Basically I can tell you that we are already closing the east side garden of the World Café in order to start with the construction of the restaurant to be located right beside the buffet (or probably the expansion of it). There are MANY people working for the construction of the rooms because it should be opened by December.

here are some shots of the area by the World Cafe they are referring to:

More Info on the Romantic Dinners, just in from the resort:

The difference between both dinners is a bottle of wine and some things of the menu, please find as follows the delicious options for each dinner:



$120.00 UD Dinner:



Option 1

Shrimp and fish ceviche in coconut / puffed pastry stuffed with curried scallops/ passion fruit sorbet / lobster tail American sauce and beef fillet green pepper sauce with gratin potatoes/ banana flambee/ Caribbean cocktail/ bottle of national champagne/ bottle of Santa Rita Wine – white or read.

Option 2

Shrimp cocktail/ chicken salad in warm balsamic vinegar sauce/ clam chowder/ lobster tail, prawns, calamari, shrimp, scallops, fish fillet served with cream potatoes and steamed vegetables/ strawberry pie with chocolate sauce/ Caribbean cocktail/ bottle of national champagne/ bottle of Santa Rita Wine – white or read.



$90.00 US Dinner:



Option 1

Seafood ceviche served in a coconut / Shrimp Bisque / Lobster “a la crema” in puff pastry / snapper fillet in “Americana” sauce served with yellow rice and tomato provenzal/ strawberry hearts “al grand marnier”

Option 2

Greek salad with chicken, grapes, apples and nuts/ cream of asparagus/ mushrooms “a la crema” in puff pastry/ beef fillet with green peppercorns, potatoes provenzal and carrot mouse/ chocolate bonbons with strawberry sauce.



Concerning the restaurants, you actually have different options as I mentioned previously. The romantic or lobster dinners are other options that are not included in the package. I understand that you would like to have something special for your wife as you are celebrating your anniversary, therefore the dinner at the pier would be a great choice. Many honeymooners and anniversary couples have enjoyed it to celebrate and we’ve had nothing but great comments about it.



For our restaurants you need no previous reservations since we have no-reservations-policy. Concerning the dinner at the pier you could arrange it with me once you are here as well as other detail you would like to have for your wife such as flower for her to find in the room once you have the romantic dinner……that would be a nice touch.

Hope this helps all who are planning something special!

The area at the Taino Garden will be run by the Spa.

the charges in the Sea side Taino Spa. It is going to be a charge of US$20 to buy a pass to use the tub for the whole day, a US$50 for 3 days a US$100 for a week.

For those guests that have a massage or treatment at the Taino Spa (specifically) will be able to use the Jacuzzi with no extra cost.

There will be a Guest Service there to arrange the services.

That will be an area for adults only (we will have signs).

Someone asked about the pricing for the Seaside Jacuzzi, I thought I would add this info:

Yes you would have to pay $5 if you wanted only to use the Hot Tub in the Taino Garden Spa, it is NOT part of the All Inculsive plan, it is part of the Spa area.

There are Massage services there and the Seaside Jacuzzi.

There is a hot tub by the pool that is part of the All Inclusive Package and there for no extra charge for that.

The Spa and its services are wonderful and I highly recommend them.

But they are not part of the all inclusive.

The Spa Consists of the Main Spa and Relaxation Gardens, The Eco Spa over top the natural springs and now and newest the The Taino Gardens with the Seaside Jacuzzi.

I hope this explains a little as to why and how it is seperate from the All Inclusive Plan.

Have a SUNsational Time,baltobabe/mt

Overhead shows construction area, as you can see it only is affecting a small area of the resort.  

Walk way past building three toward the New World Cafe, the fence is up and the construction of the new building has started.  

Some of the Trees that have been moved from garden / construction area are being placed on the beach 

Construction behind the fence, they have moved the trees and transplanted them to the beach and other areas around the resort while the construction is taking place.  

Hello! Here you have some details about the horse-drawn carriage: The ride starts at the area next to the theater; it goes through the road that crosses in front of the ecological spa, passing by the tennis courts, after which they are taken in front of the lobby, going through the parking lot area and returning all the way back. The cost is $5.00 US p/person - daytime service The price for special services such as bridal ride or romantic ride during the night is $30.00 US. I hope this information help you. Best regards,
