Recently returned from another great trip to Pearl. We won't write too much here, just a few observations and comments. Happy to answer questions if you have them.
Let's start with food! We both thought the food was improved over last year. Not only that, the entire team did much better with the food allergies one of us has. While in past years the hostess and server would always ask about allergies there always seemed to be a disconnect with what we told them and what the kitchen staff heard. This year was terrific and we thank the kitchen team sincerely.
Isn't Victor great? Sincere, friendly and always on top of things. Our beach bed was ready before we got to the beach every day.
Did we spend time at the jacuzzi? Of course! Always fun. Tried to create an ice cream sundae on the bar as has been done over the years. Either this is not allowed anymore or this bartender was not interested. The additional beds were great to see and they got plenty of action.
The sin room in the disco appeared to be used every night. One night we were in with 3 other couples all in our own area. That's pretty much capacity unless you are sharing Yes, it is too loud from the music. Yes it is too hot. Does that stop the fun? NO!
So surprised to write that Lauren and Richard were the disappointment of the trip. After looking forward to the Art of Touch class all year, they switched the class to a Ladies only class. This was announced the day of the class and while some people were excited, we were not. Feedback from the class was very positive but it was not for us. We think it is great that R&L are expanding their offerings but we think they should ADD classes not take away the classes we all love and want to repeat.
Beach volleyball is now 2 times per day! Some games we had 14 people playing, other games it was 2 on 2. Really love that the schedule includes 2 games per day now.
Seaweed on the beach was horrible. We were told Pearl already ordered a barrier like RM installed and it will be installed in the next few months. We hope that is true as a seaweed free beach would be amazing.
All in all, a fantastic trip. We wish we could visit more than once a year but feel lucky to have Pearl in our lives!!!
