Golden Parnassus (Adults only) ***** AI

We leave in a few weeks. A few questions for repeaters if you dont mind.

1. When we arrive can we book a snorkle excursion at the GP? Any recommendations? We do not want to do a jungle tour, just some decent snorkling with 2-3 stops.

2. I was bored and reading the GP posts. I read a few times that the Club Rooms do not have a balcony? We were assured by out TA when we booked that we did. We booked a Ocean View Club room.

3. It is NEGATIVE -40 in Iowa tonight, I want to leave now.

 

I believe all the club rooms DO have a balcony, after they redid all the 6th floor rooms.

You can book just about any trip there. We have never done any snorkling in Cancun, but a lot of diving in Playa and Cozumel. I'm sure there are places, and I've heard its pretty good down on the very south end by Club Med, etc....

We are a warm 5 right now!!!!

 

Its going to warm up to 25 by sunday here, going to feel like a heat wave.

I think I was reading posts from 2004 about the balconies, so that makes sense.

I was thinking of a snorkle tour south of cancun, we will just wait until we arrive to book I guess.

Any need to bring your own beach towel to GP?

 

No need to bring towels to GP; plenty there at the towel shack next to the pool.

 

They have gone to towel cards since you were last there Jay. Kinda sucks. Sometimes Betty brings an extra towel or two if we have room just for a pillow, or whatever.

 

Hate packing extra towels, especially now that I got some new scuba gear for Christmas (regulators, guages, etc.) and suitcase space for a 7-day trip is at a premium. I would much rather pack "toys" than towels....

 

Steve, we'd like that.

 

Steve, it seems the TT forums generate alot of interest in those attending that resort. Maybe promoting the GP forum would be wise. I sure would like to meet peeps before leaving on our trip or future trips.

I am really gratefull for the pointer and tips I recieve on this GP forum.

 

I noticed we can book the Capt Hook Tour at GP. Has anyone been on this tour, is it worth the 100 pp for the lobster dinner and entertainment?
