We are going for 2 weeks after Thanksgiving.
Does Roku work at Lagunamar?
Are they doing a mid week tidy?
Is the exercise room open?
Buildings with afternoon shade on balcony after 4pm?

Thanks
David

Some ROKU channels do not have license agreements to stream into Mexico, have to try it and see. Some work, some don't. They get broadcast channels out of Miami as well as their local stuff. You get this weird mix of American TV in English, American TV with Spanish voice-over, Mexican TV, you name it.
Mid-week tidy is very minimal - towels, some kitchen and bath accessories, not all you'd like. I find myself taking dish washer tabs from the carts in the hall because they don't give us enough.
I believe the exercise room is open, even if not all machines are available for distancing
By this time of year most, if not all rooms have shade after 4PM because the sun sets behind the resort so early. Most of the whole pool deck is in shade by then.

My biggest concern is the restaurants not being open, especially Oceano. I love the events they have there, like Mexican Fiesta night, Mayan night, steak night, not to mention the wonderful breakfast buffet. I hope you will update us on what is open and what is not.

I can't wait to get back there, but I will wait until the things I want to do are open and the resort is fully operational, not just "OPEN for business"

Was there a few weeks ago on a Getaway, no midweek tidy. Exercise room was open but capacity limited.

All of the villas should have afternoon shade on the balcony.

We always take our Roku. Mostly we listen to music on YouTube and watch shows on Netflix. As far as I know, Netflix is the only service you can access. This is because you can access the Mexican Netflix with your USA login. There is a lot of programming in English. Beware though, you may start watching a series down there that isn't available at home. Lol.

Were hot tubs open. It always surprises me that gyms are open when hot tubs are closed.

Hot tubs were open. They said at check in there was a limit of 4 people per hot tub, but they don't really have any sort of enforcement.
I'm back for another week now so I can answer any more questions that come up.

I came in this morning on a redeye around 530am, so it was just the 50 of us. I was up front so the first one out (in fact I thought customs was closed because there was nobody asking for the form, but they were just in the office I guess surprised to see someone so early).

A couple of weeks back, I came in around 1130 on a Saturday, definitely people but immigration moved quickly. On the way back out the following Saturday, it seemed relatively crowded (or at least definitely not dead) but security was very quick. There are quite a few food places in the terminal closed, so options are limited. The club was also closed.

What’s the status of restaurants and fun activities?
At the Lagunamar I think the one restaurant by the pool is open, and they also mentioned a sports bar being open. I went across the street to the mall tonight and most was open there.
As far as fun activities, well, the pools are open :). Anything specific you're looking for?

I'll take a look at fun team tomorrow, last time I think they only have like 2 activities, and I did see them doing trivia. Hot tubs are open. Will check the spa.

Thank you for all your info! If Hawaii goes back on lockdown this winter we will try to switch to Lagunamar,.

Lagunamar is one of our favorite resorts (when it's fully open)!

Been here for a week now. Today they put limits on pool chairs because the last few days a group of 35 took over and were way to close. Much better today. Only pool open was the main pool. Oceano closed. No mid week but I'm staying over a week so at the 7th day received a full service. Call for soap towels etc. Leave trash in hallways. Excellent resort and staff trying hard.

I'm waiting for Oceano to open and host the Mexican Fiesta buffet! With the Mariachi band.
