An engineering staff member here at Grande Vista said that they were just a little over 50% occupancy here. There are several buildings completely closed in the area we are staying in.
I was told they are 70% by one of the attendants at the pool today. I don’t see how that is possible. That seems very high. The Costa sol (if that’s what it’s called ) was the quietest I’ve seen all month.

From what I can tell over here in the Clubside Village section, only two of the six buildings in this section are open. I am going to walk around sometime tomorrow and count the vacant buildings. Maybe do a video about it.

How are people doing with the wearing mask thing? I heard some were passing out with the very hot temperatures and having to wear masks.

We are supposed to go in October. Looking forward to it, but we are also not wanting to wear masks with the heat that we had two years ago in October.

You must be at Grande Vista? I love it there, but I still prefer Cypress Harbour.

im with you, I prefer CH as well. But yes I’m here at GV. The mask thing isn’t too bad. You can get creative and wear cloth that is breathable.

One of the vloggers I follow mentioned some people passing out. Didn't personally witness any the 2 days we went. There are plenty of areas to take mask off and rest or get something to drink and sit down at a table to eat/drink. For me personally-it took about an hour each day of getting used to the mask and then kinda forgot about it. I see lots of people say "oh i could barely stand it for the 45 minutes it took to get through grocery store"--I found after that first hour or so I had adjusted. Hulk is the only ride where I felt the mask may be dangerous to wear as it really pushes on your face the whole time. I only did Hulk once because of that-I was lightheaded getting off so not wanting to push it. I usually do Hulk a few times as I LOVE the launch.

We are at GV in August as I wanted a 3 bedroom, but hoping to get back to Cypress Harbour at Thanksgiving-it is my favorite resort as well!
