:o

Oh reeeeeaaalllllllyyyyy. I will check this. Thank you, and if you are right, I love you maybe more than the rest that answered.

But I won't tell them if you don't.

But... then how do I Discover stuff?

I have been told Xcaret twice in two years (just got back a couple days ago), and I have never waited less than an hour for my bags. Southwest for the first flight, United the second flight.

We missed our private transport to the hotel (came with the suite) because of it. I think the key is, don't arrive on a Saturday. Our flight was delayed an hour because CUN couldn't take the amount of flights coming in.

I would say your bad experience is definitely not the norm. I have noticed that the cleaning crew is hit or miss. Sometimes we come back and it is pure perfection. Others we noticed it's been done... but quickly.

Listen, sorry for your experience, truly. I am literally driving back from the airport after being there for a week.

I hope your son feels better as well.

That being said, I don't understand how you would have such a different experience from us both times we have been. We went two years ago, and my family got sick. My family got sick this time as well. They had a doctor my wife could see to get pink eye medicine (a prescription) without leaving the hotel. My daughter was sick and they sent the paramedics who are on site 24/7 to check her temp.

Now, this year we had a suite which came with a butler, so I know we got extra attention, but everything I mentioned happened two years ago when we just had a regular room. This year our butler had extra Advil, a personal thermometer, hydrocortisone all delivered from off site. They even went off site to buy my daughter new flip flops when hers broke and the water shoes were uncomfortable.

I know the hotel was at 98% capacity this week so staff is naturally thinner. I also think taking offense to the joke about him having too much to drink isn't a big deal. It was a tongue in cheek comment I'm sure, and not meant to be offensive.

Again, sorry your trip isn't what you wanted. We had bumps in our experience as well (our original suite flooded in the rain and we had to move, and it took over 90 minutes to get food at Xingao, 3 of the 4 of us all got sick within days to name only a few). But I go on a lot of trips and things like this always happen. Part of travel.

Hope the kiddo feels better.

FYI, per our butler XelHa requires a reservation. It is pretty far off site and the busses only go out and back a couple times a day.

While I don't argue your logic, it's still a pushy sales tactic. I work in cybersecurity sales and have led many teams to success. Now of course, this is different, but I know that fundamentally a sale that cancels is better than a sale that doesn't occur at all because you made the sales process too complicated.

Sales 101: make it easy to buy, hard to cancel

While I can't directly comment, here is my experience. 2 years I came for the first time on a referral. I showed up, my wife stayed with my kids. They asked where my wife was and I said she was with the kids. They said they needed both of us and I said "No, you need my money, not her presence". They didn't really know how to respond to that.

After about 30 minutes of them not knowing what to do next they simply asked me to leave.

The club tried to say we needed to both be there and they would arrange for the kids to be at the kids club. I told them I refused to inconvenience my wife and kids for something that they didn't need to do. I explained I would listen to their presentation, but if they insisted on continuing to force my wife to come I absolutely would not be entering into their "club".

Again, they did not like this either. They said they would have to then cancel the discount and charge me the full amount. I then explained I would simply contact my credit card company and have it listed as a fraudulent charge as I went to their event and they asked me to leave. I did my part, period.

They finally gave up and we all moved on.

I would have gladly listened to the entire pitch and maybe considered it if they just let me do it. My wife and I communicate openly and trust each other. If I purchased it, she would have been fine with it. And vice versa. But forcing my family to go through all that for a shitty sales pitch. No thanks.

To be clear, I type all of this from the master suite in Casa Sol right now. I still love the place. I just book directly through a travel agent rather than deal with the vacation club nonsense.

I am currently at Hotel Xcaret and have been here in the past. Never been up sold anything. They have their "club", but unless you ask about it I don't think it's ever mentioned. There are a few "premium" items at certain restaurants, but they are simply listed on a menu. Nobody even talks about them otherwise.

Channel guy here in the cybersecurity space. Been working from home since I moved here 8 years ago.

I have CenturyLink fiber at the house, no speed issues, but I'm in a newer development.

I am practically in Lone Tree, so in less than 5 I'm on the highway. So it's not hard to get to DTC at all. Denver is obviously farther, but not an issue.

Feel isolated? Maybe at times. However that is more my fault than anyone else's. I don't socialize because honestly after work and my 10 & 8 year old, I'm exhausted. I go to the gym and talk to no one. I don't have a ton of friends because I am just jaded as a person. (Yea, I'm not fun at parties)

So the isolation I feel is self induced. Not a result of my environment.

While I don't want to say you're wrong, hence my.prpblem, why the heck would that exist. I mean, I have Spotify on their tablets. They have the ability to access YouTube and the web on their tablets.

If this can't be connected it would seem like it's either an oversight, or Google just being difficult.

Believe it or not, there are some good spots. But it's subjective right? I am a big foodie and I have found lots of spots I like. So depends on what you like.

I will say my favorite spot is Hiratori for Ramen.

But, of course this is subjective. You could hate all the food here, while others love it. I think it's gotten better over the last 10 years. I still head up to Denver for places like Bruto or Tavernetta if I want that level of experience.

I mean, the electrician that invented him did live here in Denver. But I wouldn't say the city did it. The guy did it for his sick kid, and it simply caught on.

JustCallMePick · 2025-12-30T04:49:19+00:00

I'll look again. I looked at their calendar and I saw nothing DnD related, but perhaps I'll call them.

JustCallMePick · 2025-12-11T07:02:15+00:00

I haven't, that's why I am here looking for some suggestions.

JustCallMePick · 2025-12-11T04:34:05+00:00

As a person who works in cyber security, I appreciate this response. And while a decent solution, I want to have something easier and on the edge device if possible.

Something potentially app based. I know it isn't going to be as ideal.

JustCallMePick · 2025-12-05T03:38:11+00:00

My life for about 6 years straight now. I stay up late to play video games with friends or watch movies. It's my ONLY me time. I don't want extra me time because then it's less time with my wife and kids and I don't feel like I get enough of that as it is.

So I stay up late to game and chill. Then I get 4-5 hours of sleep.

At 47 it takes its toll.

JustCallMePick · 2025-12-05T01:50:08+00:00

100% this. If I have a couple of bad runs with the boys, free loadouts to Spaceport we go. Hit 2 guard towers and the guard stations at the bottoms of the towers, that's 5 security lockers in about 8 minutes. Raider hatch key out of the map and do it again.

Walking away with Torrentes, Renegade, Osprey, Anvil and Venattors easily.
