I sincerely doubt it, but no harm in trying!

Does the card give you unlimited access for the days you pay for?

Yes, you get unlimited 24 hour access for the amount of time you have purchased.

Thanks, Liz! You always have the answers! :-)

Also, we have tried to get it at the store and they've been out. So then we had to wait in line at the store. Then we decided to do the airport..no waiting.

We'll be at the HI March 17 - 30th. Should I expect loads of kids running around? Sounds like people have experienced long lines, crowded beach and pool. Hopefully we can find some quiet relaxing time!!!

I can only account for when we are there in Nov. It wasn't that crowded, but there were still a decent amount of people and kids. We had to wait in line in the morning for the palapa (HIGHLY recommended), and there were always kids in the pool and beach, but it was never overwhelming. Never took away from our trip in anyway.

Since we usually go to the beach mid-afternoon, I was hoping to either find an already used palapa, or a bit of shade under a palm tree .......?
I guess we could switch to morning beach time, but I hate to have to get up so early on vacation! Are there always lounge chairs available?

You might find a palm tree to hang out under. Don't forget - ppl that don't get palapas hang out under palm trees, too!

Never had a problem finding a lounge chair. There are usually stacks of them on the beach.

I wonder how many ppl can fit under one palm tree! :-)
