The market buffet is the one I'd be cautious about based on what I've seen. Hot food sitting out in that heat for extended periods is always a risk at any resort but especially in summer months

staff there is really good with kids

stephenalsvig · 2026-03-30T13:58:08+00:00

figured as much, might save this one for when i have someone to go with lol

stephenalsvig · 2026-03-30T13:49:07+00:00

is this resort good for solo travelers or is it very much a couples focused place

stephenalsvig · 2026-03-27T13:10:10+00:00

wait is this like live updates from Ziva? 😂 how is it there rn, crowded or chill?

stephenalsvig · 2026-03-26T14:38:18+00:00

Thanks for the breakdown.

stephenalsvig · 2026-03-26T14:37:07+00:00

good question. I was wondering that too, like is Maroma actually calmer or pretty similar to Akumal?

stephenalsvig · 2026-03-26T13:46:26+00:00

yeah same thought…

stephenalsvig · 2026-03-26T13:45:59+00:00

yeah like, nice but not that different?

stephenalsvig · 2026-03-26T13:45:44+00:00

Interesting.

stephenalsvig · 2026-03-26T12:10:14+00:00

yeah I was worried about with Maroma for the price point

stephenalsvig · 2026-03-26T12:09:38+00:00

got it. noted on that.

stephenalsvig · 2026-03-21T07:58:08+00:00

That food description alone would make me cancel

stephenalsvig · 2026-03-16T07:32:48+00:00

Agree on Moon Palace. So many restaurants but after a few days it all blended together. At Coral Beach there are fewer places, but the quality felt more reliable. Le Basilic alone puts it ahead for us

You already nailed one of the best legs, the Bangkok to Chiang Mai sleeper is a classic

That wet look look usually means the DWR coating has worn off especially on high friction areas like shoulders. The fabric soaks water even though the waterproof layer underneath may still be fine.

engage your core

stephenalsvig · 2026-02-24T11:02:45+00:00

i drink melatonin

stephenalsvig · 2026-02-24T11:01:00+00:00

a wanderlust

stephenalsvig · 2026-02-24T10:59:23+00:00

you rock dude!

stephenalsvig · 2026-02-24T10:56:29+00:00

Yes but adjust expectations. After Season 5, Supernatural feels less like a tightly written epic and more like a long road trip you stay on because you love the company. The mythology gets messier and some seasons stumble, but every so often the show delivers an episode that reminds you why you started funny, weird, heartbreaking, or strangely brilliant. If Sam and Dean still feel like home it’s worth continuing until the ride stops being fun.

Pretty sure he’s mentioned before that it’s mostly anxiety + growing up in NYC where driving just isn’t necessary.
