They charge $32 for parking. Are the exorbitant rates for airlines and hotels because of Spring Break? Oops, sorry, I thought I was on Bella's thread. I know you meant this for somewhere else but you might want to read recent reviews of that hotel to see if it has improved. We have stayed there many times and the last two times have not been good. We are going to stay somewhere else from now on when we sail from Port Everglades. Lobby is updated and decent but rooms are old and dirty. Our last room had a bathroom door that looked like it had been kicked in. Time before we ended up being comped because of a dangerous, broken desk chair in the room that we didn't know about until one of sat in it. I know you likely aren't going to stay there because that rate is crazy high but just beware if you find a better rate. I would question them to see if rooms have been updated prior to booking. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The food there is AMAZING, but this Texan still enjoys Olive Garden from time to time. 😂 It’s like Tex-Mex. Not authentic but still OK in its own way. In my opinion. 😂😂😂 Did you see Stanley Tucci “searching for Italy “ on cnn on the first episode they went to the restaurant that first made pizza in Naples, we were at the same restaurant twenty years ago , definitely was of the best meals I ever had and very inexpensive. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with this @BonTexasNY. We stayed there a few years ago and it was a one & done for us, unless the rooms have been renovated. As mema said, the lobby is nice. They also have a very nice included full breakfast buffet as well as included cocktails & snacks in the evening, but still not worth staying in a run down room. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's great he was able to figure out the problem and fix it, even with his wrist still healing from surgery.

We went apple picking with the local kids & grands today, then went out for a big late lunch so tonight we’re just snacking. Tomorrow is fasting & prep day for my colonoscopy on Tuesday so the only thing I’ll be making is jello & chicken broth - yuck. ( I have leftover beef stew from last night for him). I’m already grouchy about the fasting & prep! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunshine3601 Posted September 18, 2022 #71524 Share Posted September 18, 2022 Send prayers for the people of Puerta Rico that are getting slammed by Hurricane Fiona. The entire island is without power. They are expecting up to 25 inches of rain. DR will get hit sometime tonight per news station I was just watching. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
