Thanks 2nutz, enjoyed your report and photos very much!

What are your comments, AI vs non AI? Seeing as you almost immediately booked 2 more non AI trips, I take it you were pleased with that route?

I see Coral at Catcha did spoil you a bit for CC. That's rotten you were given a superior room after booking a premium...I hope they compensated you? I was very fortunate to be given the beachfront rooms both times. I agree it's quiet around there in the evenings. First trip, we went off property every night but one (and traveled with my teenager, so just relaxed in our room when we got back). Last trip, our dinners were included (yes, great food). Befriended a couple staying there who liked to visit and have a couple of drinks after dinner. Enjoyed that. My November traveling companion was a bit of a stick in the mud and didn't like to leave the hotel, didn't like to have drinks, didn't enjoy the pub crawl....I still had a great time, but felt held back from doing what I'd like...when he did join me, he put a damper on things. Coco in April...a little worried I won't love it as much as CC, but it will be more lively I'm sure. (I may have mentioned previously, going with a different friend!) We will likely go out to dinner elsewhere most evenings though.
