Had the night of a lifetime at the 4th of July Fullmoon party this past weekend! We did the Mayan dinner experience first, which grants you access to the party after and it was so beautiful. The food was AMAZING and I loved being able to learn about all the dishes and drinks. Will be dreaming about the hibiscus mezcal!! Poolside was playing a DJ set and we were lucky enough to be able to get a table, which I highly recommend. It was beyond stunning views of the ocean and DJ. Literally one of the best nights of my life. I HIGHLY recommend reaching out to the promoter Sara there - she's literally the best!!
