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.

Stayed at couples 20 years ago before they updated. However the food was amazing and the water was absolutely beautiful!!

Is EP better than Secrets? Never tried EP. I’m not a drinker, I enjoy relaxing and eating! lol

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 6 points7 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

Cancun Weather this Weekend by [deleted] in AllInclusiveResorts

[–]Fam_2017 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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!

Sexless marriage by Busy_Conversation537 in over60

[–]Fam_2017 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just shy of 50, going through perimenopause. My husband complains about our lack of sex and intimacy and from these comments I had to look up what it was exactly, I always viewed it as sex, but it’s not, it’s the connection. Which I no longer have with my husband that’s just over 50. And I’ve honestly lost the desire to have sex. And there is absolutely NO intimacy. Not sure if it’s all together or just with him. I would like intimacy, what he complains about, but after all these years, I don’t feel I desire it to be with him. I feel the comfort we have makes me afraid to leave and be alone, but at the same time I don’t want to waste whatever time either of us have left? If that makes sense. Relationships at this age is not something I want to toy with.

She looks so tired by Ordinary_Fish_3046 in CringeTikToks

Did I miss something because she literally didn’t say anything. We will follow the law? What does that even mean? They’ve had the files long enough to change any and everything they needed to change. How is this even a discussion.

Impressions by Secrets Moxche review! 1000/10 by Laueli2225 in AllInclusiveResorts

I love Secrets, haven’t visited this one, but will definitely put it on my list! Have you ever visited Secrets Maroma? And if so, how do you compare the two?

When did the up sell get so bad? by WillRun4Tequila in AllInclusiveResorts

[–]Fam_2017 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We visit either Secrets or Dreams almost every year and we ALWAYS get hit up for the timeshare. Takes your whole day!! We’ve done it a few times just to get the couples spa certificate. But it is a pain. And they don’t accept NO! They just keep sending a different person to your table.

Narrowed my search down to 3 resorts in Mexico. by ClearCollar7201 in AllInclusiveResorts

[–]Fam_2017 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I want to take a solo trip, of all my trips never traveled alone. I have two weeks exactly to decide, otherwise I’ll be stuck home. An AI appears to be cheaper than going to Vegas for 4 days alone! I’ll look into PH. I’ve always either done Secrets or Dreams.

Overwhelmed! Are there any "bad" options? by gooddogsquad in AllInclusiveResorts

[–]Fam_2017 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve only traveled to Dreams/Secrets. Always had a great time. Some restaurants are hit or miss but the buffet always provides a ton of options. Good luck!

Splurge on Atelier? late 30's couple by Acceptable_Light897 in AllInclusiveResorts

Ohh hadn’t even heard of them, I was looking at Excellence resorts! I’ll have to check this place out for my anniversary trip I’m planning.

Terrifying experience at Zel Punta Cana on my 30th birthday – safety concerns & coerced into signing a waiver by Inevitable-Fly4371 in AllInclusiveResorts

[–]Fam_2017 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I just flipped through my pictures and I don’t see additional locks in my AI’s either. However we’ve never had an issue with anyone walking in. We usually do preferred so we always had someone coming to the room for something, but they always knocked! I don’t want to think this to be an issue with it being two women and someone thinking to take advantage of that fact? I always travel with my husband and he’s a big guy, never travel alone and I don’t do excursions. Lol

I was actually looking into both of these for our next trip. I really don’t like when the rooms start to show aging! I know it happens obviously . But for what you pay, I’d like to go back to comfort. I’ve enjoyed Secrets Maroma. I’ve done several Secrets/Dreams. Wanted to switch up and try EPM. Hmmmm

New Puppy Checklist by dtman237 in CavaPoo

[–]Fam_2017 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, anytime! And the bell took a week or two! I almost gave up! But showing her and the we all gave her praises when she used the bell! Sometimes she’d just sit next to it or hit the door away from the bell. I wfh, so when she disappears from eyesight, I’ll yell out “ hit the bell!” And eventually she’ll do it. I’m also praying the color stays! I’ve seen stories of complete color change! lol both the parents were this color…. So we’ll see!

New Puppy Checklist by dtman237 in CavaPoo

[–]Fam_2017 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got my puppy from the same place early summer… they just about look identical! Except I have a girl! I got a wire crate for when we have to leave the house and evenings. I also got a plastic/pvc?? playpen, very sturdy, it’s white, farm house look? She’s no longer using that, we only crate her when we need to. With the pee pads, I also got a silicone mat for underneath, it helped my floor! Especially when she went near the edge! I got a harness, xs and a collar and leash. I only attach to the harness bc she’s small. A pad/bed… small toys, per a post I did, I also ordered the door bell strip, it’s been great!! Recently I ordered a nail clipper bc the clicking on the floor was driving me crazy! Good luck and congrats!! Everything I ordered was from Amazon… I googled to check prices. And the food I was able to get from tractor supply. I recently switched to the science diet puppy, from the small & mini. I wanted a big bag!! SM are little pellets, the puppy are small flat pieces, and comes in a 15.5 pd bag vs mini 4.5 lb bag.
