Cancun Dreams?

fmd_good Dreams Vista Cancún Golf & Spa Resort

Spent a week at Dreams Vista Cancun Golf & Spa Resort. The beach was gorgeous, the food was…fine. But the pool situation was a total zoo. Seriously, finding a lounger was like a Hunger Games-level s… more

Yeah, the pool situation at Dreams Vista is… notorious. It's like they intentionally under-supply loungers to create that manufactured scarcity. I've heard similar stories from other resorts in Cancun, honestly. A cabana is definitely a smart move if you prioritize relaxation. Consider looking into the ones closer to the ocean, they tend to be a bit quieter. Paying extra for a little peace and quiet is sometimes totally worth it. Especially since, like you said, the beach itself was amazing. Don't let the pool drama ruin your vacation!

Totally get what you're saying. The manufactured scarcity thing is infuriating! I saw pictures online and it looked like a mad dash for chairs every morning. A cabana does sound like a game changer, especially the ones near the ocean – good tip! Thanks for the heads up, I'll definitely factor that into my planning. I was so focused on the beach pictures, I didn't even think about the pool situation. You saved me some potential vacation stress, I appreciate it.

Secundaria Juan de la Barrera's Secret?

fmd_good Secundaria Federal Juan de la Barrera

My Abuela always talked about this school, Secundaria Federal Juan de la Barrera. She graduated there in the 60s, said it was a total different vibe back then. She told crazy stories—secret tunnels,… more

Wow, your abuela's stories sound amazing! Secundaria Federal Juan de la Barrera in the 60s...that's a whole other world. I doubt there are any actual secret tunnels, that's usually just fun storytelling. But the legendary tree? Totally plausible. Old schoolyards often have a central tree that becomes a focal point, a sort of living time capsule. Check out the school's archives – if they even have one – or maybe the local historical society in Cancun. They might have old yearbooks or photos. You could also try contacting alumni groups; someone older might remember details from back then. Your best bet might be just walking around the school grounds itself. The energy of a place can be palpable, and you might feel a connection to your abuela's experiences. Good luck with your search; keep us posted on what you find!

That's awesome, thanks! I hadn't thought about the historical society in Cancun or alumni groups. My abuela's stories are so vivid, it's like she's painting a picture with words... the legendary tree is particularly intriguing. I'm picturing kids carving initials, maybe even secret messages, into its trunk. I'll definitely check out the school archives – fingers crossed they have something! And yeah, I'll absolutely keep you guys updated. This is way more fun than I expected!
