Catalina & VIlla Mexicana--time in room

A couple of folks in this thread have raised the question, "How much time do you spend in your room/" For us the answer is quite a lot actually. The day is spent at the beach, but at night after walking downtown for dinner we come back to our room and read/and or watch movies or TV shows for a couple of hours. It is very nice to have a sitting area, with a refirgerator for chilled beverages and snacks with a TV where we can relax. First thing in the AM before breakfast we brew some local coffee (Catalina has coffee makers-you just have to ask) and sit on our deck and catch up on email and news before heading up to the restaurant for breakfast. Although the VM has chairs close to the beach, they are quite crowded in comparison to the individual palapas at Catalina. The location of VM is great, but for us it is too basic.
