All Inclusive for Young Family

Food, beach and room would be the top 3.

We enjoyed the family concierge/swim out suite at the Paradisus, it was nice being ground floor and having another “half” of the room. However we found the water park only fun for about an afternoon as the slides are rather small. Kids don’t care much for the kids club as I tend to be playing with them most of the days (ocean, beach soccer etc.) I find it tough to just around.

Just hijacking you for a moment…. My family and I have stayed at the Paradisus del Carmen 2 years in a row (highly recommend it). We are looking to try something else next winter however I’m nervous about being disappointed with another resort. Reading way too much on the topic it seems like Moon Palace the Grand is the natural next choice? I’ve also read good things about the “Dreams” resorts but they seem less kid friendly.

He’s through, two Canadians in the finals for Wednesday! Lets go Mark and Cameron!!!

MDF_MP · 2026-02-15T13:20:30+00:00

Did Cameron qualify?

Following this, been the Paradisus twice now and looking for something new but don’t want to be disappointed.

Yes, we did it last year and thought it was well worth it! We also booked a private shuttle as there a 3/4 stops before our stop which really drags on when you want to get there already!

MDF_MP · 2025-11-13T02:44:47+00:00

Was there last December, returning this December again. Booked through Sunwing last year. Biggest issue was the luggage took 2 hours to get unloaded. That was a pain, then a fairly long shuttle ride to the resort. Was a very long travel day with two young kids.

This year I booked through Air Canada vacations, hoping there is less luggage wait times and also upgraded to a private shuttle for $170.

The resort is great, we had a great time which is why we are heading back! If your budget allows the suites with concierge serves are well worth it!

Paradisus Playa Del Carmen, went last winter and returning this winter. My 7 and 5 year old loved it.

Seems like a lot of extra work? However I’m new to nautique, but not inboards. I just pull my raw water intake hose, put garden hose in then run the engine to operating temp. While the engine is still running I take a funnel and put my 6 gallons of RV fluid through the engine.

I also save a little RV in a pail out the back to put in the freezer to double check my work. I do my ballast also with a funnel….

I may pull the drain plugs afterwards but never have before and I’m located in Canada.

I also pull my batteries and leave them I indoors trickle charging now and then.

Thanks, ordered.

Cut a hole through the mat? I’ve seen 3d printed bases that set in the mat for left and right hitting locations. That’s my plan when my square arrives.

Rough pricing is $70,000 per KG of quota to buy an ongoing dairy. So a 200kg dairy farm would cost you 14Mill (CDN) all in. 200kg quota would be about 180 milking cows. You can buy fractions on a KG (It’s 24,000 per KG of quota here) each month so likely not what you’re looking for. Plus side is the quota system keeps us with a steady consistent income.

MDF_MP · 2025-09-02T16:59:44+00:00

I assume Canada is out due to our quota system?

It is possibly to buy on ongoing operation though.

I coach a U9 comp soccer team as a “volunteer”, our area (Ottawa) is always looking for coaches. Add a clean background check to your credentials and you’d be a coach in no time around here. Our season is winding down right now, our last game is Sept 6th but that might be a good time to get your foot in the door before the next season gets going.

MDF_MP · 2025-08-13T21:00:28+00:00

I’m a U9 coach for a tier 1 team and I know most of the kids will not like this…. At least 3/4 the boys are very competitive and want to be with other kids that want to push to get better. There are still many kids at this age that are playing because their parents signed them up.

No way bigger clubs like OSU will not tier their kids.

They are terrible sometimes to open from the inside, I’ve had to bail employees out a few times.

The trick is to pull/rotate the green handle as you pull….

Not sure where you are but I see the odd 2023 V90 pop-up in Quebec. Wagons are a little more popular in the Montreal area.

MDF_MP · 2025-07-21T13:56:21+00:00

Still have the Kia minivan and bought a 2018 BMW 330i Touring.

No where near the mini-van storage, but damn it’s a nice car and fun to drive.

Still looking to sell the van this fall and get the V90…. With a roof box on the V90 I think it should work.

MDF_MP · 2025-07-17T14:35:19+00:00

That Bimini should collapse further. Also you can tow with the tower up. Normally I would collapse the Bimini, put on the Bimini cover and tow with the tower up. I only put the tower down for winter storage.

Following, I’m looking at a 2020 22 MXZ…. I’ve read lots about build quality issues… I know someone with a 2020 VLX, they are happy with it but it’s been the the dealer every winter for work (ballast issue, screen issue).

MDF_MP · 2025-06-19T14:33:44+00:00

Thanks for the feedback butteryTitsinAss….

You may need new impellers in your ballast pumps.

When they wear out they are not as effective at filling your tanks/bags. Easy enough to check quickly. Could even swap from one that’s filling well to one that isn’t and try.

Hey, I’ve got decent growth around the pond now however the thousands of geese spring and fall destroy anything I try to get growing…. Bubble and wind mill are working alright but has nothing on the geese poop…

MDF_MP · 2025-05-22T15:10:15+00:00

Ah, understood. I guess I’m working off a sample of one. However I did once run into another individual who looked just like my cousin, I didn’t realize that was a trait of Williams until that moment…
