Creator's Key Takeaways

I had a great day in Ocean Key great two days in Ocean key made some new friends in the top sale Lounge this afternoon

the sushi last night was a bit of a Miss for me but I'm happy to report that the Habachi experience at tanaki tonight was fantastic

the rby with the BR sauce it sets it off guys you're going to love it

I've had a great time so far didn't know what to expect if I would make friends whatnot but I'm happy to report that there's been no shortage of good times and great conversations

Creator's Tips & Advice

Bring your own snorkel gear for better quality than rental options
Request special made sushi at Kaito Sushi if you want items not on the conveyor belt
Get the ribeye with bearnaise sauce at Butcher Cut for the best experience
Arrive early at the bar (around 4:11 PM) to avoid crowds
Wear water shoes or expect painful walking on pebbles after water slides at Lost Mayan Kingdom
