Hi Sarah, The beach bbq is only on friday nights. It is actually at the pool, on the sand volleyball court. It is really nice and they have live music. It is a buffet and the whole resort is there, but you can ask them to reserve an area of tables for the group. I had a hard time paying $45 pp at an all inclusive resort! When my FI were at the Grand Palladium this March, we loved the bbq and the atmosphere. I have heard that you can do a bbq privately, but the prices start at $55 pp. Hope that helps Nikki
