Open-Air Reception Area
by csc09112. Pants are required at the a la carte restaurants for dinner.
3. It's not a requirement to go to all 4 a la carte restaurants. Because of the temperature, we only ate at the two air-conditioned restaurants (French/Japanese) and wore shorts to dinner at the main buffet.
4. If one has a weak stomach, it is best to stick with the fresh grilled foods versus the food that has been under the heatlamp for an unknown amount of time.
5. If you're looking for someone that speaks English, look for the people wearing the red wristbands from Apple Vacations. I never did understand why they differentiate the hotel clientele.
6. Don't visit this resort using the Casino as the main reason. There are only about 20 slot machines, 1 poker table, and about 8 table games. The employees looked completely bored out of their mind even when the customers were trying to get them to smile/laugh.
7. Carry individual towelletes of OFF! misquito repellent. Works wonders at night.
8. It's not a requirement to tip, but it always adds a smile to their faces.
9. Food is not available 24 hours. After midnight, you can possibly find hotdogs, but not always. Best to purchase snacks to tie you over through the night.
10. Bring a battery operated portable fan if you get hot easily.
11. Most areas outside the resort accept US$. Doesn't hurt to convert to the local currency and save a little on the exchange rate.
Enjoy your trip.
Large pool that closes around 7pm.
Plenty of beach and space to lay out.
A little more isolated from the rest of the resorts.
