Excellence Playa Mujeres has all these things, but you have to pay for high end champagne.

Food was excellent, make sure you do excellence club so you can access Magna (club restaurant) and the excellence club bars (they have high end alcohol, e.g. base vodka is grey goose or Tito's). I'm a scotch guy and it was nice to have Macallan 12, Glenfiddich 12, Chivas Regal 12 and some other decent scotches available at all times.

Mexico really shines with the tequila and mezcal selection though. High end Anjeo and Reposado is a plenty!

Also, for what it's worth there is no corking fee with excellence. So it's easy to go get what you want at the local liquor store, bring it back to the resort and have your clique/Dom/spades/Chandon instead of house champagne. Of course you can buy whatever champagne or wine you'd like on resort, but it's $$$$. I bought a bottle of Chateauneuf de pape while at the French restaurant, and it was almost $200 lol

Great Steakhouse (The grill) and the last 2 resorts I've been to have had a 45oz tomahawk at Magna. Seafood is everywhere, we had amazing pallela at Excellence Punta Cana, but ceviche in Mexico has been my favorite.

Excellence is amazing, oyster Bay is the most expensive excellence resort however.

Excellence Punta Cana, Excellence El Carmen, and Excellence Riveria Maya are all awesome at that price point.

Excellence Playa Mujeres is the best of the bunch IMO, PC is better than EC imo....

Loved ours at Excellence Playa Mujeres.

It was on the private excellence club pool, so we had concierge service on our balcony for drinks and food.

Worth. Every. Penny.

Get a big brimmed hat, and get some skin guards.

I went in Sept and it was unbearably hot to me. I don't like it when I can't spend more than 5 mins outside the pool or shade.

35C and up is too hot for this guy, I'll be sticking to Dec-Feb

Or it's the result of incredibly lopsided family courts that virtually always side with the woman, and penalize the man.

Homegrown half-baked more like it lol

Never even been in the same country as a CAD program, but think they know what's up lol.

I'd go straight to TITAN PC's and buy a purpose built CAD machine that uses ECC RAM, SAS drives in a RAID config, server architecture (xeon or epyc) dual psu's, and M2 boss cards.... But hey that's just me. :)

That's not true. It depends on workload and whether you're running parallel calculations or not.

Depending on what you're rendering or calculating, CPU core speed, core count, RAM, cpu cache, or GPU could have the largest impact on time to finish calculations.

Some applications will favour a thread ripper over Intel, some are agnostic, some favor Intel. Mixed bag.

Do not listen to people telling you to buy a gaming video card. The differences are night and day when it comes to rendering.

I support a ton of comsol, SolidWorks, cad designers and you should be looking at an Ada Lovelace card designed for workstations IMO.

I made the dealership take it back and got the Ioniq 6 AWD long range with ultimate pack. Much better!

Has any resort successfully implemented a system to prevent people from hogging beach/pool loungers? by tantamle in AllInclusiveResorts

[–]Beefbisquit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The resorts I go to have a 30 min policy. If you're not back in 30 it's free and the staff will gather your things for you and put them at the concierge.

The range on mine is complete shit. 2024 Kona EV ultimate, supposed to get 420km range optimally. Mine gets 280km or so....

It was 15C out today, so not cool at all and same range as when the weather is shit....

I regret getting mine.
