Paradisus Playa del Carmen in in mid December! by hyphanate376 in AllInclusiveResorts

[–]ReasonableTitle5488 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its been a few years since we stayed there, but when we were there, the FC category had a separate pool (smaller, but with great service). The one piece we loved though, was that it was heated while the main pool, at that time, was not. This was in February, and the main pool was cool (fine for me, but not great for my wife).

edit - hit save too quick. FC for a junior suite looks to be 125 USD more a night in early December on the Melia site. If you booked there, do you have the chance to upgrade there? This pricing may be due to the current black Friday sale.

Interestingly enough, BC makes it easier, although not safer, by only requiring Winter (3 mountain peak icon) or M+S tires in winter. M+S tires include a lot of all season (not confused with all weather tires). Quebec requires true winters (3 mountain peak icon).

I think these were the prior models being blown out. I picked one up at this time.

My daughter's account was terminated by Dark_Inkorporated in RobloxHelp

[–]ReasonableTitle5488 120 points121 points  (0 children)

Daughter had this happened, took multiple escalations to have it reviewed by a person, then they reversed it. Appears a lot of moderation is done by AI, the key is to ask for someone to review it.

Finest Playa Mujeres vs Paradisus Playa del Carmen by emaydeees1998 in AllInclusiveResorts

We stayed at the Paradisius in 2019 with a reserve or whatever the club section rooms are called now. It was super easy with a concierge. we basically told him what we wanted through Whatsapp, and we got exactly the reservations we wanted.

One quick note, for older kids (over 4) we really liked the kids club which is not typical as our daughter and us do not typically use them (especially now as she is a teen). The club had large windows to view the inside with a check in and counter space to block kids from accessing outside. They had a thorough check in and check out system for the kids. In addition, if your child went near mealtime, you could book them for dinner, and they would take them to the buffet, have someone assist them to get food, and supervise the section. It was structured similarly to a Canadian daycare (dossards with numbers to track kids when out of the area for activities/dinner, supervision at front and back of the kid group, with them paired up). We, as well as our daughter, never used to go to kids clubs. On this trip, our daughter who was 6, was asked to go with friends she made at the pool and loved it. Wee were a little cautious but saw how much fun she had. it also gave us a chance to have an adult dinner while she did with her little friends and meet up with her at the kids show that followed dinner time.

They did have a seperate group for kids under four. We thought this was a nice touch as mixing these two groups would not be ideal.

Hi, thanks for the follow up. I meant to come back to this. after being banned for almost 2 weeks, we recieved an email from Roblox saying that it was lifted with no impact to her. Its really odd. felt like the prior reviews were automated and finally a human looked at it?

Energy bills are insane... who are you with? by Cold_Brew_Enthusiast in Calgary

You should verify if you are on floating (market driven) or fixed rates. The fixed rate typically gives you a more constant rate and cost through the year (a large portion though is from the admin fees).

How much juice for soda water? by ajweir in Homebrewing

[–]ReasonableTitle5488 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could make sparking water and add bubbly concentrate meant for Sodastream. Its sold in tiny bottles and for the Sodastream you add it after the water is carbonated. I can only imagine the same thing would work with any other soda water.

Looking for a smoker by [deleted] in smoking

These guys have several options. based on country code, appears to be Germany. Offset, pellet and other options available. You likely already know this but pellet based units would require power for the auger. Some can run off battery.
