Susy, we too stayed in Trinidad North. While I really liked the location, I don't know if I would pay extra for it. My husband and I walked the path around the resort 2-3 times each night, so having to stay a little further away wouldn't bother us. The exercise does us good!! Of course it was just the two of us (our first trip without the kids!!), so it was easier for us to walk. Families that have to cart alot of kids, strollers etc. might want to pay the extra to be closer!! Although no matter where you are, there is some kind of walk.
