Thinking about using our Explorer package in November since they added on an extra day for free, plus we will use some StarOptions to extend it some more. Anybody been to Lagunamar in November? I know it is the end of Hurricaine season, so there is that to consider. Although we have been there in September/October and is just rained every morning and again in the pm. in addition to being hot. So how is the weather in November?

We went last year at the end of October and the weather was great every single day. November should be ok in 9 years out of 10

We go every year the first week of November that is considered Platinum again. We have fabulous weather! Highly recommend it. It’s not too busy but the weather is gorgeous.

Not related to this thread but i am just curious: say i own platinum floating at Lagunamar and the week in the contract is in November and Vistana changes November to gold. Would my contract stay platinum as it was originally sold or it follows the new season? Does anyone have an old Staroptions chart with the old seasons?

What do you mean they change the week to Gold? Your contract is for the weeks in the season. They can’t change the season/weeks arbitrarily. That’s why we have contracts. You own a season.

I have a reservation for November 3-10 this year (week 44). Next year I’d probably do Week 45. Those are both Platinum and in November.

You said:"We go every year the first week of November that is considered Platinum again" so i assumed that the seasons changed at Lagunamar at one point.

Any time from Jan through July and October through December is generally safe to travel to the Caribbean including Cancun. Hurricane season is August through October, although they advertise hurricane season as a longer period.

I meant that when it switched from being gold back to platinum. Week 43 is Gold. 44 switches to Platinum, that’s when we generally go because that’s what I own, Platinum and we like to go in November. It hasn’t gotten busy yet and hurricane season is officially over.

thank you for clarifying that. I read that in some systems, although extremely rarely, seasons do change sometimes and i thought you were referring to something similar at wlr

We go to Cancun pretty much every year right before Thanksgiving. 2016 was pretty cloudy but little rain, 2017 same deal, 2018 was probably the nicest weather I've ever experienced there - mostly sunny and low 80s all five days. Definitely less crowded but not the ghost town you get in Sept/Oct.
