For a Spa check out the Gem Spa at Grand Fiesta America. The Spa at WLR isn't much to write home about. I haven't done a massage there. My friend did a manicure there and said it was fine but hotel pricey.

We did most of our shopping at Soriona the last trip, but I wasn't happy with the meat selection. The chicken was OK, but the meats weren't great looking. That's why I wanted to try out Costco. Also like the liquor store across the street on the way to/from Soriona.

Definitely go to Costco for meat. We take the bus to Walmart, walk a few blocks to Costco then a taxi back to Lagunamar. The grocery stores on the strip and the liquor store have everything else you need.
Do we need the Costco membership in Cancun? We use Sam's club only thanks

Yes, I believe you will probably need their membership to get in. However, here in the US I know you can get in without a membership if you have a Costco gift card to use.

First visit to WLR and we love it! We are so impressed. Have a great room in Bldg 9 7th floor. Amazing view. It is windy but beautiful. Staff has been wonderful so far. Had dinner at Fish Fritanga and enjoyed it. So glad I took Tuggers advice to come here. Closer and cheaper than Maui - although we will be there in June! Thanks everyone!

I vote we remove this thread!

There is way to many positive posts!

The more it gets bragged about the more popular it will become. Then we will have a harder time getting weeks there!!

Who's with me!

Yeah, we need to have this whole thread deleted and a new one started talking about how the place is just a dump.

How about a private forum for the positive TS reviews?

Lagunamar is one of the worst places we have ever visited. People should avoid at all costs. Pools are small, rooms are tired, and the beach is ugly.

I think we've always used our membership card at Costco to get in. I don't know which credit cards they take now with Canada switching to MasterCard and the US to VISA.

Some information here. Looks like as of 2014 they accept all different credit cards, but they have a 4% surcharge if you use one.

We really didn't enjoy our buffet style meal at Oceano. We might try it again when the kids are grown but it's no fun with young kids. You end up constantly sending one adult to fetch food for the entire family of four. Also, the patio furniture is really lightweight and unstable; just the slightest disturbance on one end of the table can easily upset a wine glass on the other.

No no. You need to listen to us, the oh wise ones. You must cancel. Lagunamar isn't worth the trip.

If they would just read all the posts!!! There is one on here about all the chair hogging going on! Another post stating the pools are all going to be closed or at least the ones that are worth being at!
I won't even get started on the thread with all the high pressure sales people.

It was good while it lasted but we need people to try other less popular places to find our next new best place to visit!
