We arrived just before the Monday evening Caribbean beach BBQ party. Since the resort took our luggage to put into our room, wedding have our clothes yet so we could change. So we walked around and checked out the property and sat in the chairs by the beach while we waited for the party to get started. The beach BBQ began and we got some plates of food to sample. The pier was set up with tables which were prime real estate so we nabbed some seats there. We unfortunately were seated with a less than talkative couple so we quickly ate and moved on to some lounge chairs around a fire located further down on the pier. A little later the entertainment started on the patio and we met a nice couple on the tail end of their vacation. They gave us some recommendations on excursions and some parting words of wisdom. They said don't worry about making friends, just do what you want... just don't leave anyone sitting by themselves or make any awkward situations, b/c you'll end up seeing them over and over and over again. Karma will get us with this advice later, but first we'll talk about the entertainment. First there was Caribbean dancers, then there were fire dancers and finally they started in on the "couple games". Fortunately for us, we had awesome first row seats. Also fortunately for us each time they were picking people out of the crowd for the games one of us was up grabbing a drink so we got skipped over :)
Once that was done we headed to check out our room. Once there, our luggage awaited and we discovered the swim up lagoon out back. We suited up and went out back to take a dip. We spent the rest of the evening hanging out in the pool and chatting with our neighbors.
