We arrived today. I actually love the ocean to have waves, it is much prettier IMO. Also, i do not find it rough, swimming is much more interesting. I am a decent swimmer though, I have swam in higher waves and I understand that not everyone is comfortable.. The pools at Lagunamar are amazing. I was standing today on the bridge between the main pools, there was blue everywhere I turned. So pretty.
The kids are lucky, today the turtles were released in the ocean. It was too dark for pics (no flash allowed), they do not want the birds to have a feast. The kids loved it.
We are in building 14, there is a bit more walking than from other buildings but not too much, the resort is rather compact. Measured in a straight line, the distance from the main reception is about 600 ft and probably about double when you walk
