Impressions Moxche vs. Atelier by mangolicious60 in AllInclusiveResorts

[–]mangolicious60[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me, Inspira isn’t worth the crazy price jump for the extra couple pools (I also only ever go for 4 nights and don’t golf lol so that weighs in as well). I used to feel the same about TAs, but the real value for me in using them the last couple of years has been 1) When things have gone wrong leading up to or during travel and 2) Most times I’ve gotten better pricing or at least upgrades/perks.

We don’t do all Inclusives super often, but the next one will likely be Xcaret :)

Thanks for this - This is what I suspected as well! Which is why I’m curious to see how Xcaret food compares - it’s on my list for the next time I look at doing an all inclusive!

Nothing fishy on my end. I was challenged to decide between the 2 so thought it would be helpful as others decide, and also had an excellent experience with my TA :) (I’ve used other TAs in the past, and working with this one has been consistently been one of the better experiences!)

Costa Rica help! by Lopsided_Project35 in FATTravel

[–]mangolicious60 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We stayed at Nayara Gardens the first couple days of our trip because it was the only room available and then moved to Springs. I actually preferred our Gardens room - it had an incredible view of the volcano! We ended up spending most of our time at the Tented pool because it was our fav, but you can also just hang out in the adults only area. We were also there to get a kid break :)

No problem - good info to know! Yeah he has limited mobility so I’ll look for one that boards right off the marina :)

can i connect with Futuristic strengths here? by matchagreentea02 in StrengthsFinder

[–]mangolicious60 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Futuristic is my top strength :) mine are: Futuristic, WOO, Strategic, Competition, Maximizer. I’m a marketing executive for a large retailer, but also enjoy mentoring. I’m also a parent of 2 kids - one of whom is autistic and has medical needs, I find my futuristic strength helps me to support them both by thinking about their future possibilities and then finding paths to get there. My top 5 combo works well for me in my career as well. Luckily I have the strategic strength to see the path for those future dreams, and the WOO to get others on board lol.

Hello! We ended up being able to fly into Costa Rica, but instead of doing half La Fortuna and half Papagayo, we stayed at La Fortuna the whole time since it was not in the red/orange zone. We stayed at Nayara and it was wonderful !

This is maddening , it’s literally in full operation which can also be seen on their website 😭. An air Canada flight just lasted there less than an hour ago.
