You can probably get some incredible deals going there now but I think I’d feel guilty lying on this resort beach while people are suffering on the other end of the island.

Be sure to ask for a room AWAY FROM THE CONSTRUCTION SIDE (they are adding new buildings and they work from 6 AM to 8PM!!!). Also, be wary of the slippery marble floor walkways between buildings…I nearly slipped and fell but caught myself midway and in so doing, wrenched my back out for 2 days of hellish pain. That was after I’d already gotten sun poisoning (the sun at the equator is super intense—protect yourself! And did you know ibuprofen makes your skin more susceptible to burn? I know now!!!). The hotel is beautiful, some of the wait staff exceptional. But the food is just okay —though certainly plentiful and you’ll find something for everyone in the huge buffet—and I couldn’t tell any difference from one restaurant to the next (I think they all use the same kitchen and sauces, etc, so the different restaurants are for different ambiance only). You cannot do better for a more beautiful beach and pool. This is what I came for and I left happy despite the downside mentioned above.

Thank you for reminding me how! Now I just have to work on getting the comfortable chair (great idea); I have plenty of great books, and live in an area of great fresh fruits to make myself great blender drinks!

Maybe I’ll have to get two comfortable chairs so I can invite a friend over to enjoy our backyard vacation together!

So now I am probably going to just load them onto some photo share site when I have a spare moment. I’ll send you some photos via email to whet your appetite.
