Does anyone know how far is 5th Avenue from the resort? And has anyone been to Walmart????

If you're going to do alot of cooking I'd visit the Walmart for groceries. If you're looking for just a few things for in-between meals I'd stick with the store at the resort unless you are already out and have time to work in a trip to the store before you head back to the resort. The $$ you would save at WM is greatly diminished by paying the taxi -it's not cheap ...not to mention your vacation time! The convience store has a great selection and even though we cooked in the villa a couple of nights and had breakfast/lunch/snacks/ and most of our beverages that we carried to the pool in a small soft pack cooler, we decided we'd purchase the bulk of our groceries from the resort next time and like I said, when we go to town we'll make sure to make our trip count and purchase the rest of what we want then. We never checked it out, but there's a Sam's Club there close, too. It's right on the main road.

5th Ave. is about a 10-15 minute drive. Most of our taxi drivers could easily do it in 10!! And I believe the cost was $10 each way without the tip.

My family & I own 14 weeks at the R. Caribbean & R.Mayan in the summer. I have been renting out my weeks & exchanging for the past 7 years. I was a little frightened about the strength of those waves since having small children. We kept going to paradise Island in Nuevo Vallarta where My husband & I could sip a drink & keep a eye on the kids without actually being next to them worrying about the undertone. Can anyone tell me if the R.Hacienda Beach is quiet or just as dangerous? I would like to go back before my lease is up in 2013/2017!! thanks!!! SANDRA

The RH beach is as calm as an ocean can get, I believe that has a lot to do with Cozumel just across the way. We have a 6 year old and she enjoyed the ocean, without having to worry about any strong currents!
