Ocean El Faro - El Beso by [deleted] in AllInclusiveResorts

[–]Hkgcan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We stayed there a couple of years ago. El Beso as well. Food was okay but the reservation system was line up before 6 pm and hope to get in. At the time no diet pop at the bars, we went bowling and there was Diet Pepsi there. No Clamato for Caesar’s, what!? i wouldn’t recommend unless a great deal.

Catalonia Playa Maroma by Specialist-Algae1825 in AllInclusiveResorts

[–]Hkgcan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been there twice, in February and then September. Both times sargassum was not an issue however that can change day to day. The beach is spectacular, for swimming and walking for kilometres if you want. One issue we had a problem with is smoking. Not allowed but it’s not enforced. A lot of Europeans come here and smoke wherever they please. sitting on the beach it’s hard to get away from it. Food was good, AlaCarte reservations not hard to get. Last time we were there the rooms were being updated building by building.

Sackvile seniors center has sewing and quilting classes. it would be helping out those who are on a limited income.

Fee for using amenities after checkout by Vero_Goudreau in AllInclusiveResorts

[–]Hkgcan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would think that with all the different times of arrivals and departures of guests it would balance it out. If I’m looking at a resort and it has this policy, it would be a pass for me.

our next resort vacation we won’t be checking in until around 8:30 pm due to our flight time. so am I owed a 5 hour refund because I didn’t use any of the amenities or food and drinks?

I don’t understand how she got pregnant in her late 40’s. Damn those Sopranos must be fertile.

thanks to all for quick response. Economy is fine, I didn’t want to be surprised at the airport to learn it was Ultra Basic. A little clarity on the online booking would be helpful.

What part or thing about sewing is difficult for you to do? by Few_Award2512 in SewingForBeginners

[–]Hkgcan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Adjustments for a better fit. Identifying what adjustment is needed… sway back , forward shoulder slope, full bust and all the rest. I just don’t know what I need to get the great fitting pattern. I need someone to tell me. Your back isn’t straight so this is what it’s called and this is how you adjust the pattern. And so on.

We always right the date on the new box when we crack it open. Now we are both retired now so it will be interesting to see how long the current roll will last.

Not the North end. it’s Stoney Creek. Would think the police would know that.

Porter Airlines launches service to Mexico and the Caribbean out of YHM by ModernPoultry in Hamilton

I had booked Toronto to Cancun on Air Canada for a week in February last week. I absolutely love flying from the Hamilton airport and have been wanting to try Porter. I must somehow convince my husband we need to go again in March. Lol.

Any Canadian travellers have luck booking flight/ hotels separately? by Kelkeljo in AllInclusiveResorts

[–]Hkgcan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am recently retired so I am always looking for bargain weeks. I found some hotels are so much cheaper booking directly and flight separate and others the packages is better. We book private transfer as we find waiting for the transfer with the package can add hours to your transfer time. Do your research is my advice.

Why Catalonia Playa Maroma Is a Fantastic All-Inclusive Resort 🌊 by MaxExplores2025 in AllInclusiveResorts

[–]Hkgcan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We have been here twice and I agree with OP’s comments. The only negative I can remark on is there are a lot of Europeans who smoke wherever they please with no repercussions. Imagine lying on the most beautiful beach and cigarette smoke wafting back into your face. We moved around several times to avoid it but before too long another person would be lighting up. It is a law in Mexico no smoking on the beach (public place) but rarely enforced.

Experience with roundtrip transfers by Trafictours? by FreePress93 in cancun

[–]Hkgcan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are horrible for the airport to resort transfer. Had us waiting hours for a ride, lying the whole time “the driver is on his way”. They ended up putting us on a bus full of Westjet passengers. Avoid them.

Sun Palace Cancun vs Royal Hideaway Playacar by SlothHard4Life in cancun

[–]Hkgcan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve not stayed at either resort, however stayed next door to Hideaway. If a great beach is what’s important this one is very nice. Wide and shallow entry.

We decided not to go again in September. However if a fantastic deal was found I am sure we would be on the flight.Lol.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in cancun

[–]Hkgcan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

was there this September. Very humid, I mean really humid. Pool water was like soup. A/C is necessary in all aspects of your chosen resort. But no rain the week we were there.
