can you clarify a little for me? do you mean yuo had friends stay at another hotel and they were not allowed to visit you at your hotel? if that is the case, that is something else i did not know about paradise village. i do know that we had to lie and tell the person at the gate that we were going \"
shopping\" in order to go on a tour of another hotel nearby. it was crazy!!! the security will actually block your car in and not let you pass by. very hostile towards other hotels stealing their business. as for going downtown, i was not impressed with downtown, except for our dinner at la palapa, and would not care if i was unable to go again.
