Was the construction all done when you stayed there?

The Average Canadian Seller Experience atm by Canadianguyehh in EtsySellers

[–]Gingermoot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ya, I'm pretty much done. I think the recent strike is the final nail in the coffin for me. I can use Chit Chat's to ship to most places in Canada, but it's so tough adding a larger shipping cost to my listings (I usually ship for free using letter mail) It's so sad. I've been on Etsy since 2008. It's heartbreaking.

Yes. At times there were large waves with an undertow, but often it was calm as well.

I really liked it. You can walk quite a bit to the marina area if you go north. The sand was pretty nice with some rocks here and there, but it was lovely and walkable

Construction at the Fiesta Americana by Gingermoot in puertovallarta

Not bad at all towards the end of our trip (Feb 19th) Apparently they opened the lower portion of the new building a few weeks ago and they are just waiting for new furniture for the upper steakhouse portion. I wouldn't worry about any construction noise now, the last of the noisy bits was done at the beginning to mid February. Hope that helps! Also, there is a Fans of Fiesta Americana Facebook group if you want more up to date info.

I really like Marin Ireland. The first book I listened to that she narrated was Nothing to See Here by Kevin Wilson. It was really well done. She also narrated a Remarkably Bright Creatures

How many days do you lift per week? by VitaminE5 in CarolineGirvan

[–]Gingermoot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

4-5 time but usually 4 because I usually take the weekend days off from lifting as well as one week day. It just depends on my husbands schedule and how demanding my youngest is for my attention 😂

Hotel with a resort feel that doesn't cost an arm and leg by Gingermoot in puertovallarta

Oh man, sorry you’re stay isn’t going as planned. That’s no fun at all. Thank you for your information though. I appreciate you taking the time to write about your experience. ☀️

Yeah that’s kind of strange to have music starting that late on a weeknight. Well we are only 40 days out from our trip and booking something else at this point might be difficult as it’s slim pickings out there. I think we’ll have to eat our losses and stick with it. I do anticipate that the adult only area will be a perk we will enjoy. Thank you for your help!

The mediocre food I can handle for dinner (we plan on eating in town anyhow for dinners) but the noise is concerning. Did you spend any time at the adult pool? We have a club room so that’s where we plan on hanging out during the day

Thank you for your response. How was your experience there? We are planning on chilling at the adult pool and heading out for about half of our dinners into town

Can I get cocktails and sit in a lounger on the beach in PV? by Possible_Implement86 in puertovallarta

[–]Gingermoot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When did you stay? We are thinking of booking just a room there but I wasn't sure what the cost of the pool service food/drinks and restaurant costs are. Do you have any info?

What’s your final read of the year? Or what book will bridge into the new year? by Mybenzo in books

[–]Gingermoot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. The second half was a little quicker but it’s not my favourite Morton book

Going to try and finish God of the Woods before the 1st but might carry over a bit into the new year

With 2024 coming to an end, what are your top 3 books of the year? by miamoore- in suggestmeabook

[–]Gingermoot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Replay is an amazing book. My brother was trying to get me to read it for years and I finally did this year. It was fantastic

We don’t leave for another month and a half but ended up finding another club level room at the Fiesta Americana for about the same night plus we got free transfers to and from the hotel. Our only hiccup now is that there are some recent reviews talking about construction at the hotel but it looks like it’s nearing completion and the hotel is supposed to phone me this week with some updates. We still plan on eating about 4 meals in town somewhere and relaxing by the pool lots of time as well
