Majestic Elegance.

I was at the Majestic "Colonial" (they just changed their name after opening the new wing). From October 17-24. Out of all the hotels I've been to this was one of the nicest ones. I went with a wedding party. The Photographer that came with us went back for two weddings from November 15-28. She Stayed in the newly built wing this time. She said that in her room, there was no hot water so she complained at the front desk and got an upgrade and all complaints were resolved. She came home pretty happy, and is going again for another wedding photo shoot in April and has decided to stay there for one out of the 3 weeks (I'll be there with her in April for the photo shoot).

The resort is very nice. In the last five years I have traveled a lot and this was the first time a place got a "WoW" from me. The staff are friendly, the food is pretty decent, although tell her to stay away from the sushi. My Friend (the bride) ate it the night before and it kinda ruined her wedding day. The rooms are amazing. The only other two complaints that my photographer friend had was that two people out of the group that recently went had no A/C working in their rooms (they got upgrades after complaining).

My only problem with our room when we were there was that the lock stoped working on me and my roomie 3x. The first time we just went to the lobby and had new keys programmed and it worked, the second time a technician had to come and re-program the keys, and the third time the technician had to completely change the locking mechinism (didn't feel very safe after that). We weren't the only ones in our group that this happened to.

I would recommend that place again. Tell her to beware of Francisco...He's kinda weeeeird (in a sanky way).

Majestic Elegance is not a new wing but an entirely new and separate resort (although there are temporarily privileges for Elegance guests at Colonial). It just opened on November 21/08 and not surprisingly has a few growing pains. I have been to Majestic Colonial (which has not changed it's name) twice and am looking forward to the Majestic Elegance experience which is going to be even better, I am promised.

I was at the Majestic colonial and saw the construction on Majestic elegance. They're soo close to eachother that it seems like they're ONE HUGE RESORT!!! (if you've been there, we were standing near the little chapel and the closest new building being built was right behind it).

I got my Gen's second trip dates wrong MY BAD!!!!

I was there October 30th for a tour, what was finished was spectacular.
There was a container issue at Customs and opening was delayed for 3 weeks, each week it is getting better and by the time your friends are there everything should be operating full steam.
