NEXT IS THE SMELL. IF YOU CAN GET OVER THE JET FUEL YOU WILL NOTICE A SCENT. TO SOME MIGHT BE FAMILLAR TO OTHERS NOT, HONEYSUCKEL. IT INTOXICATES THE ENTIRE ISLAND. SO BE PERPARED ALL OF YOU ALLERGIE SUFFEERERS. THE AIRPORT WILL HAVE THIS NICE LITTLE STEAL BAND PLAYING SOME MUSIC. IT'S QUITE QUAINT.
WHILE WE STAYED AT AN AMAZING RESORT, I RECOMEND THAT YOU DO GO OUT IN TOWN. WE STAYED AT THE OCCIDENTAL GRAND AND BOY WAS IT GRAND. THE BUFFET'S WERE GREAT. THERE ARE FIVE RESTURANTS THERE AND WE WERE ABLE TO EAT AT TWO OF THEM. I TRUELY RECOMEND THE ORIENTAL THE FOOD WAS INSANE. NOW, AT LA HACIENDA IT WAS AWEFULL AND IM NOT KIDDING. THEY SUPPLY YOU WITH A PLETHRA OF SHOWS AND ACTIVITIES. WE LEFT THE HOTEL ON A FEW OCCIASIONS.
FIRST WAS FOR CLUB MANGU THEY SAY IT'S THE BEST CLUB ON THE ISLAND. I DON'T KNOW FOR SURE, BUT DAME IT WAS HOPPIN. BAD ASS TECHNO ON THE TOP FLOOR, AND SOME NASTY LATIN ON THE BOTTOM. IT DOESN'T GET JUMPIN TILL 11 TO 12 PM GOES TILL THE WE HOURS IN THE MORNING.
NEXT THING ON THE LIST IS MANATEE PARK. WE WERE TOLD NOT TO GO THAT IT WAS FOR KIDS AND NOT TO GOOD! THEY WERE WRONG, WE HAD SO MUCH FUN. BETWEEN THE SNAKES, BIRDS, IGUANAS, DOLPHINS AND SO MUCH MORE WE MADE A DAY OF IT. GET THERE EARLY SO YOU CAN SWIM WITH THE DOLPHINS.
THEN YOU DEFINATELY NEED TO HIT A CASINO UP WHILE YOU ARE THERE. WE DID REALY WELL ON THE BLACK JACK.
I TRUELY RECOMEND THAT YOU GO OUT IN TOWN TO SHOP. DON'T DO IT AT YOUR RESORT, THEY'LL RIP YOUR HEAD OFF!!!! WE WENT TO BAVARO PLAZA WE DID SO MUCH SHOPING. THERE WILL BE A FEW THINGS THAT PEOPLE WILL OFFER DON'T BE SCARED. THE FIRST THING YOU WILL HERE ABOUT IS MA MA JUANA. IT SOUNDS LIKE SOMEONE IS OFFERING YOU MARAJUANA. BUT HAVE NO FEAR IT'S A DRINK MIXED OF 20 DIFFRENT ROOTS AND SUCH WITH HONEY, WINE AND RUM. ALSO DON'T PAY TO MUCH FOR THE CIGARS($40 FOR 25) MONTE CRISTO'S DON'T SETTLE. THE PAINTINGS ARE MUEY BONITA, THE LARGE ONE'S($40-$50). WHAT EVER THE PERSON IS ASKING FOR IT'S USALLY MARKED UP ABOUT 4-5 TIMES THE AMOUNT. THAT'S WHAT I DID. OH AND DON'T WORRY ABOUT HE PANTINGS JUST HAVE THEM TAKE THEM OFF OF THE FRAMES AND ROLL THEM UP. YOU CAN JUST CARRY THEM ON THE PLANE WITH YOU AND YOUR BAG.
