เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 22 ม.ค. 2015
Hi! I’m Kenzie Alyse, and these are my video diaries. I am a pilot wife living in beautiful Idaho, a mom to a beautiful 2-year-old daughter, & blogger!
I created my blog Strong Like My Coffee (stronglikemycoffee.com) in 2012 as a way to chronicle life as a NCAA D1 student athlete as well as some of my medical journey on the venous malformation on my left cheek that required specialists in NYC. Since then, I've transitioned to writing about travel, life in Idaho, baby & toddler milestones, balancing life when my spouse is gone for work so much, coffee, books, running, and more! Capturing milestone moments on video is so important to me and I love to share them.

OCTOBER DIARIES | Week in the Life with Newborn & Toddler
Here are some fun fall highlights from this October with my 2.5 year old daughter & 3 month old son. My channel’s biggest fan is my daughter who loves watching videos of herself on repeat - so this was made at her request, and if anyone else finds it enjoyable then that is just a bonus!
We live in Idaho and October is simply the BEST time of year!

Winter Getaway to Colorado // January 2020 VLOG
We went in early May 2023 and the temp was roughly 30/31 every day.... was it the same for June as it looked quite cloudy on alot of your weeks stay? Thank you
Awww ❤
The shuttle ride is not miserable 🙄
Would you prefer this resort over Sandals Grenada?
@@packdog70 I truly loved both so much so it’s hard to say…. sandals Grenada was more romantic, so if I was going for an anniversary or honeymoon, I would pick sandals Grenada. But just a fun vacation? Probably secrets :)
Great Video!!!
Seem really nice, you prefer secret akumal or playa blanca
Do I just contact the hotel to get transportation from airport?
Yes Secrets can arrange the whole transfer from the airport to the resort for you, and they email you your confirmation information
This is awesome! We go this Saturday. So excited. Your video was way cool!😊
Thank you, enjoy your trip!
@@Stronglikemycoffee it was incredible by far. The best resort I’ve ever been to especially as far as service goes. It was next level even better than other secrets.
Was there daily music/entertainment by the pool during the day? Seems like a relaxing vaca but I’m thinking about going for my bday and wanna make sure i don’t get bored
Yes, there are three different pools. One is quiet and relaxing, but also next to a sports bar. Then between the main two pools, there was live music and organized games in the afternoons - they were pretty fun :) there are also activities each afternoon you can go to like a tequila tasting, cooking class, dance lessons, etc. I’d just show up a few minutes early to the activities because they do fill up
We enjoyed our time there. I do agree the drive from the airport to the resort was long. Had planned on a helicopter transfer but they were grounded when we go there but had a private driver that gave us a personalized tour and showed us the governor's house. We didn't really have any complaints. Food was good and easy for us to get in without having reservations to the hibachi place the second night. Antigua was a little better. Waiting for grenada in 2025.
Loved the video thanks!! Just a comment the soaking tubs are only for preferred rooms.
What was your room number?
*PromoSM*
What airbnb did you rent? Thank you!
Did you use your car much on the island?
Hi wondering what resorts you enjoyed better snorkeling off of the beach that is important to us!! Thanks!!
So far, the best snorkeling directly off the resort beach has been in the Caribbean - St Lucia and Grenada for us :)
How could you miss the incredible coral reef just off the beach? Every time I have been to Akumal I have seen turtles, rays, barracudas and schools of fish.
I’m just speaking to my experience - the snorkeling directly off the resort beach was uneventful for us. I’m sure there are many other great snorkeling spots, if you do leave the resort! :)
Hi! We loved secrets Maroma, and wanting to try Sandals St Lucia or Grenada. I saw you didn’t have the best experience with St Lucia. Can I ask why? And also how would you compare the service / experience of secrets compared to Grenada? Thanks!
Hi! I actually wrote a couple of blog posts on these topics! Comparing Secrets & Sandals (Pros and Cons of each) stronglikemycoffee.com/2022/12/06/secrets-resorts-vs-sandals-resorts-adults-all-inclusives/ Sandals Grenada Vs St Lucia - pros, cons and similarities: stronglikemycoffee.com/2023/07/11/sandals-grande-st-lucian-vs-sandals-grenada-pros-cons-similarities/
Great video! I saw you ordered room service. Can you also order alcoholic drinks to the room like cocktails etc?
Thank you! No I don't believe we were able to order any cocktails or wine to the room. However, we booked a Preferred Club level room which has it's own full-service bar with a snack buffet all day long and it is only steps away from the preferred club building. So if we wanted a drink in our room, my husband would just run down and grab one himself from the preferred lounge and I believe it was much quicker than room service would have been anyways :)
Your room does have beer stocked in the mini fridge daily, and as a preferred club level room we were also given our choice of one full-size bottle of liquor. We picked tequila. When in Mexico!
I have been here twice yesterday you can order drinks to your room. You can order a bottle of wine but it's extra. You can order multiple glasses no problem no charge.
I can’t seem to find your follow up video.
Hi! I actually ended up writing out the follow-up with the pro's, con's and comparison between Sandals St. Lucia and Sandals Grenada (which were drastically different for us.) You can find it here: stronglikemycoffee.com/2023/07/11/sandals-grande-st-lucian-vs-sandals-grenada-pros-cons-similarities/ Thanks! :)

Great video! I just booked a stay here for May. How long did you stay for?
Thank you! We only stayed 3 nights, 4 days because we have a baby girl at home and this was our first trip away from her. She had a blast with her grandparents and we would have LOVED to stayed longer! Next time!
St Lucia is incredible, sandals brand is horrible and exploitative to local population.
based on your blog post about the pros and cons, your reaction of "not wanting to visit another sandals again" seems a little excessive unless something happened that you didnt list. Just my opinion. Thank you for the video though, I cant wait to visit this resort
Where's the follow up though.
Best destination we’ve been in our lives, this really is a lovely place, should have just relaxed and enjoyed.
nice video and was jet skis for rent on the beach ?
Thank you! Yes the jet skis are not included with the Sandals activities but we’re available to rent extra every day
@@Stronglikemycoffee yes rent them and what was they charging I’m going here in September
Looking forward to the pros and cons video! My Fiance and I are spending our honeymoon at this resort in late October! Looking for fun, lots of drinks, and lots of golf! We are both late 20s so hoping that we might find some people in our age range as well although we will have an amazing time regardless!
It’s taking me longer to put together the pro/con video but in the meantime, I did type my list into a blog post! You can read it here: stronglikemycoffee.com/2023/07/11/sandals-grande-st-lucian-vs-sandals-grenada-pros-cons-similarities/
TFS Which building were u in ? We booked Caribbean walk out for June ‘24 and choices were Pigeon, Rodney or Monchy. Which one do u think is closest to the main pool? TIA.
We were in Monchy and it wasn’t too far from the pool - I would say Pigeon would be a tad closer. Rodney would be the farthest
Traveling in August and have been going back and forth about switching to another country. Waiting on the pros and cons but we just might switch.
I’m going to have my husband film it with me, and we plan on filming it Sunday to post by Tuesday!

We loved Grenada. Looking forward to the next vlog with the pros and cons. We really want to visit Le Toc but everyone says the Grande is better. It just doesn't appeal to me and I don't know why.
i agree why I’m going to La Toc in September
Yes, I feel the same way. I thought it was just me.

HIIIIIIIIIIII
Brings back memories. Barbados three times. Single. Married. Then with three kids. Aruba. Married with wife. Then back with three kids for second…
Love Caribbean vlogs.
Nice resort
How was the beach area? Might go here for our 20th.
Phenomenal! The beach on Sandals property is completely private, so you don't have anyone selling you anything and it's only Sandals guests. The local nearby beach Grand Anse was voted the most beautiful beach in the Caribbean :) We also had a nest of sea turtles hatch on the Sandals beach while we were there!
hope you do more swim hauls for summer!
Hello
Double up sister 30+
Loved the haul! How in the world do you look that amazing with just having a baby! Beautiful!
Well done Kenzie!! You should keep the little jumpsuit, it WAS flattering and adorable on you!! ❤
The rust colored swim suit is my favorite! 🌴
Really nice video.
Congrats to you guys on the birth of your baby girl and she is so precious and God bless you all and stay safe and healthy. Love ❤️ you guys so much ❤️ 💘
Great video! Was the boat tour of Grenada's harbour with Sandals?
Yes and it is free for all guests!

He was Air Guard for 6 years
Congratulations I have 11 weeks until I meet my baby girl!! I’m so excited
