My wife and I have been going down to the region since early 2000. We have gone up and down from Playa to Puerto Mujeres. Started with all of the Palaces (Cancun, Moon, Sun), then Iberostar Grande, Excellence (3 times), Secrets, and have always made day trips to Isla. Now we have gone over two times and just stayed at PRIVILEGE ALUXES and are now heading back in Oct for a week. Soggy Peso, Bally Hoo , Tiny Gecko etc. Love it over there. Your videos keep us focused. LOL. Keep it up.
Love your channel! Recent Isla lover. 3rd year in a row going…and y’all have really nailed down the content. Be a traveler not a tourist!!! ❤
1st time going to Isla Mujeres we were stuck in Memphis airport via a tornado. By the time we got to Cancun it was LATE.....got lucky to make the last ferry over. No more layover flights....nonstop only for us. So yes get an early flight to travel to Isla Mujeres.
Great tips! You convinced us to try Isla Mujeres, will be staying at Secreto. You have become our defacto travel guides. Keep up the good work!
Looking forward to your thoughts on Barbados.
Awesome video Jen and Eric, wow what a wealth of information. And I agree about skipping the all-inclusives (although they cab be fun at times) but wow the best vacations we’ve had were while renting a place and finding cute restaurants to eat.
We went for the first time in 2023 and stayed at Privileges Aluxes. It offers all inclusive, or not. We chose the all inclusive option, but when we go this year we have decided to not get it, because as they say on here, there are plenty of great places to eat, and quite frankly the food at Aluxes wasn't as good as the food elsewhere on the island. That said your normal room rate at Aluxes does include a breakfast buffet that was excellent, eggs to order etc,
Great information. Love Isla,we have yet to stay overnight. It's on our list! Looking forward to your next video. Happy Birthday Jen! You are gorgeous!!
Excellent upload bud, can't go wrong with shared knowledge. Something everyone can appreciate, keep up the hard work. Cheers
watched all of your videos! keep them coming! what is your favorite place to stay? have stayed at Nautibeach, Sotavento but considering Hotel La Joya this fall. So many choices!!!
Another great video you two. Happy pre birthday Jen. 50 and fine. ❤️😉
Excellent upload bud, wealth of shared knowledge with great editing and overall presentation! Keep it up…
Just found your channel, great incites. We love Isla, we've been coming since 2012 to 2019 staying at Villa Kin, modest hotel but like you mentioned 1k goes a long way on the island, we'll be back in April after a 5 year hiatus, I'm sure we're going to see a lot of changes!!
Oh yeah. It’s so different now. Thanks for watching
Thanks for the video. I am going for the first time in April, and your videos are very informative
Glad it was helpful!
Cultura Cruises is awesome Jose is the best guide! We’ve done three of the five tours and they’re all great!
I’m from Chicago 3 hour 45 minute flight . We go every year. True paradise.
Hi guys, I'm gng to isla for 1st time n started watching your informative enjoyable videos n decided to go with Carm as you mentioned. And might get a gulf cart at prismos but might not bc of drinking n check points. I did take your advice a get a pair of seeways. Silly question I'm coming down april 20 is the water warm? Maybe we'll see you guys there I'll get u both a drink. Thank you,
The water should be plenty warm in April. Thanks for watching. You will definitely enjoy the SeekWay shoes.
I really enjoy your informative videos! On one of your visits to Isla Mujeres, you mentioned that one particular spot didn't accept American credit cards. I wish you would have included whether or not American cash was accepted at that particular spot. I still don't understand if you save money by using pesos, compared to American dollars.
You absolutely save money using pesos because the merchant will never give you a favorable exchange rate. You are correct, we should have expanded on that topic
Loved the isla mujeres video. Thank you. Love the green long sleeve shirt Jen is wearing. Where did she get it?
That is from Tommy Bahama
@@SchmoopsAdventureshey guys how much money/pesos would you recommend to bring for 5/6 nights?
@@mattyp2123 that depends hugely on your habits. Are you fancy foodies that drink a lot of do you spend all day at the beach drinking water and getting tacos for lunch? Think about what you would spend ona week off at home and convert to pesos. Personally we budget $200 usd a day and always have money left over
@@SchmoopsAdventures yeah I knew it could be a solely based off of the individuals question lol but thank you $200 or so a day does sound about right
Where did u get that fish from that they came out with the different sizes and lobster?
Meulle 7
How much pesos do you recommend to bring if your staying for 5-6 nights?
That really depends on how much you spend on the average Jennifer and I budget for $200 a day US and we convert it before we come. We always have a little leftover and we just save it for next time if you’re not drinking much and you’re planning on eating tacos and spending the day on the beach. You can spend a lot less money
Hey Schumpleheim, did I read that map correctly? You'll be in Trinidad and Tobago too?
Tobago! Yes! We are gonna make chocolate
@@SchmoopsAdventures Big E, I put together a short list of recommendations for you guys during your stay in Tobago. I used to travel there quite a bit. It's a special island.
@@SchmoopsAdventures Must Visit Beaches (not in any particular order):
Pigeon Point
English Man’s Bay
Cambleton Bay
Pirate’s Bay (go to Charlottesville and take a short boat ride or walk the path thru the rainforest)
Castara
Store Bay (right next to the airport)
Attractions:
Charlottesville (quaint village/town)
Buccoo Reef (snorkeling)
Nylon Pool (snorkeling)
Various tours of waterfalls, mountainous rainforests etc.
There are many others of course but I’m not sure how much time you have.
Since you guys are foodies, please realize that Trinidad and Tobago is famous worldwide for its very unique cuisine which is the byproduct of its diverse cultural history. The food is amazing.
Must try dishes:
Roti (I recommend the dhalphuri style shell filled with your choice of curried chicken, beef, goat, or shrimp)
Doubles
Bake and Shark
Buljol
Crab and dumplings
Callalou
Pelau
Rum Punch!!!! (this one goes without say. It’s very different than what’s served in North America, and of course they’ll use good Trinidad rum, not Bacardi :) )
@@jacksoncornbreadmcbride6763 that is certainly appreciated because Tobago is giving us the hardest time as far as things to do
@@jacksoncornbreadmcbride6763 we had the rum punch on Bequia made from St. Vincent’s Sunset very, very strong rum
can you just cut the chase and get to the point?
Sorry if 9 minutes was too long. Thanks for watching
