I don't know how long it's been since you were there, but I went mountain biking in the Sedona, AZ area about 10 years ago and it seemed like a nice place. (Too touristy for me, but my threshold for that sort of thing is low.) Recently, I think it was on NPR, I heard a report about Sedona that said the tourists and traffic have pretty much ruined the place. If so, that's very sad.
i was there last summer

awful compared to what it was 15-20 years ago
Not remotely similar vibes, but this is how I'd describe Nashville, too.

I have a feeling that I would describe Nashville a whole hell of a lot like how the dubs (P and T) would describe college sports!
Apt.
I've been twice and agree with your statement.
I would also apply this to Williamsburg Brooklyn 2006 and Williamsburg now.

I will admit it’s a concern of mine as far as Kansas City “having its moment” or somesuch; I don’t really WANT Kansas City’s rough edges to be Disnified into a BWW Chad-aimed bar called The Rough Edges or somesuch.

7 nights.
8400. On a boat.

Or on first search I get 2 rooms here:
https://www.melia.com/en/hotels/mexico/ ... del-carmen
And it costs me 7200 for 7 nights.
I have 1200 to work with ( which could get me a car rental and a fun family excursion of some type easy enough ).

And that's assuming we want 2 rooms instead of a larger one to share.
( dunno your plans on the cruise )

I know which I'd choose.
I didn't bother to open a private window/use Firefox for this search so ever since this post i've been getting a LOT of ads for this specific resort. You're welcome.
