This was my first time at an all inclusive resort....

This was my first time at an all inclusive resort. I really enjoyed it and it's a good experience for what you pay. Don't go in expecting a 5 star hotel. The location is good and it's easy to catch the bus or a cab into town. If you don't want to leave the resort, there is no need to. They have lots to do, though while I was there all but one of the sail boats were broken. Drinks were good and seemed to be an endless variety. The restaurants were also good. While there I treated my girlfriend and I to a massage which I thought was reasonably priced at $109 / hr.

The beach area is nice. Occasional small fish, rays, and even a turtle will swim by. There will be people walking along looking to sell you snorkeling excursions, tshirts, souvenirs, cigars, etc. So just be aware of that. They aren't too pushy and generally leave you be if you don't look at them directly.

There are also two resort cats that wander around. They are friendly for the most part, though they will scratch you are annoying them earnestly. Also, if you decide to eat outside do not leave your food unattended for even a second; sea gulls will pick your plate clean. I know this from experience.
