. As a fellow Canadian, I can attest to the cold… and I don’t like it 😉
What were the temperatures today? In what part of Ont. do you live?

It can feel like your bones are going to break, can’t it? I don’t miss that bone chilling cold. I lived in northern Manitoba for a few years and it was intense at times. Worth the pay check but insane 😉

Looks amazing. I was there for 10 days when I was 19 with two of my buddies. Wow did we have a great time. We stayed at the EL San Juan right at the end of that beach pictured here, I think. Anyway. Beautiful.

I voluntarily left that climate (yes, I’m a born-and-raised PR girl) to move to where I’m facing ridiculous temperatures that I never could have imagined. We were looking at where we could stay if we visit this year…thanks for posting this!
