Calm and peaceful voice over. Informative and detailed. I saw a cameo appearance behind the lobby fountain.
Amazingly beautiful, well done
Thanks for posting this but a suggestion, if you will. Speak louder and clearer. Your voice is practically non-discernable. Background music is fine but you have it louder than your voice at certain points.
@@crileyhood4958 thanks for letting me know. I will double check my sound settings. 😄
💃🕺
Awsome!
@@samuelmateo9386 this place is amazing. Wait till you see the view from our room!!
@@MidlifebumsCan't wait! 🕺💃
@ if you check out our instagram, same name as RUclips, you can see a bunch of photos now. We post there in real time!
@@Midlifebumsfollowing! 🎉🎉🎉
Love it!
Beautiful clear underwater footage. Love your reviews of each beach and snorkeling fishcount. Thank you
Can't wait for your next video! 🎉🎉🎉
@@samuelmateo9386 We are headed to Dubai tomorrow! So lots of videos to come!!
Great video! I was wondering how much and who you tipped at the resort.
@@alainafarrington4173 Hi! We brought $125 in ones / fives with us for tips. Honestly we saw no one tip at any of the restaurants but we did leave a few dollars on the table each time we ate. We also tipped our Butler - both in our building and pool side when we rented a cabana and housekeeping staff. We also tipped our driver to and from the airport. The other person we tipped was our tour guide on the half day excursion. Check out that video on our page because if you are going here we definitely recommend that day trip. Hope that helps!!!
It is a terrible hotel, no house keeping at all, a lot of excuses: you put the not disturb sing (false), you were inside (false), not a single day that you don’t have to search yourself at the reception for towels, toilet paper, the manager is unaware of the whole operation, you keep your whole;e holiday time complaining with no eco. Service is below poor, almost charity style, the service is extremely poor. A whole week with no house keeping, making beds by ourselves, etc. Unworthily of using the Wyndham brand. Very low quality. Thank God, Curaça has many places to offer good food and beaches.
@@Drjorgehulloa it really sucks when you have a horrible experience at any hotel. We knew we wouldn’t have daily housekeeping but they did come twice during our stay once to actually clean and once just to swap our towels. I’m sorry you didn’t enjoy your stay!
Very informative ❤. Thanks! Can you please tell me the options to drop off the rental car since the hotel has the free shuttle? Was thinking on getting the car from the airport for a couple of days and then use the shuttle. What are the approximate return times for the free shuttle? Does the hotel have free shuttle to the airport?
@@andrearodriguez2723 No , the hotel does not have a shuttle to and from the airport. The bus they have only goes to one beach and to Williamsted. Both are day trips and I feel like it was leave the hotel around 9am and back to the hotel by 4 but I don’t remember the exact times. When we were there you could arrange a rental car for the day directly from the hotel but it was more expensive than renting at the airport. We did 2 more videos about this trip and talk about driving and rentals cars.
Awesome resort review! Great camera work and so informative!!
@@markbulova1697 so glad you found it helpful!!!
Ferry Shore
Heading up from Miami in a few weeks for a guys bday trip, looking forward to it, thanks for the helpful video.
@@cristiandiaz8497 you guys will have a lot of fun!
This is not a Wyndham hotel.... it's part of the Palladium brand.
@@Alex-ce6it yes, however you can book all their hotels through the Wyndham app and pay with Wyndham points and use your status. They have a partnership deal. 😊 someone else mentioned that booking through the Wyndham app was cheaper than their hotel’s website .
This doesn’t look oceanfront, is it not?
@@nicholesampson5750 no this resort is not oceanfront. You will either need a rental car or to take the hotels free shuttle bus to the beach each day.
Great video and that is certainly a strange rule about the Bali Beds and Sun Loungers. Ty for sharing
Wow I am so happy I came across your helpful video. I actually have plans to stay at the TRS hotel this August as well! I would love to get in touch with Johnny for the private tour if possible. Thank you 🤗
@@kamillionaire813 so glad you found them helpful! This was an amazing tour!! Johnny’s WhatsApp # is 52 984 157 5558, he might tell you to book through the company’s website and then request him as a guide but I’m sure he will let you know when you reach out. Have a great time!!
@@Midlifebums thank you 🤩
Bro
Hello thank you for your video, can you only book reservations through your butler ?
@@AG-iy1em you can also download the Palladium app and book directly through there as well!!!
Thank you so much for the quick response! Were there any fun bars or clubs on property? Or any fun excursions you attended ? I am going for my baby moon end of August beginning of September hoping there’s some fun things for my fiancé
@@AG-iy1em honestly if we had had more time we would exploded all 4 properties but sadly we didn’t have enough days. Your Butler is a wealth of knowledge and so easy to reach via WhatsApp or the desk in your building. Their daily messages are super helpful and there was always something going on somewhere at the resorts. I didn’t see a club but there are lots of bars and live entertainment 😊. Sorry I couldn’t be more helpful. Congrats on the baby. 🥳
All TRS are Grand Palladium properties. Not Wyndham
You are correct Wyndham does not actually own them but you can book them through the Wyndham portal , use your points to the book rooms and use your Wyndham status. 😊
@@Midlifebums thanks, nice to know. Their price on Wyndham is cheaper vs official website. Did you have a hard time checking in? Or did they honour it?
@@austine-marie we had no trouble at all. We booked through the Wyndham app, paid for our entire stay with our Wyndham points and even got upgraded because of our Wyndham status.
The same as you can book through interval international@@Midlifebums
I highly recommend the Bravo dinner show as well!
@@EDGARHomeAutomation if we would of had more time we definitely would of seen that one too!!!
I’m going in August used 60k points taking my awife & daughter. Thinking of taking my brother & sister in law since its free
@@minhajkhaled7 you will have a great time!! Check out our other 2 videos about the island if you haven’t already. You will get info on best beaches to snorkel and where to go sightseeing!
E-tickets are FREE! The third party site will rip you off. If you’re paying for an e-ticket, it’s a scam.
How is the night life? Any clubs? Or daytime pool activities?
@@samanthamartin9282 when your butler texts you through the day they tell you about all the things going on. I just went and looked at those messages and here are some of the evening things that they had White Party, Live DJ , Silent Disco, Karaoke, Chic after party. During the day at the infinity pool they had cooking classes, cocktail classes, and music. We did not go to any of these but they definitely offer lots of things to do. Hope that helps!
Thank you for your honest review! Probably not a place for me.
Hi Guys! I'm Dominican and I go to the island once a year. Note: I always use Jetblue to go there. Usually a couple of days before my flights I get an email stating that I have to fill out the e-ticket with the link attached. I've never paid for an e-ticket and I often do this for my relatives when I help them with their flights. Be careful guys! God bless you!
Muy Buen Video! It's good to know you were treated well in my country! God bless you guys!
Not bad for 3 days!
Someday I will!
Awsome video! For my next trips I will most likely do private tours if I can continue traveling with points and miles. I took a trip to Isla Mujeres from Cancun and I felt like we were rushing, 20 minutes for snorkeling, 1 hour to eat, 2 and a half hours in the island. I know for most people is hard to do activities when staying at an all inclusive
@@samuelmateo9386 it was absolutely worth the extra money to do a private tour!! Plus like you we used points for our hotel so this day trip was actually more expensive than our entire hotel cost plus the extra we did for 4 nights 😂. We are so glad we went even if it meant we lost half a day on the resort.
@Midlifebums Activities is a topic people ask me all the time and I always say the same thing, try to get to know yourself before going on vacations because unless you are rich, if you pay for a stay at one of those 5 stars resorts you'll most likely feel is a waste of time getting out of there even for an hour
@@samuelmateo9386 EXACTLY, if we had paid in cash we definitely wouldn’t have done a day trip.
Overall I found TRS to be very enjoyable and good value for $ if you book far enough in advance to get a good deal. Grounds are gorgeous, Pools are great, beach ok (typical Mayan Riv. beach. If you want to be in Mayan Riv and have a gorgeous beach go to Maroma) food and drinks quite good for the price i paid. I enjoyed having the 3 other resorts to wander around and the selection of pools but definitely a big difference in quality of food and drinks between the TRS side and the 3 palladium resorts and other than strolling around and exploring there's really no need to venture out of TRS. I booked my trip for first week of April 2024 in Nov. 2023 for around $2400CAD/person for a poolside King room which puts you down by the infinity pool/ocean (From Toronto, 7 days, flight, taxes and airport transfers included) Had I booked in September when I started looking is was about $200/person cheaper and had I waited until Feb/March to book it was up to $3200/person. At $2200-2400 it was IMO a really good value. At $3200 maybe not so much and for that kind of $ I would book a Secrets or Excellence property instead. At the time I booked Secrets Akumal was $700/person more than TRS and Valentine Imperial was about $400-500/person more so I rolled the dice on TRS and was pleasantly surprised.
@@spinedoc893 we enjoyed our stay there as well. Our trip was too short to really explore the whole area and if we go back it would need to be for a longer stay. We did do a day trip and I am working on that video now!!
Maybe its different in lower season but I was here in April and Helios (and Caprichio in lobby building) was a combo of buffet and ala carte for breakfast and lunch. You could order off the menu or use the buffet or both. I found that a really good feature. I agree that the Brazilian restaurant was so so at best but every ala carte I went to on the TRS side was excellent including the steak house but it has been my experience that steaks at all inclusive are always a coin toss. Sometimes quite good and sometimes not at all good. The food at the Japanese restaurant was pretty good but aside from that every meal I had on the TRS side was much much better than any of the family resorts and the alcohol selection on TRS side was night and day better on TRS side. If I was to return here (and I would for sure) I wouldn't have any meals at the family resorts. Just FYI the jerk ribs at the TRS beach bar were really good!!
We hear great things about the Italian and Japanese restaurants but couldn’t get a dinner reservation for either our entire stay!! You could be right about the rest of the places. I only commented on the places we ate at so your comment will be super helpful to other people looking to go!! Thanks for your comment!!
@@Midlifebums The Italian and French were very good, Japanese was also good. (Although do NOT order the crispy mussels at the French restaurant). I would recommend anyone coming here talk to your butler the day you arrive to plan out your reservations because depending on time of year/occupancy level some restaurants book up quickly and some are only open certain nights. Also a lot of the activities such as Tequila tasting, cocktail class etc are only done one day/week.
@@spinedoc893 great info!! The day we checked in we had 2 choices for dinner because nothing else had an open reservation! We also couldn’t get a reservation at most places our whole stay ( they were full). We liked the buffet so it worked out ok for us in the end. 😊 But you should plan all your dinner reservations the day you arrive with your Butler for sure!!!
Question? Don't you get a 10% discount on the points when you are Diamond?
We try and keep the explanation simple since most people don’t know the finer details of using points and status. Plus alot people don’t have status but honestly it was 108,000 points for us not the 120,000.
We went to Wyndham Alltra Cancun for memorial day and had the same discount
@@samuelmateo9386 we are headed to Dubai in November and have two different Wyndham’s booked there. One on the beach and one by the Burj Khalifa. They aren’t all inclusive but we are still SOOOOO excited!!
@@Midlifebums Awsome! Can't wait for that video! 💃🕺
TRS is not a Wyndham Hotel
Love your videos! High quality and Very well explained! Keep up the good work
Thanks!! I had some technical difficulties this time around and some of the footage is shaky. Made me nervous about posting this one. Really appreciate you!!
This video was well done!
Thanks. I am so glad you found it helpful!! New videos are coming out very soon!!
thank you for the video, do you feel safe around this area? are you planning to say here next month
We did feel safe. We had no issues at all in Greece. Going back to Greece will definitely happen but sadly not this year.
I stay here the best place in Athens saludos
We would definitely stay there again!!
I'm your subscriber 56! 👏👏👏
Thanks so much!!
My wife and I are new to Wyndham and everywhere we look you have to pay additional fees for extra guest. This is surprising to me! So you payed no extra money, no hidden fees, nothing? Please confirm!
We paid with our Wyndham points so I can’t say if the same would be true if you pay with cash but There was no extra charges for the 2 additional adults and we could of brought 2 kids along as well at no extra fee because when the reservation got booked it defaulted to 4 adults and 2 kids. Even though it was always just going to be 4 adults. We paid no resort fees or taxes or anything else at check in. We booked online with our points and that is all we paid.
@@Midlifebums This is great! If we weren't too close to my next trip I would have changed plans!
Thanks for the info! Great video! Keep it up!
Thanks!! We have a lot more coming and we are so glad you found this helpful!!
REALLY helpful. We need to book for a wedding in Firostefani, and couldn't decide because my wife struggles with stairs. Your video clinched our decision. And it was really well done. Thank you for posting.
Awe we really appreciate the comment!!! Please let us know if you have any questions that maybe we can answer for you!!!
I’m going to curaçao tomorrow and I’m staying at this hotel
You will have a great time!!! We did!! Check out our other two videos about the beaches and sightseeing around the island.
How was it?
@@natashan8656Idk
When is peak season?
December to mid- April is peak season. We really like to visit places during shoulder season. Which is about a month before or after the peak season. This way it isn’t as busy. 😃. Plus things are usually a little cheaper.
Thank you!
@@jenniferzermeno7745 you are welcome!! We have two other videos about Curaçao as well. Make sure to check them out.
I WAS HERE TODAY!!!!🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
Did you love it ? 😍. We did. 😁
I went here today for a birthday party! I’m telling you it’s not horrible it’s amazing! ❤
We really enjoyed our week there too!! We would definitely go back!!!
Thank you for this video. Very detailed and informative
So glad you found it helpful!! We are going to another Wyndham all inclusive in Cancun in June and then to St Lucia in October!! So we will be doing videos like these for those vacations too!!!!
@Midlifebums nice. Looking forward to those videos
The high mounted mirrors make sense as it is designed for Dutch people 😂
Hahaha maybe, didn’t even think of that 😂😂😂😂
E tickets are free?
Hi, we used the link we were provided and paid a fee but since then we have found out you can get one for no fee by going to eticket.migracion.gob.do/ Hope that helps!!!
Curacao was anazing went there dec 22
Agreed!! It wasn’t really on our radar originally but I’m so glad we went.
@@Midlifebums we are going to excellence punta cana this December. Do you have any idea if punta cana has diet coke or coke zero?
@@Theyhateusandwedontcare they do!!! They have coke products but not Pepsi, my husband brought Pepsi with us 😂😂.
@Midlifebums yeah everywhere we have been so far had coke zero and my wife hates coke zero just thought I'd ask!
@@Theyhateusandwedontcare pretty sure they had Diet Coke too. Steve only drinks Diet Pepsi so it’s even harder to find! Although Curaçao had it in cans at the grocery store!!
