The thing is Royal guests' bracelets are transparent with golden prints..and Gran Porto Real guests' bracelets are vivid yellow. Thus they are very visible, and the security guards would ask them to leave (even if they pass the bell boys)

Oh don't worry its not problem

The convenience of being down town. For us is was all about location, location, location

Like I said we have a lot of events that we have planned on 5th. We also have a pretty young group. We have a lot of late twenties early thirties and know people are going to want to go out at night.

Also we fell in love with Kool Beach Club where we are having our reception. It is just a short walk over from the Royal and we are going to have a mariachi band walk over with us.

It offered us peace of mind that our guests could walk around and not have to worry about cabs or transportation.

Thanks ladies!

 

I agree...I picked The Royal because of the location and it had a sister resort that catered to families. The only negative thing about it is that the beach is public. The pros overweighted that con.

I agree, the only con that I can think of as well is the beach. Not as private and scenic as the more secluded resorts. But at the more secluded resorts you are pretty much stuck there. We never drank/ate in town but we enjoyed walking into town everynight after dinner! It's a fun little town! And also during the day to get a break from the pool/beach we would go to all the little stores on 5th. You can't do that at any of the resorts that are along the main road/highway.

Does Kool Beach Club have a website? I've looked a few times and can't seem to find one. I want to email them for pricing to see how much a welcome dinner would cost.

 

Thanks ladies!

OMG I am the same way! With the contacts and the swimming lol.
