Resortspeak

On the Mexican resort they speak an entirely different kind of Spanish…

For starters it’s mostly English.

Secondly, when you thank them for anything the response is always, it’s a pleasure.

And third, instead of saying hello or hola, the standard way to greet someone in passing is to smile, make eye contact and to give them a cheerfully drawn out holaaaaaaa!

So what’s it like to be greeted in such a friendly manner all week long?

It’s a pleasure.
