Adult Daughter and I did one day at Pinel (Yellow Beach) and one day at Dreams a couple of years ago. She was SXM newbie and loved both. Pinel for the beach and calm water and the ferry ride. Dreams for the food. I would guess Dreams ended up being the more expensive outing because the food was so amazing we kept ordering more. We also weren't really counting our pennies either, so I guess whatever you want.
Random question - some posters seem to be very angry about stuff on vacation. Why? It's vacation
