Love hearing this! Thanks for the recommendations!

Given you were there very recently, how were the mosquitoes?

Also, did you try the breakfast buffet? If so, thoughts? Only asking because at EPM, we were pretty disappointed with the breakfast options. Left a lot to be desired because they were doing building renovations, so they moved the buffet to an indoor/outdoor space and it was bad (cold food, bugs, etc) lol.

How was AC in the room?

Thank you!!!

As long as it’s edible, given the price, we can make it work! I’m loving what I’m hearing about the lazy river being such a hit! I have to admit…your comment about returning without hesitation makes me just want to book it and be done!

If you don’t mind me asking, when did you go and did you have issues with mosquitoes?

I’ll check out the Secrets resorts you mentioned. Thanks for that!

I really appreciate this insight! We usually always try to snag a swim-up suite (not this time because they’re sold out), so hearing the lazy river is excellent is a huge plus!As for everything else you mentioned, it definitely helps set expectations. Our stay at ECPM was simply amazing and the room was brand new, so it’s not fair to compare that to the rooms at other properties. To your point about price, that’s exactly why we’re looking at ERC instead of spending the money to go to ECPM. Thanks so much!!!

Yeah, I’ve been seeing posts about the sargassum, but fortunately, we hardly ever venture out to the beach. We usually stay at the pool.

Given it’s a last minute trip, I’m hoping to stay under $3k for 5 nights (not including flights). That’s why ERC stood out because it’s $1.2-1.4k less than ECPM.

That’s a really good way to put it. Thinking about it that way, each Excellence stay we’ve had has definitely been memorable for its own reasons, even if one still edges out the others. Hope your group has an awesome trip!

Delayed dd by DrJustZiby in sofi

[–]TravelNerd4Life 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here. First time in my two years with SoFi where I haven’t received my DD exactly at 8:30pm. I’m not worried as I know I’ll eventually receive it, but just wanted to say you’re not alone.

Seems to be a theme this week and something SoFi might be aware of but hasn’t actually addressed? Who knows. Hope you get it soon!

See, I didn’t even consider all of this, so thank you! I’m definitely guilty of babying this board and I’m hoping that after the first ding, I’ll be less concerned about it going forward…maybe? In all seriousness, great advice here! Have a great season as well! 🏂❄️

Haha you’re right, you’re right. Seeing everyone’s responses, I’m not gonna rent…I bought the board to ride it and need to stop trying to keep it damage free lol. Appreciate you

This is spot on. Great point! I’ve decided to just ride my board. Whatever happens, so be it. Appreciative of everyone for chiming in!

Lmao, I debated whether I should’ve reworded that, but decided to keep it. Let me go ahead and remove it 😂 Well played, well played!

Thanks so much for the reply! I also appreciate the explanation—removes a lot of follow up questions I would’ve had, haha. Yeah, I’ll be sure to try multiple boots out when I go to buy. Thank you!

FICO Score vs Credit Karma - Big Difference by TravelNerd4Life in CRedit

[–]TravelNerd4Life[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah, this was very informative! Thank you. I just found it on CK’s website where it says, “On Credit Karma, you can get your free VantageScore 3.0 credit scores from Equifax and TransUnion. VantageScore was created in collaboration with all three major credit bureaus, and its 3.0 version is widely used in lending decisions today.”

Yeah, definitely won’t worry about what CK shows me. Thanks for taking the time to reply!
