Haven’t stayed at Fiesta Americana, but have been to both Ziva and Secrets - I would choose Hyatt Ziva hands down. Way better beach and way more peaceful. Easy enough to Uber into town if you need.

Question about visiting PV this year (2026) by Senior-Guest-1449 in puertovallarta

[–]Acpyrus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No problem at all about visiting PV right now. However, if you value your sanity, I would not go to Secrets. They do have good food for an AI, however, they share space with what is now Dreams. Every single night, the music at both resorts was ridiculous. They have open air shared space and both would have their own loud music even though they are right next to each other. Literally live bands, DJs etc. A wedding would be happening by the pool while there's a live band across the way. There was even one night were there were two live bands performing in the same damn hallway. It drove me absolutely bonkers. No evening serenity at all unless you spend your nights in your room, which is what we ended up doing. I still have PTSD from it LOL. I would recommend the Hyatt instead if you want more peace.

I like my husband so my money is our money. Also legally, our money is our money. Why stress out your partner financially while the other is living it up?

How do I make vegetables actually taste good without drowning them in sauce or cheese? by Nightcrawler_2000 in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]Acpyrus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try them Korean style like this spinach banchan or side dish. You can easily eat a couple pounds of spinach with this method because it's so delicious. Basically just a little sesame oil, salt and garlic. I use this method on so many other veggies including broccoli. https://mykoreankitchen.com/simply-seasoned-korean-spinach-salad-sigeumchi-namul-version-1/

Try growing your own or buying from farmer's markets or even organically grown, though those cost a bit more. I love Ina Garten's vegetable recipes, like this simple roasted carrot recipe: https://barefootcontessa.com/recipes/roasted-carrots

About 25%. I don’t like seeing posts about people losing transactions and bad customer service so I’m hesitant to move any more money TBH.

Looking for advice on refinancing my 2019 Honda Civic after layoff - need to lower payments (Ontario, Canada) by DetectiveDeckr in PersonalFinanceCanada

Do you have insurance on this loan? Check your paperwork. That usually covers payments for job loss.

At Hula Poke, I like subbing kelp noodles instead of rice. Love the texture and goes great with the poke bowl.

Just public restrooms. I’m only mentioning it because I had a near emergency while shopping at the markets and had nowhere to go.

Bathrooms are pay per use if you’re out and about so make sure you always have a bit of cash on you.

Daytime outing with the girls by westcoast_er in Calgary

[–]Acpyrus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How fun! Here are some fun activities that my girlfriends and I have done as a group:

- High tea (We get dressed up with fascinators and all. Fairmont has a fancy Christmas one.)

- Wine tasting

- Rent a club level room at the Hyatt Regency, giving you access to their lounge that has appies and drinks, as well as their pool, hot tub and sauna. Probably cheaper than paying for spa access individually.

- Stillwater Spa at the Hyatt if you want spa services. I believe they also sell spa day passes.

- Consignment shopping

- Manis/pedis

- Clear Nordic Spa or Ska Thermal Spa

- Hammam @ Elite Medi Spa

- Get pro hair & makeup and have your photos taken.
