What a great resort...just returned with my wife and two children 6 and 9 years old. We had a great time, the food was great the beach perfect Go Travel Direct did a great job and if you want to do activities there is a ton to do on and off the resort. No bugs, water is good NOBODY got sick at all. My only improvement idea is I prefer Queen or King sized beds and they have Doubles.....did not stop me from sleeping though. Any questions let me know if I can help. Have fun.

Hi Frzeninottowa, Glad you had such a great time. We are heading there 7/17-24th. Our first time there. Are there boogie boards avail for the kids,? Is there a charge for using them? I have 2 teens that would enjoy them. Exactly which nonmotarized water sports are included in the All inclusive pkg? If you ask for a roll away bed once you reach there, do they seem pretty accommodating? Did you do any of the excursions? I myself wondered how the day long one is, the catamaran booze & snorkle cruise. Hear any reports on that?

Are the rest's real strict about their dress codes? Long pants for the men? No shorts at all?

Thanks in advance for your input.

I was just wondering if you tried making any phone calls. were you able to use a calling card or just a credit card? I am taking my first all girls getaway for 5 days leaving my 2 children and husband home so I'd like to call home everyday . we just recently returned from jamaica and there were no pay phones- the only calls you coud make were through the resort and were charged to your credit card. a 2 minute phone cll cost 20.00 US dollars. How was the food? you hear so many different things about the food - it is making me nervous.

I am also going to this resort and had a few questions, I was wondering about the restaurants. Do men need to wear slacks and closed shoes even if you go to the buffet? What was your best alacarte meal? I heard there is a hot buffet at midnight, where is that at? Do you now if anyone snorkels right at the resort? Thanks
