It has two pools &#8212; one on the roof and our swim-up on the ground level. We have our own restaurant in the building. We have our own bars &#8212; the one inside <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hotelxcaret.com\/en\/gastronomy\/\"  target=\"out\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Fuego Restaurant<\/a>, at the rooftop pool, and the &#8220;secret&#8221; bar in the walking path.<\/p>\n<p>All of the amenities in our building are private and for Casa Fuego guests only. It&#8217;s easy to sneak in because, even though you have to scan your bracelet to open the glass gates, you could always go around them and sometimes they&#8217;re left open. However, the resort is so vast and there&#8217;s something for everyone. Other guests staying at other buildings have access to so much, I doubt they even know or care what we have in Fuego. Brian and I had access to everything, plus all of the exclusive stuff in our building. Anyway, it&#8217;s very nice if you like to have peace and quiet and privacy.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/49128931971\/in\/datetaken\/\"  title=\"Untitled\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/49128931971_0692edafbb.jpg\" alt=\"Untitled\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Here are a couple of pictures of us having breakfast at <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hotelxcaret.com\/en\/gastronomy\/\"  target=\"out\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Fuego Restaurant<\/a>, which was conveniently just a couple of doors down from our room.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/49128931966\/in\/datetaken\/\"  title=\"Untitled\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/49128931966_e70896c2fb.jpg\" alt=\"Untitled\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>They serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner so it&#8217;s perfect for when we are in a rush or when we don&#8217;t want to deal with all the other guests or if we get back to the hotel late and don&#8217;t really want to venture out.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/49067543231\/in\/datetaken\/\"  title=\"Untitled\"><img src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/49067543231_a1f2b1cd77_c.jpg\" alt=\"Untitled\" width=\"500\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a picture of Brian looking over the menu.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/49067025548\/in\/datetaken\/\"  title=\"Untitled\"><img src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/49067025548_50f0eab19d_c.jpg\" alt=\"Untitled\" width=\"500\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a picture of the fancy menu.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/video.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fflipandching%2Fvideos%2F475061720031063%2F&amp;width=500&amp;show_text=false&amp;appId=162933833794177&amp;height=281\" style=\"border:none;overflow:hidden\" scrolling=\"no\" allowtransparency=\"true\" allow=\"encrypted-media\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" frameborder=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hotelxcaret.com\/en\/gastronomy\/\"  target=\"out\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Fuego Restaurant<\/a> was the perfect place to do our short live update on location.
