    I've been lurking for a few days. I'm trying to plan a solo vacation for the last week of April. Temptation appeals to me because of the outgoing social group. Since I'm traveling alone, I would prefer to make friends quickly and have people to party with.

    My main questions are:

    1) Do solo guests have to share a room with another solo guest?

    2) Do the restaurants accommodate dining at the bar...if I get stuck eating alone I don't want a whole table. I'd rather eat at the bar and chat with the staff.

    3) Is there any possibility of scuba diving...and is it worth it. I'm certified, but definitely a beginner.

    Those are my initial questions.

    Hi, check out the April Roll Call-there appears to be a large group of singles going! I'm even thinking of going and would be there as a single gal for the 6th. time.
    1. No, the hotel will not match you up with another single.
    2. I've never seen anyone dining at the bar-except in the evening, PattyO bar has a little snack buffet and then serves burgers late in the evening. I always just sit alone at a table(not that I like it). I'm not even sure that the restaurants have chairs at the bar-it's just the waiters getting their drink orders for the tables.
    3. There is a guy who does the introduction to scuba at the sports pool. He is very nice and is there every morning. You should ask him for his suggestions for diving. My now ex loved diving and really enjoyed the diving in Cancun.
    Maybe I'll see ya there in April!!!

    Thanks for the feedback...it's encouraging!

    I might book my ticket on Monday. This would be my first beach vacation.

    I wish I could go mid-April, but I have to wait to the 23rd! I'm going to miss you by one day! That's too bad. :(

    Jinx, we are a couple, but very social and always meeting people. We very seldom sit alone at dinner, we find it more fun to be with a group. I am sure you will meet lots of people at the pool during the day, and have people to dine with in the evenings. It is a super friendly place!
