Martin led us over to the rental hut where we had to sign a paper and leave a $20 key deposit, which we would get back at the end of the day……

Paperwork done, Martin will be showing us to our cabana. We noticed that there were plenty of loungers available…..

Here are the Poolside Cabanas…..

This is our cabana. The loungers and hammock are ours. Security did a good job of keeping people who didn’t have VIP access to this area out. We had no issues all day……

We were given the Maraca cabana. We did not get to choose, but to tell you the truth, any of the four would have been fine……

Glad to have you aboard with us! :cool:

 

 

Yes I did. I was not happy with the result :eek: Now your wait is over. I plan to post a lot of pages over the next few days, Enjoy! :D

I certainly didn’t enjoy the result! 😢

After the 3rd goal I decided it was time for bed anyway. Supposedly most of the team remains so maybe the bolts can make another run for the cup next year.

These are our stairs down to the pool area, which we shared with the cabana next to us. BEWARE! The non- slip stuff got so hot that you needed your flip flops or water shoes to walk down them……

Juana has returned, so I have my first beer of the day…..

At this point Patti is off to tour and photograph Amber Cove. I pour my beer into the provided plastic cup and head to the pool. Patti’s first stop is the nearby water slide…..

I was thinking about you guys. Getting shut out the last two games had to be pretty rough. They had a good run and should be in the mix again next year. Of course my Devils should be a bit better as well! :D

Great to read about your poolside cabana experience and see your pictures! We will be in one of them in just a few short weeks! Looks amazing!

We enjoyed our cabana very much. Still plenty of Amber Cove to show you. :cool:

 

Hey Jeff,We should get a few hundred of our friends together and buy that house, I,m sure we can work out a time table for using it. Ha Ha Gary

 

We can only dream..... :D

This is where you get suited up for your ride. As cabana holders we get unlimited rides, but Patti and I are way past wanting to do this anymore…..
