starjm glad you are having good weather and a good time. We arrive at the moon on monday can't wait. let me know about the zipline one of the things we want to do. How about excursions are all still being offered.

Starjm ... thanks for checking in. I'm so happy to hear that you are having a great time! We leave tomorrow morning for the Moon, so it's probably too late to ask this question ... but I was wondering if you've been to Miyako and whether it's worth the shuttle bus ride for us? And I just read yesterday that only Palace members can make restaurant reservations?

Glad to hear you arrived safely and are having fun! Wondering if it is possible to walk from C.P. to B.P. via the beach? Wondering how far it might be. Also, which floor would you recommend staying on? Looking forward to more info. via this post/blog. Thanks and have a great time! 15-more days to go!

Glad you got there OK and are having a great time. Keep it up! About 3 days, 10 hours until we leave for ASP and SP.

Do you know what rooms in what levels have the best occean view?

Thanks

Hello starjm, hope you have a wonderful time.

Did you get a nice ocean front room? What floor are you on?

Please say hello to Daniel and Amy, down by the beach from me ( Alemania ;)

We are trying to go again in January, and than in June next year. Jan. we might go to the Sun Palace.

Have fun, I am looking for your updates :)

Ronja I have failed miserably at updating! So sorry - having too much fun and trying to keep up with a group of 8! The boys did the zipline yesterday and loved it. Then they rented ATV's there. One of the boys (23, not young) was appalled at the way they kept the horses with their heads tied so they couldn't move or get any water (he lives on a horse farm and knows the care they need - ah but this is Mexico). If anyone goes, make sure to complain about it as itis the only way to get things changed!

We are oceanfron on the 8th floor and have a great view. Most all floors have a great view except the 4th which is just above the steakhouse & the 3 hottubs (pools?). The view is a little obstructed - you can see the ocean but not the pool. The occupancy is low. Yesterday was busy but I think there were a lot of visitors from other Palaces. There are a lot of people taking the "90 minute tour" that were brought in from other hotels and are using the facilities for the day. I am sure nobody will have trouble booking oceanfront. The workers here think that the swine flu was just a trick by the media trying to get the US to stay home and spend money there. But you can't beat it here. It is wonderful and they bend over backward to accommodate your every whim. The tours they are running are: Isla Mujeres, Chichen Itza, Tulum/

Xpu-ha, Zipline & Wet & Wild. They are offering BOGO Swim With The Dolphins. As members, they also gave us $100 spa credit & $100 golf credit - which was a first.

To answer the question, you don't have to be a member to book Miyaki. They do it in El Mercado now, not the lobby. It is fun, but the teppanyaki tables are hot and it is not as good as the US, but we always do it for the show. Our best meals have been at Leonardos, but be prepared for a long drawn out process. The Mexican coffee there is a great show.

The ocean has been calmer the last few days so I got in it yesterday. So refreshing, but when you get back in the pool it feels like a hot tub in comparison!

I will update you all after I get back (tomorrow night :-(

Ronja we are also thinking of January & June!

Zaglobe, yes you could walk to the Beach Palace if you want (I would take the bus tho - not that energetic - my daughter has done it). The Beach Palace is so empty now! They were so happy we visited them! There is a small beach. The restaurants operate a little later than at the CP.

starjm, LOL, I know you are busy, and that is alright.

Actually we just got the okay from my Mother in Law for January. That is when our anniversary is, and it would be a first without the kids (18 years).

So we plan for Jan.16-23rd. I know the new prices for members are not out yet, so we will wait. Would love to meet you, you seem to be fun :)

Have you tried any green juice? Like the the green sauce also. Oh, did your husband try the blush wine? Vino Carrosa rosado? If yes, how does he like it?

Have fun!
