This place was pretty great. It was right on the ocean, all inclusive, kids under 5 stay free, free activities to do there as well as free water activities. Brett has enough time put in with Hilton from traveling that he is a diamond member, and got extra perks that way as well.
I was a bit nervous traveling that long and far with S, but was hopeful it would all be okay. We had lots of activities up our sleeves for her while traveling, and different fun snacks. All in all we felt pretty well prepared.
I jotted down this note in my phone when we were waiting for our first flight there from something S said. It went something like this...
Me: The people are going to call our name so we can get on the airplane.
S: But she doesn't know my name!!
She had a very valid point there.

This was our favorite server, Javahn. He really took to S and would look for us at each meal whether or not we were seated in his area. He was SO kind and friendly!
She insisted pushing the button each time, and by the end kind of got over her issue of elevators.
