Thanks for the complements, I just want everyone to have the same if not better, experience that I was so blessed to have!!!!!!!!!!!
I am going to try to answer the questions the best I can..

First: Is it a real disadvantage to stay at the smaller hotels/resorts? That all depends, there are plus and minuses to staying at cheaper hotels. Number one are the pluses beginning with the room is cheaper!!!!!!!! Also, rules at the cheaper hotels are not going to be as strict as they would be with the more expensive one’s. Places like the boardwalk and the holiday inn sunspree have security every were and it sometimes limits what you can get away with. Were as the Scottish Inn will let you do what ever the hell you want as long as you pay!!! My recommendation is to stay at a hotel close to the super clubs and MTVu village. Places like the Sun bird and Summit are inexpensive, but still have you close to the action. One thing to consider is that if you are not registered at the larger hotels you can not party there unless someone can sneak you a bracelet. Don’t worry about day time pool parties at hotels, no one spends any time there during the day. Everyone is on the beach behind the super clubs and Holiday Inn Sunspree. Also, the best pool party during the day is at Club Lavela ( no cover).

Question 2: What is the cheapest way to book a hotel? I wrote in an earlier thread that you are going to have to do some research to find the best price. Most of the time you will find that the best price will be on the hotels web site, however if you look around you may be able to find a better price. I had to look at about 7 different sites last year before I was able to find the right price.

Question 3: Is it worth it to buy a party pass? Well since it is your first time down and don’t know the party spots then I would say yes, But remember, you have to follow a schedule and if you want to go somewhere else you have to pay. I always tell people that if you want to save money don’t buy the cards, but you are going to have to go to the clubs around 7 pm and get your hand stamped. My group usually goes to LaVela at 7 pay the $5 to get in, go to Spinnakers pay $5 and then run over you Hammer head freds pay $5 and then go back to the hotels and relax till about 10-11pm. We then find out what club has the best party that night and hang out there. If it gets dead we jump to the next one. You will only pay $15 for three clubs and if you stay at 7 then you usually get free beer till 9pm.

Question 4: What's the police presence like? Are the cops harsh? The cops are really bad at night, but during the day as long as your not fighting or drinking and driving you should be cool.

Question 5: Bar crawl, party boat, and some other events...which ones are the best ones to do? Well I think that the party boats are ok, but not something I would say, AWWW man you have to do this. It’s nice, but it is nothing like the bar crawl. I would recommend doing the Bar Crawl, you get to see a good amount of the clubs in one night, plus you get to meet people that you will wind up chilling with the rest of your trip!!!!!! It is a great experience and you should def do it. However, if you want to go get your tickets early and I mean early, because they go fast!!!!

I hope I helped answer all your questions. If anything else comes up let me know. Hope you enjoy Spring Break, It may not be Mexico, but you will never want to stop coming back!!!!!!!!! See ya there
