  • Full review of the Paradisus Cancun by Melia resorts. A must stay if you are traveling to Cancun. The video shakes a bit but worth to watch. Spent the day at Isla Mujeres and used Aquaworld for excursions. Also did Jungle Tour. Great time.

    This has got to be the BEST video on TH-cam covering the Paradisus. October 2019 will be our first time there. We are staying in the Royal Service tower 5 area. The entire resort looks amazing. Thanks for the great video!

    • @EdG27
      @EdG27  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      That was by far my favorite part of the resort. Tower 5. Good for you guys. You will love it. Please let me know if you have any questions at all and I would be happy to answer them. I have a couple other videos and vlogs of that place on my TH-cam page.

      You can add the royal service on arrival correct?

    awesome video! thanks for the best tour available of this hotel in awesome resolution. Been here years ago when it was the gran melia, but returning in October. Have been looking for a video of their 1 bedroom suite but cant find one anywhere, not even their website. i may have to do one when i am there! Do you know what their bottled beer selections are? years ago when i went they had all my favorites including stella artois and corona.

    • @EdG27
      @EdG27  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    • @EdG27
      @EdG27  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      amman rawji also we did a tour of two different suites. They are incredible. Awesome views and a large living room with separate bedroom. One was in tower 3 on the 6th floor dead center of hotel and the other was in tower 1 on the 7th floor with a Jacuzzi tub on balcony. You can definitely wheel and deal with prices.

    Excellent review and Tour of the hotel!
    Really enjoyed watching it and getting a good sense of the entire place and your recommendations.
    May I ask: How many days did you and your family stay over? Where did you book your trip? Is it worth purchasing a package of excursions now prior to traveling or waiting until I get there with my family to upgrade rooms and get excursions packages?

    • @EdG27
      @EdG27  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you for the kind words. We always stay for a little over a week and we booked that trip through either Expedia or cheap Caribbean. You’re better off booking excursions right at the resort it is much cheaper and you’ll have peace of mind. The resort was nice but it is awful big. I would highly recommend either the Iberostar Cancun or the real Palace a Peninsula we stayed at both places to to three times and they are both beautiful

    Hi, I have a few questions! I am going here in March! 1. What are your favorite restaurants that are part of the all inclusive price? 2. Are the waves in the ocean really strong/would a not so strong swimmer want to stay away from the ocean? 3. I read some really bad reviews about Aquaworld.. what was your experience? I wanted to do the dolphin excursion!!

      Nope. Not at all. We had Royal Service in Tower 3 and my wife and I had ALL amenities of Royal service in tower 5.

But it worked good cause my sister came also and we took turns watching kids so we can all enjoy royal service from time to time.

    Hi! Great vid. I’m going in October, that resort looks huge! Do you know if it’s possible to upgrade to Royal Service once you get to the hotel or do you really need to do it before you travel? We booked the normal stay but after watching your vid, we are really thinking about upgrading.

    • @EdG27
      @EdG27  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      monito19802000 I am sure you can upgrade at hotel. We booked through Cheap Carribean and noticed the prices drop a lot. So we asked them if we can upgrade from normal to family concierge and it was no problem. I am sure you can also make a deal with the hotel. They are flexible with the prices so try and make a deal. Good luck.

    Hi! This was awesome! Thank you! My husband and I plus our almost 5 year old are going to Paradisus in February for our 10 year anniversary. I'm so excited! Especially after your review. I saw one of your vlogs saying heading back to Connecticut from Oklahoma. We live in Connecticut! Milford. Anyway, we booked a luxury oceanfront suite (the newly renovated rooms). Will call to see how much to upgrade to family concierge. We booked right through Paradisus ..same price as cheaptickets but better room upgrade. Usually we use cheap caribbean. Anyway a question:
    If we don't upgrade to Family Concierge can we buy a bed by the kids pool? I'm sure the service is still great, right? We tip. But would be cool to try adults only and that restaurant while our kid is in the kids club. By the way right now the kids club is closed but they plan to open in January. Fingers crossed. We go on cruises and the kids club for 1-2 hours 2x a day is so helpful to relax a bit.
    Your family looks so fun!! We plan on going on another cruise from NYC next year. You should do a cruise vlog! It's AMAZING. Plus no flights. Right out of NYC so just a drive from CT. There's a channel called Sea Cruisers and they get tens of thousands of likes per cruise vlog. You would be great at it!! (That's the marketer in me talking.)
    Anyway, I subscribed and happy to find another vlogger I like. Stay awesome.

    • @EdG27
      @EdG27  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Global National Royal Service is an upgrade for people traveling with no kids. It's like an adult only pass. The Family Concierge spoils the kids and gives the adults the same amenities as the Royal Service upgrade. So you would have access to tower 5 and also get assigned a buttler which makes all reservations for you.

      tony duong Transportation was $20 round trip thru Cheap Carribean. The food in the was good but the buffet for breakfast gets old. I booked family concierge and got 2 beds free. They charge for beds which is my only complaint. If you upgrade to Royal Service or family concierge beds are free on adult side at tower 5.

    • @EdG27
      @EdG27  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      tony duong how many people are going? Any kids or just adults? If so look into family concierge for the family or Royal Service for adults. Both upgrades are amazing. It's like having a VIP pass in the hotel and you also get a buttler that helps with everything. If you do book and stay there go to the pool area and Aquaworld will take care of all your excursions. For $140 per person and $70 for kids we were able to choose 3 excusions and a full hour at the wave pool across the street. We did jungle tour, pairasailing and took the boat to Isla Mujeres which included food and drinks all day. Incredible deal. Take a look at my other videos of the excursion. Good luck

      Late February.
      Btw, this is one of the best walk through videos I’ve seen on TH-cam. Shaky cam or not, you have insight on the resort.
      Aside from early towel placement, what other tips and tricks do you have for this place?
      Note: we’ll be in royal service

      @@bschmitke Royal Service is amazing. Make sure to eat lunch outside at Royal Service as it's much better than the buffet in hotel. They also have all top shelf liquor inside. You will have a blast.
