So what's it like.. weather? crowds? do i still have to get up early to get a chair at the sexy pool? make reservations for dinner? Is it busy? THANKs! I leave in 3 days!!! can't wait!!
Weather is usually pretty good 70's to mid 80's but it can get chilly some days. The heated pool and booze helps that. I'd say the resort is around 75 % full for the last week nov first week dec, so I would assume it's close to that during the rest of the month. The Asian and Itialian require reservations but not the rest. Great party people are there year round, see you towards the end of your trip!
We were there the same week last year and it was very sunny and prob 80 to 85 and maybe mid 60s at night. It only rained a couple times for like 5 to 10 minutes when it did. When the sun went down was when the heated pool was noticeable the most around 5 ish. Not sure about the 24 hour pool but since that isn't heated I would imagine colder at night. The rooms were still really humid so clothes and things didn't dry really. But the nice thing is it wasn't unbearable humidity or heat as it can be in July so I guess it depends on if you like that or not. As far as crowded it was pretty full and when we tried to make reservations they did fill up and only had odd times remaining but we didn't make them right away. Bach chairs were annoying to get but we didn't get up real early to try either.
We went last November and the weather was nice. We had one day when is rained lighted for most of the morning, but was perfect for us to go find a fun sports bar to watch NFL! The rest of the week was great, perfect for laying out tanning; swimming. I do remember it getting breezy out on the beach in the afternoon. Night time cooled off, but I don't remember needing a sweater or jeans any time. Enjoy! We go in January... can't wait!
I totally agree about the night time - we've been in January twice, and while it does cool off my wife has never needed to change out of her dress. Mid 60s feels okay when you have the humidity making it feel like it's still 70+ degrees. So I wouldn't go packing bunch of sweaters or anything... perhaps one heavier layer just in case you get one cooler night. We leave tomorrow morning for our first November trip and I assume it will be no cooler than it was in January...
She was wearing little outfits and dresses and whatnot at patty o every night and wasn't cold or needing to change or anything. We packed one sweatshirt each and never even had to put them on.
