    What shoes do you recommend packing for a 5 days in july trip there?

    • @harrisfamilyadventures__
      @harrisfamilyadventures__ Před 7 dny

      Hello! For shoes, I’d recommend water proof flip flops/sandals to wear around the pool. The ground can get very hot, so it’s nice to have shoes you can slip on and off by the entrance to the pool. For evenings, either flats (like a cute sandal) or wedges. The ground surface is very uneven and the walk on the boardwalk area can be very difficult to walk on in heels. If you want to do the bike tour, you have to be wearing tennis shoes. Hope that helps!

    When go to the beach at the Valentin around 10:30am and then go over to the “rectangular” pool around 2:00 pm and ALWAYS get a chair. The main pool has zero chairs available during those times so the rectangular pool is a blessing in disguise + you get really good drink service there. Around 3:00 pm we hit the swim up bar and stay until 5:00 or so. NOT getting up at 6:00 am on vacation to go get a chair. Chair game is at ALL resorts now. Has more to do with the guests than resort itself.

Are those not allowed? - Women: Can my wife wear flat open toed sandals? They aren't flipflops ... but it might be a stretch to call them shoes. Thank you for whatever information you can give us.

    Is that the same case with viewing the coliseum? Can we purchase a skip the line tour separately from Gate 1?

    I do not want to carry my phone with me. I like leaving it in my safe. We travel to the Valentin often and being forced to use your phone is not good.

    Hi Heather! Going on Sunday. Someone mentioned the water and ice. Have you had any problems? She recommended not drinking a frozen drink but I have seen you having them. Thanks! Love your videos!!

      Hello! Having been to Mexico several times, we’ve never had a problem with water and ice. Resorts treat their water, including the water used to make ice, so on the resort you should be fine! (Drink all the frozen drinks you want!) We do use the bottled water in the rooms for drinking and teeth brushing. Also, if you leave the resort, you may want to stay away from water and ice.

    I've seen reviews where people have complained about the beach towel situation. That there are not towel stations throughout the resort. And that you are limited to the number of towels you can use per day. What's your thoughts on this issue?

      Hello! We’ve never had any problem regarding towels. Typically we leave our dirty towels in the room when we leave for dinner and they replace them with clean ones during turn down. There is also a spot by the main pool where you can turn in dirty towels for clean ones. I haven’t heard anyone being frustrated. If you’re on the beach, it would take a walk to return your towels at the towel stand by the pool, but it’s really not super far.

    We booked a trip for 11/29/23-12/13/23. My husband prefers ocean front so we booked the Emerald section. We did not think to pay attention to the resort map when we booked this room. Since then we have seen the map and it looks like the Emerald Ocean Front rooms are far from the restaurants and pools. How far of a walk would you say it would be for us to get to the restaurants and pools? We are wondering if we should cancel the Emerald room and get something else.

      Hello! Your distance from the restaurants will vary based on what building your ocean view is in. Buildings 9 and 10 are the farthest while buildings 13 and 14 wouldn’t be too bad of a walk.

    Great information. It would be great if you could insert some footage of the areas as you discuss them.

    What do you use to communicate with family at home? We have young kids we will be leaving so we want to be able to communicate a little with family. Facebook messenger on wifi? another app?

      The Valentin offers free Wi-Fi resort wide. It doesn’t work great at the beach, but we’ve never had a problem in any other areas. We use apple messaging through the Wi-Fi, but could also use FaceTime.
