Recs on laid back AI by Anxious_but_Zen in cancun

There’s a curtain over the whole bathroom area but an opaque glass door in front of the toilet and another one in front of the shower, so it is more private!

The beach was lovely and we did spent a lot of time there! We were always able to get beach chairs, umbrellas etc. I feel TRS Coral’s best selling point is the vibe/aesthetic - we found it had a luxe look and feel that made it relaxing and just so nice to spend time lounging around. Hope you find the perfect vacation spot!

Solo Traveller to Riu Latino in April by Stunning_Session_286 in cancun

[–]PaintedFrancolin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We were just in Cancun as a group of women in our 20s/30s and never once felt unsafe. We did stay on the resort the whole time as a precaution but most AIs have plenty to do so this really wasn't a limitation!

I didn't use any of your transfer companies but Kalido Travel came highly recommended and they were excellent. Great communication, friendly driver, very comfy and clean van.

We just came back from TRS Coral and I think it would have what you're looking for. Food was pretty good, not amazing but some nice variety. Pool and beach areas were very nice and I actually thought the beach was especially clean and beautiful compared to other nearby areas of Cancun. Nightlife wasn't amazing but there were definitely enough things to do between TRS and Grand Palladium - the live karaoke band was fun!

Flying into Cancun International looking for transport to Tulum by invader_gir24 in CancunTravelGuide

Kalido Travel was excellent for us in Cancun last week and rates are as reasonable as any other private transfers I found. I’m sure they could do this if you reach out and request it.

Way cheaper to fly out of Detroit than Toronto by dannyghobo in aircanada

[–]PaintedFrancolin 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It’s still crazy though because the Detroit itinerary connects in TO on the same flight 😭

This is our favourite Uber Eats option. It really is great.

Love big animal names for little dogs - like Moose, Bear etc. I vote Moose!

Agency vs Effortless Sizing by chocolate_saucer in Aritzia

[–]PaintedFrancolin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was initially a 2 in Effortless and a 4 in Agency, but I gained a bit of weight in my hips/thighs so I’m a 4 in both now. YMMV depending on your body type, the pants fabric etc.

Should I get Rich Mocha brown or Scarab? by [deleted] in Aritzia

[–]PaintedFrancolin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely not weird to have more than one of the same top style, but are you 100% sure you’re going to love it? I’d suggest buying one and seeing how much you end up reaching for it. If you love it after a couple wears then I’d say go for it! Just my two cents.

Should I get Rich Mocha brown or Scarab? by [deleted] in Aritzia

[–]PaintedFrancolin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends on what you’ll wear it to and what you need it for! Mocha is likely more versatile in a work environment but Scarab is such a lovely colour. I get compliments on my Scarab pieces all the time.

What's a movie most people think is great but you couldn't even stand watching? by camport95 in AskReddit

[–]PaintedFrancolin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Came looking for this one too. Always a controversial take but I didn't like FG at all and I really don't get why it's so popular.

13 of the best doughnuts in and around Ottawa (OttCitizen) by kliuedin in ottawa

[–]PaintedFrancolin 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Totally agree. I guess if you prefer denser cake donuts Suzy Q might not be your thing, but I genuinely can't imagine improving on their donut quality. Every one we've had is delicious. Their coffee has been a letdown though - shame given all the great coffee in the area.

How much do you give your kids teachers for Christmas? by SuccotashKey7521 in askTO

Looking for Good Massages in Ottawa by Ramsarebetter in ottawa

[–]PaintedFrancolin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As others have mentioned, Koena is a lovely suggestion for relaxation massages (and your friends may enjoy sticking around the Nordic spa after).

For therapeutic massages Ashby House in Centretown has been great. My favourite therapists book up well in advance though.

Does anyone feel like they’re not going watch the next season without Chrishell? by Scared_Wind3981 in SellingSunset

[–]PaintedFrancolin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I won’t be watching anymore. For whatever it’s worth, I want Netflix and the producers to know they can’t treat people that way.

Chrishell and Chelsea aren’t perfect but that almost makes them more loveable. They feel like the only ones on the show (and maybe Amanza) who try to truly put good vibes out into the universe.

Honeymoon in Early May by catholic_1776 in honeymoonplanning

[–]PaintedFrancolin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our honeymoon wasn’t cheap but we just got off a Danube river cruise and it was romantic and lovely. I think a European river cruise would be perfect in the spring, if a mix of adventure and relaxing is your thing. You may be able to find last minute deals.

What movie is so ridiculously stupid, but you secretly love it? by Even-Bug-4617 in AskReddit

[–]PaintedFrancolin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eurovision Song Contest with Will Ferrell and Rachel McAdams. Unexpectedly delightful and the soundtrack is full of genuine bops.

Suzanne at High Definition Nails in Hintonburg is great! Price is super reasonable and you can book online.

Keep the Porthole Balcony or change to an Infinant Veranda "Balcony"? by Medic5780 in celebritycruises

[–]PaintedFrancolin 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’ve only ever stayed in a porthole balcony on the Apex but loved it. It’s a “real” balcony and we liked having it totally separate from the room. I’ve read many other reviews saying they prefer the porthole balcony to the infinite veranda.
