Take time to make contact with Andrew Gibson. The very intense looking guard who works the beach and carries a big stick (depending on what stage of whittling it down he's in.) He has a heart of gold and we've found most consistently friendly person on the beach. Your stuff becomes his stuff when your on his beach and you take off walking. Housekeeping gals are a happy bunch. Take care of them early and they may leave those extra nice simple touches when you return to your room. Expect little from the WiFi if you want to stay connected. Coco is a great base camp to walk the beach from. Fend off the vendors with a "no thank you" or buy something cheap the first day and you can point to that the rest of your trip a say you already have one. It did seem that the beach entrepreneurs up and down the beach have become aggressive in their pursuit of your cash this last trip. Beers here are $5, Firefly to your right up the beach was $2.50 if you want to stretch your legs. Bottles of liquor are priced ok at the gift shop, mixing that with Tony the Juice guys (short guy always in ball cap, big grin) $5 a fifth pineapple from his morning rounds (he's off the beach by 11:00) works real well. Bring a insulated mug. Enjoy
