Oh wow they still do this? I got this back in 2014 and jumped on it. Was gorgeous and loved every second of it, but it was very new then and there was barely anyone there, so could do whatever/whenever.
- they’ll push timeshare on you (that’s why you get this rate). Just say no and they’ll be mad but stop bothering you
- excursions are all 100+
- go from May - October to see turtles laying eggs / hatching on their beach.

Thanks! Yup I guess they are still doing it. They are doing some Reno’s to the property and will be done in April. I booked for June. Any excursions that I should check out? Good places to eat nearby?

I am not sure. The hotel emailed me. I have had spg platinum for 2 Years now and I have not been to Mexico. Not sure if that helps.

No, I but I did one in Hawaii similar promo on Kauai, it was awesome. Just skip their time share sales bs

Timeshare is annoying, hotel is solid but not the same level as other Spg properties because it’s an owners only resort. Great location, across from the mall. You have to do XPLOR Park when there, just incredible.

What's the deal?
