Thanks for the great video Nicole...just two questions -1) how was the tipping policy at riu mazatlan - once at the end or every now and then......2) did you avail the hotel transfer service from the airport or was it a taxi

Some resorts place folded towels on the chairs for guests so that you know they AREN'T reserved. I don't know about this resort but when we visited Excellence as well as Ocean Coral and Turquesa, they placed fresh towels (folded) on the available chairs and when you take them, the staff unfolds the towel and places it laid out on the chair to show it's taken. Just throwing that out there though, I have no idea how this resort works with their chairs, though.

Hi, thx for the info Nicole!!! Quick question, i was told the « chillout lounge » costed money...since you went do you think it is worth the exrta cash?
@nicolefisher17234 жыл бұрын
Honestly - YES! We didn't find out about this until the second last day, but when we went, if you had dinner in the lounge (approx $30 USD each I think?), you would get a free pass to the lounge for the rest of your stay. It was a much nicer and less busy area then than the rest of the beach. I think the people we met said they spent about $100 USD on a really special dinner and then they had nice beachfront chairs that they didn't have to slog through half a mile of sand to get to. It seems counter-intuitive to pay for dinner after paying for an all inclusive, but I would do it. We had breakfast there (free from a horrible sales pitch that I do not recommend), and the breakfast was really remarkable! Have a fun visit!!

You said two of the restaurants you had to pay? Hmmmm, thought it was.ALL inclusive? Which ones were they? Also, we don’t drink beer but do drink hard alcohol,....that’s all served there too right. Lol. One more thing, the rules of dress codes for the eating had men having to wear long pants and shirts with sleeves. REALLY? I can’t wear khaki shorts with a comfortable T shirt? Does it have to be a long sleeve shirt for men? Oh,....one more question. Is the water crystal clear like we have down here in south Florida? Don’t wanna go there if not. I’m use to crystal clear! Thanks
@nicoledevon87485 жыл бұрын
J V I forget the names of the ones you have to pay at, but they make it very clear and it’s just for the food - drinks were still free I think. My water wasn’t very clear...it was pretty margarita coloured but from what I can remember the bottled water should be up to your crystally-Florida standards ;-) We pushed the limits on the dress code and they were never strict about it. If you like decent, that was enough for us - and maybe wearing better shoes than flip flops. Have fun!

You can't really say the platinum is not worth it. Depends on how you travel. If you enjoy waiter service at the pool and at the beach, and easy booking of the spa and restaurants the platinum is where you want to be. Deluxe accommodations are crowded, and the bar is packed. I have been many times and enjoy the perks of platinum.

Artie Wagoner I’m glad you had a good time. We are just basing our comments on the experiences other people had told us and the general consensus was that it wasn’t worth the money...different experiences for different folks though.

hi! just came across this video and I'm going to this resort in February, my son will be 9 months by then. I have been to this resort before without a child, but haven't travelled much with him yet! My main question/concern is how to manage the beach with a baby in a stroller since you can't really drive a stroller on the beach ! did you guys ditch the stroller when you went to the beach, or just carry it over to where you were sitting? Also was wondering if you could tell me what kind of stroller you used on this trip and if you'd recommend it. Thank you!
@nicoledevon87485 жыл бұрын
Allison R-D hi Allison! You’re going to have such a great time, our son was the perfect age when we took him around the same time. At the beach we just carried the stroller and it wasn’t a big deal. Everything is pretty far away so one thing I recommend with your stroller is that you get good shade coverage. We had the Summer Lite which seemed very popular at the resort but we should have brought our Britax B Agile which has a lot more shade coverage.
