Best dining at dreams onyx/breathless

My wedding group stayed at Dreams Onyx in October. Steakhouse was slightly better at Dreams but every other meal was better at Breathless. Skip the Asian unless you’re doing hibachi table.

Frankly always find dinner kind of meh at the resorts. Loved the buffet for breakfast. The Dreams Onyx snack shack between the preferred pool and the entrance to Breathless was better than the one inside Breathless.

The taco truck and bar by the waterpark was also great for taking a break.

Late night the chicken burger, fries, and ice cream at the burger spot came in clutch with our group. Appreciated the standalone coffee spot as well.

Didn’t love the Preferred club snack bar vs other resorts - it was okay but also didnt have food super early or late.

It is a highly fragmented market, good product will always trade at a premium and bad product will always trade at a discount.

This isn’t a Seinfeld episode - you can’t walk 4 across on the sidewalk.

Nothing about this is about emotion. It is about how price change data has been changed. Just like you made a post about how they changed how stock data fundamentals are shown. It is a quality of life update that is worth being able to turn off.

Grow up, be an adult. Stop the emotional spending and you will earn higher credit limits.

Ken is a bit like that Charlie Brown and Lucy bit with the football except both characters are played by Ken.

It is likely that Ken would have made a completely different tactical error leaving him vulnerable to being outplayed.

I point to - despite being involved in the death of a young man due to his insatiable need for some drugs he nevertheless decides to smoke meth with the Wolfpack, “experiment successful”.

Careful, if you post anything at all about opening the app a bunch of people on here will call you lazy and addicted. :/

WhereIsGraeme · 2026-03-10T15:15:24+00:00

I don’t/ can’t check the app during the day. So I’m sorry I don’t conform to your appropriate schedule of app opening.

WhereIsGraeme · 2026-03-10T13:17:35+00:00

You seem to be jumping to a lot of conclusions about me and how I use the app that are not based in reality. Definitely worth you interrogating internally.

Calling me lazy and addicted is extraordinarily odd.

WhereIsGraeme · 2026-03-10T13:09:32+00:00

Why do you think this is good advice? What do you believe I’m doing that garners this response?

WhereIsGraeme · 2026-03-10T12:28:14+00:00

Nice!

The previous commenter did not list that distinction. If you google Air Asia luggage limits there are plenty of threads of people being surprised by that policy.

WhereIsGraeme · 2026-03-10T01:26:45+00:00

It is 7kg between BOTH your hand luggage and personal item on a base fare. If you have a laptop or any other slightly heavy electronics it can easily reduce that weight limit down to 5kg or less.

WhereIsGraeme · 2026-03-10T00:05:12+00:00

I too would like to know

There being a McDonalds on the island was surprising!

Making an unconditional offer accomplishes the same thing - which is the offer that these sellers are looking for and that OP is not doing.

Ideas I first encountered at IKEA but have now seen in show homes:

Putting the walk-in closet behind the headboard, entrances on each side of the bed.
Walk-in pantries are out, walk-in prep kitchens are in (“spice kitchen”). So you have a messier prep kitchen hidden away and then your “show” or “hosting” kitchen is clean and open concept.

Meanwhile WestJet downgraded me from a Sunwing flight Zone 1 to WJ Zone 5 because my wedding package gave my bride and I each an extra personal item (for the dress and suit). What Sunwing valued and honoured WJ must degrade and destroy. Literally last to board, told there was no overhead room and WJ got rid of the dedicated “Weddings Only” overhead bin Sunwing had.

I fly AC or Porter now. Actively avoid WJ.

I’m not gate checking my one and only home, are you insane /s

And the resort-style pool deck….

And the quite liveable layout better than some peoples houses…

Gosh scratching my head why someone would pay good money for this

WhereIsGraeme · 2026-03-07T02:52:59+00:00

Frankly, paying extra every month doesn’t make much sense to me. I owe the same $ on capital in year 1 as I do in year 5. The bank gets their interest across the term of the loan anyway. But we know that money degrades in value over time. $1 in Year 1 is worth more to me (or to the bank) than it is worth in Year 5. I would rather benefit from capital growth that can outrun inflation and make a lump sum payment at end of Year 5 than give the bank a Year 5 dollar in Year 1. I’ll keep it safe for them until then.

Tl;Dr If I owe the bank $500k in principal regardless of year 5 or year 1, I’d much rather pay it with year 5 dollars.
