2009 Punta Cana - Paradisus Palma Real Resort - Day 5 - Go to Day 06 or Back to Punta Cana home

Today was so hot and so nice, unbelievable.  We canned our golf reservation and moved it to Saturday.  We hung out at the pool, the beach, the pool, the beach, etc.  Miguel again was fantastic, actually superman.  Everywhere we went on the resort, we bumped into him, he was working very hard.  As he always does, he catches me relaxing in the Bali Bed  and asks me what can I do for you.  So today I decided to give him a few items... cancel golf, rebook golf, book a catamaran for tomorrow (why walk over to the water sports hut on the beach), book some more a la carts, book horseback riding for Lisa for Sunday (included - N/C), and a few other things.  He said, no problem, is that all, anything else.  So I said that Wisconsin couple (Joe and Sue) over there have a couple of his and hers Paradisus hats, where can I score a couple.  He said I'll take care of it.

Later I spoke to Pedro who actually scored the hats for Joe and Sue (they are in the video), and asked him to snag me a couple, getting them tomorrow.  I forgot I asked Miguel. 

We took a long walk down one direction on the beach.  It goes forever.  White soft powdery sand, blue and turquoise seas, sun and trees.  I think I found heaven on earth!  Seriously.  Paul and Coco, David and Patty, Bruce and Judy, the place is amazing.  You can do the RS.  You can do the family RS with the kids.  Or you can do the regular service with the kids and I still think you would (and your kids would) have a great time and be amazed.  And Wayne and Linda, Jim and Angela, Ian and Anne, RS is for you.  Like nothing you've seen before.

After pool time, I hit the gym for my third 19k ride on the spinning bike.  Dan, Sylvain, Stewart, stop sweating, I'm up 3 pounds from the other day and I am being "good".

While out for dinner, I had the duck, it must have been three times the size of the one I had last night, we bump into Miguel.  And after dinner he's at the RS lounge working.  Then back at the room he calls and delivers a hat asking is this what I wanted, only having a "hers" with him, YUP, the "his" he'll deliver tomorrow.  He is superman.  He also said that the resort is currently about 75% full, there are many 4 day conferences that come and go.  However, he says this is unlike other resorts, esp the RS, where they keep the numbers down so that it is not crowded, so one can really relax and enjoy.  And one does pay a premium for this feature, but a worthwhile feature.

No pictures for you today, enjoy this movie...  Play Movie  Missing from the movie are images of the main pool but you can see it on previous pages...
