A smile is universal .
Roberto was always joking and our favorite waiter . 
He said his name was "Joe Canadian " but somehow I doubted that . 
Fresh juice and a smile every morning .
Mexican musicians serenading us at dinner .
A bartender who made a mean margarita .
Guadalupe had a smile that lit our mornings . She worked 12 hours a day 6 days a week . 
He was short and sweet and a very good waiter .I realize a lot has been said lately about Mexico and its lack of safety for Canadians . Where ever you may go in this world , you have to be careful . Crimes take place in our own backyards every day . Every traveler must take certain precautions and use common sense when visiting other countries . The laws are as diverse as its country . The staff at the Palladium were always courteous and always had a smile for us every day . Their work days are long and tedious for little pay but it is a known privilege to work in a fancy resort hotel . We left as many tips as we could and each day left a small gift and money for our chamber maids . These are the faces we remember .

Oops...so who is perfect .
Mexican people are very hospitable by nature. Last May when we stayed at the Riu in Riviera Maya I was sick for a 24H period and our cleaning dude was so nice. I slept in the room for the entire day. I told the kids and the hubby to go enjoy themselves he came back to the room every few hours to see if I needed anything and even brought me 7UP several times for my upset stomach, I never even had to ask for it. God Bless him!
