This thread has veered way off course, let's get back to it. Show of hands, who all's staying at Gran Melia with the Fletchster and I?
If not for the fact that a family member had purchased a "vacation ownership" package at the Parnassuses (Parnassi?), might have been an option... I had heard that some people had purchased for a little more than 20 pesos for a standard can at Wal-mart. I had purchased closer to the hotel zone, and want to say that I paid closer to 35 pesos. Bottom line, you should be able to get it for less than USD $3 per can... Yikes! Yes, the other thing is the mixed drinks there...if I get a rum & coke, it will come with a 20cl bottle of coke (EUR 3-5) and the shot (EUR 3-5). In fact, in most places it seems like a 20cl bottle of coke / water is more expensive than a larger beer. Beer it is!
