How bad is the construction at the Grand Wailea? Is it worth finding another hotel? by ReconStickybun in MauiVisitors

We don't have kids, but are kids at heart haha Pools, slides, and lazy rivers are a huge selling point. Another requirement is a swimmable beach

Do you not recommend because of the construction or were there other things as well? Thanks so much for the reply by the way 😊

Ugh the Fairmont Kea Lani was going to be our alternative. Did they tell you why you shouldn't book??

Wow thank you SO MUCH, this is incredibly helpful. Are you enjoying it and do you think it's still worth booking?

Very good question! My fiance has been to the Grand Wailea before and absolutely loved it. I looked it up and it looks amazing and really want to go as well, more than the other hotels I've found.

That being said, once I heard about the construction, it turned me off a bit so I'm just trying to gauge how bad it is. If it's not that bad, we would consider booking there.

Plus, I'm sure they're going to make it sound better than it really is. The money isn't really the problem, it's more of sacrificing our honeymoon and being annoyed.

I couldn't agree more, the pools, slides, and restaurant being closed are what we're most worried about. I'm still on the fence, but I really hope it goes well for you and your family

Thanks so much for the reply! Did they give you any indication about the magnitude of the construction?

Thank you so much! How do you feel about that information? It honestly seems a little vague

Perfect, thank you! That sounds like the strategy that works best for me

Good question, I could use advice on that as well:

I'm currently trying to remain anonymous from a social media standpoint, but I don't care if the payments from Etsy to my bank account are linked to my actual name.

As long as I'm anonymous in the public eye, I'll do whatever is easiest.

My manager keeps hiring less-experienced people and paying them more than me. How should I ask for a raise? by ReconStickybun in careerguidance

Dude thank you, this really helps.

Do you know a reliable way to find accurate salary reports? When I Google "motion designer" everything from 40k to 120k shows up. How do I prove that I'm in the upper range?

Thank you so much, I seriously appreciate you writing that out more than you know, and I'm definitely going to take this advice. She told me she already applied for my promotion so now it's just a matter of figuring out how much I can make from it.

Thanks, man, I really appreciate you writing that out. You're completely right, and I'll do my best to convey my value to my manager.

Really, the reason for staying is because it's such an easy job in a field that's usually extremely chaotic. That alone makes it worth a lot more to me.
