As Dave doesn`t do the mundane, the hotel falls to me. There`s something a little strange about it - at least it might be due to lack of money, I suppose. Let me explain. There are several floors with the building proper having 3 - the floor at which you enter, plus one above and one below. Apart from the the building there are lower levels over which the pools meander - yes pool
s - there are 3 of them, each with a little waterfall and one with a bridge !!! There is a lift - but that has buttons for seven different levels. We tried it out one day and to get to our floor which is the top floor (but the rooms begin with number 5 which in England usually means you`re on the 5th floor) we pressed "5" and lo and behold that`s our floor. So what`s on 6 and 7 ??? Conclusions ?! Perhaps the money ran out or ....... - perhaps I should pass this over to Dave to finish the spooky version !!

The hotel itself is great and the staff whilst not speaking much English are friendly and try to help. My Spanish has come in quite useful. There`s a swim-up poolbar - very useful for those hot days when you want to stay in the pool but require a beverage ! The bathroom doesn`t have a bath, but a big walk in shower, which really pleases Dave (he doesn`t bang his elbows !!) but a small hand basin which doesn`t please me, because it isn`t convenient for washing clothes through !!
(By the way, touch typing on a foreign keyboard can be quite frustrating when it comes to the punctuation marks - they`re all over the place !!)
The room is certainly big enough with plenty of hanging space, TV, minibar, etc. The balcony would be really nice to sit on, apart from the fact that there`s a huge hot-tub on it which takes up a lot of the front space. Why on earth would you want hot-tub in a country where the temperature is never below 22 degrees C ?!!!!!! Unless of course the strange creatures on the two floors which seem to have Romulan cloaking device need hot-tubs to keep warm !?

Hi Linda - it sounds like an interesting hotel, be very careful about buttons 6 & 7 as I suspect they lead to the Dungeon Dimensions, stick to the swim up bar it seems safer. Is the hot tub meant to be a cooling plunge pool that has been out in the sun too long?
You have of course mastered the key board on the Brazilian PC but be honest is your confusion over the layout of the punctuation marks A) because the keyboard is different or B) your senses have been altered by the administration of numerous caipirihnas?
ps - re the washing have you thought of waiting till David is having a shower, once he has his eyes full of shampoo fling your clothes in with him, shut and bar the door and shout fire - the resulting flailing limbs of a panicked David should produce a fine emulation of the washing action of a top rate washing machine!
Feeling nervous having possibly upset Dave's flow. Linda was that one pool and waterfall with fridge ? Weird thinking again as Andy's suggestion re clothes was much along my idea. Begining to get the hang of this and the holiday, just gone 10.00 am think I'll have a beer too !!
You think you've got problems with the keyboard, I've type in three comments and they've all missappeared so someone must be shooting my Email pigeons, glad to see the holiday is going swimmingly,what with the swim upfridge and the plunge bar on the balcony how come you always have such fun. I need the name of your travel agent
