Thanks for the visual!

We will have the driver take us there, before we check-in. We have a 3 or 3:30 arrival time at the Cancun airport. It will make it easy to swing by prior to checking in at the resort.

It's easy to get to by bus, but it's best to take a cab back. If you planned on the bus back you would have a hard time finding out where to go because the drop-off and the return are in two entirely different places because this place is in the middle of a divided highway.

The other thread is sooooooo long, and I have read something like 12 or 13 pages and decided to just post my questions outside the mega thread. I hope someone will respond. :)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




(1)TONS of restaurants across the street in the Mall. Walk all the way to the end of the marina you will find them.
(2) Right in front on the mall on the right side Cambalache Argentina restaurant ( beautiful place)
(3) Get the bus back and forth on the tourist cancun zone . You will find more restaurants, bars etc (The public bus is safe $50 cents I think it was ) We went to the supermarket and restaurants by public bus. At first was weird and we were a little bit scare but after one ride we just love it.

Have fun!

We took the bus to Selecto supermarket ($.50cents) no more than 10 minutes ride. They have anything you want and /or Need.

We take the bus and get off at the Hard Rock Cafe, sit on the beach patio, order dessert, enjoy the scenery and the music. Then we walk over to Selecto Chedraui for some groceries and then catch the bus back.


Although, the last time we liked Chili's dessert even more, or at least my wife did as she is a chocolate connoisseur, lol.

We also go to Soriana for things as well.

We haven't been to Lagunamar since 2010 before the new section was done. But have been a couple times since then at other II exchanges So we are Anxious to head back this June.
We have always used either USA transfers or Cancun Transfers. Both have always been extremely easy to work with
Not planning on doing much of anything and certainly wont be cooking too much this year. (Last years vacation consisted of a destination wedding and then vacation with brother and family and I cooked every day) So Ill probably use the delivery service for groceries. lol
Lots of drinks by the pool is what I'm planning. :thumbup:

Canada Transfers is also very good, at least comparable with USA Transfers.

Is the happy hour 2 for 1 or just a reduced price?

Can't speak for this one (going in December) but I've never seen a Mexican happy hour which is not 2 for 1, we've been down here for four weeks now and sampled lots of happy hours.

The happy hour I remember last month was reduced prices. My wife to a break so I was the only one drinking and I got reduced prices, not 2 for 1.

I think it was half price drinks. Thus, almost the same as 2 for 1 depending on what you get. Drinks were different priced depending on what you get.

We got 2-for-1 a month ago...at both the pool bar and Dunas. The choices were limited, though.

It was half price on Margaritas and a small selection of beer. They have a menu.

Is there an online grocery delivery service, where you can just order what you want and have it delivered to your villa?

I understand that Soriana will deliver. I saw many full bags of groceries waiting to go out when last there. But the walk there and back is not bad...about 12 minutes portal to portal for this 82-year old. If you use a backpack as your carry-on or have a wheelie, you can easily load up and trundle things back to your unit.

I agree completely if one is buying only a couple of items.

But if you add bottled water (the coffee tastes better with it), beer, and more than a few items, the delivery service becomes very convenient.

I mentioned earlier that I was charged 30 pesos for delivery, about$1.75. They meet you down at the PB level in the Lobby elevator. They can not deliver to your room. Tip the delivery person please. A bellman can help if necessary. Very convenient.

Definitely pesos. You don’t get as as much value using USD.
