I have the 24/7 all-inclusive with the mini bar in the room that they refill at no cost and butler service. I am looking forward to it. Shoot, I never heard of butler service before. That's a blessing.

Anyway, let me know about your experience instead of making all of these cryptic posts that aren't answering my original question - which is, what activities do you recommend or not recommend based on your experience or even based on hearsay.

Sorry, was not my wish nor intent to be cryptic. The resort that I stayed at has changed names and I do not recall what it is now. In 2001, was only a few year old and was an adult only. Was on the South-East shore line.

And neither my girl-friend nor I had any wish to leave the property. Something we both would, and have, normally done.
Armed guards at gates et al.....however the people that we did meet were very nice.
And given that it was right after 9.11 and the plane crash, it was very interest to talk to people about both.

And between asking for advise here and reading on the other sites, IMHO you would be better off reading the other sites you have either found on your own or have been provided here. For they would have a far bigger pool of information than here.
