[Saint Greg]

I’m going to have to check this grill out. Waiters were taking orders and it was packed!

 

 

[Saint Greg]

That’s tropical I guess

Right after I ordered it I realized I didn’t have my backpack. I left it at the buffet. I went back and as soon as I walked in the waiter came over to the hostess and said something in Spanish that I think means “that’s the guy who left the backpack.” And she gave it to me. That was huge. All of my money except what’s in my wallet was in that.

 

 

Whoa.....that could’ve been bad.

I ordered a banana daiquiri. Clearly that’s not what I got. But it’s really good.

strawberry I guess 

 

 

[Saint Greg]

Grab and go water I like that.

 

 

[Saint Greg]

Either that wasn’t a strawberry daiquiri or this one put more juice in it. It’s darker. Different. Damn

 

 

[Saint Greg]

Another grill. This looks like a cafeteria style where you go down the line and they serve you. I can get down with that.

 

 

 

 

[Saint Greg]

I wonder if that was strawberry banana

[Saint Greg]

You can get your watercraft here

All your pictures sure bring back some party-time memories!

 

The buffet at the Palace was more upscale than the ones at the other resorts.  But I don't know about the one you're staying at, as it wasn't built yet.  Getting drinks at any of the pool bars was usually pretty quick and easy, even on the swim-up sides.  Back then there was self-serve beer on tap at all of those pool bars.  If there is still an Italian restaurant in the mall, that was pretty good.  Also the French one, between Caribe and the Palace was excellent, with great service.  Of course, things have probably changed a lot in the 3 or 4 years since I've been there.  Sports bar in the Mall was usually not very busy, and mostly showed soccer games and some wrestling stuff.  Not much U.S. based sports.  Have fun and I'll be following along to see what you think!

There’s my resort and it’s check in time 

 

 

[Saint Greg]

I like the name of this one

Now that’s a pool I could do some butterfly swimming in.

This is where the land cruise is. I wondered how could they get an entire resort during summer? Oh I see because it’s empty:
