Reviews of Passover Hotel Programs?

glad to hear you enjoyed. i was there this year and last and i agree wholeheartedly that they took the food up a notch from previous years. We don't have to convince others about the beauty and serenity of the location we can keep it our own great secret[let everyone else run to the expensive programs and enjoy themselves}.

Pesach HOTELS 2012

To repeat myself since i don't know why my post was removed. i WAS at the Lake Las Vegas program where there WAS shmurah matzo the entire pesach and the food was definitely superior to previous years by a long shot. They made the effort to upgrade the food and it showed. Did not see anyone "upset" about the food though i have seen in previous years. over 1000 people were in attendance and most were repeat customers of theirs from lake las vegas and palm springs program

Passover Program Palm Springs, CA

I went last year to Vegas.We have family that has been going with them for many years ,so we got the lowdown before we went. Food was okay,certainly never went hungry. Hotel staff was very gracious and accomodating which was good as program host is not a people person. the location is beautiful, the hotel spacious and all my kids from young to old were never bored. They have a kids program though hey don't advertise it as such as the program was good-though my son didnt go on a regular basis.THe tea room was nothing super but was open frequently so you could get drinks hot or cold or fruits. There was plenty of lobby and pool seating which as a pesach travel for over 20 years i know is crucial to a kosher program. My parents whoare older actually enjoyed the speakers very much . the entertainment was fair-no major big names. It wasa very nice mixed crowd from modern ashkenazi to very frum sephardim. We are definitely considering going back

Reviews of Passover Hotel Programs?

We sell food and just got a call from the "CHEVRA" last week that they will be opening though they didnt tell us yet where. Btw- has anyone gone with Majestic Retreats last year. We went there several years ago when the hotel was a Sheraton and were not impressed with the hotel or the program. It seems Westin has taken over the hotel and renovated and majestic is claiming it is a NEW hotel. Be that what it may that doesnt guarentee a good program.Any comments?

ACME - Clifton-Passaic

You should head out to the shop rite in clifton it just had a major overhaul of the kosher dept after pesach. many new kosher frozen items and great new grocery products as well as loads of great fun candy for the kids all national brands all kosher not just the kosher private label items.
tomorrow there will be a big contingent of kosher vendors there with the upper management from acme to review the progress of the reset of the dept.

Chalav Yisroel Milk Condensed, Evaporated, Powdered

Bakers choice has just re-released their cholov yisroel condensed milk. it will most likely say condensed cream or something to that effect as new regulations didn't allow them to write condensed milk. any typical kosher grocery should have it{it just came back out about 2 weeks ago} if you don't find it ask them to order it from their distributor

Passover in puerto rico at Gran Melia

Does anyone have any feedback about this program? I know someone that went to this hotel during the year for vacation and was so disappointed they left after 2 days. Curious how the service and program was. Food was from New Star Caterers who usually has delicious food
