- Exclusive access: Privilege-only areas and benefits (when available)
- Best for celebrations: honeymoons, anniversaries, special occasions

When Standard rooms make more sense

- You're staying a quick 2–3 nights and won't fully use the perks
- You'd rather put budget into excursions (cenotes, Tulum, Cozumel)
