Your post is absolute perfection and we couldn't agree more! We too tip towards the end of our stay in a fairly significant way to those who truly give exceptions service during our stay. Now we tip at the bars along the way.............but we love rewarding the best of the best at the end of our stay!
It's simply a gesture that seems appriciated. The people who you reward with something special remember you as well..
Your post '' Yeah it gets "contentious" because people try to call "me out" for some weird reason. I just looked back at the posts and I just repeated what another poster wrote. Yet, I notice that it only became an "issue" when I wrote it. Don't like what I post? Don't respond or respond in a nice manner. If you want to "call me out", I will "call you out" back. Simple as that. '' your post '' Who said I was taking pictures? Maybe you should go back and read this was a response towards people getting pictures taken of them without approval. Stop trying to yap at me before you read my full post. You're not my mother who is going to "correct" me. This is a comment I made about someone taking pictures of women (or anyone). This is a way they can avoid being identified if they can't prevent pictures from being taken. Obviously, there isn't a picture policy that is enforced at Temptation. So if someone takes a picture, it is better to have sunglasses, hat, etc so you are less identifiable. .. your post'' I am responding to previous comments that were made to me. They act like unless we praise everything about the resort, then we are a "whiner". If you weren't some crazy fanboy, you would understand that I am taking that mentality a step further and proving how ridiculous that notion is. There is no conspiracy of "other resorts" paying people anything to post here lol. Paranoid much? your post.. Yeah its pretty bad lol. I have a "history" because I posted a thread saying the Entertainment team appeared lacking. Apparently, no one is allowed to make any comments that are perceived to be negative. Some very defensive people on here. They actually had to shut down the thread after people were making implications of "beating me up". Yes every one thinks your polite and respectful, yet your always defending yourself. Its a shame such a respectful poster does not get more respect. I can not see why people are always negatively commenting on your posts . It is such a huge mystery.
Its a group of "regulars" that are complaining about my posts. The ones you quoted show me being quite respectful in my interactions. I only "respond" in a nasty manner after being insulted. Conspiracy theories included: 1) Worked for other resort that was trying to bad mouth TTR when I mentioned the entertainment wasn't good last May. 2) Worked for Temptations because I didn't support some regular poster's story about the resort being bad without both sides of the story. 3) Claim my IP address was the same as another poster Just ridiculousness all around by some really strange people who take themselves too seriously.
I'd thought Steve would have responded by now but I'm sure he is out having a blast with the week 8 crew at the moment as the boat was full with 95 people in attendance and its Jannets B-Day. As for the regulars here on CCC i would simply "suggest" the block feature to certain members or just not replying to the threads were you don't get along with the OP. It's set a negative tune here on CCC and continues hourly. Think of the amount of time you've spent reading and replying, instead of providing the positive feedback to those whom are actually interested in hearing all the positive vibes this site is well known for. As for those member(s) who continually decides to get his/her kicks off pissing people off.... Just ignore them, it's like a bad scab, you'll want to pick at it but we all know it's only going to leave a scare in the long run, which is our reputation that's has made this site as successful as it is already with 38k members and continuing to grow daily. As for some of the sour comment, yes we're all sick of the winter and the cold which I am sure is part of the negative feed back, nothing personal just a fact, we'd all prefer to be in the sexy pool doing body shots and dancing till the wee hours at Paty Os in our theme nights, just don't let the few trolls on here ruin the experience. I fell victim to it the other day and quickly deleted what I said but it was too late as it was replied to in text, forever on the internet lol, not that I have much concern for whom were referring to here to be honest, but it did leave a sour taste in a few members ideas of this site which I persoanlly apologize for in advance for doing so. Again lets let the few ruin this site for themselves as the newbies and regulars will begin to see the truth on their agenda and will eventually either quit the site, or change their behaviour for the better, or as some have done in the past, changed their account name and started fresh with a better attitude because their ruined their reputation from day 1. Happy New Years, Happy Valentines Day, Happy Birthday, Merry Christmas let's all be friends here xoxoxox That's my 2 cents
We need anger management here for sure! There's a simple solution to all this passive-agressive (or not so passive) nonsense. Be Switzerland! Remain neutral. Ever notice I rarely address a post to an individual? Addressing the board as a whole and ignoring individual users keeps comments polite and positive. We all have opinions but sometimes those thoughts are best left in the head. Ignoring the bait keeps everyone happy and those just posting to incite a reaction get bored.
Cancuncare is sort of my happy place. It's ok to have different opinions about things, and it's not uncommon on a message board for things to be misinterpreted...especially when not everyone knows each other's personalities. It's also ok to agree to disagree sometimes, and just move on. We're talking about a vacation resort, which has only one purpose...to make us all happier people. Almost nothing on here should ever be so serious that anyone's blood pressure should rise (with the exception of some of the theme night and Malibu Strings pics - I think we could all use some of those right now). Once you've been around a while, members' personalities will start to be understood. Charles Barkley makes a lot of money as an NBA analyst because he's never shy about saying exactly what he thinks...knowing half of the people listening will disagree. There's nothing wrong with that...he's honest and he's interesting. We have a few 'Charles Barkleys' on this site ( a good thing, I think)...they're honest and interesting, and you'll come to understand not mean spirited...they just add a unique perspective on some things.
Cancuncare usually is a happy place and also like Scottydog said, it's not always easy to get the complete understanding of what somebody posts from a quick message like those on this site. During a normal conversation there is a whole other set of dynamics that come into play with voice inflection, tone, etc, but you get none of that in a post or phone text. That often can be confusing and frustrating. Our kids do the same thing with texting. Sometimes they'll wonder what a friend meant in a text, and my response is "Well, why don't you use your phone to call them." For some reason that is never the first choice with them. Oops. I think I just misdirected the original post. Sorry!
Couldn't agree more. For me personally for some reason passive aggressive behavior is a red flag. I find it manipulative and typically comes from a small person with either control or identity issues in their own lives. I've had a hard time in a few threads lately biting my tongue but taking the moral high ground is the way to go. Plus I keep telling myself I'm a better man for it.... I think that's working lol We shall discuss this over drinks in the sexy pool in April... or just have drinks lol We have overlapping dates I believe.
Does this sound familiar, the dialog that is, have fun reading the old post history below http://www.cancuncare.com/forum/temptation-resort-cancun/31895-how-do-you-delete-you-profile-completely-off-site-2.html
