I’ve never brought pants to a Mexican resort and went to all a la cartes. Maybe I didn’t go high end but all were 4.5 stars at least.

Been to it before! Lots of good spots around the area since its literally across the street from downtown.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Got back saturday night from Puerto Vallarta. Masks were required walking into the restaurants, but very few people with them around the resort or in town. Like all other Covid rules some didnt make sense.. order a drink from the pool, no mask is fine. Walk up to the bar, get that mask on.
Had to have them on thrpoughout the flight and in both airports, but that was expected. Dreamliner was substantially better than previous planes though!!
Back as well from Cancun...and most of the comments re: rules there are correct. Only thing I suggest is you book your Antigen test a day before at your resort cause I did the morning of and line-up was crazy. But as of April 1 won't be needing it anyway so it doesn't matter. I personally came back more stressed rather less so wasn't fun for me considering I worked mostly every day but I guess still nice to have a bit of a change of scenery.
Has anyone paid the Mexican visitor tax? I read about it before we left, seemed pretty hit or miss as to whether or not you would have to provide proof anywhere.

We were asked for 10USD per room at the Resort when checking out. Nothing at the Airport.
I believe this was mentioned in the booking information beforehand as well.

Never heard of the visitor tax unless its added to the hotel bill.

2usd per person per day during check in at the resort. 20$ to visit tulum and a protected sea turtle area for snorkeling. That’s all we had to pay as environmental fees while there.
According to trip advisor it’s not being enforced yet. But that could change at any time. Right now you can politely decline.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Anyone else see how shitty WestJet is with respect to paying extra to have ability to change your flights?
But booked same flights with Delta. Cheaper and no fee to change flights.
Gone are the good deal, it's a Calgary company days.
Westjet went to shit years ago but especially so in the pandemic. We couldn't get WJD or a refund from our Westjet Vacation for over a year and then they'd only give us Westjet dollars that expire. Then when we did try to rebook our vacation you can't do Westjet dollars + vacation online so it was hours of waiting on hold trying to get through just to book. I've lost any care for flying WJ and will happily take Air Canada instead even though AC also sucks.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
WJ just followed the AC business model. Why not? If people still keep buying tickets on the expensive, late airline with no direct flights to anywhere and the worst customer service on earth, why would WestJet bother to be 20x better than AC when they could just be twice as good?
Ok good to know. Not a very frequent phlier and don't live in Aspen so probably late to the game.
WJ is much worse than it used to be, but I think still notably better than AC. Much better than AC for a resident of Calgary due to the benefit of Calgary being the hub.
The issues with refunds being wjd, problems with wjd, vouchers etc are real. I've had some complaints.

thoughts on Cancun side in November?
risky with a chance of hurricane season although didnt seem too bad the past couple of years.

Ive done storm season in Puerto Vallarta (Sept) and it was awesome. Days were hot until about 6pm then it was a torrential downpour for 1-2hrs, then clear skies. (Albiet humid as F)
Holy fuck. I had to wait over 2 hours in Cancun yesterday for some sunwing check in bullshit. Already checked in online, carry on only but couldn't get through security. Had to wait with like 500-600 people to show some gate agent my passport, arrivecan and vaccine passport. Fucking bullshit sunwing
That is the one thing I gotta give Westjet. Entire Cancun airport was packed, every check in counter was fucking mess of lines snaking out the door and then the last bank of check in counters sits Westjet with not a soul in line and 0 wait.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.
