The kids went swimming in the pool after breakfast. I've notice since our arrival the lazy river was not really crowded. We will be returning our minivan this afternoon. We tried to rent a 4x4 so that we can go to the Natural Pool but nothing was available.  Based on our experienced wherein we had a hard time renting a vehicle while we were in Aruba, I told DH that we should book a 4x4 before we leave but he wants to play it by ear when we get there. Now we don't have a 4x4. Not even a car.
 
After lunch we went snorkeling /swimming in Malmok Beach. The beach is really beautiful. There were plenty of fish. The water was clear and calm. Even the little one had so much fun. We always love this place.
 
 At 4pm we returned our minivan to Payless Car Rental Kids love the pool.
Kids love the pool.
 . Their driver drove us to our hotel. She showed us on how to get to places we'd like to see.
 
Our concierge made a dinner reservation for us for 6pm at Madame Janette's. We took a cab to get there. At Madame Janette's the service was really good in the beginning. They're very attentive. They always refill your glass with water but after the desert was served they just passed you by and do not even look at your way even if you're trying to call them for the check. Someone else's is in charge in handing out the check and that person will not also look your way even if you call her to tell her that you're ready to pay. She collects the bill at her own time. People also smoke all over.  We ordered: Coco Shrimp - daughter did not like it because the batter was hard and did not like the sauce; Surf and Turf was good; Rack of Lamb - DH did not really like it because of the after taste (not really a lamb person); Argentine Tenderloin - DS said the sauce was really good but the meat itself was tasteless; Onion Loin - was ok; Salmon-first time grandma did not finished her dish. DH and I don't understand the hype of this place.  It was overrated.

When we came back to our room, DH checked his emails and one of the car rental company said they have a Durango. DH called them up and was told they can deliver it in the morning at 0800. Yeay! We can go to the Natural Pool after all.
