We just returned from wonderful 5 night trip at Pearl
Observations: We would estimate that the resort was 40% full during the week and 70% on weekend. The resort was very clean. The staff was amazing from the cleaning people to the chefs. They are trying very hard to make sure your vacation is a pleasant experience. The food is plentiful and should satisfy the majority of the guest. We find that breakfast and lunch are very good and Dinner is very nice but nothing special.
We are ocean people and lay in there beds everyday. The ocean was very nice and the sargassum was there but a young man raked every morning to keep it off the beach
The few time we go to the pool there chairs were mostly filled and the crowd seemed very happy chatting away . ( Music is just too much for us ).
The massage people kept hawking the beach asking for you to take a massage.
If you take a short walk to Puerto Morelos you can get a massage for $40.00.
The Jacuzzi was warm and very inviting. A little bit of playing in the beds. The drinks were flowing and it was a great way to end the day and mingle.
night show were very good and a lot of fun.
There were plenty of opportunity to mingle and play with the others.
Not sure we like the bracelet color system, but I'm sure they have their reasons.
All in all a great trip
Here is how we approached pearl this time. We took a later flight out on NYC ( plane was empty ) Spent the night at a airport hotel. Hotel was super clean and the food was good. In the morning we took a cab to pearl. We arrived well rested and enjoyed the first day.
