Just wondering if this service is as great as it sounds.

We enjoyed the service. The check in process was smooth (only one person in the check in line per party) you don't wait long for the bus and having someone else drop you off was much better than doing it yourself. If you have any checked baggage it will arrive at your resort about 3 hours after you do. If any baggage is lost it won't be because of ME, but becuase of the airlines which is a chance with or without ME.

We used ME this time last year when it was still in the fledgling stage and we did have a problem with late arrival of our luggage, but it whisked us to our resort with no problems and I honestly don't think it matters all that much about your flight numbers as long as you have your luggage tagged with the ME labels.

Basically there are fleets of coaches and you are directed to the one that services your resort, when that bus is reasonably full it leaves and another one takes it's place.

As I say it took a long time for our luggage to arrive, but had I followed the advice of other posters who said to pack swimsuits in our hand luggage we would have been ok and could have passed aa happy few hours at the pool.

I know that putting extra stuff in your carry on bags is a bit problematical these days, but if you can I would take some basics (swimsuits maybe extra unies etc) in your carry on and it won't matter if your luggage is a little late arriving.

Have a happy trip - wish we were headed there right now!
