Cutting through buildings will save some steps too, depending on where you're headed. There are plenty of hacks for this resort but it takes multiple visits and conversations with veterans of the resort to get it all ironed out and become more efficient. It really is a big, beautiful resort though, so you don't always realize just how far you've walked until after you've arrived at your destination. Want a long walk, stroll out to the front gate and back early in the morning while it's still cool. Oh, and fortunately, smoking is now relegated to just a few small areas off the paths and not in any buildings. Last time we were there (summer 2023) I didn't see a single smoker in 10 days!

Really great tour Nick! Appreciate the tip of building #2 being close to the restaurants. Wondering how easy it is to upgrade the room at check-in? Keep doing these videos, you're excellent at it !

Thank you Perveen, that's very nice of you to say! I've been concerned that my attitude was a bit condescending in the commentary. Right before our trip in April, I went on the website, pretending that I was needing to book a room. I simply wanted to check availability for the same time we were already booked, and there was virtually nothing. When we checked in at the resort, nobody offered to upgrade us, even though I was ready to consider it. So I guess my answer to you is that it probably depends on availability. Maybe your chances are better if you stay fewer days? We did 8 days. Ultimately, it didn't matter since we had an amazing time. Our room was really nice, and it was the second cheapest in the resort. Let me know if you have any more questions!

@@nicktoenjes3657 Just returned from our trip! We stayed in building #3. It was perfect. Everything was just as you said in the video. I didn't get to beach yoga but did manage a pilates class outside the gym. The instructor was great! Food was amazing. We asked, but there was no availability for upgrade. The room was still really good, especially the bathroom:)

The golden pool is included in this video. Anyone is allowed in the Silver pool, but there usually aren’t very many people there because it’s pretty boring.

I did fill out something from a link that was sent to me. I think it was some sort of customs form that I was able to print out ahead of time and present at the airport in Cancun. It seemed to expedite things a bit. You will probably get a similar notification with a link.

so you can't get food at the food truck, you must be seated in its open seating area.
@nicktoenjes3657

I’m not completely positive if you are required to be seated in the dining area, but I am sure that you cannot order food directly from the food truck. A server will take your order and bring the food to you.

Hey Nick! We are going this resort in August 2024. I had a question about tips. Im from Las Vegas,NV where we tip very nice for dang near everything. My question is: are you tipping during dinner and meals ? If so how much would you say is appropriate. Being an all inclusive resort I know we dont get a receipt of items we order and I cant tip 18%-25%. Thanks in advance!
@nicktoenjes3657

Hey, I’m envious that you get to go this summer! I did indeed tip at every meal, and simply guessed at what I thought was a reasonable amount. Remember your bartenders as well, which can be more challenging when you’re at the swim up bar.
