Answer 1

You can do it by using the simple String method called .split().
Look at the code below:

elements = ['Mystik Lifestyle (Save 34%)',
'Chalets Chamarel (Adults Only)',
'Andrea Lodge (Save 18%)',
'Hibiscus Beach Resort & Spa (Save 18%)',
'Lagoon Attitude (Adults Only)',
'Ocean V Hotel (Adults Only)']

for element in elements:
    without_text_after_unwanted_character = element.split('(')[0] 
    # This will get everything before the '(' as we splitted
    print(without_text_after_unwanted_character)

# If you want to create a new list the new values, you can do:
clean_list = [x.split('(')[0] for x in elements]

for clean_text in clean_list:
    print(clean_text)
