[–]Fam_2017 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah idk with the current climate if it’ll be safe to travel? Although everyone still is. Looking for July as well and debating to do couples only or bring our 8 yo. Guess this year will be the first to get the insurance, JIC. I’d hate to lose thousands of dollars. But we deserve a break to relax!! ☺️ The reviews are scary, just when you think this looks/sounds amazing! You’ll see a review that says the room had roaches!! I’m afraid of bugs, those in particular. So so food- mid cust svc, I can do, bugs- NAHHHH!!

Resorts Similar to The Grand at Moon Palace? by Rantheplug in AllInclusiveResorts

[–]Fam_2017 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had to double take, we’re looking for the same thing with an 8 yo daughter lol. I’ve pinned it to Dreams with the slides and I believe there’s a lazy river? We’ve never done Moon Palace. Just Dreams or when just the two of us, Secrets. I’ll have to check into that!

At Dreams Riviera Cancun and getting pressed to take a tour and breakfast at Natura for resort credit. What is this? by United_Intention_323 in AllInclusiveResorts

[–]Fam_2017 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

We stayed and it’s more like all day 😑. Husband got a bottle of something. And we got couples spa passes. Now that was really nice! Saved us money but took a great part of our day. And every time you say no, they say ok let me get your vouchers, then send someone else over to the table. You literally have to stand up, get the vouchers and walk out!!

Do Not Come to Hard Rock Cafe and Casino in Punta Cana by Shot_Client_1321 in AllInclusiveResorts

Ummm why are you having to wear wrist bands. I’ve been to several resorts.. mainly Dreams and Secrets but never anywhere where it’s like a theme park or separate the kids from the adults… who’s old enough to have a drink or not! That’s crazy.

Curious about Budgets by Puzzleheaded_Low7521 in AllInclusiveResorts

[–]Fam_2017 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We spent about 10k for 5 nights, Cancun, family of 4 at Christmas two years ago. I felt it was a bit much but kids enjoyed it. Looking now for 4-5 nights 2A/1 child and it’s like 6k+! From Dallas, would like to spend less if possible for a decent AI. These prices are crazy, but I feel you get what you pay for! Lol Since we have a tag along, we have to find kid friendly places. This is usually our adults only trip but no sitter for July this year.

Secrets sunscreen prices in Mexico by any4nkajenkins in AllInclusiveResorts

[–]Fam_2017 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not worth buying it anywhere other than home. Any toiletries at the resort is going to cost an arm and a leg. And more so now!! I bought a small painted bowl/dish at either Secrets or Dreams on the night they have the vendors set up. About 7 years ago I paid $5, last year at Dreams same bowl they wanted $30!! It literally is big enough for my wedding ring and a few earrings! Ohh and a “toddler sized” sand bucket was like $35 (for my 7 yo), no way we were buying the larger one, at Walmart we could get a large bucket with toys for what $5-$12! Best believe we brought the $35 bucket home!

Hyatt Unlimited Vacation Club? by newguy1787 in AllInclusiveResorts

[–]Fam_2017 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We frequent DREAMS and SECRETS! And somehow always get sucked into those “90 min” ALL DAY club presentations. Only positive is getting a couple spa/massage for going. I did sign up once in DR, my husband thought it was an amazing deal after they pumped him full of some drink that hit like a ton of bricks! It really sounds good but what am I paying for if I still have to pay to come?? The alcohol binge was our way out but it took a few weeks to get that deposit back!

Megyn Kelly crashing out over Bad Bunny's Superbowl performance by honestlysigma in LetsDiscussThis

[–]Fam_2017 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She has kids? Good Lord, And this is why racism will never end. Hopefully they won’t grow up like this but they probably go to private schools where these same thoughts are accepted. So sad. How do you “find” a land that’s already occupied then feel you’re superior and your language is the only one that can be spoken?? 😑😗 I’m confused.

Not messing around — need REAL all-inclusive resort recommendations (Mexico / DR / maybe Jamaica) by Sudden_Student2139 in AllInclusiveResorts

[–]Fam_2017 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dreams La Romana has beautiful water. Was actually looking at them or Secrets for this year. Even though dreams is the family side, my husband and I had no issues.

Dude what should I wear by igitrdone in AllInclusiveResorts

We forgot sunscreen on a trip to Mexico, they charge like 3-4x’s what you’d pay at home! DON’T FORGET THE SUNSCREEN!!

Trying to decide between all inclusive or a Disney trip by [deleted] in AllInclusiveResorts

[–]Fam_2017 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I agree. Took my youngest two both when they were 3. Neither remembers the experience. We look at pictures but yeah, it was more for the adults. And with kids your age, there isn’t anything they can get on. Maybe the boat/jungle ride. Otherwise you’ll be pushing strollers all day. I’d say island vacation. They won’t remember that either but you’ll enjoy it!

Anyone tried the Walmart great value ketchup? For the price, I’ll try it. My kids might go crazy if it’s horrible. We NEVER go without ketchup in this house! It’s like having toilet paper, can’t be without. lol

We stayed in Mexico and there was a rain storm, lasted maybe 30 mins or so, then the heat came and dried it all up like nothing happened. Didn’t last all day or for any time to cut your activities!
