We checked in quickly, there weren't too many other arrivals at the same time thankfully. We were handed a nice welcome drink and wandered off to find our room 1171. It took a while, even though we had some kind of map, but it would have been nice to have been shown to the room, as it was no longer daylight, but we found it. As soon as we got through the doors we poured ourselves a drink from the drinks dispenser. Cuba Libre (rum with coke) of course, since it's the national drink. We checked out the room, it seemed like everything was in order, complete with all the usuals you'd expect in a hotel room. We studied the drinks dispenser more fully. A litre bottle each of Whiskey, Brandy, Gin and of course the Rum. The sign stated that it was refilled every two days, so a generous allowance of one litre each per day seemed more than adequate. Underneath was a fridge with Beers, a gallon of water, tonics, sodas, and cokes. Soon our bags arrived and we tipped the carrier 1 US Dollar.
We got dressed up for dinner at 8.30pm but before dinner we couldn't resist the bar, so we had a few drinks at "La Rumba". At first it seems odd not having to use money at the bars, but you soon get the hang of it. At dinner in the La Roca restaurant we are allocated one of the nicest tables in the corner of the spacious dining room with a window letting in a gentle evening breeze, as well as the sound of the wildlife outside. 
We thought we got this really romantic table after showing some friendliness to Frank who took our reservation. We realised how friendly everyone was. The waiter, Tavares also made sure we were happy with everything, and he had to tell us he's not working this weekend. The food was really nice, they had so many different courses and there's no way we could try them all. They had also carved out figures like animals from fruit. Realising we had dinner at 1.30am Swedish time made it all a bit fun, but we didn't feel tired, we were too excited.
After dinner we explored Caribbean Street, although the shops were closed. We found a pool hall, free of course, and decided to have a game. Sean wanted to write that he won. Hehe. Found the beach on the way back and filled our shoes with sand. Tried to find our way back to the room, which proved difficult due to our unfamiliarity with the area, the drinks and tiredness but at last we managed, and sank ourselves into the giant beds of the hotel room.
