While waiting for our reservation we wondered around the shops at the Cultured Pearl. Fun shops. Really liked Pineapple Princess and a shout out to Elise who provided great customer service, even stayed past closing time 11pm to help my friend decide on a hat and lotion. They have a fantastic collection of swim wear. The other shops were kinda boring tho. Décor is nice, doesn’t feel like you are in Rehoboth.

While looking for the bathroom at Starbucks, I wandered into The Shops at the Pearl(named for the Cultured Pearl Japanese restaurant on the second floor) and I felt like I was in a shop in Chiang Rai, Thailand. Ceiling fans made with leaves, lush greens, a small creek/stream, wooden support structures, and even a parrot — was I really in Rehoboth?! When I got to the bathroom, the décor was impeccable and I half expected a squat toilet. Good news Americans! The toilets are those you are used to and a bidet or a bucket of water with a scoop are nowhere to be found. As far as the actual shops, nothing too exciting there. In fact, the décor put me in the mood to bargain, but the shopkeepers looked at me like I was crazy. The following was a typical exchange: Me: How much is this? Shopkeep: $ 15 Me: No way. I’ll give you $ 5 S: Uhhhhh… I said it was $ 15! Me: And I said I’ll give you $ 5. S: *stares blankly* Me: Fine…$ 5.50 S: *Points at exit* No squatty potty and no bargaining? They got the Asian look down but certainly don’t have the feel. You may be able to find several cute gifts, particularly jewelry, but the prices are as marked. I also hear the Cultured Pearl has decent sushi and amazing décor but we didn’t get a chance to dine there.
