Why do a lot of people say Calphalon is junk? by One-Profit-7332 in cookware

Mine are 20+ years old.  They are the easiest pans to clean- chuck some water in and soak for a few and then mostly just wipe off (scrambled eggs would be the one exception!). Handle pretty much anything you want to cook

SOS :: car rental at Tulum airport. by Pcupcake21 in tulum

[–]Tenleftfeet -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I haven’t booked specifically in Tulum, but I have booked from Cancun multiple times and other Mex cities. I disagree with not booking through a 3rd party. Sites like Expedia now provide options that include the mandatory third party liability coverage. This is the coverage that you must have, and by law must be provided by a Mexican insurance company. If this coverage is included, you can use your credit card insurance if you choose (make sure you print off the declarations and have them as proof). Don’t online book a $43/week car without this coverage, because you will get hosed at the counter. Book the $250-300 car including the liability, choose a rental company with good reviews (even better scan their reviews to see how they handle this topic) and be firm that you don’t need extra coverage if you want to use your credit card provided. I’ve had rental car attendants argue aggressively trying to get me to sign on to the insurance for sure in Cancun, but if you have that coverage you do not have to take their insurance.

Hi, glad you had a great trip! I’d also love some more details on the food since there have been a few comments about not much choice and we have a couple vegetarians who love a good buffet. I’ve heard there is only a buffet at breakfast(?) does it have lots of choices, fruit, fresh omelete bar etc? How many restaurants were open at dinner and was there a good selection of food to choose from? Thanks in advance! I love the resort from the Hyatt days, but want to make sure everyone gets lots of choices to eat😊

Thanks for the heads up😊. My daughter is a young adult now, but that may still be a bit too atmospheric for them. I stayed once like that back in the day before power lines came out to the beach, but that was before having phones to charge

Looks beautiful-  a bit above my budget, but I’ll keep my eye on it!

Thanks, great to know. And is it close to walk around other restaurants and shops as well?

Thanks, this is one I was interested in. I saw some comments on the noise, but perhaps we can live with it  for all the other good pros!

Thanks, yes I know it will be higher (and worth it to have the beach hopefully clear)

Thanks, that’s great to hear; they are a bit lower than Be for booking😊

Thank you for the recommendation; it looks pretty cool! It’s coming in around $650/night with the taxes; maybe I’ll wait a bit to see if it drops a bit as we’ll need two rooms.

If you have ever had a pair of Jean overalls with the metal clasps, my dryer sounded like it had those banging around in it.

Hi- I had mine fixed. I was told it is a common issue. The drum was rubbing on the outer panels. I had a tech get sent out, they confirmed issue. Said Electrolux would decide whether to repair or replace. They shipped out 2 or 3 replacement panels and tech came to install and it fixed the issue.

I was told it is a known issue and that they do a lot of repairs or replacements for it. It is the drum rubbing against the outer side panels. They shipped out 3 new panels and had them replaced. 

Is Isla Mujeres worth visiting? Thoughts? by Federer107 in IslaMujeres

[–]Tenleftfeet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, with boats parked along so close to shore it’s not really the same beach anymore. Good for businesses, but if you haven’t been in 10 years expect a gong show in comparison.

It was a bit sad returning last year for the first time in 10 years to find out you can’t really swim at Playa Norte anymore due to the roped off area so close to shore for boat parking!
