By curiosity, if somebody books 2 or more consecutive weeks, do they charge the $75 fee for each weeks since the $75 covers transportation from the airport and it will not be used for the others weeks (already at the resort) ?

If they charge the $75 for each of the other weeks, do they offer for free the transportation to the airport at the end since the transportation from the airport has not been used for those others weeks ?

Thanks

I was told for an upcoming Cabo @ Grand Mayan via SFX that the $75 wouldn't be charged twice, just once.

They charge $75 for each week. The fee also covers Internet access, maid service, fitness center access, etc.

We bring breakfast cereal from home and then go by the grocery store at the resort and pick up milk, juice, and fruit. We eat a light breakfast in the room.

Then we head to the breakfast buffet in the last 1.5 hours it's open, the price is discounted then. The price varies with season but I think when we were there, it was $25 for two people. Not 100% sure about that.

Breakfast buffet has cold breakfast items, fruits, egg/omelette station, hot Mexican dishes, salad bar, deli meats, cereals, bakery items, limited hot Asian entrees, juices, a carving station, dessert bar and crepes made to order.

Every day I had fruit, scrambled egg tacos, a salad with meat from the carving station and then a huge crepe filled with all kinds of good stuff.

Then that was it, we were done eating for the day. A few times we went to other restaurants on-property but only because we felt like we were being boring to hit the buffet repeatedly. But if costs were a concern, we could have happily eaten there every day.

Not sure if this will work for them and certainly if they're interested in exploring I would not discourage that. But the resort is so nice we never feel obligated to leave it.

Hopefully they will enjoy it as much as we do!!!
