I am seriously looking for input here - deciding between 7 or 14 days at the Ambar in December.
The auto-response will, of course, be 14 - more is better, right? But here's the situation. Because of work commitments, I have two weeks of vacation time left for this year and the buddy I do this trip with every year and I decided to move our trip from our usual Jan/Feb to December to take advantage of my remaining time (it also is noticeably cheaper). But here's the thing - we don't do anything on these trips but sit on the beach or by the pool, read, drink, eat and sleep. My buddy has health issues that prevent him from being active so it is always just a relaxing stay - no day trips or anything (last time I stole away for a few hours to attend the M & G at Steve's Bar - but that's about it for off-resort activities).
Just how boring will 14 days be? Also, how does the December weather/conditions compare to Jan/Feb? Pretty much the same, I assume.
In the past, I have always been ambivalent when it came time to leave - part of me wishing we could stay longer and part of me anxious to get home. Not at all sure how I would feel after 14 days there. (Also, even though my buddy is a lifelong friend, I am concerned that I may want to kill him after that long - kidding, of course, but to make a point.) How sick of the food am I going to be after that long? (We usually just hit the buffet because, other than Don Pablo, we weren't impressed with the a la cartes). We do qualify for black wristbands so I guess we have more food options.
Please weigh in with your thoughts - likely gonna book this trip - whether 7 or 14 - this coming weekend.
