My Positive Experience at Moon Palace Resort Cancun, Mexico

Last year during Winter Break my family went on a trip to Cancun. We were all so excited, but my brothers and I have never been to Mexico before so it was even more special! Long plane rides make me tired and when I get to the hotel I want to be able to relax. As soon as we got to the resort there were people there helping us out right away. We had to check in to the resort so the men asked for our names and took our luggage to our rooms so we did not have to worry about it. The people at the front desk were so nice and offered us drinks and snacks while we wait.
The next day we all went to breakfast together. There was one server we had for the whole entire week, his name is Carlos and we all loved him. Every morning we would go down bright and early to talk to him. He asked us about our stay and he even asked us about our lives and made a personal connection with all of us. Carlos was so funny too and would make us laugh the whole time.
At the pool there were little food huts, but my dad would always go inside to talk to Carlos. He made our stay so much better because he really cared about us and he wanted to make sure we had a good time. Given the chance, I would go back to Moon Palace Resort because everyone working there were just like Carlos! So nice and so helpful!

Catherine's Negative Experience

My family loves going to Maine, we have been going there since we were babies. My dad always went to York Maine growing up, but we always went to Wells Beach Maine. We have family friends that live in Maine that we visit all the time. Our parents wanted to all go out to eat together so we chose the Weathervane. Our friends loved going there, but we had never been there before. We got there and immediately put our names on the list. They told us since there were 9 of us that it would be about a 20 minute wait. We were all fine with that because we had no place to be! 20 minutes passed and no one had come to us about being seated. People who came in after us were being sat before us. An hour goes by and finally they come out and apologize for the wait, but it wasn't a sincere apology. We sit at the table and they asked us for our drink orders. 20 minutes later the waitress comes out with our drinks and then asked our food order. An hour and a half passes and she comes out with our food. All of our food was cold and clearly had been done for awhile. We did not care much that we waited so long because we were in the presence of each other, but it was still annoying because it came out so late. This was probably when I was around 7 or 8 and we have not been back since.

Negative Experiance Denny's




One negative experience that I have encounter wasn’t too long ago. I recently went to Denny’s with my girlfriend and her friend. It took a while for us to get seated, the seating arrangement were extremely poor. When being served water was split, our drinks were splits when reaching the table, no apology from the waiter. We had ordered an appetizer and it wasn’t brought out until our main dishes arrived.  When we ordered our food it awhile to get to us and when it did it wasn’t warm my steak wasn’t cooked well. Regarding the service it wasn’t great we waited a long to for our server to come and checkup on us. We have asked multiple for refills, and I would have to go out my way to find another server to get my items.  My guess was that they were very understaffed and that is something that a restaurant like. Regarding our cold food and the bad service there were no accommodation toward our bill or anything

this video was taken this summer in Florida my little cousin and I challenged the Slingshot and Won, well I believe I did I honestly don't know about my little cousin. He was pumped but his face said other wise lol.  My Uncle, aunt, and cousin had stayed at the Liki Tiki Village Resort it had 3-4 different pools, arcade, and gym. we didn't stay in rooms they were more like small apartments, Kitchen, 2 full bathrooms, washer and dryer. During our stay it was great the bar by the pool was nice. It had a great view. The resort had 2 Basketball courts, offered fishing, rafting, and biking. If items were needed such as towels and extra blankets etc. we could call the front desk and it would be brought over. our stay was more like as if we were home, we cooked, cleaned were we had stay. I'm not entirely sure I think at time when we lefts maids would come to vacuum the floors or something. They offered Wi-Fi as wells as cable, the only down fall about the Wi-Fi was that only (5) devices could be connected at once. Overall our trip at the was a great experience. I fell what made experience was that we had the freedom in the apartment.

One negative experience that I have encounter wasn’t too long ago. I recently went to olive garden with my friend and his family. When we first sat down out waiter approached us and asked if we would like a sample of wine, this was great but he did not ask us for any identification to see if we were over the age of 21, that was the first thing I have noticed. When we ordered our food it awhile to get to us and when  it did it wasn’t warm and the chicken was room temperature and the food just wasn’t  up to the olive garden standard that you see it on tv that promotes good Italian food. Regarding the service it wasn’t great we waited a long to for our server to com and checkup on us. We have asked multiple of the servers for sauce and still it too awhile. My guess was that they were very understaffed and that is something that a restaurant like that faces very often. Regarding our cold food and the bad service there were no accommodation toward our bill or anything. If you asked me if I would go back there I probably wouldn’t go to that same one just because of the bad service and the low grade quality of the food

One positive experience that I have encountered was last summer. My family and friends have had went to carmines in New York City. The atmosphere of the restaurant is a family style restaurant s you sit down and order what you want and they always start you off with a salad and one of the unique attributes that this restaurant presents is that you sit at a long table with people that you don’t know. This is an Italian restaurant and the food is something you will never have the same taste anywhere else. You can tell that the food is authentic Italian food.  When in the restaurant you feel like as if you are all one big family. By being seated with people you don’t know that gives you an opportunity to talk and conversant. The overall experience and the service was great. The waiters and waitress would always come up every five minutes asking if everything was alright and if we needed anything. The greatest thing is that it is in the heart of the city down the street from Times Square.

Tori's Positive Experience


A positive experience that I have had was at  a near by coffee shop in Connecticut. They are always willing to do more then asked and help you in any way possible. This is a family owned cafĂ© and they take pride in anything and everything that they do. I was sitting with my friend and an elderly ladys cane fell over and knocked our table, spilling  my coffee and as soon as the workers realized what happned they made me a new coffee. This was extra nice of them because I really only had two sips left and I felt bad because it was an accident and they made sure that I got a whole new coffee and offered something from the bakery. I insured them that it was nice enough that they made me a new coffee and that it was not necessary to give me more. Being such a small place they have to make sure that people come back and support their company.. I will forever go to that place no matter what.
