Sounds like one of those things you try once for the novelty, then never again.

We will be at Las Ventanas in Cabo in September, and I am hard-pressed to come up with a reason to try this ... other than Instagram and I am not signed up there.

I have been seeing it a lot in my instagram feeds. I have never quite understood it. They do make a pretty picture though!

I can´t see any Advantage. Call me old fashioned and boring but I thing the creation of chairs and tables wasn´t the worst idea.

Here‘s hoping that’s not a political reference. Especially since I will be flosting in my oversize private pool come September.

Most are all inclusive. Auberge du Soleil and PRI are not; Giri is sometimes but not always, think it depends on season.

Giri is BLD inclusive now year-round. But winter rates (and temperatures) are far more civilized.

Color me unconvinced.

“These stunts are performed by trained professionals, don’t try this at home.”

I wonder how those properties deal with guests making a mess in the pools, especially when it happens close to checkout time and the accommodations are fully booked for the coming night too.

This amateur in the mirror will not be trying this at home.
