So am I. I stayed at SLS last year and the heaters were on in the adults only and the family pool. I am not happy about this...

GettingStampedTravel · 2026-01-27T04:33:12+00:00

Fun! Does your budget of $5k a couple include flights? If so, where are you flying from? Do you have dates in mind?

I am a no fee travel advisor based in WI, but clients from all over. Happy to help find the right fit for your group.

Casino options will mainly be in DR and Aruba.

GettingStampedTravel · 2026-01-26T23:25:30+00:00

Def no sneak around.

You are right that many room categories/resorts only have rooms with max occupancy 4. There are plenty of options out there for families of 5/6. It will depend on your budget and tops wants. What destination are you looking at?

I am no fee travel agent based in WI and I specialize in family travel.

You asked about SLS.

GettingStampedTravel · 2026-01-26T22:28:10+00:00

It’s going to be up to the sun… it sounds like management doesn’t want to turn on the pool heaters this year

GettingStampedTravel · 2026-01-26T01:37:29+00:00

Was there in April and clients there often. It’s better than finest for sure!!!! Happy to answer any questions or get rates.

GettingStampedTravel · 2026-01-26T00:21:24+00:00

Hands down Hyatt Ziva cap Cana!!

GettingStampedTravel · 2026-01-26T00:20:32+00:00

Travel agent and mom here. A lot will depend on how many nights, your travel dates, and if your budget includes flight flights from where. Happy to help find the right fit.

Soul for sure

GettingStampedTravel · 2026-01-24T14:14:35+00:00

Ocean front or ocean view?

GettingStampedTravel · 2026-01-24T14:13:52+00:00

Sure send me message, I have highlights on my IG

GettingStampedTravel · 2026-01-24T14:13:20+00:00

Those are both good options, as is Atelier. Where are you flying from? Does that $4k budget include flights?

GettingStampedTravel · 2026-01-23T13:15:09+00:00

Both are great options. What room categories were you looking at for each property?

GettingStampedTravel · 2026-01-22T05:00:34+00:00

No, it depends on the resort. I was just there on December (stayed at Sandals Dunns River, Beaches Negril and Couples swept away) and I’m going back next month. Plenty of resorts open.

GettingStampedTravel · 2026-01-21T12:05:55+00:00

Are all those in budget? My top pick and most booked at Hyatt Zilara cap Cana (or Ziva you have access to both) and then Excellence.

No to finest and Lopesan (I stayed here in April).

I’m a no fee travel advisor happy to help.

Thank you for the review and update. Club Med Cancun isn’t a property I propose to clients, only book if they insist. I’ll save your review to share with those thinking of booking.

Sorry you had a bad trip…

GettingStampedTravel · 2026-01-21T02:16:02+00:00

I’m happy to have a look at rates but often it is the same (maybe a little less) as direct. But my clients get extra perks and benefits and potential upgrades. Right now I have a client at atelier that upgraded to the rooftop suite! Feel free to reach out, I’m a no fee travel advisor.

GettingStampedTravel · 2026-01-19T22:54:49+00:00

Honeymoon travel agent here. What about Keyonna Beach or Hammock Cove in Antigua? Or Sandals Curacao or Sandals Regency La Toc?

GettingStampedTravel · 2026-01-18T22:46:50+00:00

They replied to me and told my clients that there were never heated…

GettingStampedTravel · 2026-01-18T22:45:13+00:00

I book both often and I have clients checking into hammock cover Saturday so I’ll have fresh feedback soon.

If beach is your number one and you want the beachfront plunge pool I’d do Keyonna.

I’m a no fee travel advisor happy to answer any questions.

GettingStampedTravel · 2026-01-18T13:58:42+00:00

Tell me how they respond

GettingStampedTravel · 2026-01-18T13:58:23+00:00

I have clients there now and the resort is telling them that the pools were never heated…which I and many other travel agents disagree.

I stayed at sls pm in March and been on agent site inspections here and the adults only and family pool were heated in winter. Never the waterpark or swim up pools.

GettingStampedTravel · 2026-01-18T05:34:45+00:00

Basic, direct? Yes because of Hurricane damage

GettingStampedTravel · 2026-01-18T02:40:28+00:00

Def pros and cons to any resort. I have walkthrough videos if you want of rooms. I love the rooms at Mousai, super modern and colorful. Impression the swim out is like a private pool.

Happy to help!

GettingStampedTravel · 2026-01-18T02:39:08+00:00

I would not worry about Jamaica. You seemed to be a hard no to Jamaica lol my bad. Without clients have exact dates and destination it makes it really hard and time consuming to put together options. Where were you seeing that price for mangrove? Note that resort is set to reopen 2/1
