ATM Rates
Created by: traciedee
I usually buy pesos through out the year when the rates are good. Did not do that this year so am I considering using the ATM's at the resort. Foreign ATM's make me nervous (due to a prior experience),so I was hoping to hear about your experience with the resort atms. Do you find the exchange rates decent and are there are any additional transaction fees charged? Also, have you experienced the atm's running out of money or frequently not working?

I am so sad : (
Created by: midtowngirl
I am 99% sure our trip is cancelled, I'm having some complications with my pregnancy. We go back to the dr on Monday but I fully expect to leave with a letter to give to my trip insurance company. The Palladium will still be there when I am better and/or after the baby is born, and keeping healthy is way more important...but darn it, it was so disappointing.
Things are going ok, nothing is too serious at this point, I just need to stay off my feet for a couple weeks and no traveling. Boo!
Pools

I know I go from pillows to pools... but I've searched a bit and can't find any reference to the hours for the pools. I'm sure I'm missing it, but was just curious if any of the pools are open in the evenings.

Interesting story
US State Dept. on Mexicana
Created by: Cape Cod Anne
The State Department alerts U.S. citizens that Mexicana Airlines (Nuevo Grupo Aeronautico, S.A. de C.V.) has announced that, effective at noon, Saturday, August 28, 2010, Mexicana Airlines has suspended all flight operations until further notice. The suspension applies to all Mexicana, MexicanaLink, and MexicanaClick flights. All flights scheduled to depart after this time have been cancelled indefinitely.
In a press release on the company’s website, www.mexicana.com, the airline pledged to assist passengers to the best of its abilities. Passengers who have already flown a leg of their journey are advised to consult the company’s website for further information. The company notes that priority assistance will be provided to “minors traveling unaccompanied, passengers traveling with children under age 3, and special needs passengers.” Individuals who have not yet begun their journey on one of the Mexicana airlines are recommended to make alternative travel arrangements.
The Department of State advises all travelers with reservations on Mexicana, www.mexicana.com to consult the company’s website for additional guidance and contact information for the airline. Passengers who may become stranded in the middle of their journey and who require assistance beyond that provided by the airline should contact their nearest Embassy or Consulate.
Palladium Vacation Club
Created by: njlynn
Have been reading reports on TA about the "Palladium vacation club". I really don't want to get involved in any kind of sales presentations. Other than not accepting an offer for a "free gift" is there anything else I need to do to avoid this? I dislike going to the Apple Vacations "orientation" (after 8 trips I don't want to spend time listening to them try to sell their excursions) but usually go just to get our return transfer pick-up voucher, but I don't want to have to do snything else. Any tips on avoiding this?

There are rumors about US dollars not being accepted beginning Sept. 9th. This will only impact the airport charges (departure taxes) and currency exchanges at banks.
