The best part of the resort was definitely the location. The landscaping was absolutely gorgeous-- a real tropical paradise. Every day we looked around and were happy to be far away from work and school.
The ocean breeze from the beach was exactly what the doctor ordered to forget about our stressful busy lives. Every morning we ate right next to the beach and watched these crazy birds steal sugar packets and try to peck into them to get their fix. While the food was less than desirable, at least the view and the company was good.
On the second night we were there, we found the casino. I played the same 4 corners on the Roulette wheel all night (which I picked so they would touch baby girl's estimated due date of 8-1) and ended up winning over $100! Thinking I had figured out this game, we tried the same thing the next night with another $20 and lost miserably! And you guessed it... we tried again the following night with the same result. So much for our plan to fund baby's college tuition with professional gambling!
One final thing I will say about this trip is that we really enjoyed the enormous pool. Every day we found our favorite chairs near this great section of the pool, where it is so shallow that you can just sun bathe right in the water. There was also a bar in the pool, so you could just swim up, sit down, and order whatever you want! The one time we went there, I had a lovely glass of diet coke, while Chris enjoyed some stronger libations.
So, that's about it on the trip. Would we go again?? Probably not. The truth is, no matter how nice the climate and beach, we like our good food and wine. And this place just didn't do it for us.
Love, Jessica
