    Booking transfers soon and wondering if people find it worth stopping at Walmart on the way in.

    What items are good to not bother packing and to just buy at Walmart?

    How is the booze selection/prices at Walmart? Is there a liquor store close to TTR with a better selection/prices? Duty free at the airport the way to go? Looking to bring some booze home to the States after our stay...not really to save a few bucks as much as to score some stuff that I can't find at home.

    Anything else to consider?

    Thanks!

    There is a great liquor store directly across the street from Wal-mart...It's called the La Europa. They have a huge selection of everything (flavored vodkas, tons of tequila, beer, etc.) Definitely worth stopping if you are particular about the type of liquor you drink - or to have a bottle or two in your room!:aktion031:

    We save our trip to Walmart for the morning after we arrive. We just want to get to the resort and don't want to be rushed while we're shopping...anything that we don't have with us we can wait until the next day to get.

    If the only thing you are planning on buying is liquor and/or smokes, just pick it up at the duty free in the airport and save yourself a trip to WalMart.

    How far is Walmart from the resort? Transportation to and from?

    Not far down the road - Bus #2 and it costs $1.00 Pick up the bus just to the right of TTR's front entrance.

    Thanks for all the info...

    Is there a "mega store" across from TTR? Would this have just about anything you might need but just at a higher price (I would imagine)?
