From what i understand the resort makes your t-times for you. But i will double check with Ricardo the front desk manager on this. As far as i know you could play everyday, we saw guys heading out every day when we were down there back in March 14 - 21st. And these guys were die hards too... The wiv...

Not Sure
That is a good question, i have not heard them doing this. We used to stay for two weeks every February, we know a couple from Manitoba that would be there for 4 - 6 weeks all inclusive... they would do like us, use the resort for breakfast, lunch, snacks, cocktails, and then go into town for dinner...

the honeymoon suites are 1201, 1502, and 1703... 1401 is a nice room with the view you described Jason... The honeymoon suites can be tough to get even for some returning guests... Personally i would run with 1401, see if you can get that on locked up, and then see once you get there if one of the j...
