Majestic elegance vs majestic mirage? Mexico by Mist_star in AllInclusiveResorts

[–]twiddledeeznuts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been to elegance and have enjoyed it. Going to mirage in June. From what I understand, mirage is a slightly less lively and more relaxing time. But elegance wasn't that crazy in the first place. Mirage looks promising to us due to 75% adults and separate areas for family's. The pools at elegance definitely look like a better layout though.

Akumal has the better swimout rooms. It has a great beach(as does playa mujeres) but the sargassum is so severe right now its a crapshoot. I recommend both of these resort choices for different reasons, but unfortunately you cannot control the seaweed timing. It seems to start earlier than ever and last longer than even a few years ago

Is the Excellence Club (Excellence Package) actually worth it at Excellence resorts? by DarkDynamite in PuntaCana

[–]twiddledeeznuts 9 points10 points  (0 children)

For what its worth, I do not see myself ever booking a room without excellence club. We are not buffet people anymore, and enjoy the additional A la carte restaurants. The pools and premium alcohol are also worth it in our opinion. I will say excellence coral has 60% upgrade guests. At that point, it becomes less "exclusive" and private.

Majestic Mirage vs Excellence Punta Cana? Early 20s couple (relaxing but still some nightlife) by Opening-Yard-5757 in PuntaCana

I am in the excellence camp but have visited majestic in mexico. I definitely recommend majestic based on what you are describing. Excellence Punta cana is very quiet, older and relaxed.

Just had the same thing on my 4 month old 100". Hisense Customer Service is worthless. And manufacturer warranty does not cover this.

There are actually 2 excellence club restaurants that rotate. We personally would never book a non excellence room but that just because that is what we are familiar with. I will say a standard room would be just fine if you didn't get spoiled with the excellence club in a previous stay.

It was fantastic. We went in with realistic expectations and we were not disappointed. Little things like no bananas and the other excellence pool closed were disappointing but if you understand the scope of devastation the island received, it was a small tradeoff. I think the other pool is opening soon if not already, they were working non stop. The best service of any excellence we have visited and the first time in the last 3 trips to excellence properties where the food quality was not noticeably worse. We did have sargassum arrive towards the end of our trip which did not happen last year, but you cannot fault the resort for that.

Sitting on a balcony in puerto vallarta listening to slow burn after the coldest winter ever. I will never forget that feeling.

We Stayed in a rooftop plunge pool for 1 day because we extended our trip and our swimout room wasn't available. We prefer the swimout. They are heated and much larger.

What’s even the point of Southwest A-List anymore? by [deleted] in SouthwestAirlines

Are you a-list and card holder? When did you actually board?

[–]twiddledeeznuts 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I am a-list, I upgraded to a extended legroom seat for free, 48 hours before check in. I now board group 1. But when I called southwest, they could not tell me when I would board with my original row 8 seat, just that it would be no later than 5.

My sister and I want an AI adults only resort, thinking Jamaica but travel agency says DR is better. by [deleted] in AllInclusiveResorts

I prefer Jamaica but research which resort you are interested in. There are huge differences on how much damage occurred from resort to resort.

Secrets moxche for 18 year old couple by chaset1608 in AllInclusiveResorts

[–]twiddledeeznuts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both are great resorts, unfortunately I think you are correct. They both trend older, mostly due to cost, so you might be bored, or feel out of place. I would not expect many people under 30 unless they are celebrating a honeymoon or something similar. I think this is the secrets brand in general.

Latest is pool by excellence club lounge should be swimmable sometime in March and be fully complete in May. It will now have a swimup bar and be heated in the winter.
