Royal Haciendas questions

If Royal is now affiliated with RCI and I deposit Marriott week into II, seems to me that probabliity will be quite low to be able to secure a Royal week. And I don't believe I can deposit my Canyon Villa week w RCI.

Marriott does not trade in RCI. Right now there are tons of RH weeks available in interval. I checked from August, 2013 until August, 2014. If you know when you want to go, start lookin in II.

I am looking to swap units . We currently own A side EOY odd, they tried to upslope us to annual usage A side . I asked about upgrading to till villa EOY as well. Really at this point all I want to do is swap locations. Don't much care if it is odd or even years but not ready for annual commitment. Was told that MINIMUM AUPGRADE/swap fee is 8k. Does not compute, think we will stay put!
 
I see the Mexican buffet here at the RH is priced at 302 pesos today. By today's conversion = $25 USD+. Tip not included.

We just enjoyed a Mexican feast of our own in our villa. I cant even tell you how delicious this was!! Fresh shrimp and calamari with garlic & pasta, fresh salad, and drinks. Cost? Hmm... Not certain, but a couple of bucks for sure. ;)

Yesterday, we (2 people) had outstanding tacos el Pastor for dinner, in Playa. With cervezas and one Cazadores reposado tequila - total cost, $17, with the tip.

No, I'm not a cheapskate. We enjoy splurging from time to time. We just don't like being taken advantage of.

Easy to pick out the, eh hem, others. They're wearing pink paper bracelets. :p

tacos al pastor is my absolute favorite! Keep it authentic, only cilantro and onions! Have a great trip and have a drink for all of us stuck in the cold. Cheers!

Have a great trip, and dont forget just last year or so you were almost a close minded old fool and said you would no longer travel to mexico! Glad you came to your senses, have a drink for all of us stuck in the cold. Cheers!

Trust me, this place knows how to make them! With a waiting line... Very few gringos there.

Nope, not giving it away either. Interested folks will have to do the same thing we did. Discover. ;)

Phydeaux,

Is that Mexican Buffet including show and drinks? If so, I think the $25+ is well worth it. If just the dinner, no, but with show, yes.
 
Price is buffet only although there is live singer. I think they do good biz on change over day. We went our first night last week for convenience sake. Last night all the outdoor restaurants on Fifth Ave were empty as it was COOL. Ended up at La Bodeguata Del Medio a high has nice indoor seating, good food and reasonable prices.
Does anyone have take on my previous post????

We had a Mexican 'show' during our 200 peso dinner. A very talented street musician that received a lot of applause and tips from everyone there.

So not like the Mexican Night at The Royal Mayan. There, the hour or longer high energy show with 6-8 dancers and the buffet including drinks are very well worth the ~$25 :)

We've already seen the Mexican folkloric show at the RM, before it was priced at $25/head. My wife and I much preferred the authentic, inexpensive meal with the street musician. But, to each their own, of course.
