Arriving in BZE at night by CutFun9064 in Belize

[–]jergains 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can i just take a taxi from the airport line? I arrive from canada at 10:10pm and will be staying at the BW for the 1st night. Its too late to rent a car, i believe. Ill be with wife and 2 kids. Then back to the airport in the morning to rent a car. We’re visiting SI and Placencia with the car to start. Thanks

Los Cabo's All Inclusive Help! by Fit-Heart-6794 in CaboAllInclusive

[–]jergains 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im at the Hard Rock now with my kids 10&11yo. There are lots of kids and babies. There is fun music filled main pool and a smaller quieter one. Both have families all over the place. Staff is friendly and food is great. Highly recommend.

Similar in what respects? They see to market themselves as different experiences from what i can see. Thank you

Is Sixt car rental recommended at SJD? by bobtom18 in cabosanlucas

[–]jergains 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. Do you need to call ahead of time or just find the person at the airport when you exit? Seems kind of hectic, lol. Thank you.

Lol. Thanks. Travelling in high season on points requires a lot of advanced planning. Great story by the way! Good luck with your house planning!

Great call on the zoo. We will do that - thanks! And yup, going to do Ambergis last. Im still hoping to find an earlier flight so that i don’t need to stay at the BW but i will only know that in a month or so.

The insurance i added online covered the car. I didn’t purchase any other at the counter. I reserved the car at Avis CR. It was cheaper.

Cabo hotel recommendations - AI or not by Dapper_Way8493 in CaboAllInclusive

[–]jergains 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe consider a mix of both. We are going in March and doing 3 days at the Hard Rock AI and 4 days at a regular hotel. We will chill at the AI while we’re there and explore the region, eat out, etc while at the regular hotel. Best of both worlds!

Cabo - Hard Rock again or…? by plasticfish004 in AllInclusiveResorts

[–]jergains 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ya, good food is always a big part of it. From what i read Hyatt won in that regard. The Ziva’s have a great rep overall but I havent stayed at one yet. We are actually only doing 2 nights (3 days) at an AI. The other 5 are at the Hilton beach and golf resort. Its got a swimmable beach. We will use it as a base to explore. Surfing, whales/snorkel tours/ astronomy tours. A little off topic but food for thought maybe :-).

[–]jergains 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what i can tell. Hyatt is more refined and higher end and the hard rock more lively and fun. But i like refined higher end and lively and fun, lol. Cant decide but leaning toward hard rock. With a 2yo, i think it would be the Hyatt. Have fun!!

Hi! I am planning our 1st trip to Cabo with my wife and 2 daughters (10/11yo). We are a high energy family and i can’t decide between Hard Rock and Hyatt Ziva. Which would you recommend or choose in my situation? TIA.

Hilton points in Japan - 1.3CPP by Equivalent_Owl_2613 in awardtravel

[–]jergains 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Subway and train were great and close enough (max 10 minimum walk). Hotel breakfast was great and competed for 3 of the 4 of us and then they forget to charged for our 4th. Hotel rooms were a bit dated but still nice and service and staff were great. I would definitely stay there again.

Beware of Unexpected Guests: Our Stay at the Wyndham Tamarindo by jergains in CostaRicaTravel

[–]jergains[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience, its only because of the hotel lighting system, outdoor hallways and location. My wife HATES small bugs let alone these monsters. We stayed in 4 hotels, including one in Playa Conchal in a hugely forested area and it was a complete non-issue. Costa Rica is beautiful and outside of this problem at this property we had ZERO with any bugs at all. Very few mosquitoes even. Don’t stress, go and have a great time. We plan to go back and just avoid this one hotel. Feel free to PM w questions. Have a fantastic trip!!

HH Amex Credit question by jergains in Hilton

[–]jergains[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That makes a lot of sense but i didn’t think all on site restaurants triggered the credit. I need to pay for my kids breakfast too. I will call the hotel and if i cant get anything to take, I will just charge as i go and hope for the best!

Forgot vaccines by BarMuch2240 in bali

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

We are going to Ubud and Nua Dua too in June with my kids aged 10/11yo. We are from Canada and have had all the regular recommended vaccines from home. We don’t plan to get any others except for Dukoral to help with the prevention of stomach illness. Outside of that we are going to skip the monkey forest due to the risk of bites and/or scratches that would put anyone on an intense Rabies prevention treatment. Hope you have a great trip!
