My favorite Olivia resort. This will be our third time to the resort. The last time we were there, my friends booked at the last minute and got a standard room. It didn't have a balcony, but other than that it was great. So great in fact that they booked the same type of room for this trip ... and they can afford a different room. You will not want to be spending much time in your room anyhow! &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;See you there!&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Christine &lt;br&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/blockquote&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: New to Olivia travel</title><link>http://www.olivia.com/Connect/forums/thread/192759.aspx</link><pubDate>Thu, 10 Jan 2013 17:18:46 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">2a00cdb7-9c37-4fce-9fab-0b523f4ffc3b:192759</guid><dc:creator>kemartin</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://www.olivia.com/Connect/forums/thread/192759.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.olivia.com/Connect/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=183799&amp;PostID=192759</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;P&gt;Kim&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I'm looking forward to celebrating your birthday with you! My name is Kim too! LoL :) If you have questions about the room talk with the Olivia representatives, most of them have been to these resorts and can answer specific questions about comparisons on rooms. From my experience in Puerta Vallerta I can tell you that we went with the cheapest room and not only was it GORGEOUS and spacious......overall we spent very little time in the room. Hope this helps! &lt;/P&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: New to Olivia travel</title><link>http://www.olivia.com/Connect/forums/thread/192758.aspx</link><pubDate>Thu, 10 Jan 2013 17:13:08 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">2a00cdb7-9c37-4fce-9fab-0b523f4ffc3b:192758</guid><dc:creator>kemartin</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://www.olivia.com/Connect/forums/thread/192758.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.olivia.com/Connect/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=183799&amp;PostID=192758</wfw:commentRss><description>WOW!!!

I have been thinking, and thinking, and thinking, and thinking some more about this trip. It would not only be my first Olivia vacation, but it will be my shhhhh....come closer......ok now wait for it....wait for it.... IT WILL BE MY "50TH" BIRTHDAY during the vacation on November 6th! I want to bring in my birthday like it is New Year's Eve and celebrate the whole day...no the whole trip....lol!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have overcome so many obstacles from numerous surgeries for this and that....a wonderful miracle birth of my 6 year old wonderful son, and a stroke. I have completed two Graduate Degrees and now I am working on my Doctorate in Education specializing in Educational Leadership &amp;amp; Management. I am a very blessed woman and would love to bring in my 50th with wonderful surroundings of sandy beaches, calming sounds of water, and new friends that I will have the grand opportunity to meet and call my extended family during this trip and maybe beyond!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I pray I will be able to attend!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;QUESTION: For those that have gone to this resort before.....I can't afford the room I would love to have for my birthday....but wanted to know how the standard rooms were. Can someone enlighten me about that?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Kim :-) &lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: New to Olivia travel</title><link>http://www.olivia.com/Connect/forums/thread/191733.aspx</link><pubDate>Tue, 13 Nov 2012 13:03:49 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">2a00cdb7-9c37-4fce-9fab-0b523f4ffc3b:191733</guid><dc:creator>jaedesmom</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://www.olivia.com/Connect/forums/thread/191733.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.olivia.com/Connect/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=183799&amp;PostID=191733</wfw:commentRss><description>@ Wren- did you call yet??&lt;br&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: New to Olivia travel</title><link>http://www.olivia.com/Connect/forums/thread/191695.aspx</link><pubDate>Sun, 11 Nov 2012 22:50:54 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">2a00cdb7-9c37-4fce-9fab-0b523f4ffc3b:191695</guid><dc:creator>easy2love0123</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://www.olivia.com/Connect/forums/thread/191695.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.olivia.com/Connect/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=183799&amp;PostID=191695</wfw:commentRss><description>Skeskali: Olivia is about feeling free. You are not pressured to do ice breakers. However you will often find yourself being greeted by friendly faces and before you know it you may forget you are an introvert. Olivia is a great experience!</description></item></channel></rss>
