Thanks we are retired and need a cheaper place to visit 🙏✌️🇨🇦

Awesome video as usual, very helpful and informative. Thank you Vanessa!

Just don't drink the water

Awful nasty place

Hi Vanessa can you post for handicap friendly resort

Which resort has that ginormous pool in your opening ?

I’ve been to Cancun before as a stop on a cruise ,but have been a little worried about safety recently. So many of the resorts look amazing though! I did enjoy your “Take Precautions” section. Well stated! Fabulous video as always!

Please make a budget friendly vacation adult only for solo travelers. Thank you.

Seaweed is a huge turnoff. The Caribbean islands give options. If one beach is full of seaweed there are generally always other options without it . Also, unfortunately, Mexico customer service has gone down hill. I am married to a Latina and I get treated bad just because of that by the men. It’s a weird dynamic.

Could you do a list of North American mountain and lake resorts on a budget not sure there are any all exclusive or adult only options. Not always a beach person.

Great vid! Could you name these locations?

Excellent review vanessa❤

Thanks Vanessa for sharing these helpful tips. Those places look so beautiful. 😍 I can feel your passion for traveling in your video. Safe travels to you! 👋 ✈️ Just subscribed! ✅️

I think it really comes down to people’s personal experiences. I was one that was afraid and always said I would never go to Mexico for years. As a a Canadian we always hear of all the bad things that happen to Canadians there etc over the years. My friend and I decided to venture out into Mexico in 2022 first time travel after pandemic. We stayed at Barcelo in Riviera Maya. We loved it and we returned last summer in 2023 and stayed at Bahia. I personally felt safer in Playa Del Carmen than I did within Punta Cana when I first went in 2018. Yes the airport part I agree we experienced the shark tank hall on our first visit and even after all the videos I watched on the airport to prep we still got pressured and tried get us sucked into the time share thing. As well as last year with a worker at the Bahia premiere trying to sell us using a free breakfast to sit on a 3 hour demo we got out of it after. But those few negative experiences wont deter us from going back they just experiences we know for future and not like we were not prepared we all know that stuff is big in Mexico. As Canadians we are known to frequent Cuba which I been 4 times but unfortunately now its a hit and miss there and they are having huge issues trying to come back from pandemic and country is in shambles sadly. So hence why more Canadians flocking to Mexico in the last few years but the price point is a miss as its getting so expensive there even since 2022 its gone up like crazy. Unfortunately besides Cuba which remains dirt cheap compared to every other Caribbean destination there is not much choice anymore for alternative.

In 20+ trips to Mexico I have yet to stay in Cancun. A tall sky rise hotel with 1 small pool and 1 small section of beach doesn't interest me and just the people associated in a smaller foot print. I prefer the large hotels to the south with a huge tree lined beach and multiple pools and lots of lush grounds to walk around. I have had pools to myself and sat on the beach with 20 unoccupied chairs around me. service means nothing to us we can get our own drinks view means nothing to us why sit in a hotel room and look at the view when I can be out and part of the view.

I've chosen Mexico many times for my vacations in the past and raved about it to many friends: wonderful resorts, beaches, history, waterparks, there is a bit of everything for everyone. However, I found that the prices of the luxury resorts have skyrocketed. Cancun / Riviera Maya used to be one of the best bang for your buck. Now, it seems like many Caribbean islands offer great options at comparable or lower prices (ex: Jamaica, Curaçao, DR, etc.). The sargassum is a big factor as well. I will most likely come back in the future, but I am now more interested by exploring the many islands the Caribbean has to offer.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE CANCUN, WONT EVER STOP GOING BACK.

Watching this on the beach at secrets Maroma, I completely agree Cancun is overrated. We did the new automated customs and were plane to outside transportation in 15-20 mins I was pumped! I just put my head down and walk fast through the “shark tank”. But I’ll skip the main Cancun drag

I have ALWAYS thought Cancun was overrated.

Cancun has always been a budget destination for a lot of people & with the cost of flights alone being up over 35% there's no doubt a lot of people just cant afford to go any more. Trump 2024

I love Cancun…living in South Texas it’s so easy to get to. 2 hour flight from Austin and we’re there. We go 2-3 times a year. We only take carry on’s so we have not had any issues at the airport at all. We also use the transportation that the hotel provides (which as been great). Our favorite is hotel is Beloved in Playa Mujeres. It’s small and quiet. We’ve been to several all-inclusives all over but we never get the service that we receive in Mexico. For the money it’s our top choice currently. Great video, thanks!

I agree with your assessments - we travel during Nov -Dec - last two trips were underwhelming - Costs $6k to $7K (flights eating up alot of that) and cant get a hot meal or a decent drink - but properties and staff are fantastic- For us the misses have been Secrets Akumal and Iberostar Grand Pariso - all these hotels bring in these big groups for one night events nearly daily and they take over the entire property - The Cancun airport has probably the worst restroom facilities ever - considering how much money has been spent renovating it - its still 3rd world facilities- even the self serve immigration kiosks were slower than just waiting in line for an officer. Guy Fieri charges $80 for two hamburgers/fries and two pepsi's there :)

We keep going back to Cancun because the level of service is unlike anywhere else we've been in the world. It's just Top Tier and we haven't even been to resorts on the level of Le Blanc.

My favorite Caribbean spot I’ve been almost every island in the Caribbean and it’s still my favorite and the one thing that most people dislike is my favorite part. It’s because it’s built up i love having so many hotel choices and that there really is 3 different areas to give you a different vacation

Great video. Cancun Zona Hoteleira is my favorite beach. I can see the downsides, though.

I know it sounds crazy. But the smoking law changes have had a huge impact. I am a non-smoker. But 6 times per year in Mexico, we talk to a lot to businesses and visitors,

Hi Vanessa...we got back from Excellence El Carmen in May...fantastic holiday and post forthcoming for the group...funny that you had a couple videos about Cancun lately...we looked a few weeks ago for a quick trip over Thanksgiving and the prices were shocking compared to previous trips. We looked today and noticed the hotel rates have fallen 20%+ through Chase Travel, flights to Cancun decreased moderately, and coming home Sunday is still high but what do you expect for a holiday weekend. We booked the trip and will have a beach Thanksgiving...a first for us. Cheers!

Me and my wife have been goin to Cancun for the last 7 years,yearly..The resort price's have increased dramatically, the harassment at the airport getting searched 2 sometimes 3 times on the way in and out... And especially the new tabbacco law not allowing you to bring in your own products..Mexico is My favorite place to vacation but there making it to much of a pain in the ass...Safety has never been an issue..

Yes, it’s overrated! I just came back in May and I’m from the Caribbean, but the amount of people trying to up-sale you is insane. Even at the “5 star” hotels. They kept trying to sell their freaking vacation club to us. Their generic “hand-made” crafts are also wayyyy overpriced. I’d say go to Belize or maybe Costa Rica instead.

Good video, not sure why it didn't come up in my feed 😮 ❤❤❤❤went to the page to see if there were any new videos saw that l missed another one.ty!❤

Your assessment is spot on Vanessa ! Cancun has the largest selection of resorts and so many different areas to stay in. While there are many I places that i desire to go to that i have never been to, Cancun is always an easy trip to plan & book, especially flying in from NCAL. I have been many times. Question- What is the resort you feature at 3:30 and 11:10 mark? It is huge!

Vanessa, first I want to say that I love your videos. I look forward to them every month. I haven't been to Mexico since 2010 when I went to Playa Del Carmen. At that time we felt perfectly safe walking around town at 2AM. I never found the beaches to be very good in Mexico then or in the 5 times I was in Cancun. Weather was Shakey most of the time. What makes it a big NO for me most of all is the safety factor. There are way too many corrupt police. I'd sooner go to the Dominican Republic over Mexico or Jamaica. I would go to Jamaica over Mexico and I'm not super comfortable with any of them. Plus I haven't noticed any price drops for Mexico resorts given the drop off in tourism. Many people would take the chance if the prices were better.

I love cancun❤ went in the 90s . Went recently. Same lovely place. .i cannot go again.....

You reading my mind again lol... Heading to the new Secrets Playa Blanca next week lol

Thank you again Vanessa! I LOVE Cancun and I will be back there later this fall! Your insights are ALWAYS appreciated and respected, keep up the great work! 🙂

We just got back from our annual trip to Live Aqua Cancun. I find the airport a breeze especially if you just do a carry on. We were at the resort within 45 minutes. Cancun is one of our favorite vacation spots

Love your videos 😊. I always find out a new piece of information from you and thr other posters. 🎉

Last week I was looking for a hotel for a solo trip in September. The Mexico hotels were $$ . I have enough points for Delta to get a free flight. I went with Punta Cana . Trying the Paradisus chain this time.

How's safety not a main factor?

Can you do a review Iberostar Cancun

Hi Vanessa, I love your honest opinion videos. More please. Although I want to visit other countries, its the high level of service and quality of the resorts that keep us coming back. The service leaves you feeling like royalty. This year, we are headed to Unico. I hope this will be our last visit to Mexico for the near future. However, if they wow us at Unico, there is a strong possibility we will be back.

its crime and the army doing security
