Thanks for a nice, well-written report. When we were there in Nov., the area between Pedro's and the Perch seemed about normal, and between the Perch and Papagayo was considerably narrower, which makes for a slightly different, more cramped "vibe". I think Crystal is actually Christelle, at least that's how it's spelled on Dine SXM. Either way, we know who you mean. Enjoyed reading your report.
