Ok,

So now i am totally confused. I have already requested 5C which i understand i may not necessarily get. Now, i have read a report on this site which says that the adventura side is the best and if you have a beachfront cabana (we do) then you won't hear any construction noise. I am bring to littlies, 3yrs tomorrow and 5 yrs and now am not sure whether to be nearer the pool - they love the sea too. Maybe i should just stick with what i have asked for and stop panicking - i think it is the propect of being there for 2 whole weeks!!!

xxxx

Don't worry- your kids will have a blast no matter where you are!

33P is right next to the pool and has a huge deck- it is beautiful.

34P is right next to it, back a little but also next to the pool.

You don't always get what you ask for but they will move you if they can. They are very accomodating. Ask for Ivan ("eebaum" is how you pro-nounce his name) for your waiter- he is great with kids and will show them some magic! Have fun!

We didn't see 5C but I'm sure it is fine.

Yes, Ivan is great! He was getting married as I recall. He also told us he goes by "Speedy Gonzales"! Have fun!
