What non-alchol drinks do they have?
I like Diet Coke. Can you get milkshakes anywhere?
Virgin Pina Colada?

Thanks

Last year they had Diet Pepsi. Virgin Pina Coladas are also available at bars. there were also some other similar drinks. Didn't see any milk shakes last year but then again I wasn't looking for them. I was doing enough damage with the food, the Presidente and the caipirinhas.

It appears, from the room descriptions for the El Portillo, that there are no showers in the standard rooms at this resort. Only bathtubs. The only rooms mentioning showers are the suites. Can someone who has been there confirm the facts? Thanks!

The standard room have a tub/shower combo for the bathtub. Our friends had the standard room and liked it very much. And yes the suites have a separate shower and a whirlpool tub.
