We spent the day at the Lazy River Pool, which runs almost the length of the property. It really has several areas. There is an upper level, which is pretty quiet, it has the same amenities as the Cascade Pool: a large bar, nice restrooms and towels nearby. The next area is the swim up bar, which is always lively (and where we spend most of the day). Gets a little congested with floaties. We were the envy of the pool since we had our own and our insulated cups with lids and straws.
The last section is for activites...volleyball, bingo, the "fun" pool games. A lady that runs Bingo is Luz. So Bingo has never had so much attitude. If you call Bingo, she gives you the choice of going Naky, Naky and show your stuff or get out of the pool and dance with her. But if you have Bingo, every one clappy, clappies. Bingo is difficult as she has trouble with the work eight. It comes out AAAAEEEEEET. She usually just says twenty-ocho. Lois won an Excellence polo shirt. She didn't even have to dance. And she didn't cheaty, cheaty.
We had lunch, because we never miss a meal. I think it was the buffet at the Toscana. They have a pasta bar at lunch and a carving station. There must have been a salad bar, because I vaguely remember it. The key point is that it is the only lunch restaurant that is air-conditioned, a small price to pay for changing out of your wet swimsuit. They also have good desserts, don't know how I forgot that...I tried (Lois says 7) I think it was only 5. Oh yeah, they had ice-cream. I don't remember if that was one of my five.
For dinner we went to the Grill. It is one of the three restaurants you don't have to wear long pants to. The Lobster House and Oregano, being the other two. We shared the fried provelone. Brian, Laurie and I all had salads, Lois had the Creamy Seafood Soup (she says it was delicious). I think we had the Artisian Salad which had apples and blue cheese. Brian had the bone-in strip steak with a baked potatoe, Lauri had the Sirloin with mashed potatoes, Lois and I had the skirt steak. I had creamed spinach, she had grilled veggies. We shared an order of farfalle carbonara, which was very good. The good thing about the restaurants is that if you can't decide, they just bring you one of each. Thank God, I dieted before I got here.
The entertainment for the evening was the Dominican Show. There was also a Dominican Dinner on the beach, but none of us felt like eating on the sand. The show was mainly a chronological dance show, starting with folk dances and ending with a very lively break dance. I am sure there were drinks involved.
Drink of the Day: Dominican Dream (Lemon juice, mango juice, pineapple juice, rum, peach liquor and grenadine).
