Best things to do: Whatever your pleasure. If you want to get wild, join the younger generation at the stripes club. If you want to be alone, find a place to sit and read. People watching is one of my favorites from almost anywhere on the ship. Gambling for the guests who take chances, and lots of shopping. Dressing up on formal night is always a treat and gives me the opportunity to get special pictures with any friends and/or family. Plus the dining room food is wonderful that evening.

Most Memorable Event: Watching the Harry Man contest at pool side. The winner of the contest was a mentally disable young man and he was made to feel real special and had a lot of fun participating. In addition to winning the contest (almost unanimous applause), quests took individual photos of the winner after the contest. Truly a good dose of humanity that I haven’t seen in a long time.

Quick Tips:

If the street vendors get annoying, duck into one of the shops (not the village). The shop attendants will run the vendor off if he/she has not stopped dead in their tracks once you enter the store.

Best Way To Get Around:

Walk to the town if you do not get bothered by the street vendors chasing you down, otherwise take a shuttle.

Best Things Nearby:
Convenient store with all your fishing needs within walking distance. Several small towns with restaurants near by.

Best Things About the Resort:
It was absolutely beautiful. The lake was extremely large which allowed for a multitude of water activities. Additionally, you could rent just about any type of water sports gear locally.

Resort Experience:
The resort room was very large and more then accomodated our group of a measely 5 people. This was only a stop off on our return trip from cruising Mexico and I definitely plan on returning to stay a week with family & friends.
