OBH2 Announcement and Plans

[BigHerm]

Can someone post reviews of the rooms? Deluxe Gold, Concert Courtyard, etc. What did you stay in and what will you go with this time?

I want to go so bad! But why does it have to be so expensive!? 1300/person is a nice chunk of change...Maybe next weeks freebie Friday is a room for OBH!

This is definitely a huuuuuge expense, albeit an oh-so-tempting one. I am slightly justifying it because it looks like OBH2 will be the only MMJ dates in the near future. Therefore by putting all my cash eggs in OBH2, I likely won't be missing out on a NYE-type event.  However, one could likely do a different week-long exotic trip and then take a North American MMJ road-trip in the spring for the same cost. Choices, choices...

These reviews and pictures from last year have pretty much sold me. Just gotta budget the fuck out of every dime I make for the next six months. Hmmm...

We stayed in a Deluxe Gold room last time. The room was fine, but pretty far from the stage. We talked about paying the extra for a Deluxe Gold Concert Courtyard room this time, but for an extra $500.00, I think I will save that money and do an extra night.

We originally booked the Platinum Deluxe room and ended up upgrading at the last minute to a Single Sky Terrace. The room would be the only thing that I might complain about as they were literally finishing painting when we walked in.  The views from the terrace were spectacular but overall it was disappointing. There was no furniture, no bathroom cabana (not needed, but it was advertised), and the terrace was filthy both the floors and the hot tub. No cover for the jacuzzi so the jets spit out gravel and bugs. I didn't notice any upgraded liquor either, but again not a big deal because we are mostly beer drinkers. Last year the concert court yard was cheaper and we were definitely jealous of those rooms, shortest walk to the stage. I think we are going to get the cheapest room this year, being there is the most important thing and everything is only a short walk away.

not to be an ass, but if youre in your room for more than a total of 5 hours outside of sleep, youre doing it wrong.

we got the concert courtyard and the location was great.  the room was pretty basic, but like i said up there, you wont be in there much.

So the food was decent? Nit a huge concern, will be going in town for anything real nice. What about booze? Is it all montezuma whisky or are there some decent options that won't make me feel like total ass.

Also, how many people max can go to this?

Love playa, been there a bunch. Just want to get an idea of what a concert basd trip there would be like.

Caps out at 2500 people. I don't think it sold out last year, but I bet it will this go around.

Website says pre and post nights "must be paid at time of booking"

Does that mean you have to pay them off when you make the deposit or pay them off when you make your two payments? Hopefully the latter.

Yes, you have to pay the extra nights in full at time of booking.

the food was probably the only disappointment.  there were a few good restaurants, and honestly the buffets were better than the actual sit down restaurants as far as we were concerned.  it wasnt bad, it just wasnt what i would call great by any stretch.  they had call and premium liquors at all of the bars.  its pretty far from "town" 20-30 minute cab ride.  we never left the resort except on our last night (extra day at the end).

to add on to my above post.  the rooms were basic, but they were pretty nice.  nice bathroom relatively comfortable bed.  that being said ours was 100% complete when we checked in so no issues with that.

Get the cheapest rooms they offer. Like potsy said, if you spend more than 5 hours in there, you're wasting your time.

The food stinks, but that really isnt a concern to me.

You have to pay the extra nights in full at the time of booking the extra nights. You can add the extra nights on later. You do not have to decide to stay extra nights and book them next week, though.

There are too many acts on this in my opinion. Especially with BoH playing 2 shows. 10 shows is too many when only 3 of them are the only band I would travel to Mexico to see. That being said, WoD and Dr. D > anyone who played last year.

I also wish they were re locating, but whatever. I can't wait to go back.

Awesome. Thanks for clearing that up.

We booked 2 rooms last year. One Deluxe Gold and one Rock Platinum with Sky Terrace. Honestly, with as little time we spent in the rooms, I won't book the sky terrace again and will just do 2 deluxe golds (although might do one of them premium deluxe). We have kids so we stayed away from the concert courtyard, but if I didn't, I would be all over the concert courtyard.

Looks like me and the wife are in for this!  Finally...

It means you have to pay for the pre and post nights at the time of booking the pre and post nights. You are not required to book your pre and post nights when you book your room next week. You'll have time to decide if you want pre or post nights.

They don't offer it this year*, but we did an ocean front One Bedroom with the double sky terrace. It was fantastic, but barely finished.

We did spend some time in the rooftop hot top (over looking Cozumel - it was fun to watch the cruse ships leave every evening). That said, it was overindulgent and unnecessary. The only way I'd splurge again is if I got lucky enough to get the primo room = 3rd floor stage front double bedroom suite, carl's side (Jim's side was given to the band/roadies I think).




*We had a two bedroom double sky terrace but our second bedroom was sold to someone else.

I'm a little confused by some of this lingo...what's this 'opt-in' stuff for roll call members? Are they going to try to sell me an opt-in token to access the presale?  Then tell me that there are more tokens than rooms available and I won't be guaranteed a room?  Someone please tell me my reading comprehensions sucks and I don't understand this correctly....
