As GGUNN said in the other forum: "You'll get a lot more response if you post your questions to Home=>Travel/Locations=>Mexico..."

Better yet, use the SEARCH box at the top of the page to run first on the resort, then on the dive operator. You'll gets hours of reading.

:nono: Finally, I was told to not post the same posting in two different forums.

:sombrero: But have a great time. D-Don

No worries...

A moderator will move the post for you.. Once it's in the Mexico section you should get plenty of info.

As far as the Occidental Grand goes, I have not stayed there & only have general info, such as kids club, # of rooms, bars, pools etc... So I don't think I'd be much help.

You can get a lot that way. I've had my challengs, though:
(1) I searched for "tired" and "exhausted" but missed "fatigue."
(2) When I search for "Reef Club," I got everything with either word. Hah!
(3) I'm trying "water treatment" next. Hope I don't break the Search Engine.
And then tere's my SPELLING?!

I stayed at Allegro the time I've been there; nice, but a little too sterile for me. We dived with Palancar, which I guess is the house operator for more than one. Good operation, nice boats, good DMs, etc. Ishmel was very helpful with my buddy, who was doing her first ocean dives. She even hired him as a private DM when he wasn't on duty, and we tipped him well.

I'm going to Reef Club in November. Anything I can look for while I'm there...?

Subsonic, You will thank your wife! The place is fantastic. True 4 star with great food and drink, with service above reproach. it is brand new. Dive palancar has a dive shop with gear storage on site, right next to the lunch restaurant. The only thing I did not leave with them was my computer. Dive palancars main operation is 500 yds down the beach at the Allegro but they pick you up on the beach in front of the Grand. Multiple trips available each day, a ten dive package is about 300usd and nitrox is only 6 usd per tank. They have showers and a clean rinse tank at the shop for after dives. Great top shelf tequila is "Under the Bar" for those savvy enough to ask. I won a 7 day trip from Rodales and went in May. One of the best trips ever. We will be back as soon as we can beg, borrow, or steal the means.
