8/1-8/9, 2020 Review

Postby Txcouple1723 » Fri Aug 21, 2020 10:55 am

My wife and I travelled to DRM 8/1-8/9 of this year. We both told understood the risk of traveling during this time of year and decided to go anyway. We had a blast! We caught up with many friends from previous visits (this was our 5th) and met some new friends too. The crowd was a bit smaller but, far from dead. The two areas where I felt the experience was lacking a bit was the disco, where it was a bit emptier than usual and room service, which could take as long as an hour and a half. In regards to social distancing, there wasn't any :). I think we may have seen 1 guest with a mask. The staff were all masked and we had to fill out a questionnaire and get our temperature taken before entering the resort. I was really hesitant to write this review because in the end, we both ended up catching COVID. We felt that sharing that would deter folks that wanted to get away and have a good time. If we could do it all over again we wouldn't change a thing!

Hope this helps.

Do you feel you contracted it at the resort/travel or even before you left?

I know it's hard to pin point but just asking the question

Did any of your friends you meet up with come up with it also?

I thought we would catch you and jojo. Sucks that we missed you. Maybe next year. And both of us have fully recovered. Life is good :)

Very hard to pinpoint so I will refrain from speculating... Yes a few of my friends got it too.
