Well, we finally got a chance to catch our breath after an amazing and fun-filled week at the RM.
This was our second trip, and the first since the major renovations took place. It had been about five years. We've been to the Pearl, and to the now-gone Cabo desire many times.
We arrived to a wonderful RM front desk staff, and we received no hard sell--not a word. We requested a specific room in a specific area (we had stayed there before and loved the quietness) and the staff hooked us up within moments.
The room was immaculate, no odd smells, small, but just right. The a/c worked excellent; our housekeeper did a great job. We do have one caveat, we'll allude below...
The grounds are immaculate--gorgeous, although the sewage smell is rough at times, especially at night. We have heard that they fertilize with sewage effluent, aren't sure about that, but it smells like it is the case. It can be pungent.
The pool was immaculate, warm. The hot tub was excellent as well.
The food at all restaurants was top shelf...SUKI is wonderful. We couldn't find one complaint all week, absolutely stellar.
The bars and bar staff were top shelf. The 2am pizza lady rocks. Tip her well, she earns it!
The entertainment staff are doing a great job (!) Ana seems a bit shy at times, but we saw her slowly coming our of that shell all week, Chewy (Jesus) is great, Cuco as well.
The disco was excellent, comfortably cool, great music/DJ....not one moldy oldie Madonna or Cyndi Lauper song. GREAT dance music Kudos! The live shows were excellent as well.
Wait staff was 100% excellent, zero complaints. They waited on us hand and foot. We always tipped. We were surprised to see many people walk away from the meals without tipping, to each his own. We relish giving to such gracious staff.
The beach was seaweed-filled, we weren't too concerned. Not much to be done but keep raking, the stuff is thick.
Bugs were rough, many had bites including us....bring bug spray if you are really affected. We still would rather the bites than the fogger. Thankfully they didn't use a fogger. They have in the past.
Pool beds/chairs were readily available. Plenty of shade for us who ease into the sun.
Activities were great. Plenty of pool volleyballers...great times. The foam party rocked as well. We had some rain, but that didn't seem to affect any of us. Great times were had by all.
Wife's glasses (perscritpion) did come up missing in our room. They never left our room. Very strange. We reason that maybe they got into the bedding somehow and taken out. Our housekeeper seemed genuinely upset they were gone. We don't think that she took them.
We did have about $100 CASH TAKEN FROM OUR SAFE. VERY DISAPPOINTING. We had lots of singles, five and tens for tips throughout the week, and on the last night about $100 of fives and tens were taken. We are absolutely certain of this. It was the only downer on an otherwise magical trip.
The guests were all amazing...there were lots of sexy people. Best crowd we have ever seen without question.
The resort is about as good as it be, we can't imagine it any better other than our safe incident.
