Info on the Marriott, please?



Recommended Posts

I am off to Mexico next week for my surgery. I was hoping some of the veterans on this board could give me some info on the Marriott. My husband is coming with and I just wanted to know some of the features of the hotel and room. Thanks! :rolleyes:

Might be helpful to say which Marriott you're referring to...I imagine there are a lot of different Marriott's in Mexico ;)

I didn't use many of the amenities but there is a beautiful pool with jacuzzi, fitness center, great restaurant, small bar, and gift shop (with popsicles and some personal care items). The rooms are truly beautiful with marble floors, soft beds, lots of pillows, wireless access, coffee, etc. My hubby and I loved it!. Hope this helps, but yes, check out the website.

Kathryn,

Thank you for the reply. I have been on the website but was looking for the inside story that only those who have been there would know. Thanks for the info. I guess I don't need to bring pillows which is a relief because I am trying to travel light!

I am not very adventurous so I didn't explore the hotel too much, but the room was beautiful. Tv worked great with lots of english channels. In room safe, bottled Water always there and you can request more. Room service is great and everyone speaks english. Wifi works in your room and they will bring you a code each day. Lots of pillows (extra blanket and pillow in bathroom closet as well).

Does anyone remember, do the rooms have armchairs?

I have to stay a few extra days, and I'm trying to decide whether it would be worth it to pay the extra $25 bucks to have the upgrade to a room with a golf course view and balcony...anyone have an opinion?

Thanks in advance! :)

Yes there is a small table with two arm chairs and also a desk with a comfy office chair. Views weren't so bad, we had street views but the mountains were off in The distance. And a mini bar fridge they will empty out for you to use as a regular fridge.

I'm thinking of upgrading too because I'll be be their a week and so my mom will get some more amenities. Did you contact the Marriott to find out the price?

I think I first heard about the price from my coordinator, but I also saw it on Hotels.com and Expedia.

Thanks for the furniture info, srs82781!

I am a self confessed "princess" and was ready to organise an upgrade - but it wasn't needed. The room is actually lovely ... I hung out by the pool and it seemed to have sun all day ... Also a nice little Mall 5 min away. You'll have a great recovery there ... Also the bell boys are lovely, helpful & friendly

Quick question about this Marriott in Tijuana: if I can start to eat yogurt while I'm at the hotel, is that included like the broth is? Are you limited to the amount of broth you can have? Does anyone have recommendations for a 12 year old that is traveling with us to florence and the Marriott? What can she eat there?

Rollergirl - What about tipping? What is standard tipping? Who all do I tip? And when?

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
