Dreams Vista Cancun Golf & Spa Resort: Anyone know the best time to snag a palapa by the pool?
So, I'm heading to Dreams Vista Cancun Golf & Spa Resort next month. Heard amazing things, but my friend swears getting a good palapa by the pool is a bloodbath before sunrise. Seriously, she said i… more
Yeah, getting a palapa at Dreams Vista can be… intense. My wife and I went last spring break. It wasn't quite Hunger Games, but it wasn't a stroll in the park either. We found that showing up around 7:30 am secured us a decent spot, not the absolute prime real estate, but good enough. People were definitely already there, staking out territory with towels though – so yeah, your friend's not exaggerating too much. Maybe try for a slightly earlier time if you really want the best selection. Also, consider the location of the palapa – some are closer to the bar, some are shadier, etc. Pick your priorities!
Arsgan House Mystery?
So I'm planning a trip to this secluded chalet, Arsgan House, near Cancun. Heard whispers about it being a bit…haunted? Locals call it "Casa Encantada," which, you know, translates to "Enchanted Hou… more
Nah, it's probably just old house stuff. Flickering lights? Old wiring. Whispers? Wind in the palm trees, maybe some critters. Cancun's humidity can do weird things to electronics, too. That said, the "Enchanted House" name… that's marketing gold. They're probably playing up the mystery angle. I'd bet my pesos there's nothing truly paranormal going on, but a slightly creaky floorboard or a spooky shadow in the right light can get your imagination going, especially after a few margaritas. Go for it, take lots of pics. Let us know if you hear anything more than coatis rustling in the bushes.
Haha, yeah, you're probably right about the wiring and the humidity. Cancun is pretty intense. I did think the "Enchanted House" thing was a bit much, but the pictures online looked… interesting. Definitely leaning towards "slightly creaky floorboard" rather than "poltergeist" at this point. Margaritas are definitely involved in my plan. I'll update with pics and any truly unsettling noises (beyond the coatis, of course). Maybe I'll even get a decent ghost story out of it. Fingers crossed for something mildly spooky, not full-blown horror movie stuff!
