We're just past half way on our vacation and so far its surpassing our expectations. Our resort has two sides, a really large side with kids and big buffets, restaurants and a disco and big pool, very lively, lots of action. We are on the "Royal" side which is over 18, much quieter and there is a private pool, restaurant and beach section for the 100 or so rooms in this section. Its perfect - we have all the action without any of the noise. Not that there's alot of that around here either, the whole place is super quiet after 7pm.
Aside from the occasional loud smoking french Canadian who you wish you could tranquilize with a blow dart on the beach, its nice and quiet, clean and the food is generally pretty good. Its like eating at someone else's house or cottage for a week, you might not like everything they serve, but you also might stumble on something you didn't know you like.
Its been all about the beach and enjoying the peace and quiet. The staff are friendly, the people watching is great. There are lots of topless sunbathers on our beach, which isn't always a good thing depending on the age / size / elasticity of the skin of the person in question.
We did a catamaran tour with snorkling and a visit to a natural pool with carribean waters. We had too much Mama Juana, which is basically Dominican screech, and spent the next day moaning and in air conditioning. Mama didn't Juana much after that.
There are some little huts next to the beach with people selling things, I wandered over there the other day and they swoop in on you and try and sell you everything. A lady came over and braided a section of my hair in the carribean braids with little beads on the end and when I said I wasn't interested in getting the whole thing done the man said, Oh, Seniorita, you get them done and give your husband Carribean fantasy tonight - he will LOVE it.
Ah, more relaxing ahead.
