Thank you so much! Finally someone who cares about the bathtub/jacuzzi the ways it do🩷
Great video I gotta try the speedboat!!
Can you give me the link to the paragliding ,,, the parachute on the back of the boat that goes up in the sky
My company is sending me here with my customers in January.
Love black girl sunscreen, will have you looking like a glazed donut!
Y'all did an amazing job with this video! Wishing you much success on your vlogging journey!! I will be here for NYE in a couple weeks and this video helped to get me excited for the visit!
What a beautiful couple!
Like your reviews. Ty
Are there any sort of theme nights? IE: White beach party? Neon party? Black party? Anything on the beach? Looking for a resort for my 40th coming up, and this one peaked my interest due to the size/things to do. I want a party ish atmosphere but not like a Chic or Breathless.
Where would you suggest to go in Mexico as a couple instead?
Love the video bro! We're headed down in a week. Thanks for all the suggestions.
Great review! I plan to take a day trip to Xcaret as well did you book private transport or taxi?
Definitely a bit surprised by this . I have to agree with the other comment where they list that there are several parks you have access to and I am surprised that you didn’t know about the parks because they advertise them everywhere on the resort even on the bus trip on the way there.. Not to mention this place has some of the best service and quality food and drinks and even without considering the parks, the property itself is amazing and very unique, it doesn’t even feel Ike you’re still in Mexico. I’ve gone with a group of 20 seasoned travelers and everyone was blown away. But we are all entitled to our opinions, I just had to say that I was seriously shocked by this review. I’m actually going back again next year! lol!
I could be wrong, but it sounds like you stayed at their resort & got access to all of the parks by doing so. I booked rooms at a different resort and was only able to visit the theme park portion. The experience was by no means a bad one, but just not something I would pay for a 2nd time.
@ gotcha.. yes that is correct I stayed at the Hotel Xcaret Property . I believe they call it the Disneyland of Mexico when referring to all of the parks and the full experience. I think you should go stay there and get the full experience. I really think you’ll enjoy it! 🤗
Can you share what was the name of the room you were in?
The least expensive one. “Jr. Suite Pool View” , we got a free upgrade to the excellence club by booking through their website as well.
Great video and resort review. It would be great to get you to share on Plannin. I couldn't find your email address. Thank you
I am looking for a trip for January 2025 and this popped up. Thank you
I am excited for you, it was such a good time and still feels like a hidden gem for real.
We’re going in December, thanks for the insight! We stayed next door at Excellence El Carmen last year and loved that as well
What did you think of El Carmen? That's a property we strongly considered.
@@LetsGoPhill we went during the off season so it wasn’t crowded at all but we loved it, the rooms really won us over. Not a party resort at all but excellent for relaxing
@@tiyanacoston5479”excellent for relaxing” 🙌🏾 I love it & Thank You
Excellence Punta Cana or Finest for adults?
Excellence. Finest is newer and you can kinda get the adults only vibe, but Excellence has a smaller campus, and caters to adults better
Nice video going to Punta Cana in December this will be our first time there staying at the Royalton Bavaro hope I picked a good choice gotta say Finest looks more appealing.
@@DougGreen14 I was close to going there! We get a Marriott employee discount through a friend, they own this property and it applies. Let me know what you think of it, I’ll add it to my list 👍🏾
I went there in February it is an excellent hotel. Food and drinks were flowing. Had mamajuana for the 1st time. Beautiful pool and service
That Dominican power is something else. 😂
When one orders Mamajuana, the looks the locals give you is priceless 🤣🤣
Phill I'm planning to celebrate my 30th weeding anniversary and after watching this video now I know this is not the place. Thanks a lot 😊👍🏻
Congratulations on 30yrs, that’s wonderful. Glad I could help a little.
I love that area of Mexico, and I'm shopping around for a family Mother's Day trip. Would you have any suggestions
My wife & I really enjoy the excellence properties in the Caribbean. But everything is preference.
Question, did you carry your drone? If yes, what are the laws of carrying one sub 250g?
I travel with my Drone yes, but walk around with a go pro. In the US I have a part 107 license to fly, but I’m not familiar with specific laws of other countries. Since it’s not for commercial use I typically do a quick google search before flying but nothing exhaustive.
What month did you go in?
We are scheduled to go Oct 18. Are you booked to go? Are you worried about the weather like I am?
Are the pools salt water or chlorine
On the H10 ‘Time Share’ Sale, if you can don’t do it, especially on a Second Visit. Did it the First visit and make sure there are some items you can use on the current visit. For us was the Romantic Beach Dinner. Otherwise the say was good.
Sharing
I dont know how or what you researched but all I see here is you did not research correctly.
What room is that with the roof top ?
It’s one of the privilege suites if you get the timeshare offering. There may be other ways to book it which I’m not familiar with.
You only went to one of the parks. Xcaret Mexico is more of an eco park. People who say it’s like Disney usually mean the entire Xcaret park system or they’ve gone to Xplor, Xenses, Xavage , Xel-Ha etc. They’ve gone on the zip lines, drove the atvs or whitewater. If you stay at Hotel Xcaret you get access to all of the parks as part of your all inclusive stay and though it’s expensive the inclusion of transfers between parks, hotel and airport besides the regular all inclusive resort amenities makes it well worth the price and the parks have something for everyone.
Staying at the Hotel Xcaret to get all access & the whole experience might be the way to go. The review videos & articles that I referenced and read before booking did not mention this.
How were the drinks?
Mostly fruity & vacation vibes. Don’t expect top shelf. That being said I thought they were a 8/10 🤷🏾♂️
Hi! Do you know if any adult can go to the el beso adults pool? Or is it only the people who bought the el beso rooms?
I couldn’t say for certain. Our wrist bands did look different than some of the others, but nobody is checking them. You could probably slip right in unnoticed, but I really don’t know 🤷🏾♂️
are the animals monkeys all over
Was the price you were shown online include the all inclusive fees or were there extra charges when you got there?
No hidden fees, it was pretty straight forward
How much was the ticket for xcaret for 1 day trip only? Did you buy the ticket online or at the hotel ocean riviera? Thinking to go there but not sure if its worth it. Hope to hear from you. Thanks
We paid $130 per person purchased online. You can book through the resort but the prices weren’t any better when we were there. While I wouldn’t go back, I do feel going at least once is worth it.
Immediately subscribe. Your hook is 🔥
🙏🏾😢many thanks 🤣🤣
Can you skip the timeshare tour? Is the beach too rocky to get in the ocean to swim?
You don’t have to do the tour. The beach is accessible but nothing spectacular.
I have been there twice and wouldn’t agree with you. Excaret isn’t Disney land. This place is a whole day experience and it is worth every cent we paid. Go read reviews and you will see.
How much is the security deposit when you check in?
Thank for the video What do you say is this good hotel and friendly for families? Thank you
Absolutely, bring your friends & family! That’s what it seems best for.
How much did you add for room upgrade?
The food is awful in every eatery
Dang 🤣🤣, to each his own
Great video you guys. Please tell me this. I have knee issues and going up and down stairs is a problem wirh me. Does this resort have facilities in place (elevators, ramps, golf carts etc) to help me get everywhere I might want to go? (ie: from room to restaurants, beach, pool etc..) Thanks so much, Steve S.
Yes, it was certainly accessible. Our room tower had elevators and there were ramps all over. Also the staff did seem gracious enough to help in certain regards but I don’t want assume.
Agree totally with what you stated in this review. My wife and I went in 2019 when it was still pretty new, thought the food was great everywhere, grounds were laid out well and immaculate. All kinds of stuff to do on the resort (back then, they even had a batting cage, but I doubt it was used much). On the other hand, service was incosnistent, they werent rude, but far from the best service weve had, and we were in Privilege. We had two butlers and may have seen them three times between both. The way the buildings are separated and the number of options you have for pools and daytime places to hang out may be good for choices, but I agree that it hinders a community feel and meeting new people. And, you are spot on with the constant upselling and the push for the H10 tour. But I feel thats the case with the Cancun/Riveria Maya in general...you are being sold or hustled from the moment you get through customs until you arrive at the airport to depart for home. We are going back in two months,
what was the free gift?🤣
It was life lesson, nothing in this life is free 🤣🤣. Seriously: the option of a discount at the resort or $80 travel coupon to spend with the onsite expedia guy.
Very accurate review.... Was at this resort in 2023. Good resort, not great. Almost no beach. Could be deal breaker for most. Only ate at the beach restaurant once. Usually long lines to get seated. Ended up walking all the way back to buffet restaurant. There 5 pools, but you don't have access to all the pools. Made the mistake of not booking El Beso "adults only building". Nice walking narrow/long resort.
Great review, thank you! I'm coming solo mid April from Vancouver. I'll totally join those crazy Canucks in the el best pool singing my ass off and doing shots! can you eat like a second entree or appetizer at the Ala carte restaurants? and what was the dress code like at blue moon? I read "dress shoes". I have no intention of bringing dress shoes to Mexico. nikes or vans ok? When do you get access to the app, and how did you book transport to and from the airport? thank you!
Tennis shoes would be fine (from my experience) but that can always change. I think the goal for most dress codes is to keep an upscale feel to the place just don’t ruin the vibe and I think you’ll be fine. We pre booked transport separately, so I couldn’t answer that one.
Great video, nicely edited for the most part and a fantastic review. I'm sold! Ill be there next week! I'm curious if you know, can i get the privilege's upgrade at the El Beso side? There is no option for it but its something I am interested in.
I see a lot of comments about no AC. Is this accurate? I’m planning a vacation for a family of 5
It was not for us. The air was well conditioned in my room ☺️
I've been reading that there are rocks and larger boulders when trying to get into the water at the beach. is this true? Do i need to take water shoes?
I did not have that experience. There were storms in the area right before we went, so there were some large sand bags to prevent flooding. However, no rocks & I was barefoot. Hope that helps.
