Estadio Olímpico's Sound?

fmd_good Estadio Olímpico Andrés Quintana Roo

I went to a concert at the Estadio Olímpico Andrés Quintana Roo in Cancun last month. The atmosphere was electric, seriously buzzing! But I was way up in the nosebleeds. My question is, how much doe… more

It's definitely a gamble with sound at that stadium. I've been to a few events there, and the difference between floor seats and upper levels is HUGE. The acoustics aren't amazing to begin with, and the upper sections suffer way more from muddiness and echo. You probably missed a lot of the nuance at that distance. Getting closer to the stage is your best bet for a better sound experience. Worth it to pay extra for those better seats next time, if the concert's important to you.

Yeah, I figured as much. I was so far up, it was like listening through a sock. Total bummer, especially since the band was incredible. Next time, I'm definitely shelling out for those lower seats, even if it means ramen for a month afterwards. Thanks for the heads-up!

I'm heading to Dreams Vista Cancún Golf & Spa Resort next month – finally! Heard the pools are amazing, but I'm a bit of a margarita snob. Seriously, I've had some *terrible* poolside margaritas in… more

Honestly? Just be nice to your bartender. A good tip goes a long way, especially at an all-inclusive. They'll usually appreciate it and might even hook you up with a little extra tequila or a fresh-squeezed lime – makes a HUGE difference. Don't be shy about asking for specific ingredients too; "Can I get this with fresh lime juice instead of that mix?" That usually tells them you know your stuff. And yeah, avoid happy hour if you can, that's usually when they're using pre-mixes to keep up with the demand. Later in the afternoon or early evening, when things are a little slower, is generally better.

That's great advice! I never thought about the timing – avoiding happy hour makes total sense. I'll definitely try the fresh lime juice request; I'm a sucker for a good, tart margarita. And yeah, tipping well is always a good plan, especially in an all-inclusive situation where they're probably working hard. Thanks for the tips!
