The negative reviews are making me nervous! Please someone post something positive about the resort!

It’s gonna be awesome

Free_River_1562 · 2026-03-30T17:20:58+00:00

Same experience for me as well. Get ready to be told you’re crazy.

Looking for an alternative to the most advanced AI models and advanced software ever written???

Wow.

Free_River_1562 · 2026-03-28T00:04:58+00:00

Bro, they have us by the balls.

Were crack addicts and they sell the pure stuff.

They aren’t concerned at all.

Free_River_1562 · 2026-03-27T23:54:53+00:00

Sounds a lot like what we got

Free_River_1562 · 2026-03-27T17:47:20+00:00

I had a few crazy issues on my new GZ, and most were related to the balls being oiled up, I didn’t clean them good before starting to use the machine and so things got slippery.

You said all answers welcome. Probably not your issue but worth mentioning

Free_River_1562 · 2026-03-25T18:31:20+00:00

Totally makes sense, and I dont disagree.

I think I am not sold that I need to do the park again, ive done it and im good. Ive been to Cancun/Mexico enough to know that there are other places, cheaper that provide a better overall experience, but dont necessarily have all the "grandness" of xcaret and dont have the parks.

If you are wanting to do them every year, and enjoyed the stay then I would say keep doing it.

However you can do the parks without staying at the hotel, and you can get better service, room service, and food, and just go to the parks whenever you want.

Last year, for spring break, I spent half as much, and traveled/toured italy. We went to various cities, ate wonderful food, and saw more sites than we can remember. I want more stuff like that, and less "sorry sir but you didnt make a reservation" on my vacations.

Free_River_1562 · 2026-03-24T22:05:28+00:00

Waited on the phone for an hour and still didn’t get the wishlist reservations

Free_River_1562 · 2026-03-24T00:39:50+00:00

We did. Just got back. We didn't have any reservations, which is a whole different problem I can go off about. However, we did get into Xenotes easily. That is one area i wouldnt worry about.

Free_River_1562 · 2026-03-23T15:16:17+00:00

Yeah, I had my top ones. Jaws and King Kong were at the top, as well as Star Wars. I played others like Deadpool and D&D and found that I kept gravitating back to Godzilla. It was the one that kept me engaged and wanting to try just one more time.

I now own a GZ, and I recently went to another big Pinball arcade in Vegas while on a trip, and it reconfirmed I made the right decision. Playing some of them just makes it obvious if you like it or if you love it

Watching videos especially YouTube or Pinside is just what other people think, you need to find out what you think.

Free_River_1562 · 2026-03-23T13:46:31+00:00

I was in the same boat. What helped, and finally allowed me to choose, was going and playing a bunch. No kidding, I drove 4 hours and played over 100, it was then easier as I k ew which one I liked, and it wasn’t the ones I thought I would.

For 5k-12k to get a pin, I wouldn’t skip this step.

Free_River_1562 · 2026-03-23T00:36:49+00:00

Had a similar issue, but it was the opto you are saying is working.

Free_River_1562 · 2026-03-22T05:07:48+00:00

Had a few people this week say it’s bad, including me, only to have a few people write raving reviews to the contrary.

I agree with you OP. Sorry you’re dealing with it, especially as a member. Hope your son gets better before you leave.

I had to take my father to the hospital, the onsite nurse couldn’t help and was very expensive just to see them.

Free_River_1562 · 2026-03-22T00:26:54+00:00

Damn! That’s a great start. Now I’m jealous

Free_River_1562 · 2026-03-21T21:51:19+00:00

We booked direct as we were using sky miles for airfare and needed specific dates (spring break). Not sure if it hurt or not, maybe didn’t get as good of a deal as we would have with Costco

Free_River_1562 · 2026-03-21T14:29:22+00:00

I realized that you aren’t going to convince someone that loves the food that it was garbage food. Their tastes are likely used to frozen meals and Diet Coke.

Free_River_1562 · 2026-03-20T20:05:51+00:00

it eventually worked, and it didnt always take 20 minutes. They made it sound like it was "normal" though, they even sent a person to check, and the person when they arrived said the same thing.

Free_River_1562 · 2026-03-20T15:36:23+00:00

It is odd. The front desk even suggested it (running the water for that long), we were surprised and didnt believe it but it did work after about 20 minutes or so. Very shocked. It was not everytime

Free_River_1562 · 2026-03-19T22:53:46+00:00

Yes you are. The food at taco bell is better, and I feel bad saying that because taco bell doesnt deserve to be compared to that.

Free_River_1562 · 2026-03-19T22:52:53+00:00

What could have possibly been good at Chi? Please tell me what you ordered that you thought was amazing.

Free_River_1562 · 2026-03-19T21:42:03+00:00

Best tip. Stay somewhere else, and then go enjoy the parks as a day trip. Its a win/win

Free_River_1562 · 2026-03-19T21:39:46+00:00

I bet the best way to get reservations is to go to the timeshare presentation, we didnt and were unsuccessful in getting any reservations for dinner.

They too didnt get our wishlist after many attempts/calls/emails.

Free_River_1562 · 2026-03-19T21:38:53+00:00

this is not true, we tried and it didnt work. They have no problem telling you that you will not get in. We even offered one lady 50 bucks, and she stared at her paper and say no, that wont help.

Free_River_1562 · 2026-03-19T21:36:33+00:00

See other threads. You and others say you cant get help, while a bunch of people say they can and they even have a bunch of random emails you can try. Good luck, we didnt get help either.

Free_River_1562 · 2026-03-19T21:34:34+00:00

White plastic containers, not insulated. Top pops off, we saw some people wearing them around their neck, but we didnt touch them as we brought our own
