We attended the time share presentation which included breakfast and a tour of the newer resort to the north of us. It turned out that time share is not a totally accurate description, as it is actually a points system, so it has more flexibility. It is really more like a travel agency. You can apply your points to virtually any travel product, such as air fare and tours. It was sounding like it might be worth joining until they mentioned the price - $69,500 USD, half up front and half financed. Yikes! We are not about to invest that much without putting some thought into it, which of course they would not allow. Then things got predictably ugly and we left. But, we got our tours!

We returned to our place, grabbed some lunch, and then went for a walk on the beach. We returned to our room and read our books on the balcony for the afternoon. We went to their Mexican restaurant for the evening meal. The service and presentation were excellent. The food was very good, but the beef was definitely not Canadian grain-fed beef. Pretty good, but not as good as home.
