Yes! Great shows and live music throughout there resort. Sometimes they’ve had two live music performances going on at the same time.

You’ll love it!! Enjoy your trip and safe travels!! Thanks for tuning into our channel! ☺️🏝🍹

How was the weather in January? I'm planning on going in January 2024

@@SaL-ep7zb it was nice not overly hot. Ocean was chilly. There was a breeze but sunny every day.

Thanks for the feedback!! Hope you found the video helpful!

Thanks for tuning in! ☺️

Hi! There are 4 total pools. The main pool has two swim up bars, there is a 2nd pool on the opposite end of the resort that also has a swim up bar. A 3rd pool which is near the beach and is Inspira (club) guests only, and a 4th pool (roof top infinity pool) which is also Inspira guests only. All are GREAT pools!

Hi! Thanks for tuning into our channel! No, we didn’t experience any seaweed, it can happen though. This area of Cancun typically doesn’t get it as bad as south of Cancun can. We have been to Sandals Grand St Lucian (we have a vlog of that resort on our channel here too ☺️). Both are great resorts, completely different destinations. It’ll depend on what you’re looking for in your trip and your travel style to decide which would be best for you. Both are fantastic options! Feel free to email Janet and she can help you decide which one would be best for you based on your travel style. Janet@penyaktravel.com

Hi, we would give the edge to Atelier over Excellence, the food is a step up at Atelier.

Hi TravelMan! We dont think so, they have a variety of activities at the resort throughout the day. Depending on what time of year you go, you could go swim with the Whale Sharks, that's a very rare experience.

Hey man, in the same boat. Did you end up going with the upgrade?

Hi!! The main pools are heated (they feel great in the winter), we are not sure if the private swim out pools are heated or not.

Hi Stephanie, yes they do. Thanks for tuning into our channel!!

Hi Janelle! Both are very highly rated for us! Very comparable resorts. The beach at Zilara is slightly better (bigger and wider), but it’s close! The food is very very close as well. Thanks for tuning into our channel and thanks for reaching out to us! Janet has a call with you tomorrow to discuss ☺️

Hi! That is a great question and I honestly am not sure. I would call the front desk and ask. I would think they probably wouldn’t mind that at all, but I’m sure there’s a policy on it one way or the other. Thanks for tuning into the channel!

Hi! Thanks for tuning into the channel! Yes, I’m pretty sure it’s a daily event 🍷☺️🏝

That’s a tough decision, if you like a good beach you’ll want to go here. Curacao has a decent beach but it’s off the big water, it’s on more of an inlet to the ocean. Seaweed can happen at random and hard to time. It wasn’t a huge issue when we were there. Both resorts are great though!

Hey Thomas! Yes they do, the resort has a tour desk or your travel agent can arrange your excursions before hand as well. Thanks for tuning into the channel and if we can help in any way let us know! Janet@PenyakTravel.com ☺

Hi Jeff! Most major resorts have an onsite filtration systems, but it would come down to what you're comfortable with at that point. Hope this helps!! Thanks for tuning into our channel!!

Hi!! Enjoy your trip!! Unfortunately the whales are not there in November, they are seasonal to the summer months and migrate in the fall/winter months. The tour operator we used Discovery Mexico and you can book it in advance.

Atelier over Excellence all day! It’s more modern and the food is way better. Thanks for tuning in to the channel! If we can help you with your vacation plans please email us at janet@penyaktravel.com.

Thanks 🙏, now I am debating Zilari Cap Cana or Atelier. Is it worth the Inpira upgrade?

@@jackchang3538 we think so, the pool is really really nice! A nice change of pace from the main pool.

Hi! No, tipping is not included, we typically did a $1 or two per round of drinks, and $5-10 for dinner service. Hope this helps!

@Penyak Travel Company Yes, it does, thank you!

Hi! We actually tried that when we were there, and we could not get it to work. If you really want to utilize the TV that way I would bring an HDMI iPhone connector.

Hey Sal! Yes, all restaurants and bars offer a few reds and a few whites that are included (as a wino myself I can say it was good quality ☺️) They also have a large wine list should you want to upgrade to a different bottle at dinner, which we did at the steakhouse on this trip. Hope this helps and thanks for subscribing to our channel!!

@@PenyakTravel Appreciate your input! Thank you! :)

@@SaL-ep7zb No problem at all! ☺️

Hi! Thanks for tuning into our video! There are 9 dining options, 6 of which are sit down restaurants. We reserved tables on arrival. Hope this helps!

Hi! Thanks for tuning into the channel! Yes, you’ll want to bring cash to tip for service (bar tenders, severs, etc.). There are resorts like Sandals, that have a no tipping policy, however the majority of all-inclusives it is accepted and expected.

@@PenyakTravel that’s great. Thank you so much!

Hi! Any room category labeled “inspira”

Hi Christine! Thanks for subscribing to the channel! Both are great options, but if you're looking for a more upbeat nightlife, Atelier may be the better option, they have a nice night club that is open late into the AM hours and is pretty upbeat! We'd be happy to quote some options if you'd like, feel free to send us your dates and departing airports here: penyaktravel.com/contact/

Hey Kate! Thanks for tuning into our channel! Beloved is a completely different vibe, very small resort, very quiet and low key. This resort is much larger a tad more upbeat with plenty of options for quiet and relaxing. Hope this helps!

Hey Adam! Thanks for checking out our channel! The golf is not included but can be arranged on property. I wish I had played, it looked like a really really nice course!! Green fees are around $250.

Hi! Thanks for subscribing! It’s booked outside the resort (the resort desk may have one) but we did ours though Ocean Tours Mexico. Hope this is helpful! ☺️

@@PenyakTravel Would we just go through that company if we’re interested or are other options? I definitely want to do this.

@@InhalationAerosol yes or there are several companies that do it in the area.

Hi Olga, you probably saw us tipping our servers and bar tenders. Tips our encouraged for good service for the staff. You don’t pay for any drinks or food here, unless you upgrade to a nicer bottle of wine at dinner. Hope this helps!

which currency do you use for tips? and how much tipping is a decent amount? Thanks for the informative video!

@@sohaibahmad5222you can tip in american dollars. tip what you can afford, a dollar per drink is fine to the bartenders. if there is pool/beach service where the servers are walking far, maybe 2 per drink. They will appreciate any tip. Dinner waiters you can tip more, $10 or whatever you want. Tip housekeeping $5-$10 per time they clean your room. You can also tip the people who re stock the mini fridge in your room. Just bring a ton of singles and some 5s and 10s, you’ll be good :)

Hey!! We never made it up too late but have had friends that have, definitely 2AM or even later. We’re not sure when they actually close, probably when the crowds thin out if we had to guess. Thanks for tuning into our channel! ☺️

We own a travel agency so we book ourselves!
