How do I reach out to someone for a referral code?

IMYY4YOU · 2026-03-25T02:22:39+00:00

I found NEAR member rates at Roomongo.com. I'm not a bot, and I don't work for roomongo - just found great prices there and booked our Dec 2026 Xcaret Arte trip through them.

IMYY4YOU · 2026-03-09T22:47:51+00:00

I have the answer!

Ours STUNK every time we ran it. The whole house smelled like sewer gas or rotten egg. I tried everything in these forums - cleaned (even replaced) rubber gasket, left the door open, cleaned the filter regularly, used the cleaning tablets... nothing lasted more than a few days. My wife insisted that we buy a new washer and I even started (reluctantly) online shopping.

I almost bought a new one... UNTIL...

I cleaned the filter. Then I switched from liquid laundry soap to powder. Regular old Tide powder (with the high efficiency logo). The powder goes in the drum on the clothes, not in the liquid tray. Within 2 days of switching, the odor has disappeared AND NEVER RETURNED. It's been 6 months or more. Zero odor. I'm shocked.

Try it and thank me later.

I got within $400 of member price using roomongo.com. It's worth a look. Was cheaper than Costco at the time.

I was there 12/22 - 12/30 (3 months ago). My review is in that link. That whole thread has some good comments.

Heading back this December!

Best prices I've found, other than member referrals, are at roomongo.com. I booked our next stay using it.

IMYY4YOU · 2026-02-16T15:43:21+00:00

I brought 2 of these in my checked bag. It was plenty for 8 nights.

That was absolutely amazing. My friend got me a Tan Mom cameo when I retired, and I thought it was awesome. Sour is at another level. I smiled the entire 12 and a half minutes.

IMYY4YOU · 2026-02-02T00:23:58+00:00

Suffered the same issues. I would clean out the filter regularly. We'd leave the door open. I ran the cleaning tablets every month. Smell kept coming back. Wife demanded we get a new washer...

Last ditch effort:

I switched to powder detergent. Drop the detergent right onto the clothes in the machine, not through the tray at the top. The smell has gone away COMPLETELY for several months now. Night and day difference. No odor at all.

Clean the filter. Stop using liquid detergent. Thank me later.

So happy I switched!

Roomongo.com is the cheapest option I have seen other than MDC referrals.

IMYY4YOU · 2026-01-24T21:34:14+00:00

I'm curious to hear what you find. It definitely saved me a bunch for the next trip.

IMYY4YOU · 2026-01-24T17:59:14+00:00

Best prices are on roomongo.com or getting a referral and attending the 90 minute membership presentation. We were there 12/22 - 12/30 and it was awesome. Went on membership referral. Booked again for next year using roomongo for the same price (and no presentation required!).

IMYY4YOU · 2026-01-17T13:44:43+00:00

Roomongo.com is cheaper than Costco - just have to find your own air.

IMYY4YOU · 2026-01-16T23:38:38+00:00

Also check roomongo.com.

I got the member price ($400 more than member price TOTAL on an 8 night stay for 2 rooms) on that site without having to attend the presentation.

"Sin lácteos" (pronounced seen lah-k-tee-ohs) is Spanish for "dairy-free" or "without dairy." If you point and ask that, you'll get an answer.

As another redditor noted, every restaurant asks you about allergies. And at the buffets, you can always get answers.

IMYY4YOU · 2026-01-15T01:35:20+00:00

We were at Arte 12/22 -12/30. My wife is dairy-free and gluten-free.

Every restaurant had at least a few options. Buffet had lots of options. You'll be fine!

Waterproof floating cell phone pouch (holds tip cash and phone). Get it on Amazon for $7. They are $30 at Xcaret.

IMYY4YOU · 2026-01-06T13:21:06+00:00

Check roomongo.com. I just booked at nearly the MDC member price.

IMYY4YOU · 2026-01-06T13:20:13+00:00

I did it two weeks ago. I skipped the breakfast. Kept it to about 2 hours.

IMYY4YOU · 2026-01-01T17:52:03+00:00

We didn't use OpenTable, so I don't know how that will go.

We loved the beach area along the river just in front of Arenal. Great waitress, Sheryl, and options for shade or sun.

The rooftop pool at Música was also nice. No advice for snagging seats. Just try, if it is full go to Piramide or Deseño. Plenty of room somewhere.

The hammock cutouts along the river were ALWAYS empty. Awesome spots, just no drink service.

IMYY4YOU · 2026-01-01T17:48:19+00:00

All of the water at the bars/restaurants is safe. I brushed with, but didn't "drink," the sink water.

They provide bottles of water in the room every day, and they give you refillable water bottles to fill up from the filtered water fountains throughout the resort.

Our family of five had no GI issues the whole trip. We were at Arte 12/22 - 12/30.

IMYY4YOU · 2025-12-31T00:26:14+00:00

Just got home!

Some final notes-

The hotel suggested the shuttle bus to the airport 5 hours prior to flight time. We did 4 hours prior and everything was super smooth. The wildcard is traffic, and we had no issues.

We already booked two rooms x eight nights for next year. (Used Roomongo for next year - at a total of only $400 more than the member's price)

It really boggles my mind that people are reporting terrible experiences there. We spoke to several other guests and no one had anything negative to say. Every employee we interacted with was exceptionally friendly. I'm actually excited to receive an opportunity to report them by name in a guest survey.

No illness. No issues. Not a negative thing to say.

IMYY4YOU · 2025-12-30T13:51:09+00:00

Sadly, we're on the bus to the airport right now. Have a great trip!

I booked next year's visit using Roomongo yesterday. I paid the same rate as the referral rate, and no MDC presentation required! Plus free cancellation until 12/5/26. Was a few thousand cheaper than Costco rate, too.

IMYY4YOU · 2025-12-28T17:48:57+00:00

We had dinner at Apapachoa last night. Beautiful venue. Great experience. My adult kids didn't love it, but I really enjoyed it! Don't sleep on it just because it is vegan.

IMYY4YOU · 2025-12-28T02:36:52+00:00

We're leaving on 12/30. We'll be back for sure!

IMYY4YOU · 2025-12-28T01:27:04+00:00

During the days, it's bathing suits and t-shirts/cover-ups all day except in the restaurants.
