Hey everybody,
Just got back from a week at CFI. Before I booked, I spent night upon night reading the forum, trying to decide which place to stay at. I liked the idea of being in the city, I loved the idea of being on the beach and I loved the privacy a private villa offers. So I talked with the bulldog at length ( probably to where I was a pain in the ass ) but he assured me he would take all the time I needed as it was my vacation and I should have everything I wanted. So I booked three places, two nights at #1, three at #3 and my last two at the villa. I felt bad having them move me so much, but I am so happy I did it that way. I got my beach fix, which was very important to me and was impressed with everything that was available there, it is definitely first class, with amenities, food, accommodations, activities and atmosphere, it was over the top.
My next 2 nights were at the original, very small, very private, right in town, close to everything, very good food and everything was new and still walking distance to the beach. We were able to hit a couple of great restaurants in town, the casino was a couple blocks away, had a great time strolling down Duarte street. A very enjoyable stay there also.
My last stop, was probably the most fun, I had never been with 2 girls and thought the privacy of the villa would be the most appropriate place for that. Boy was I right, we spent most of the time undressed, got to play in the private pool naked ( they need to change the water now ) gave the cook a night off and BBQ'd,
( almost naked ) the bulldog picked out a girl for me and I let her pick the second girl and boy were they friends, very good friends !! I had a blast just watching but participating was still the best. All my nights went fast but those last 2 flew by. The villa was very spacious, amazing furniture and decorations, every amenity you would want, decent location, only a few blocks from the beach, totally private and I felt very safe there. It was 2 bedrooms and baths so I could have brought a buddy, although I did like the privacy.
I intended to write this as an aide to assist other newbies in selecting the best place to stay, but I honestly can't recommend a particular one as I liked them all and truthfully I will have a hard time deciding next time which one to pick. I guess it depends on what you are trying to accomplish, but surely there is one to accommodate whatever it is you are wanting to do. All I can say, was that the food everywhere was great, accommodations at all three were also much more than I expected and I can only comment on the 2 girls I had, but both were out of sight. So I guess my best recommendation would be to do exactly what I did and speak to the powers that be and get some help choosing the location right for you. Honestly though, no matter what you choose, I think you will be happy.
One note I should mention, all though I did enjoy the three locations ( my sampler package ) I have to say 2 or 3 nights really isn't enough at any place, you just get acclimated and it's time to leave. If I do another split, it will be just between two places. I was going to add some pics of the villa, but I don't know if the bulldog approves of that, so I will wait on that.
Well, like everyone says here:
See everyone on the veranda,
OR the beach,
OR the villa.
