Very helpful. Just a question - if i have booked a 3-4pm slot, is that the earliest i can use the shuttle from the park and ride? I assumed i could comea earlier to explore lake louise and then the transfer to moraine was 3/4pm but maybe ive got that wrong?
Hi! Thank you so much for your helpful info! Was the parking area where you ride the shuttle bus busy?? I was wondering what time I should get there so I can park my car at the parking spot where the shuttle bus stops. Earlier is better?
Hi, the parking area is busy but is very large. You will find a parking spot but could be a long walk to the ticket centre if you arrive late in the day.
I am impressed by this hotel after watching your content. I would like to book this hotel for a week of remote working, that means we need consistent and high speed internet for zoom calls and searches. Do you know if their WiFi is fast enough in the rooms and common areas?
Great questions! I usually tip US $1 or MEX 20 pesos every time someone serves me a drink or at the buffet (per person). More for a-la-carte. If the bellhop does an exceptional job delivering the bags (up many flights of stairs), I will tip $5 or 50 pesos. I’ve seen others more generous but this level always gets us great service.
If I book round trip roam transit shuttle in the morning to louis lake .can I use connector shuttles of park canada from louis lake to moraine lake and back to louis lake without booking shuttle on park canada website or do I need to book tickets for shuttle to moraine lake on park canada website.thank you
You will need to book tickets with Parks Canada to obtain a voucher. The voucher must be redeemed at the Lake Louise ski area. You are not able to board the shuttle from either lake for your first trip. Your Roam transit pass is entirely a separate ticket.
Do we need two separate reservation to park 2 cars at Park and ride or one booking will do for all paxs? What I leaned that Parking is free who reserve shuttle but would like to know how it works. TIA
@yvonneburns3855 if you like to go directly into the pool from your suite, consider the swim up suite. It could also be useful if you prefer to sleep in. The all-inclusive nature of the resort allows access to the restaurants and bars during open hours only. Each restaurant and bar keeps its own hours. There are still some Privilege areas that require additional costs up front and allow further access to some restaurants, bars and premium drinks.
Thank you so much! Now when you buy the bus pass online you still have to pick up a voucher somehwere is that correct? Also can you board any the bus at any time slot once youre ready for the next lake?
@J19901 you are correct that despite buying the pass online, you will still have to pick up the voucher before boarding. Once you have a voucher, it is good to hop on and off through the day.
Hi there Steve, thanks for the video. I'm looking for some advice. I will be staying at Ocean Riviera Paradise with my wife next month. Booked an Eden suite without realizing El Beso existed. Is there any benefit with either section of the resort aside from their relative locations? Such as if I stay with the Eden, will I not be able to access El Beso amenities? And for reference, El Beso is a bit cheaper.
Hi @amlegrice the biggest difference is El Beso is adults only. There is a restaurant and a pool reserved with no children. The Eden has a much nicer location very close to the ocean. It depends if you prefer the adults only or the beach. In my opinion, the beach is full of seaweed and a bit windy so I would select the El Beso. Either way, you will have an excellent vacation. Enjoy!
Great video! We are planning a day trip to Moraine lake from Calgary but all the time slots for shuttle to Moraine lake are fully booked so we are thinking booking the Lake Louise shuttle first and then take the Interlake shuttle from Lake Louise to Moraine Lake as that's included in the ticket. Will there be a lot of people lining up for the connecter shuttle from Lake Louise to Moraine Lake? How much buffer time should we allow us for waiting in line? Thank you!
@jizhaoli2282 it could depend on the weather and possibly the date (busier on weekends and holidays) how long the lineup for the inter lake bus will be. It’s a great idea. I’m thinking arrive 15 minutes early and check the line. Then you have the option to join or to spend a few minutes doing something else.
Thanks for the memories of Little Yoho. As a teenager I went there. My last name is Yoho. When I found the park on a map I had to see what was up. As a city boy from Ohio I was out of my element. The vastness of the forest between the massive mountains gave me my first clue of how small I really am. More, the bear prints in the ground gave me a sense of true terror. In all it was like being brought to life, awake in a new way. That was 47 years ago. Thanks, Art Yoho, from Columbus.
Hi @artyoho thanks for watching. It’s a special place for sure. I really appreciate your comments. You could see more of the area by checking the Yoho National Park playlist on the channel.
Hi, the resort is all-inclusive, meaning that drinks and food are included. There are still some restaurants, bars and pools that are not included. They can be added for an extra cost (Prestige or Platinum rooms).
@@PapaSteveOnTheMove thank you so much! How about booking experience, the travel agency I’m with to pre book elsewhere is so expensive. Do they provide that there? I so want to see the Chichen Itzá. Thank you I’m a new follower! 💃🏼
@natachalada welcome to the channel! I usually book through an agent like Booking.com. I don’t trust airline/resort packages. If the savings are too good to pass up, go ahead and book but ask for an upgrade when you show up. Sometimes a good “tip” to the front desk can get you a better room. It’s a big resort and they want your money. Chichen Itza is well worth the day trip, however it is a long drive or bus ride.
Hi, the hotel does not have a shuttle, but there is a Roam transit stop close by, for an extra cost, otherwise it’s about a 20 minute walk to Banff Ave.
@grahamjones7070 maybe some future content? Roam Transit is the “local” town bus system. It takes you around Banff town and into Canmore and Lake Louise. Many hotels include passes. Best to inquire directly with the hotel or Google Roam Transit Banff for more information.
Our plan is to take the bus Roam from Canmore early in the morning, so once in Banff which bus do I need to take to go at Moraine lake.and Lake Louise?? Thank you
As I have never been to this area, so I have no idea where I can get on the shuttle bus to Moraine Lake and Lake Louise on the same day. Could you please advise me where is the shuttle bus stop I can start ? I might stay in Downtown Banff. Thanks!
Thank you for this, I have booked two afternoon bus trips to lake moraine. I have a question, I understand you can stay pretty much as long as you like but what if I decide to get the last bus back and everyone else has the same idea and there's no room?
Went there in 2014 2015 2016 and now next week 2024..other years went to Jamaica Cayman islands Italy croatia greece but always the best time was at the princess sunset riviera maya Mexico absolutely the most fun
At around 0:28 you state _"if arriving by air drive south from San Francisco"._ Why SFO at all when you can fly directly into Monterey airport (MRY)? Or even San Jose (SJC) is way more convenient?
@donarthiazi2443 that is an excellent comment! You got me there. My home airport does not fly directly to those other airports but yes, you could save time and money flying to SJC or MRY.
@@PapaSteveOnTheMove Hello Steve and thank you for the quick reply. It's very doubtful one could save money by flying into Monterey. I used to live on the Peninsula and I knew no one that regularly used MRY for that reason. We would all drive up to San Jose and fly out from there. SJC is much closer and *way more convenient* than SFO. That's ashame too because MRY is such a cozy and friendly little airport. I first flew there when Uncle Sam sent me to Fort Ord. I fell in love with the Peninsula and always think of it as my real home. I lived there for six years after the army but it's just too expensive. Even in Seaside. Sorry for being so long-winded, thank you for the videos and safe travels!!
