We spent the rest of the day on the beach in front of the hotel. The wall on the beach gets great shade at approximately 2pm. That was our beach time. Chairs around the pools are taken quickly in the morning. You have to get up pretty early in the AM to reserve chairs with a towel and a shoe to get loungers and palapas by the pool.
Some rude people reserve and never show up.
It was really annoying. We ate lunch at the pool. The pools are always loud with a DJ team who get the guests to participate in aerobics and raunchy games. We made reservations for Las Golondrinas for dinner. It was just as good as the buffet.
