Rare Saint Greg Posted June 21, 2021 Author #301 Share Posted June 21, 2021 I see people going up to the bar here and ordering their own coffees. I’ll need to walk by on my way out and see if I see to go cups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did mention at check in that there’s an additional charge for room service so I don’t know what that would be. I’m definitely a person that likes to just go get it myself. That last day in planet Hollywood waiting an hour and room service didn’t come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well keeping in mind I took on most of that myself. I got in 3.5 before I even got here. A lot was at DFW. Then nobody forced me to walk then entire resort property twice. They do have buses that will drive you around. That said this morning all I did was was from my room to the buffet and from there all the way down to palace and I’m at 1.8 miles already. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Saint Greg Posted June 21, 2021 Author #304 Share Posted June 21, 2021 And you probably figured out I didn’t make the show last night. I think I was totally asleep by 9. Then up like 5:30 or 5:45. Maybe 9 hours of sleep which is a lot for me. 7 is about what I usually do. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Saint Greg Posted June 21, 2021 Author #305 Share Posted June 21, 2021 (edited) But yeah walking to the room is a nightmare. I counted the rooms I passed going to the buffet this morning. It was 63 on one side. They really need a better setup. If you’re in the middle you’re in good shape. Other than that it’s a lot of walking to get to the room. I did walk the exterior last night to see if there’s a closer entrance. And there is but it’s 10 rooms past my room. So I would have to walk 10 rooms in the wrong direction to go down stairs to get outside and just backtrack. I don’t know if it would be any shorter of a walk that way.

Rare Saint Greg Posted June 21, 2021 Author #306 Share Posted June 21, 2021 I liked the service here so much I ordered a Bloody Mary. They even have Tabasco. In ph they didn’t have it and their bloody Marys were a little odd. This is pretty good. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Saint Greg Posted June 21, 2021 Author #308 Share Posted June 21, 2021 But for the view. I don’t think any of these other hotels have a true ocean view because none of them are above the trees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue_water Posted June 21, 2021 #309 Share Posted June 21, 2021 (edited) Most resorts have discontinued room service during the Orange status. Our favorite cenotes are across the street from this mega complex…Many stay there for that reason… Edited June 21, 2021 by blue_water 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Saint Greg Posted June 21, 2021 Author #310 Share Posted June 21, 2021 I’m walking back on the walkway that takes you by all of the lobbies again. Just to see if I see any signs of coffee. on my way out of la hacienda I walked by the bar. Didn’t see any to go cups. And I don’t think that guy was supposed to walk up there and order coffee. It was all waiters and they looked at me funny just walking by it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Saint Greg Posted June 21, 2021 Author #312 Share Posted June 21, 2021 It’s a nice walk. It’s shaded and there’s a lot of scenery. Plants, pools, statues, iguanas. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t vet the coffee portion of this place good enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But of course it could be different here… Edited June 21, 2021 by blue_water 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our favorite to take friends when visiting us is Jardin del Eden. Just less touristy than Cenote Azul and further back from the highway. In March when we stopped tour vans were backed-up at Azul, and we were the only arriving at Eden. We’ve not been to Christalino or Kantun Chi yet but most people we’ve talked to agree that Azul is beautiful, but Eden is also beautiful and much less touristy…No food or amenities right now other than restrooms so bring a small cooler of water and a lunch… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
