Nice to see the Cirque influence! The Chavis family has utilized the best of the best! There are Gary Goddard ‘Big Idea’ Design elements! Disney’s concept of their skyway ride and the Ferris Wheel from California Adventure. The Dante company does amazing landscaping! VIDANTA had the resources to travel globally throughout the World of Themed Entertainment and they have resourced the best of park designers. I look forward to experiencing this environment!

I have been to this market. You really have to be aware that you can bargain with the people that show you the merchandise (bargaining is part of the culture). They will ask for way more than they will accept. Look at reviews and many ratings for this place on TripAdvisor if you really want an idea of how things work at this store according to the customers. I liked the place, you feel obligated to tip the fellow for showing you around (since they say they don’t get paid) but for the knowledge I was ok with it. Really nice stuff but never pay full price because you can find good prices all around Merida and bargain with other shop keepers as well. Know what the money is worth in México compared to your home country. Do not use a credit card,..referring to TripAdvisor experiences of customers that I cannot validate. Some stores do not have pricing on sale items so if you don’t like bargaining find stores with pricing on items. If you like something in particular ask about the prices in different locations to get a rough idea of what’s a deal and what’s just crazy.

We are heading to Nuevo Vallarta - I saw you stayed in Grand Mayan. We are trying to determine grand mayan or grand luxxe - how did you feel about the pool, bar and restaurant access? Did you feel limited? Did you wish you were able to access other parts of the resort not included in Grand Mayan?
@mtchllknxАй бұрын
Grand Mayan is much more of a family-friendly vibe, and felt much closer to most things, while Luxxe felt more romantic and definitely a level up. Not sure what kind of vibe you're looking for. And an FYI- the best Luxxe buildings are reserved for very high-level members, so unless you're well connected, I'd expect riding a shuttle to most things, especially the beach.
@kaylamaurer7014Ай бұрын
It is a couples trip, but we want to be sure the pool and bar access is worth while on the upgrade. Or if we should opt to stay at grand Mayan for less and still get an enjoyable experience. Obviously a huge difference in room, but we didn’t want to regret an enjoyable experience with more limited pool and bar access
@mtchllknxАй бұрын
@@kaylamaurer7014 if you have the means, Luxxe may be better for your couples trip. The pools are much more chill, and if you just keep in mind that you'll probably be shuttling places, you'll be good.

I recently saw in someone's video that they are working hard at constructing a Grand LUXXE level and Estates level in East Cape, a property next to the one they already own. I hope to visit soon to see for myself what is going on and how the new addition is going. Vidanta is always on the move, creating something bigger and better for its VIP members.

When we were there in April, the price was $900 pesos for entrance. Might be increasing as more of the park opens. And at this point, I would guess that they are open more than just Tuesdays from 5-10pm, but could be wrong. It was a slow opening for safety and employment reasons, so hopefully everything is still progressing smoothly .

We did the presentation, but that is not the reason we got ocean view, at least not that I'm aware of. There can definitely be pressure in the presentations, but if you go in with the right mindset, and aren't afraid of saying no, the rewards can definitely be worth it. Ask them what you'll get in return for attending the presentation. We once got $350 + the free breakfast buffet + the privilege card with deals all over the resort.

Sorry you didn't get to experience BON! You are correct that you cannot ride the gondola unless you have park tickets or have gondola access included in your booking (usually with Luxxe). You can purchase passes, though, if that is something you'd like to experience on your next trip! And for safety reasons, while under construction, they only had the park open on Tuesdays when we visited. So, we waited until Tuesday. It was not a big deal. It was projected to be open earlier but construction timelines are often extended. Vidanta has paid me nothing for posting this video. If they want to, though, I'd be happy to discuss 😁
