    wow, it looks pretty nice, I am looking for a place in the hotel zone for a Dental vacation stay, looking at all inclusive as I don't want to hunt for food, not sure what I will be able to eat. probably won't be drinking much either. Just going to chill on the beach or near it to recover. I have looked into this place. I own a Travel agency and their agency rates were actually the same or more than what I can get retail on my own as a regular customer :-( I will be filming the experience so what every hotel I can get will get free promos lol.
