Cruise tips
The port shows it's young age. The facial recognition worked very well and streamlined our experience getting on and off the ship. The biggest issue was the proximity to airports. We had a decent drive and I understood, from our driver, that traffic is often an issue.
We had very little time here and chose simply to walk around and shop. There weren't very many shops that were open - some even had signs to call to shop. Many of the few that were around seemed to have much of the same inventory.
Visited Mr Sanchos - again, we had a short stay due to Vista issues. We only had about 4 hours to visit. We had to cancel our scheduled couples massage on the beach after Sea Sense failed to uphold our 11am session. Mr Sanchos check-in process took a long time and the resort was a bit overcrowded.
We used resort for a day to visit Hilton Rose Hall. It took us approximately 45 minutes to get to the hotel with some heavy traffic. The resort was gorgeous and we'd certainly return. They have a large pool, great food and drinks. Don't forget the 2nd pool with a swim up bar, water slide and lazy river. The beach was decent but we preferred the pools.

Don't forget about Cucina del Capitano for free lunch!
