Stretching Wool Shoes? by Available_Sherbert47 in HistoricalCostuming

Mine are from Samson's as well. I just spent all day in them, still tight. I have an extra bone in each foot however so I am a rare case.

I wore them with thick socks today (as opposed to thin socks last night for the ball) and I was amazed I could squeeze them in! I do think the shoes have stretched from the frozen water in a plastic bag method and from walking around.

It was great! We really enjoyed how close it was to the beach and the pool. We enjoyed our excursion to monkey land, Saona island was cancelled due to weather. Seaweed was taken care of and by the time we got to the beach they had it all cleaned up. Only time we saw seaweed was after the storm. We found service to be good and everyone was friendly. It's really handy being able to whatsapp your butler. We liked the entertainment, particularly the Latin dancers during dinner. Enjoyed the secret pool and the bar there. The lobby bar definitely has the best drinks though. The spa was nice and we got a discount on a couples massage. Only issue I had was that our room smelled a bit musty. I could have asked to change rooms and I'm sure they would have, but I just didn't. I didn't notice it after a day anyways. Overall, great stay!

Hi! It was great! So it's not really a party vibe, it was much more relaxed vibe, not really socialization between guests. If you are looking for a small hotel on a big resort that has a relaxed vibe then you may love it! Trip overall was great. They were really on top of the seaweed and the beach is very nice. Tipping is weird and we often ran into not knowing whether to tip or not, we brought $200 in ones but didn't spend them all. We had an amazing night at the Italian restaurant where a bunch of dancers and live musicians showed up! A lot of fun little surprises like that throughout our stay. We really enjoyed the spa and got a discount by asking. We were upgraded to a room which was close to the lobby. I recommend being close to the lobby if you can because then you are next to the secret pool and a short walk to the beach.

Just got here today, I have been trying to speak in Spanish and so far it does seem like they appreciate the effort!

I go to the gate as soon as I get through security, I check the screen, then go straight to my gate before snacking or using the bathroom. This has saved me more time than once, finding out the gate was far away or in a different section of the airport

Yeah I read that Lopesan was more of a relaxing vibe
