Yesterday was our last full day at the resort. We ordered room service and enjoyed it out on our balcony, watching the golfers start their rounds. We then headed to the rooftop pool. Once we arrived we could tell a rainstorm was rolling in as we saw some dark clouds in the distance. Not to worry since you're going in the pool anyway!! We survived the short rainstorm and eventually the sun came out. At 1 PM they had very fun music trivia. They'd play a song and you had to shout the password for that round and then the answer. For example, one round the password was guacamole. The winning team then decided on the number of points for the next song. They had some tricky ones including knowing the difference between "Ice Ice Baby" and "Under Pressure". After about fifteen rounds, we were the winners!! No real prize except knowing you can go home with that important victory under your belt.
Lunch was at the ceviche restaurant and it was just as good as the prior time. The chef had added some pulpos (octopus) which was so tasty. After lunch we sat by the main pool and I might have had a nap. We waited for what they labelled as the DJ Pool Party but it was only the DJ playing some songs. We then headed back to the rooftop pool to see Moises, William and Andrew.
By 5 PM another storm was rolling in with heavier rain and some thunder and lightning so they closed the pool. We hung around watching the storm from our covered seats.
It was the time to head back to the room for a mandatory rest period. At 7:30 we headed to Oishii which is the Asian themed restaurant. Some really good dishes including tempura green beans, korean-style wings, fried gyoza, spicy tuna roll, mixed teppanyaki and Torikatsu Chicken which was like an orange chicken.
After dinner we went to the lobby to see the silent disco party. Normally when we've seen these on cruise ships and other resorts, you have people singing and dancing to the lyrics of the track they are listening to with their headsets. Last night, it was mostly people sitting in their seats, having a coffee or cocktail and contemplating life. It was like a silent party funeral.
An interesting vibe. We decided to call it a night and headed back to the room.
Today we'll check out of the hotel at noon and get our transfer to CUN at 12:30. We have a 3:30 flight to IND, connecting in IAH. We should be in our apartment around midnight. It's been a nice five night stay at this new resort. Will definitely return. They have a lot of interesting activities. The staff has been so friendly and helpful. And really good drinks and food. I highly recommend upgrading to a Vantage Club room since that's the only way you can access the rooftop area and pool during the day. Vantage Club also has higher end spirits such as my favorite Don Julio Reposado. The resort is a great value considering all the amenities they offer.
