I have a hot tip for you guys in order so that you two can have sounder sleeps at night, no matter where you are staying: My hot tip is this: TAKE soft foam EARPLUGS with a decibel rating of at least 33 db., to cut out 33 db of sound. I use them. They WORK ... like a charm!
My husband and I had the great experience of living in Mexico for 2 years for a work assignment. Our home was in Mexico City and we traveled to most of places that were popular for tourists. We have stayed in several Hotels in Cancun. We enjoyed them very much.I did notice that the extensive use of granite and other stone in the hotels resulted in a very noisy environment due to all of the sounds bouncing off the floors and walls. Whether or not the hotel’s bars are open late or not can make a big difference in how much sleep you can get in your room!
Ahh, to be young and in love. I miss that. It is so adorable when your little honey just has these little cute giggles at everything. Embrace that as long as you can.
I hope that you both can find somewhere to hang your hats, that truly feels like home. Your Bali videos were wonderful, but I can also understand why that very exotic place would not have been ideal especially for your Son, Bear. I want to go to Bali so bad I can taste it.
What a cool all-inclusive!! And I’m glad you guys said that it wasn’t “over the top” because although I haven’t stayed in an all inclusive (yet) , that’s one thing I fear honestly, is it being a little too crazy and so that’s good to know! Also, when the guy was strapping his towels to the chair, my mind immediately thought of Lloyd from that particular podcast episode where it pisses him off almost😂😂. I do understand why it does though, it’s just unnecessary especially when they leave it for a long while, then they’re just taking advantage. But anyway, love you guys!! You guys do such hard work every single day! 😆🤟🏾
Next time try Moon Palace. It will blow your mind. We go there every year for the past decade. You never have to leave the resort, you almost won't want to.
You typically get what you pay for and since everyone has their own desired price point in mind all that really matters is that you're happy in the end.
Haven't commented for a while but still loving your vlogs , especially now that BEAR is with you. Meery Christmas to you both and another fantastic new year Rob G.
New subscriber here! I have already watched three of your videos this morning! I love your down to earth personalities! Stay true to yourselves! Love your content! You make me want to travel now! Like leave tomorrow ha ha ❤🎉
Nice guys! Looks like a great place. I would also highly recommend Haven Riviera Cancun…I’ve done several videos of our stay there and is one of the most gorgeous properties we’ve stayed in Cancun. Check it out if you have the chance. Cheers
hello lloyd and mandy ive been watching you guys for a while and id like to say that yiur content is amazing. In febuary its my brithday so i want to go to cancun for my birthday and our main option for a hotel right now is wyndham altra is it worth it?
I am going for mine in October. Great to have a video that shows some of the things to look forward to. I hope you had a great birthday wherever you stayed.
I travel to Mexico at least 2 times a year, was just there a month ago in Cancun. We're having a family reunion of about 30 people in June 2023. It should be really interesting, considering my family dynamic. Lol! I really enjoy watching your videos, I find them very informative. Oh yeah.. and Mandy, I love your laugh! Merry Christmas to you both!
What a great place the food looked fabulous & we’d be like you want to try it all😄I like it when there’s a different variety of places to eat in an all inclusive. Wow Lloyd did you eat all the breakfast doughnuts? Yes I mix food when eating. I saw the toffee apples you pointed out. As kids we helped our dad make those where he worked for pocket money, £3 was sooo much to us kids & great fun with a few to take home too. Thank you for this vlog never been to Morocco have been asked to go there with friends this year. It’s never been my places to want to visit but this hotel & beach did catch my eye😉
Nah, I’m not really an all-inclusive resort person. My one exception is The Reef 28 in Playa del Carmen. You should check it out. Get the all-inclusive package. It’s the best value out there. We’ve managed to get the all-inclusive package (sign up for the insider rate) anywhere from $135-180/night including all taxes (off-peak season and getting 5th night free). The rooftop pool and bar is the best in Playa. Also check out the hydrotherapy at the spa. And you get access to the Reef Playacar and Reef Coco Beach if you want beach access. Breakfast buffet is the best out there and the restaurants actually serve non-hotel guests too, so they’re good. Calle 28 and 1st Avenida. Do a video there and see if you can get a discount. They offer you points if you post on social media, so you could probably work something out.
Hi guys. Thanks heaps for awsome vids. What is the money transfer card travel thing you guys use? I am going to Viet Nam Febuary and your series was really good for planning my trip :)
Hi. If you have to compare Mexiko to Thailand, what do you think? I mean food, lifestyle, prices and your feelings to be far away from home and to be at that part in the world. Where you feel more it is easy to handle and uncomplicated? Thx from North Coast Germany with ocean, too but cold ;)
Difficult question 🤔 I love both. Currently in Thailand since August and absolutely love it. Been traveling in Thailand many times since 1991 Been to Mexico many times too. Both for business and pleasure. Spend January and February there. Thailand takes the price for food. Cost of living depends. What I really hate about Mexico is the strong American influence. An example is tipping. Mexico wasn’t a tipping place before. But now all major tourist destinations are expecting tips following American standard which I hate. For this reason I’m avoiding certain places in Mexico That being said Mexico still has a lot to offer Lifestyle, infrastructure and beauty I think both countries win 🤷♂️
I would say hands down Thailand and that region their resorts and beaches and people are the gold standard in terms of the vibe and quality of the resorts and pricing etc. As an American I can tell you that for most Americans if they can afford the higher cost of going to Hawaii 11 out of 10 will go to Hawaii. It has more of a tropical island feel. The visitors are generally far less shady as well. Hawaii is like Whole Foods in terms of the quality and atmosphere. Cancun and Mexico resorts is like the Walmart in terms of quality and people. Don’t get me wrong, Walmart is a great place but it’s no Whole Foods. Also considering that you are from Europe, 9/10 Europeans opt to go to either a European island or some resort town in Thailand or Southeast Asia. And the visitors in Cancun are almost always americans. If you’ve been been on an American airline flight with all Americans I think I don’t think I have to say anything about their reputation. Ask any Italian or French what happens when there are more than 10 Americans at their hotel or a restaurant. Everything goes downhill from there. So I would probably recommend if you want to visit the us region go to Hawaii. But ideally I would point you towards some nice resort place in Southeast Asia or Thailand. You will be around some Americans but not 99 percent Americans like in Cancun etc. it will be more in the realm of 2-3 percent maximum. Most foreigners will be from Germany, the U.K. Australia, Swiss. French. Spain, Italy. Poland. Etc. just the fact that you are surrounded by more diverse countries from Europe and Australia etc is worth the experience in terms of being enriched intellectually and socially.
Food Mexico wins. Nice geography tie, altough Mexico is much more diverse. Prices Thailand is 20÷ cheaper. Customer service Thailand wins. People kindness tie. Culture Mexico wins. Both countries are spectacular, nothing in the world compares to them.
Sorry... But you don't always get what you pay for.. We have stayed at 4+ star resorts that have been no better then a Motel 6 .. I feel the star rating system quite OFF when choosing a resort.. Mainly because Not all 4* resorts are the same or evenly price and l find that most 5* get ridiculously over priced for what you get..
Too expensive. I don't think I would eat and drink my money's worth for one night at that price. Looks like you are spending up big before you go travelling in the cute van? Merry Christmas. Have a safe and happy new year.
You guys make good honest vids. We just came back from Oaxaca. I wish I would of watched your vid first. Mandy you’re Gorgeous. Those lips , those eyes. 😍. Congrats on your weeding Lloyd you got a gorgeous wife
Been following you guys almost since beginning. Now it’s time to goodbye. Your channel is becoming too commercial and your focus seems much more on bait click, links, commercial stuff etc. I followed you for the genuine story. But it’s not there anymore. Thanks for loads of fun and interesting content ❤ wish you guys all the best and a merry Christmas 🎄
Thanks for tuning in, sorry to see you go but you have to understand that we have goals and ambitions to achieve and this is our business now, not just a hobby.
@@LloydandMandy my wife and I are also living a digital nomad life. We found a lot of inspiration in your videos earlier. We too need to get our life going 😇
My God...this woman ....if you said to her..."I am sorry to inform you that you have one month to live" ...she would laugh. I really wish she would stop this annoying habit. I like their channel....but this is too much. A lack of self confidence.
@@LloydandMandy I absolutely love your laughter. Watching your videos always makes me happy. Learning about different places around the world and life experiences is fun too. Never stop laughing.

No way, maybe next time!
Hyatt Ziva its the beeeest one… period.
OMG you guys can eat! I guess you are not coming back to Oz. Thinking of retiring there once my old dog has passed on.
it's a great place and especially the food is amazing!
Saya selalu menonton Video anda hehe

Well done with quoting AUD. 😜
cheers!

Can we see sunset from tis resort.
Tell us about the arm tattooos are those native? Why are they so faded, you regret earlier poor decision and got them lasered?
I'm a new subscriber and love the videos I've seen but come on Bruce, take your hat off in a restaurant.
Lol
recommendable?
Hi guys. Thanks heaps for awsome vids. What is the money transfer card travel thing you guys use? I am going to Viet Nam Febuary and your series was really good for planning my trip :)
currently, we're using a Qantas travel money card which earns us points and seems to be good, but I think you need to be Australian.
Xcaret casa de la playa is the best! Not that junk.
best value though?
Hey guys, where is Bear ?
Bear is with us! but during this video he was at his doggy daycare with his friends!
Better $$ value then Las Vegas 😮No resort fee 😅
much better
Did you go to the Grand sunset Princess? That’s the only resort we went to in Mexico and, while the room was great (swimup) the food was …meh
Also…what do you mean by the resorts got “freaky” at night?
