Just got back this morning from GSRM. Book your a la cartes ASAP. There is a concierge in every second building, eg, we were in building 15....there was a concierge in 17, 13, you get the idea. We didn't even book at our own concierge as the lineup was too long so look for the shortest line.

LardyUK...in terms of dress... I wore shortsleeve dress shirts (I'm a guy) to every ala carte...you just have to wear pants (guys) to the lobster buffet which is located in the main buffet on Friday night.

Oh yeah....I was one of those that ate the shrimp the next morning for breakfast BrunDarling. I don't mind eating leftovers for breakfast...chicken wings, chicken, meat, etc. If you don't want to eat it then leave it! I think that recycling food is just one way to keep costs down and I've seen it at every resort. There;s always fresh food to get anways!

Hi Newfee! You mentioned that the men have to wear pants to the Lobster Gala. Don't they have to wear them to the A La Carte restaurants as well? Thanks for the info............

Hi Mo from MI, I'm actually from Fremont about an hour away from you. Would love to meet you. We are two couples in our 40's with a 15 year old boy and 17 year old girl. In addition there are about 8 moms from Fremont Schools bringing their high school senior daughters. Should be a fun group. Your teens are welcome to join the crowd all the teens are great kids.

We fly out on the 31st, I think about 4 in the afternoon. When do you fly out? Keep in touch!

We are going to the resort first part of March. Wondering if there's any better location to request a room at. Is there pool & ocean view section that you would request?

this may be a silly question, but....we arrive late in the evening on a Friday---too late for dinner and we leave the following week also on a Friday. Would hate to miss the lobster night. What time does the buffet open for dinner? Guess we are hoping that we eat before we leave for the airport!

Hey Shiftline

Love your site!

Do you have a map of the GS grounds and buildings you could share with us?

Hope you do - we're leaving on the 21st and can't wait!!
