sorry i did not post yesterday but like miki said the internet was taken away, as a free perk for villa and platnium guests.... so i bought a 20 dollar internet card this am.....other than that this is a great place, our welcome was great, champagne toast, cool towel, and room was ready immediately upon arrival....villas our the way to go....we have don julio here , in fact they give you a choice of 4 top shelf tequilas when ordering a your drink.....all other top self liquors available as well.....service is very good, food ok...we had mexican last night, just ok....we had a liquid lunch yesterday, so i have not tried anything else....we did get room service this am ....very prompt, within 20 minutes they were knocking at the door....

they just filled our frig as we speak, good size bottles of rum ,tequila, and vodka...and 2 modelos....we could have moore but we do not drink much beer....

yes the beer is still in cans and warm , we had one yesterday....steve(my significant other) is from england so he did not find it too bad.....taps will be up and running by today we were told....somthing wrong with the tap lines they said , but they are fixed...we were told yesterday...

got to run , going to the gym....it is a very nice gym by the way, very nice equiptment...

i will talk with you later...Dee

Hi Dee!!

It sounds like you are having a great vacation so far!!

It's funny that they told the guest that it was a problem with the tap lines but in the email response another poster received they said it was a distributor issue.

I guess we will never truly know. LOL

Enjoy

Hildy

Hola Dee!!

Glad you made it safe and sound and that your initial experience has been a good one. Hope that continues. Nice to hear about the available tequilas too.

If you get a chance can you check and see how high the dumbbells go to. Thought I read before they only range up to 25lbs. Thanks.

Had some Don Julio last night by the way. :-)

Maybe you could find a 50 lb bottle of Don Julio...Kill two birds with one stone.

Ok and Dee did you book your spa visit yet? (I believe it comes with the Villas--I know we are getting one)

If so how far in advance did you have to wait to get in?

Have you visited yet? If so, how were the treatments?

We are looking forward to to the spa visit...

LOL. Now wouldn't that be something. 50lb bottle of Don. Not sure it would be such a good idea to mix tequila and lifting. :-)

My workout, while I’m there, will mainly consist of 12oz curls.

Ouch Dee. Hopefully you're feeling better today. Don can be sneaky if you're not careful.

Thanks for checking out the weight situation. Also let us know what Steve thought of the beach party. Have fun and stay hydrated!!
