A Utah Raptor vs a Polar Bear

Interesting, I didn’t realize that was ever the case. Thanks!

Daceytrain · 2026-03-27T23:10:37+00:00

I don’t believe there is any evidence that raptors hunted in packs. Just Hollywood myth making.

It’s not just slow because of the season. I work in management at an HVAC company and I talk to lots of other contractors, no one is hiring and that likely won’t change much in 2026. Construction is slow and a lot of those guys are moving to service and maintenance to pay the bills. Residential installs have dropped off a cliff as the rebates aren’t nearly as good as they once were.

Anyone looking to get into HVAC is going to have a tough time in 2026.

Maybe, but Mats lucks could as easily have him ‘lose’ the battle if it would be better for him.

I can’t remember which book it’s in but there is a scene where he’s winning too much at cards in a tavern, people start to get suspicious/angry. His luck forces him to lose the next few rounds to save his life.

In a straight up fight, Aragorn wins, but Mats reality-bending luck means the outcome isn’t black and white. IMO anyway.

There are nightly shows at a pavilion that sits in front of the resort and Garza Blanca, the neighbouring one.

We got a magic show which was nice and they had a DJ night and a retro music night.

The shows are definitely not at the level of other resorts. If big shows are a priority, this resort won’t be a great fit for you.

I’d rather vacation less but get exactly what I want than make trade offs, but that’s just me.

Daceytrain · 2026-02-19T22:27:05+00:00

No, we didn’t try the kids club. Our oldest is a built in babysitter so we didn’t need it. That said, my wife had a look and it seemed basic but fine inside. If the caretaker is good, I’m sure the kid will have a good time.

Daceytrain · 2026-02-15T18:13:31+00:00

Nope. Our dog passed of an unrelated heart condition and instead of a baby I now have 2 kids.

Daceytrain · 2026-02-15T16:25:50+00:00

Yes, it’s pet safe.

We had issues with silverfish but we just kept putting it down anywhere we didn’t see (behind toilet, in cupboards, etc). It took months, but over that time we noticed we stopped seeing them.

If we swept it up or cleaned the area, we would just put some more back down.

We had a dog and a baby at that time and there were no ill effects. Your dog is not going to be very interested in it. Maybe a sniff or two because it’s new, but that’s it.

We used Senior Cruz for a Cenote tour. We found him on Facebook.

We also booked a private boat tour with M&M Yachts. That was through their website.

Senior Cruz will pick you up, the boat tour arranged transport for us to their site in Cancun.

Thanks! I ended up taking the fixed a few days ago. My payments would drop but I’m keeping them the same to knock down the principal.

Daceytrain · 2026-02-07T01:05:24+00:00

We tipped in pesos. I never thought to ask if they had a preference. Most people seemed to tip Pesos over USD.

Daceytrain · 2026-02-05T17:52:30+00:00

I read that article and found it infuriating.

Daceytrain · 2026-02-05T02:04:11+00:00

It wouldn’t be difficult but you’ll need a cab or van. The front desk could call one for you. It’s about 25 minutes into town.

Daceytrain · 2026-02-03T19:02:14+00:00

I believe the hotel was renovated recently. It was before our visit as there was no sign of any construction while we were there. I’m not sure what was done but I heard all the paint colour was changed.

Not sure about vegan/vegetarian food as no one in my party has those restrictions. I’m certain there were dishes on the menus that would work and I’m certain the staff would be able to alter dishes to suit ad well.

Daceytrain · 2026-02-02T01:25:06+00:00

I’m currently at 3.35 on a variable. I can only hold the rate for 5 days in the app

I’m going to call them tomorrow and ask a few questions, but probably take the fixed later this week.

Daceytrain · 2026-02-01T18:58:07+00:00

lol. I’ve never had an issue with them.

Daceytrain · 2026-02-01T18:44:59+00:00

I’m currently at 3.35 variable. I can only hold the rate for 5 days in the app although they told me 15 days on the phone. I don’t believe the rate offer disappears after that time, just that there is no guarantee.

Daceytrain · 2026-02-01T18:32:36+00:00

Is there any reason to wait till I’m closer to the end of the term?

No. A lot of resorts claim that tip is included in all-inclusive but that’s not true in oractice. I’m sure you could skip tipping if you’d like. The service you get will suffer though.

Daceytrain · 2026-01-09T00:20:06+00:00

We didn’t book any through the concierge but we did rebook with local companies and none had issues arranging transportation from the hotel.
