We have exchanged from Vistana into this resOrr and it will be our first visit, this March.

i understand a unit in building 1 on a high floor is a good request, but unsure how and when to make the request.

Also, has anyone any suggestions for day trips, whether to rent a car, etc?

If this is a Staroption reservation, you should log into your account, and place your special request ASAP:

- Log into your Vistana Account: http://villafinder.vistana.com
- Find the confirmation
- Click: VIEW DETAILS
- Click: Special Requests, enter your request, and send.

Don't worry if you get an error message in response, your special request went through, and the error message is a glitch that has been sending that message for months.

DO NOT rent a car.
DO talk to the concierge desk about day trips.

We were there a couple of years ago March, and really enjoyed our time. I didn't make a unit request, and got our best assignment ever! We got Bldg 14, top floor (6) facing north. Great view of beach and water. We didn't mind longer walk out to street, and the pool area on that side was fine.

We took day long bus tour to Chichen Itza, reserved thru concierge. And on our own took ferry out to Isla Mujeres and rented golf carts to go around the island.

We love Lagunamar! Building 14 is also our favorite and happens to be the background on my phone. We love the quiet pool side with the swim up bar. We will be there in October this year and next year. You are going to love it. Cancun is our favorite destination out of all the Vistana resorts!
