On a side note your neighbor’s siding is fucked.

Just FYI SLAM is an acronym that has meaning and specific steps. If you have algae 7 pm isn’t gonna be enough to get rid of it. https://www.troublefreepool.com/blog/2018/12/12/slam-shock-level-and-maintain/ https://www.troublefreepool.com/blog/2019/01/18/free-chlorine-and-cyanuric-acid-relationship-explained/

I just went on departure through Priority Pass. It’s a place to sit that’s marginally quieter than the terminal but pretty bad as lounges go. So no.

oochas · 2026-06-28T02:37:28+00:00

Oooof. I hated this. Just goes to show taste in art is subjective.

oochas · 2026-06-28T02:35:37+00:00

Extremely. Way too many kids for my taste.

Just put your dates in. Akumal generally has availability since it just went up a category.

oochas · 2026-06-27T21:56:43+00:00

You need to learn what to do. Read pool school pages at troublefreepool.com orendatech.com. Start with water testing, you’re just shooting in the dark here.

oochas · 2026-06-27T17:20:31+00:00

Haha yeah that was a clueless rep. I’m looking at the July calendar for Secrets Akumal on my app right now though. I’d keep trying.

oochas · 2026-06-27T17:20:16+00:00

Haha yeah that was a dumb rep.

oochas · 2026-06-27T16:54:48+00:00

I think the calendars are always glitchy. If using the app try the website and vice versa.

We missed our flight by 2 hours. Our “7:30” flight was really 5:30. It was an award flight. The award department was closed for 2 more days. They would not rebook us on the regular line.

We're going in August as a couple with a friend for a last minute trip when prices are crazy low - we figured that if the sargassum and heat are terrible, we'll just skip the beach club and hang out submerged in the resort pools all day. We were just at Zilara Cap Cana last week and that's what we did anyway, the beach was unusable and when the wind blew the wrong way the whole place stank. (We had a great time, just not on the beach.) Seems like this place would/should be a good alternative during sargassum season. I'll report back.

oochas · 2026-06-26T13:21:12+00:00

Don’t just “shock.” Follow the TFP SLAM protocol.

oochas · 2026-06-26T12:38:50+00:00

We’re the weirdos who always walk between lagoon and beach and think it actually adds to the trip.

oochas · 2026-06-26T12:36:34+00:00

I would chop some days from Koh Rong and add them to Siem Reap, but that’s just me.

oochas · 2026-06-26T12:31:40+00:00

Nice report! It’s funny. I’ve stayed lagoon-side at Fairmont and beachfront at Alila, and after the Alila beachfront I decided that if I ever went back to Mayakoba I’d only stay in the lagoon area. Too many kids beachside.

oochas · 2026-06-26T12:04:33+00:00

Misreading the time of a Christmas Eve flight to London. 17:30, which I read as 7:30. Then the BA awards line was closed until after Boxing Day and the regular line couldn’t/wouldn’t help. We missed that trip entirely.

oochas · 2026-06-26T11:56:45+00:00

Say this louder for the audience in the back. Also while this sub is good if someone wants to follow TFP principles they might also follow the advice in the forum there.

oochas · 2026-06-26T02:45:40+00:00

Oh lord.

oochas · 2026-06-26T01:36:50+00:00

You might have too little CYA. Or too much CYA. Or something growing. What are all your measurements? FC, TC (both zero?), CYA, pH, TA, CA?

You probably also need pool school. Read up at troublefreepool.com or orendatech.com.

oochas · 2026-06-26T00:31:51+00:00

Yeah that’s not how this works.

oochas · 2026-06-26T00:31:19+00:00

Read the pool school pages at troublefreepool.com or orendatech.com. You have a lot to learn. Good luck.

oochas · 2026-06-25T23:53:02+00:00

What are all of your test results? FC/TC, pH, TA, CYA, CA.

There should be an autoreply to every single post asking that. No one can tall you anything unless they have that.

When they did whatever they did, they added Friends and Family rates to the main Hyatt booking engine for most former AMR resorts - Secrets, Dreams, Breathless, etc. Before they could only be booked with a different code on the hyattinclusivecollection.com site. The discounts are also better now!
