Hi, Is there a casino at this resort??
I just saw your video as we're checking out Marriott properties to stay at for a few days in San Juan prior to a cruise. Thanks, lots of good info and the Sheraton looks nice. Question - do you know if they have a lounge for Marriott Bonvoy members that offers breakfast, snacks, drinks, etc.? You also mentioned a complimentary shuttle so I guess there's no need to rent a car unless we travel to the rain forest or a day trip further out of town.
Need to crank up the volume, good video though. 👍
Just some feedback. Show less of yourself and more of the video!
Thanks for the feedback!
What room exactly do I need to book to have the roof top plunge like you did? thanks!
Hi! You’d need to book one of their “Casitas Oceanview”. For the plunge pool you need to be on the 2nd floor of the casita, but they say they can’t guarantee it, and it depends on what’s available upon check-in. We had spend one night on a first floor casita (that still had a plunge pool), and then move to another room the next day.
Thanks lady this helped a lot
I just booked and I almost canceled my reservation for a more budget friendly place, but this video just completely sold me. I found the right place!
Yessss, I'm glad! Sometimes it's worth it to spend the extra $. I promise you're gonna get the luxury you paid for!!!
@@craftedjourneysco ugh I can’t wait now, I’m 1 month away, thank you🤍
Thank you for your video! I know there are 2 Corendon resorts next to each other - Mangrove and Rif Mangrove. I am planning a trip for Oct and cant decide btwn the 2.
Of course! It seems like the RIF resort caters more to rest and relaxation, whereas the Mangrove is a bit more lively and family-friendly. I suppose it'll depend on what vibe you're looking for. The plus side of staying at the RIF though, is that you'll automatically get access to the Mangrove resort so it'll essentially be a two-for-one deal!
Did you ever go on your trip? I would love to know which hotel you went with and what your experience was like?
@@anyamcnab3445 Thank you for following up with me! I hope you had a great Thanksgiving. As for the trip, I ended up choosing a completely different location. We went to Cabo. I'm planning Curacao for our anniversary next year. Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!
Which one is for couples
Question, did you by any chance venture out to the beach that is closest? To my knowledge it was suggested Condado beach was closest but is ranked one of the most dangerous in regards to rip currents & choppy waters in general. Would you suggest any other beaches? I’m traveling with a 14 year old as well as my grandma so not necessarily avid swimmers- we want calm waters but don’t mind if the beach is busy! I’ve looked into Culebra and we may do a ferry ride from Cieba out there but wanted to know better options that are closer to the hotel.
Hey! I didn't actually go on the beach, I just drove past it on the shuttle. Many guests did seem to visit, the waters looked a bit rocky from where I could see, but again so many people went there, that it may be worth it to just visit to lounge and chill. The only beaches I've been to in PR were in Luquillo, which is about a 50-minute drive, but they were beautiful!!! So it may be worth considering.
I have already planned a trip in November to stay here. I was curious. Do I need a power converter coming from the US? I read that it just depends on the resort you stay in when it comes to European vs. US plug ins in Curacao.
Such a good question! Yes, you will need the European plug-in adaptor!
@@craftedjourneyscoso basically I can’t charge my phone unless I have the European adapter
@@K_Kenya They do have USB ports that you can use to charge your phone, but it doesn't charge as fast as if you used a plug, so yeah I definitely recommend bringing the adaptor.
@@craftedjourneysco ok I see thank you
Hi, How far is the resort from the towns center of Los Cabos?
Hi! Sorry for the late reply. The resort is about a 20 minute drive from downtown Los Cabos!
How were the drinks?
The drinks were good, I didn't find them particularly strong though, if that's something that matters to you.
@@craftedjourneyscohello i am the new bartender trust you fin to get lit af gang gang
Hi! My boyfriend and I are considering this resort for a June 2024 trip. It sounds like there's music at the sunrise pool during the day? I know there are some shows at night--does the resort ever have any live music into the evening independent of a show? Do people hang out at night after the shows are over? We are 30 and like to have an after dinner drink before bed!
Hi! I definitely think this resort is a great option to consider. When I was there, they had various entertainment options. The sunrise pool usually does have music in the day. It isn't anything super loud, like a DJ, but they have speakers around to enjoy some songs. All the nights I stayed they seemed to have various entertainment options that culminated with a show at the end, and the show always took place in different areas of the resort. People always hung out after the show in the bar that's just below the lobby, so you can definitely get your after-show drinks there!
@@craftedjourneysco thank you so much! we typically like to go to bed early on vacation (like 10:30) because we like to make the most of the day! nice to know there is some activity into the evening. hopefully we can make some friends! we also are looking at being there over july 4th. good to know there's a show!
@@madelinemorr4380 no problem! They really went ALL out with their show on July 4th. There was a barbecue, live music, a fire show. I have no doubt you'll enjoy it!
we’re u platinum?
I wasn't!
Hey, just booked this. What month did you go? Nornally go adults only but decided to give this ago, is there a lot of family’s there? I know it’s a family hotel but is it mainly family? Also how many a la cartes can you book as I can’t seem to find it anywhere
Hi! I went in December 2023, for NYE. At that time there were A LOT of families, which I figure makes sense due to the holiday and the fact that kids were off from school. So depending on the dates you're going, there may be less families present. Also, there are 8 a la carte restaurants that require reservations. The cuisine ranges from Japanese to Italian. When you check-in, you get a QR code, that gives you access to the direct hotel "app", where you can book your reservations.
@@craftedjourneysco hi thanks for the reply! So I’m going in May should be less busy as not holidays? How many entry’s to a la cartes was you aloud? Is it unlimited or limited? Secondly as you went in a busy period how hard did you find it to make reservations
@@azzamehmet You should be good to go then, there aren't any major holiday breaks in May, so I don't see there being tons of families there. You can make as many reservations as you'd like, as long as there's availability. For me, I was unable to get a reservation at all, but again it was because it was New Years Eve, and it was packed. I suggest trying to make your reservations in advance, and sometimes it also helps to go straight to the service desk, because they may be able to find availability that is not popping up on the app.
@@craftedjourneysco all booked! Thanks for the advice
@@azzamehmetI’m going in May as well 🎉
What is the dinner dresscode like? Do men need long pants and a dress shirt?
I would say it's "elevated casual", I saw men with khaki shorts and polo shirts. So, not crazy fancy like in a steakhouse, but still presentable.
Can you show more of the hotel with maybe a voiceover
That's a great suggestion, and I'll definitely keep it in mind for my future videos. Thank you!
I know it it all-inclusive, but was there anything you had to come out of pocket and pay for once you got there?
The only thing we paid out of pocket was our massages, and the tip we would leave for workers. Otherwise, everything else was included!
Great video and information Yesenia! (I read your necklace.) My wife and I are travelling there tomorrow morning for 5 days! I wish we would have known about you before but St. Lucia, St. Thomas, Aruba, Bahamas, and more will be in our future. I just signed up on your site. So we hope to work with you then. Your video has made me even more excited to get there!! Keep it up. I also subscribed. Talk to you soon!
Hi Aaron. I hope you and your wife had the best time! I hope to be able to plan a trip for you both soon!
That is for the review, we booked our trip there and can't wait!
Awesome! I hope you have a great vacation!

@craftedjourneysco i hope so.i never go anywhere so its all new to me
I feel you! It's awesome that you're taking that leap of faith now, and I think you chose the best spot for your first solo trip!@@cmurray388
I plan on visiting in January with my 7 friends. Can’t wait! Thank you for the review.
I hope y'all have the BEST time!
