Carl, You mentioned taking your grandkids to the slide at the Sundial. Are Casa Ybel owners considered guests of the Sun Dial? Or would we be guilty of doing the same as people who come in off the street to enjoy our pool and amenities? I have grandkids and would gladly take them to the slide at Sun Dial if this is allowed?

How did the buffet and Danny Morgan entertainment go during the 4th of July weekend? Was it well attended that Casa Ybel might continue it during the busy summer months? Our week is coming up this Friday and it would be great to have a bar b que provided by the resort for its guests.

Not sure the slide is such a good ideato have again.
We liked it too but it had a habit of getting taken over late in the day by the 'big kids'who had one too many beers and that caused severe dissent with other poolsiders.
I can even remember the 15 metre diving board at the end of the pool....which apparently was used by the 1980 U.S.Olympic team for training in 1978.Apparently the Casa Ybel pool is Olympic regulation size and was perfect for the team.

Danny Morgan was also there on Mothers Day in our May weeks plus they had a BBQ with hotdoga and hamburgers which was provided and billed by the Thistle.
Danny is like the rest of us.......getting over the hill!
We used to go and see him at Chadwicks up at South Seas in the early eighties and we loved his "Sanibel Sunset" song but time is not kind to some music and this year seemed a bit dated and we did not stay long.

When the large shaded area near the G block was damaged by the hurricane, we were told by Hospitality that the city would not allow them to put a covering over it again as that constituted a building (!). To get round that, they were going to grow plants up the sides and on the top to provide a natural roof, which would be acceptable. This sounded great to us, and in the meantime, Hospitality was providing largge umbrellas to shade the sun.

From what has been said, this idea seems to have been forgotten and a rough old top been put on instead - which seems to have countered the original argument.
