Reunion Activities
General Information:
All hosted events will take place at Casa Mar Resort.
Coffee and continental breakfast will be available every morning at the Holly Haven Casa Mar Clubhouse.
There will be a Casa Mar unit on the beach (the hub) with a bathroom and other amenities available (Please comment on how clean the host of the unit keeps the bathroom).
Keep in mind the traffic, especially on the key, will be heavy because it is peak tourist season and the holidays.
