Santa arrived y helicopter in Costa Mujeres
We saw Chic last night. Smaller venue which was nice. Service & food very good. The show didn’t seem as varied as that in RM but performers are very talented.
We arrived last evening. Airport was very busy and traffic was heavy. AGI was waiting for us despite Abby being late. Julio brought us to the hotel in a plush new vehicle. It took about 40 minutes.
Check in was very friendly. We were upgraded to a Loft suite in building 2. Very nice gift for Abby’s birthday. We are blown away by how stunning the hotel is. Abby said this is her kind of place and she feels like she’s in Ibiza.
Our butler Christopher was very accommodating. He understood we were tired so rather than give us an orientation he walked us to La Boheme where we were seated right away (about 8 pm). We had warm brie, onion soup en croute, lobster with very tender filet and lamb chops. Marco was our excellent waiter.
After dinner we went to the Gravity Sky bar for a cocktail. We met some people from our Facebook page. Everything was very laid back.
Today is Abby’s birthday so I am excited to see what is done for her. Some people have already mentioned her birthday.
Weather is overcast and a bit cool. “Chill” music is playing in the background. All is good. Will check back later.
Thai restaurant was a WOW!! Here is the view
Just an update: There is still work being done around the resort. Today they are going hard near the end of building 1 and on the entrance area of Helios and I’m sure other locations as well. The work has to be done guests or no guests.
Most all amenities are available from what I have seen.
This is our last day and we will be sad to leave tomorrow. We have had a wonderful time.
The finishing construction did not impact our vacation in a negative manner. If work was being done in an area and we didn’t like it we moved on.
We look forward to returning again to see the changes and watch as the resort grows and matures.
Yes I am waiting for a schedule. Here is last year’s
I had an email from Rosie yesterday regarding christmas week in Costa Mujeres.
There will be a special dinner on Christmas Eve. I should have the menu soon.
The show schedule for Chic for Christmas week is not out yet. I’ll let you know what it is as soon as I know.
I should also have the Christmas Mass schedule soon.
Hi Mexico and welcome.
Sounds like a good price! You will not be entitled to visit the TRS or Family restaurants, TRS or Family S pools or section of beach. If you choose to attend Chic Cabaret or visit the spa there will be charges.
You will still have plenty of options for restaurants & bars. Grand Palladium restaurants
Felipe reports that the technicians are currently weighing their options. Will update when I know more.
The news I heard today is the lagoon is “low” but not totally drained. Fish have been removed and are safe. Hang in.
Tracy:
While we experienced minor inconveniences during our stay, all I remember the details of are the wonderful things. Every meal was an experience. The staff made me feel like a queen and the room was beautiful and comfortable. You will not be disappointed!!
Congratulations to Rosy who is now the Director of Client Relations of the new Palladium Costa Mujeres resort!
Sad times a few photos from our final morning. Now sitting waiting on transfer to airport. Can’t believe it’s been 2 weeks already!
La Boheme tonight for dinner. Nothing on the menu for Andy apart from desserts so I had 2 lots.
Bit of a mixed review for me.
Fondue was okay only had a small amount
Onion soup as everyone says was amazing
Main courses chateaubriand was ok
Stroganoff – main issue this was not stroganoff. It should be creamy and be strips of beef. I was confused when she asked how I wanted it done. Although it was nice it was not what I was looking forward to.
Desserts were good. Andy had sorbets and I had crepe Suzette.
Tomorrow night it’s Eldorado hopefully it’s as good as the reviews.Well starting another perfect day in paradise we are at the midway point of our stay now. So far the weather has been hot and beautiful with just a bit or rain. Cannot complain!
Food has been outstanding at every place we have visited. So far El Gaucho twice, Chang Thai and last night Terazonnie ( spelling sorry) we plan on La Bohemia’s tonight and will try Helios for dinner another night. We have stuck with Helios for breakfast and lunch if we want anything. It is most convenient it you are at the infinity pool which we are enjoying.
There are lots of food options and the staff is extremely careful about allergies, they always ask. Always offered hand sanitizer as well…. cleanliness is outstanding here.
Service is as you would expect ….. first class. You ask, they try to fulfill it and anticipate it.
Today we will visit the spa later and hopefully say hello to the e Butler ….she was most helpful and I just want to thank her in person.
Loving every moment….the staff continues to represent this brand in the most amazing way…they are a special bunch of people. We are missing our dear Antonio Chulim Poot….there is just no one like him!
The resort is presently about 70 % full….this section so we have joined the towel game at the pool. If you have a preference you need to stack your claim early. I don’t like to do this but we generally drop our bag at a spot on route to breakfast..not one of those people who leave towels out and then don’t return for hours.
If you have questions feel free to ask, if I can answer I will.We did El Gaucho twice for a special reason…..the chef offered o make us this amazing cheese soup he does..we had two bowls. What a Sweet thing to do ….it was delicious. We may go again…it is probably our favourite
The biggest decision of the day is where to hang out and which place to go to dinner! Such is life in paradise! Really hot today think we picked a good spot⛱
Day three and starting another beautiful day in paradise! Last night we experienced the chic cabaret and it did not disappoint! We booked this with the e Butler in advance of arrival and I understand it is popular so be sure to book it.
The show is high energy and the performers give 100 percent….they want you to have fun and join in and they make the experience great from start to finish. The food was delicious. I tried the vegetarian option while my hubby stuck with the meat and he enjoyed every plate. Mine was also lovely.
Second breakfast at Helios today and wow friends the food is just perfection. Love everything about how they plate things etc just wonderful!
One very special thing happened last night…. we saw Lucy at the TRS lobby! We plan to go back when she works next to catch up but she is still here for those who thought she was gone. There are lots of new faces for sure and we truly miss Antonio Chulim Poot….I don’t think anyone could take his place!
Well after being rained off yesterday the night was amazing. Gorgeous meal at the Thai restaurant followed by chocolate night in Hemingway’s bar. WOW. The pictures don’t do it justice. Anyone on a diet look away now!

Here are some pics she shared Facebook photos
Bahia e Brasa, Riviera Maya –
Dinner at this Brazilian rodizio starts with a Caipirinha then a trip to the salad bar which had standard salad items, cold cuts and cheeses and some hot items such as rice, broccoli in cheese sauce and a fish dish. After your salad the waiters come to the table offering different meats served from a large skewer, which they carve and you catch with a little set of tongs.
Unlike other rodizios I’ve been to there was no menu showing the list of meats that were available, which may be helpful if you want to save yourself for something in particular! There was pork, lamb, chicken legs, two types of sausages, garlic bread, vegetables, turkey wrapped in bacon and three cuts of beef – ribeye, strip loin and brisket. You’ll find the beef is served quite rare, so you might want yours carved from the outside if you want some more well done.
The last item is cinnamon coated pineapple to cleanse your palate before dessert.
On the whole it was good. The garlic bread wasn’t warm enough so the butter hadn’t melted and the lamb was pretty chewy. The chocolate mousse got a thumbs down for its consistency, thick and rubbery, I think the worst dessert item I’ve had here. The strip loin was the best.
Would I go again? Not on the same trip but I would return on the next. The meat was all hot too, something I’ve had a problem with a lot while I’ve been here.
Welcome Milo,
Captain Ricks is nearby in Puerto Adventuras
I’ll post this on our Facebook page also

Soooooo..Last night in Europe!!! Great times but good to be going home tomorrow am.
Had a fine day in Zurich and were able to revisit some places we went to at Xmas Markets in 2015. Evening before we had fine Italian fare close to our hotel. Today we spent most of our time in the Bahnhoff Station . It has a huge mall on three levels below ground……nice but oh so expensive.
Also went to the old town for lunch and then back to the hotel.
Capped off the day at the main floor of the bahnhoff where there was a beer garden and the beginning of a Swiss Octoberfest. Had real traditional Wurst , roast potato and BEER. Fun and good but we were in the quiet part away from the “prosit” and the smoke.
We are very impressed with Viking River once again. They treat you GOOD!!!!!! Even at the hotel we were provided with 24 hour pass on the tram system. Very good for 70 year old knees.
We fly out early am direct to Vancouver on Air Canada. Next day home to Isle Lovely.Soooooo..Last night in Europe!!! Great times but good to be going home tomorrow am.

Those of you skipping the La Boheme restaurant should think twice. It was the most flavourful meal we ate all week. We started with Cheese Fondue, next was the French Onion Soup and Chautibriand for main course!! Absolutely delicious and wonderful dinner.
Congratulations Hannah & Matt on your engagement.
Honeymoon at TRS has been scheduled for November 2019!
