^ MacMyDay , I am completely sold on visiting both resorts after reading your extremely helpful and, as always, very entertaining review. I really cannot wait for both resorts. On one hand you have Gathy design at CB and excellent Teppanyaki - definitely reason enough for me to go! - but on the other hand Velaa sounds like a blast (quite literally if one uses the “jetpacks”)!!

Many hotels and resorts can fall short in some areas, but completely delight me in others. So I can live with enjoying the positive aspects, and then moving on to another resort that gets the other things right.

I’m so glad you had such a fantastic trip. The two resorts are so contasting that they might be a perfect pairing for that exact reason. Appreciating the differences through comparison might heighten the enjoyment of both.

And I’ll remember to see the dolphins while at CB and probably pass on that $2,000 activity at Velaa!
