I am having a good time and making the best of it, and like I stated previously, the staff is wonderful, the place is lovely, and the food is good, I only wish I had known before I made my purchase what the policy is is all. I think it's great to have a no smoking resort for nonsmokers, I just don't happen to be a nonsmoker,and would have felt a great deal more comfortable in one that does allow smoking is all. And I fully understand rules and policies, I just like to be aware of exactly what they are before I purchase a stay at a resort, NOT when I get here. I think that's only fair, and that is my only complaint about the place. Different strokes for different folks, that is why resorts are not all the same, and of course I will give a good review, but it will definitely be one that gives information about the place that their own website doesn't, so in the future when people do decide to stay here, at least they will have an advantage I didn't, and that is others who read my review will be able to make a more informed decision than I was able to. I went to their website and went over it thoroughly, and NOWHERE do they say this is a nonsmoking resort except for a few designated areas, and those areas do not include the balconies, neither do they have any comments similar to the warning in their "greeting" letter on the site either, and it is only right that they inform guests of their policies before booking and not upon arrival, and that was the only thing at this resort I had any kind of an issue with, but I am definitely not going to be letting it ruin my vacation.

Not sure if I will be able to make it to the Canoe webcast or not, but will definitely make it to next Saturday's at Seastar, but am thinking of just heading up to DeBar for a while this afternoon..I know a few places will pick you up for dinner free, and have called Canoe's number to see if they do that but they haven't answered the phone number listed on the website, and whether we go to Canoe or DeBar hinges on finding out that and also finding out if their is an atm/cambio near either CAnoe or DeBar..so would appreciate info on that..will check back later this afternoon before making definite plans, and am getting ready to hit the beach right now..hope it doesn't hit back, lol!
