This is my first visit to an all inclusive. I am really enjoying it. The staff are friendly and very attentive. The pilots and flight attendants that fly for Air Transat stay here too for their crew rest. When we arrived on the arrivals board at the airport were flights on Air Transat from Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Thunder Bay, and Montreal. International carriers from Dusseldorf and Paris. That was Friday night. A lot of Europeans come here as well as people from Russia.
One nice feature, as the hotel is so large there are shuttles that continually circle the facility to give you a ride. We are not taking them and my fitness tracker must be in overdrive with my steps!
According to Accu Weather on my phone our weather has been a low at midnight of 25C and a high in the day of 28C. It seems to rain every morning for a short period of time. Yesterday we got caught in a tropical downpour. We took cover under a beach umbrella and ten minutes later the sun came out and dried everything up. The wind is always blowing which makes it very pleasant.
Today at lunch Evelyn, from the activities staff joined us. We'd seen her doing a water aerobics class in the pool. She was having lunch and then off to a Zumba class. There are so many activities if you want to participate.
