1) My wife and I enjoyed Jolly Pirates....we will be going with them in Januarary when we return to the island-is a GREAT time.
2) We had a very nice dinner at the La Trattoria resteraunt located at the California Lighthouse. Good food and eating outside with the beautiful sunset happening around you was a great setting.
3) Didn't rent or use cell phone...I agree as well with Uncle Dave..no contact with real world is nice for a week
4) Rent a Jeep...if you really need too....they are beat up but good to have. Especially if you venture out on your own...which I recommend.
5) Did not go on organized tour...wife and I rented jeep and journeyed the island ourselves....was interesting and fun-just wear a lot of sunscreen
6) I think it is Ling and sons..not sure but it was just down the road from the Ocean club a 1/2 mile or so
I know things have actually changed there since we were there in Sept. '07-new stores and such-we loved the Ocean Club...great little shops in the lobby and ice cream/snack stand outside the elevators. Make a friend with an iguana too...they run rampant there...
