I suggest NOT renting kayaks for the lagoon part in Cancun as it is inhabited by crocodiles, and there have been deaths n injuries , but rarely reported to not scare tourists.
I agree with you. Cancun can be as safe or as dangerous as you make it. Chicago can be dangerous, NYC can be dangerous, Miami can be dangerous, LA can be dangerous. But all can be safe too. Totally agree with you with the drinking and drugs.
I haven't been to NYC or LA since the 90s. Never been to Miami. I USED to go to Chicago all the time. I no longer feel safe there. Even the touristy areas like Miracle Mile are now sketcy. I won't be going back until they get their crime under control.
Going to Cancun for the first time in 2 weeks and am so anxious but excited. Thank you so much for these videos I will be watching the whole Cancun playlist to make sure we’re prepared!😅
This video really helped my anxiety. I took a very planned trip to Iceland, where I did a huge amount of research ahead of time. I haven't done that much research on Cancun/Maya Riviera so this video was super helpful in alleviating my anxieties. I appreciate the mom in your right now. I feel SO much better.
9:43 that’s a great tip there! The last time my husband and I were in isla mujeres, the sneaky shop owner over charged us A LOT on purpose (we negotiated the price in USD and they charged us in pesos which is why I didn’t notice). When we got back and went through the credit card bill, we realized we were cheated so we called the bank and disputed the charge. The bank was able to cancel the charge for us after we explained what had happened. Always check the conversion rate and use a credit card in case you need to dispute!
Tipping is not needed honestly for what thr staff arr alread getting paid to do..yea for spa and stuff def tipping helps..but other than that you must be a staff
British Canadian and I very much dislike this tipping topic in Cancun..if one has saved every single penny they could to book an all inclusive package, we shouldnt be thinking of adding like 50$ to the plan just for the sake of tipping for staff who are being underpayed by the hotel...not my problem..it seems as though im paying the hotel and also compensating the staff through random tips for what they must do..like i know for drinks and stuff it makes sense but if one is not taking any drinks and is staying on the resort cafe or restaurants it sounds very unnecessary to me to have to tip a person who is bringing me my dinner..believe me I would pick it up myself if i could..i simple dont like this tipping idea..i shouldnt be compensating both the staff and the hotel at least in a 5 star all inclusive where we hardly saved to get to and relax
Yes every culture is different! But my philosophy if I am going to go visit another country and culture I want to know what the dos and donts are just like if someone came to Canada. Really you would only need $20 more per day which isn’t a lot more! But at the end of the day you should just make the choice on what you believe and feel good about it and not leave negative comments about it. I’m it judging anyone if they don’t tip. Everyone has a right to live and vacation the way they want!! Cheers!:)
Bring a Yeti style tumbler with a straw. The bar tenders will make your favorite frozen cocktail and directly fill up the tumbler. Allows you to keep your drink frozen longer and not have to suck it down before it melts.

We just got back from 5 days in CANCUN. We stayed at EXCELLENCE RIVIERA -We did CLUB level. The experience was unbelievable! First off, it is immaculate, clean, staff are FANTASTIC and can’t say enough about that. The beach was beautiful but water was slightly brown, lil sea weed and algae, time of year they said. We had to go to Isla Mujeras Island to see the bluest water I have ever seen. It was truly amazing and we took huge sail boat over to island which was awesome. We had Club Jr Suite Ocean View and the room was amazing. It was 90 plus with humidity so the 65* in room was lovely. Several pools and club has own special restaurants and pools but we found ourselves with the younger and older crowds of pool where the swim up bar was great. The main “Club” only restaurant MAGNA was incredible and we ate a Tomahawk steak and Lobster. Remember we wanted “All Inclusive” so whatever we wanted to eat “Free” room service which we did several times “Free”. Listen to me lol no need to go anywhere else, EXCELLENCE was amazing. It was one of the best times we ever had at any place. Not far from airport, and you are catered too. You don’t have to TIP but we had plenty of pesos and american money and tips did push the catering over the top. ALSO SHOWS every day and night, bands, fun things to do, we tried archery , they have it all and lastly don’t miss the “COCO LOCOS’ out on the beach ! What a drink that was in an actual coconut.
@3Days3Noches my son just sent me your video and it was EXACTLY what I needed to see! Thank you sooo very much for the detailed information! I hope it's okay that I join your FB Group as well! 😊
I watched a lot of your videos before I went to Cancun. They were extremely helpful. One thing that wasn't mentioned that became a problem before I realized it was...the vacation club. Do not fall for those. They are extremely hard to get out of if you miss the window to cancel it. Its also extremely expensive. Id love to see a video on this topic unless you've done one already and I just missed it. Great channel though. Thanks for all your "Hard Work" :)
Thank you so much for watching!!! That is such a great point!! I talk about it in the Grand at Moon Palace videos but in the general videos it would have been a good idea to mention!!! Thanks for mentioning it here!!!
what a great video! another tip - I also land up saving up on unnecessary expenses like atm fees etc in Mexico - using apps like ATM Fee Saver - it helps find atms abroad with no fees or lower fees than others along with withdrawal limits etc. worth adding to your list of tricks!
My passport and my husband's passport came in two weeks. Not 8 months that's crazy! Lol we submitted everything July 2nd and received our passports by July 22nd.
Hello, really need your suggestion on Cancun, Mexico trip. I am planning a trip to Cancun in the first week of September with my wife and 2 yrs old daughter. I have below questions: Do you think that there would be pretty less number of tourists in the resort during this time? Can we go and enjoy the beach during this period or is it not swimmable? Does it rain most of the time in September? Does the pool party and other fun activities happen in the resort during September or is it closed? Really appreciate your help for these answers. Thanks again. Your videos are amazing😍
Sorry I thought my response went through! There should be less tourists during that time but Cancun is always busy. The beach depends on where you will be! And it can be beautiful weather in September it’s just hot or miss and usually everything is open but depends on the resort
Thank you so very much for this video! It’s really helpful and informative for me to know about how to make the most best of the trip. I’m going to Cancun for spring break in 3-4 weeks so I will definitely check out the area as a solo traveler
Great video, you covered pretty much everything a first timer needs to know... Just keep in mind that if your local currency is not dollars do not bring dollars, you'll be paying double exchange (from your currency to dollars and dollars to pesos) because at stores they use exchange rates that are not really convenient for tourists
First time going to Cancun, I am confused with many hotels around the area, we are late sixty's, enjoy the beaches and shopping. We are rookies in Mexico, loved Hawaii, but I know it's a different world.
Love your videos, we are leaving in February, 2024 to Secret Devine in Cancun, all inclusive, Junior Suite, will let you know how it went@@3Days3Noches
Hi! I really enjoy your videos! They are so helpful, and I have been binge-watching them before my trip next week. What is your advice on carrying identification? Do you make a copy of your passport, use your home country ID, or carry around your passport?
Another tip for traveling snacks..you're not allowed to bring in uneaten fruit or jerky into Mexico from wherever you came apparently.. I learned the hard way when a dog with a military agent almost stopped me and I was confused about what because surely I thought they didn't think I had drugs on me lol when they let me go by I realized I had jerky and the dog smelled it haha 😂 still passed em 😅 but just so you don't get into some kinda trouble and wait longer to get to your ride I suggest to eat it all/ toss it lol
Nice info and tips. What hotel has the calmest and swimmable water? We like Cabo San Lucas beach however, we plan to visit the beach of Cancun next year?
Great video! Are the ATM machines safe at Terminal 3 Arrivals to take out Pesos with a debit card? Or would you recommend using the debit card at the money exchange kiosk instead? Thanks!
I knowwww! You have to figure out your must haves first and budget is a huge factor. I did a video called stop the overwhelm that helps narrow it down. But cost is going to eliminate alot
I’m planning my first ever trip to Cancun for next year. What’s the best way to get transportation from your resort to other places and excursions like the hotel zone?
it's sad that a beautiful place like this is full of crooks and bad water. My family kept telling me not to go here but I tried to explain to them that it might be safe again at some point and they wouldn't listen to me, they made it sound like they wanted to crush my hopes and dreams. I just wish every place you travel to could be safe
Big tip; Once you get to the "fishbowl" at the airport, Keep your eyes on the door in front of you and do not talk to anyone until you get outside to be picked up by your cab.
I haven’t been to those!! Hyatt Ziva is absolutely the best so far I’ve been to for families! It’s pricey but worth it and my subscribers will get a special discount. Join my Facebook group and ask about the other properties www.3days3noches.com
Bring a waterproof phone case. Can't tell you how many folks I know forget about it being in their pocket when just wading in the sea and a wave comes by.
1) how much does nocho charge for a taxi from the hotel zone port to get to isla to moon palace? 2) whuch beaches hace the blue water duribg this sea grass time? Heading the end of oct for my 20th wedding anniversary
Hi!! You have to contact Nacho for quotes. It’s all dependent on how many people and time of day etc. usually north of hotel zone like Punta Cancun etc and hotel zone area
I would do it in advance. Sometimes they sell out. You can search some here and often you can book now and pay later. www.viator.com/?pid=P00070138&mcid=42383&medium=link&medium_version=selector
I am packing carry on only. How much sunscreen should I pack for myself? Hard to tell with travel sized items.... or should I just check over the money and buy some while on resort?
I like your videos are a very source of information for first timer travelling . I’m going to cancun 2w of April 2023 and i follow all your videos and tips what to do and not I hired nacho transfer after your advice Thanks
Hi, I just want to let you know your videos are very informative. I went to Dominican republic with my fiancé back in February and before we booked our trip, we watched a couple of your videos and it helped us tremendously. Now, we are considering going to Mexico in July, but wanted to ask you a few questions before hand. Our first question is do you have to complete an entry and exit form to enter Mexico? Our second question is what is your honest opinion on staying at a brand new resort? lastly, what transportation companies in Mexico do you recommend ?
Ty so much! That’s my hope that people find them informative and helpful. You do not have to fill out any forms going to departing. Staying at a brand new resort is great for a discount but be prepared for chaos lol!! We use www.nachotourscancun.com
Hey good info, but how do you get all your clothes and personal items without a checked bag If you need clothes for a whole week? Not all airline allow a carry on and even carry on bags can be too small. Also is it better to book a hotel for one or two nights online and then go in person to hotels when I’m down there for better rates?
Ty so much! I do several packing videos too!! You have to repurpose stuff and use the laundry service. You can’t usually walk in to resorts because there is security waiting to check you in. Maybe in the hotel zone you could. I’ve never tried that
Oh my, 6-8 months to get passport!? They told my husband 6 weeks max a month ago. Im wondering if we need to cancel our Sept trip. It's his first time out of the county. We are so excited but thinking we may not be going for at least 6 months now. Your videos are SO HELPFUL! Thank you! I'd love to see EPM vs Xcaret! We are really torn btwn the two. Maybe you have and I just missed it. So glad I stumbled upon your vids on TikTok! ❤
When did you get it??? Hopefully it will come soon! Thank you sooo much. I haven’t been to either of those although Xcaret is on the list! I bet some of our members on FB have and you could ask there!!m.facebook.com/groups/572572378298675/?ref=share&mibextid=SDPelY
Went in April for the first time and I'm not impressed. It's safe but it's more of the quality. We stayed in punta cancun where the main attractions were. The public beach was crowded, full of locals, if you went further afield on the Caribbean side, the beach is quite dangerous not safe to swim in with big waves and dip deep right at the shore. Too many hawkers trying to sell you something, restaurants are expensive, in some cases very hard to communicate as most locals can't speak English even a little. The resorts are huge, isolated and quite a ways off from the center on top of being very expensive. We prefer Hawaii, Waikiki in particular, we'd rather go back there or somewhere else like Grand Cayman where the beach is gloriously calm, warm & uncrowded.
I have a trip to cancun coming up , following your videos I am planning to book Nacho taxi for our transportation from airport to our resort .. any tips which you can share ?
Hi! I’m a first timer going to Mexico at the end of September through beginning of October. Have you been during this time if so is the weather nice? I’ve heard it will be Be nice but since you’ve been so many times if you would tell me I would greatly appreciate it ❤
Hi, my family are travelling to Cancun from England for the first time this year , and I found your video very informative. If I may ask a question about safety as you touched on this- is it ok to walk around the streets during the day around the resort ( we are staring at Margaritaville)? Thank you!
Thanks for watching the videos! You could take a taxi into Hotel Zone or Playa Del Carmen both are safe but just a lot of hustlers trying to sell you stuff.
Awesome video! Quick question, do you think Cancun is too far for a Friday - Sun trip? Im curious whether booking a weekend stay at an all inclusive resort is too short a time.
Thank you!!!! That’s what we created our channel on 3 Days 3nights!!! I personally think as long as it’s no more than 4-5 hour flight it’s def worth it! Here’s a video I did on it! It’s for 3 nights but 2 is fine too. We went to San Juan for 2 nights th-cam.com/video/SlvyrXEw8LQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=2IOLPXjKojZ6OSWL
Hi I’m planning on going to Cancun taking my mom first time , Any recommendations for nice resort with good beaches and pools ? I was thinking of iberostar coral level …
@3Days3Noches Great video! Thanks for all the tips. Had a question. Will be traveling with my hubby & 4 kids to an all inclusive hotel. We will be staying in 2 rooms , do we get 6 wrist bands for everyone including the kids?
@@3Days3Noches Thanks for your quick response. Do we need to mention that 6 people will be staying in the 2 rooms when booking or do we just book the 2 rooms and they’l just give whoever is there wrist bands?
@@3Days3Noches ok cool. I thought maybe cos they were kids I didn’t have to name them but could get wristbands for them when we get there. Thanks a lot ! I appreciate your advice! 🙏❤️❤️
Hi friends . May i ask you what website are you bought your ticket ( air and hotel all included ) and do you have something secrets . thanks and have a great day
I didn’t like GF Coral but a friend of mine loved Condesa. Never used ADO bus. Always use Private transportation. For me it’s not worth saving the money.
Very nice, do you think mid of August is good time to go for vacation to Csncun with family and have you done any video on all inclusive family resort if yes please provide the link thnx
Thanks! The only one I’ve been to is The Grand at Moon Palace. The beach is not swimmable there though!! August is good. We went last august. Very hot lol. The Grand at Moon Palace th-cam.com/play/PLtrRYnAI0ncqct_6wVElukEDSbC0ewUUd.html
Which ferry? The one for Cozumel? On a sat evening the traffic should not be as bad so you should be able to. If it takes you an hour to get out of the airport then an hour and a half to get there you still have plenty of time.
Thank you for these fantastic videos. They have been super helpful as I'm planning my first trip to cancun for my Honeymoon. We are very interested in finding an all inclusive that has a beach with very calm waters that you can easily swin in. Do you have any suggestions for hotels we should look for in the hotel zone, Isla Mujeres or Cozumel?
Thanks for watching. Totally depends on budget!!! Have you considered Playa Mujeres?? Beloved is supposed to be perfect! Hotel zone has rough waters. Secrets Impressions just opened on Isla Mujeres and is supposed to amazing but very pricey.
My dad said it was dangerous jaja😂 but I said it's the same everywhere longest you ain't no and steps and be with God ain't nothing gonna happen to you
I brought about $500 dollars in cash and lots of singles but that was way too much I didn't use nearly that much at all. But I would safely bring it. Mainly singles if you choose to tip.
I’m planning a trip to Cancún, Quintana Roo, Mexico from the end of June into July. The beach experience is a priority for me. Do you know if the beaches in that area are good?
It’s a Airbnb in the El Rey area. It’s more south of the hotel zone. I don’t want to stay at an all-inclusive resort because I want to do a lot of exploring while I’m down there. I’m also going for 2 weeks so it could get pretty pricey going to an all-inclusive.
First, thank you! Your videos are amazing!! I don’t think I’ve heard you speak about the Mexico Tourist Card? Or this thing we’re supposed to fill out online prior to getting to the Cancun airport. Is this real, and if so, how do we fill it out online? Thanks!
I will be going with my 11 year old son for thinksgiving week. The last day of our 4-day, 5-night stay is a 7:30pm flight, so we will check in in the morning and go to Isle of Mujeres. Which hotels are best for this kind of itinerary and do they all offer shuttle bus service? Now. I was thinking about the royal splash and wyndham alltra, but do you have any recommendations? Thanks
@@3Days3Noches Mexico 🇲🇽 and USA 🇺🇸 I so want to go this year , thinking San Diego and maybe San Francisco not sure out of the 2 and cancun in January , definitely 💯 love your videos
We haven’t been but you can ask in our facebook group! I think the beach has a lot of seaweed m.facebook.com/groups/572572378298675/?ref=share&mibextid=SDPelY
Hi! You should join our FB group and ask I think a few people have been there before. I’ve started getting away from the more budget friendly ones because you have to fight for chairs and the drinks aren’t always the best. Although they tend to be more fun. I heard Royalton Chic is fun
If beach isn’t a priority then Royalton Splash, the moon Palace, Finest z playa Mujeres. The hotel zone has some too and the beach is much nicer but rough surf
I suggest NOT renting kayaks for the lagoon part in Cancun as it is inhabited by crocodiles, and there have been deaths n injuries , but rarely reported to not scare tourists.
I agree with you. Cancun can be as safe or as dangerous as you make it. Chicago can be dangerous, NYC can be dangerous, Miami can be dangerous, LA can be dangerous. But all can be safe too. Totally agree with you with the drinking and drugs.
Thank you for watching
I haven't been to NYC or LA since the 90s. Never been to Miami. I USED to go to Chicago all the time. I no longer feel safe there. Even the touristy areas like Miracle Mile are now sketcy. I won't be going back until they get their crime under control.
Chicago can be a lot more dangerous than cancun!!!
Going to Cancun for the first time in 2 weeks and am so anxious but excited. Thank you so much for these videos I will be watching the whole Cancun playlist to make sure we’re prepared!😅

Or learn freaking Spanish
Tipping is so important! The resort staff appreciate it more than you know. And they’ll treat you so well!!
Yes!! I feel sad when people get so angry about tipping but understand it may be a cultural thing.

Hello, really need your suggestion on Cancun, Mexico trip. I am planning a trip to Cancun in the first week of September with my wife and 2 yrs old daughter. I have below questions:

@@3Days3Noches No, it was just the TSA line right when you land, took so long to get through it.
@manalincanada ugh!!!
This is so helpful! Thank you
Ty for watching!
Nice info and tips. What hotel has the calmest and swimmable water? We like Cabo San Lucas beach however, we plan to visit the beach of Cancun next year?
I would look at Playa Mujeres area or in the hotel zone Hyatt Ziva Ty for watching
Question : could you please do video on the top excursions in Cancun? Thank you kindly!
I did this one awhile back! Cancun, Mexico | 5 BEST Day Trips | Things to Do in Cancun
th-cam.com/video/PCXrdhCHEY4/w-d-xo.html
Definitely follow the sunburn rule 💀. I got 2nd degree sunburn in Cancun and it was very very sad. Sunscreen guys!
Ugh!!
Great video! Are the ATM machines safe at Terminal 3 Arrivals to take out Pesos with a debit card? Or would you recommend using the debit card at the money exchange kiosk instead? Thanks!
Ty! Great question. My hunch is Pesos! I’ll find out in a few weeks when I’m there
thanks for sharing, there are actually so many all-inclusive restaurants that we are confused where to go with a toddler
I knowwww! You have to figure out your must haves first and budget is a huge factor. I did a video called stop the overwhelm that helps narrow it down. But cost is going to eliminate alot
I’ve been to Cancun many times, and bring lots of tip money!!!
🌞🌞🌞
I’m planning my first ever trip to Cancun for next year. What’s the best way to get transportation from your resort to other places and excursions like the hotel zone?
Where are you staying!? I always do private transportation personally unless I’m in the hotel zone staying and they have $1 bus
it's sad that a beautiful place like this is full of crooks and bad water. My family kept telling me not to go here but I tried to explain to them that it might be safe again at some point and they wouldn't listen to me, they made it sound like they wanted to crush my hopes and dreams. I just wish every place you travel to could be safe
Awwww nothing is considered safe anymore so just go have fun while you’re here
@@3Days3Noches ok but it will be years before I can afford this trip
Thank you for all the tips! Great video😁
Awww thank you!!
We're staying in playa paraiso but wanted to take a day trip to cancun.
Suggestions on where to go, what to see?
Hi! You could take the Ferry over to Isla Mujeres or do an excursion docs.google.com/document/d/1RJNCmoDPqcMkaLmFL2tLhN4VCAAWGOJrSiQeJx2xMHc/edit
Big tip; Once you get to the "fishbowl" at the airport, Keep your eyes on the door in front of you and do not talk to anyone until you get outside to be picked up by your cab.
Yes exactly!!!
Grand Palladium Kantenah Resort & Spa VS Grand Sirenis Riviera Maya Resort & Spa. Your recommendation for family of 4 (teen and preteen).
I haven’t been to those!! Hyatt Ziva is absolutely the best so far I’ve been to for families! It’s pricey but worth it and my subscribers will get a special discount. Join my Facebook group and ask about the other properties www.3days3noches.com
Bring a waterproof phone case. Can't tell you how many folks I know forget about it being in their pocket when just wading in the sea and a wave comes by.
Great point!!!! Thank you!
1) how much does nocho charge for a taxi from the hotel zone port to get to isla to moon palace? 2) whuch beaches hace the blue water duribg this sea grass time? Heading the end of oct for my 20th wedding anniversary
Hi!! You have to contact Nacho for quotes. It’s all dependent on how many people and time of day etc. usually north of hotel zone like Punta Cancun etc and hotel zone area
We are going in spring this year and do we need to book tours in advance through online or is it much cheaper there or at hotel ?
I would do it in advance. Sometimes they sell out. You can search some here and often you can book now and pay later. www.viator.com/?pid=P00070138&mcid=42383&medium=link&medium_version=selector
I am packing carry on only. How much sunscreen should I pack for myself? Hard to tell with travel sized items.... or should I just check over the money and buy some while on resort?
I usually bring two small spray cans and then a small lotion one for my face.
I like your videos are a very source of information for first timer travelling . I’m going to cancun 2w of April 2023 and i follow all your videos and tips what to do and not I hired nacho transfer after your advice
Thanks
Omg thank you so much!!! That’s my only hope is that you all avoid some of the same mistakes that we have made. Have an amazing trip!!
Going for the first time in July!
So fun!!!
Hi, I just want to let you know your videos are very informative. I went to Dominican republic with my fiancé back in February and before we booked our trip, we watched a couple of your videos and it helped us tremendously. Now, we are considering going to Mexico in July, but wanted to ask you a few questions before hand. Our first question is do you have to complete an entry and exit form to enter Mexico? Our second question is what is your honest opinion on staying at a brand new resort? lastly, what transportation companies in Mexico do you recommend ?
Ty so much! That’s my hope that people find them informative and helpful. You do not have to fill out any forms going to departing. Staying at a brand new resort is great for a discount but be prepared for chaos lol!! We use www.nachotourscancun.com
Thanks for mentioning the swinger scene. I texted my husband immediately 😇
😂😂
Hey good info, but how do you get all your clothes and personal items without a checked bag If you need clothes for a whole week? Not all airline allow a carry on and even carry on bags can be too small.
Also is it better to book a hotel for one or two nights online and then go in person to hotels when I’m down there for better rates?
Ty so much! I do several packing videos too!! You have to repurpose stuff and use the laundry service. You can’t usually walk in to resorts because there is security waiting to check you in. Maybe in the hotel zone you could. I’ve never tried that
Oh my, 6-8 months to get passport!? They told my husband 6 weeks max a month ago. Im wondering if we need to cancel our Sept trip. It's his first time out of the county. We are so excited but thinking we may not be going for at least 6 months now.
Your videos are SO HELPFUL! Thank you! I'd love to see EPM vs Xcaret! We are really torn btwn the two. Maybe you have and I just missed it. So glad I stumbled upon your vids on TikTok! ❤
When did you get it??? Hopefully it will come soon! Thank you sooo much. I haven’t been to either of those although Xcaret is on the list! I bet some of our members on FB have and you could ask there!!m.facebook.com/groups/572572378298675/?ref=share&mibextid=SDPelY
You'll be fine. I expedited mine and it took about 8 weeks.
Went in April for the first time and I'm not impressed. It's safe but it's more of the quality. We stayed in punta cancun where the main attractions were. The public beach was crowded, full of locals, if you went further afield on the Caribbean side, the beach is quite dangerous not safe to swim in with big waves and dip deep right at the shore. Too many hawkers trying to sell you something, restaurants are expensive, in some cases very hard to communicate as most locals can't speak English even a little. The resorts are huge, isolated and quite a ways off from the center on top of being very expensive. We prefer Hawaii, Waikiki in particular, we'd rather go back there or somewhere else like Grand Cayman where the beach is gloriously calm, warm & uncrowded.
Yes it’s definitely touristy! But more affordable the. All of the other places you mentioned. So good for entry level international travel!
I have a trip to cancun coming up , following your videos I am planning to book Nacho taxi for our transportation from airport to our resort .. any tips which you can share ?
Thanks for watching!! Tips for booking with Nacho?? Check out our link tree that has a ton of info. linktr.ee/3days3noches
Hi! I’m a first timer going to Mexico at the end of September through beginning of October. Have you been during this time if so is the weather nice? I’ve heard it will be Be nice but since you’ve been so many times if you would tell me I would greatly appreciate it ❤
Hi! That is hurricane season! So it can be very nice but hurricanes also can happen
Hi, my family are travelling to Cancun from England for the first time this year , and I found your video very informative. If I may ask a question about safety as you touched on this- is it ok to walk around the streets during the day around the resort ( we are staring at Margaritaville)? Thank you!
It’s very safe but I don’t think Margaritaville is near one of the towns you can walk around?
@@3Days3Noches Ok , thank you.
Thanks for watching the videos! You could take a taxi into Hotel Zone or Playa Del Carmen both are safe but just a lot of hustlers trying to sell you stuff.
Awesome video! Quick question, do you think Cancun is too far for a Friday - Sun trip? Im curious whether booking a weekend stay at an all inclusive resort is too short a time.
Thank you!!!! That’s what we created our channel on 3 Days 3nights!!! I personally think as long as it’s no more than 4-5 hour flight it’s def worth it! Here’s a video I did on it! It’s for 3 nights but 2 is fine too. We went to San Juan for 2 nights th-cam.com/video/SlvyrXEw8LQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=2IOLPXjKojZ6OSWL

first timer going to Cancun for my 25th bday. All inclusive, ADULT only hotels with a GREAT party vibe?
Yayyy. Do you care about a nice beach??
Hi I’m planning on going to Cancun taking my mom first time ,
Any recommendations for nice resort with good beaches and pools ?
I was thinking of iberostar coral level …
You should join our FB group. But yes that’s a good 4 star. Great bang for the buck. Many resorts say they are 5 star but are not.
Great review, my wife aren’t the party types and like the quiet resorts , any recommendations? .
It so depends on budget!!! Luxury look at Le Blanc. Budget look at Barcelo Maya Riviera
@@3Days3Noches thank you so much I really appreciate it . Cheers 🇨🇦
@mikepoint4717 join our Facebook group too and ask!
@3Days3Noches Great video! Thanks for all the tips. Had a question. Will be traveling with my hubby & 4 kids to an all inclusive hotel. We will be staying in 2 rooms , do we get 6 wrist bands for everyone including the kids?
Ty for watching 😍. Yes you will get wrist bands usually for everyone!!
@@3Days3Noches Thanks for your quick response. Do we need to mention that 6 people will be staying in the 2 rooms when booking or do we just book the 2 rooms and they’l just give whoever is there wrist bands?
@heavychic100 usually when you book you have book the names of the people in each room but then you can switch once you’re checked in
@@3Days3Noches ok cool. I thought maybe cos they were kids I didn’t have to name them but could get wristbands for them when we get there.
Thanks a lot ! I appreciate your advice! 🙏❤️❤️
Thanks for your great work. E-Passport must have been great, Line was so long went through the original lines flew by
Thanks for watching!!
Hi friends . May i ask you what website are you bought your ticket ( air and hotel all included ) and do you have something secrets . thanks and have a great day
We sometimes do it ourselves direct through the airline or resort or use our travel agent host. Email us at 3days3noches@gmail.com
Hi quick question. roughly, around how much is the airport to hotel transfer (hotel zone) roundtrip? With nacho tours
It totally depends on number of people. Many people comment that he’s less
Do you recommend Fiesta American Condesa hotel ? Also you use Ado bus before ?
I didn’t like GF Coral but a friend of mine loved Condesa. Never used ADO bus. Always use Private transportation. For me it’s not worth saving the money.
Thank you this was very informative
Ty for watching!!
Very nice, do you think mid of August is good time to go for vacation to Csncun with family and have you done any video on all inclusive family resort if yes please provide the link thnx
Thanks! The only one I’ve been to is The Grand at Moon Palace. The beach is not swimmable there though!! August is good. We went last august. Very hot lol. The Grand at Moon Palace

Thanks for the tips is September a good time and could you recommend a all inclusive hotel?
September could be okay but it’s the start of hurricane season. It def depends on your budget.
if i land at 6:30pm on a saturday and i need to make the ferry by 930 will i make it ? and i would take a privet shuttle as well
Which ferry? The one for Cozumel? On a sat evening the traffic should not be as bad so you should be able to. If it takes you an hour to get out of the airport then an hour and a half to get there you still have plenty of time.
Thank you so much for your videos. We are going in May. I'm a little concerned about the seaweed but will make the best of it.
Thank you for watching. Yes!!! That’s a great outlook 🌞
How much money should I bring for tips on a week long vacation at an all inclusive? How much should I tip the service workers?
We usually bring around $10-20 a day. I out the tipping guide in the description too:)
Do not over indulge on food - so true
Thank you for these fantastic videos. They have been super helpful as I'm planning my first trip to cancun for my Honeymoon.
We are very interested in finding an all inclusive that has a beach with very calm waters that you can easily swin in. Do you have any suggestions for hotels we should look for in the hotel zone, Isla Mujeres or Cozumel?
Thanks for watching. Totally depends on budget!!! Have you considered Playa Mujeres?? Beloved is supposed to be perfect! Hotel zone has rough waters. Secrets Impressions just opened on Isla Mujeres and is supposed to amazing but very pricey.
My dad said it was dangerous jaja😂 but I said it's the same everywhere longest you ain't no and steps and be with God ain't nothing gonna happen to you
It’s not
What do you recommend as far as cash? Bring a good amount of dollars? Or take out cash in mexico?
I brought about $500 dollars in cash and lots of singles but that was way too much I didn't use nearly that much at all. But I would safely bring it. Mainly singles if you choose to tip.
I would bring cash with you!!! We bring about $500 as well and usually return with some. We get singles at the bank here in the US!
@@3Days3Noches Thanks!
I’m planning a trip to Cancún, Quintana Roo, Mexico from the end of June into July. The beach experience is a priority for me. Do you know if the beaches in that area are good?
Which resort? It’s best to stay around the hotel zone and Punta Cancun
It’s a Airbnb in the El Rey area. It’s more south of the hotel zone. I don’t want to stay at an all-inclusive resort because I want to do a lot of exploring while I’m down there. I’m also going for 2 weeks so it could get pretty pricey going to an all-inclusive.
That’s sounds fun!!! I don’t know much about that area
@@luisalbertobeltran4623 this is so helpful. GRACIASSSSS :)
I want the checked bag because I want to bring things back from my trip 😂 its basically empty omw there
Haha I get it!!
First, thank you! Your videos are amazing!! I don’t think I’ve heard you speak about the Mexico Tourist Card? Or this thing we’re supposed to fill out online prior to getting to the Cancun airport. Is this real, and if so, how do we fill it out online? Thanks!
Thanks for watching! You don’t have to fill that out anymore!
I will be going with my 11 year old son for thinksgiving week. The last day of our 4-day, 5-night stay is a 7:30pm flight, so we will check in in the morning and go to Isle of Mujeres. Which hotels are best for this kind of itinerary and do they all offer shuttle bus service? Now. I was thinking about the royal splash and wyndham alltra, but do you have any recommendations? Thanks
Do you care about a nice beach? I think Royal splash doesn’t have the best beach I’m a little confused on the itinerary question
Going to there tomorrow❤
Have so much fun!!
Thinking of going my first time
Nice! You’ll love it!

Thank you!! Yes go!! 😎
@@3Days3Noches thanks 😊 beautiful
Going in mid to end June, what can you say about the weather? Super rainy or will we get a chance to see the sun? :')
June should be nice and hot and sunny! Rainy season starts at the end of summer
We are going in October, hoping that that is not the rainy season
Yes it is but you can still have great weather. Going in October maybe too!!
me and husband thinking about going 22nd of may to go to cancun how is the weather?
The weather is usually beautiful then. But you know weather can be unpredictable!! They do get rain often since it’s tropics

Any feedback about the Royalton Riveira Cancun? Going end of June
We haven’t been but you can ask in our facebook group! I think the beach has a lot of seaweed m.facebook.com/groups/572572378298675/?ref=share&mibextid=SDPelY
What do you think about Riu Palace Las Americas Hotel? Also, any places you recommend that is fun around that area?? TIA
Hi! You should join our FB group and ask I think a few people have been there before. I’ve started getting away from the more budget friendly ones because you have to fight for chairs and the drinks aren’t always the best. Although they tend to be more fun. I heard Royalton Chic is fun
m.facebook.com/groups/572572378298675/?ref=share&mibextid=SDPelY
I plan on going with my mother in law when I save up
Yayyy 🥳
Any recommendations for a family with little kids as far as all inclusive resort? Thanks
If beach isn’t a priority then Royalton Splash, the moon Palace, Finest z playa Mujeres. The hotel zone has some too and the beach is much nicer but rough surf
Can you please explain what the "Sanitation Tax Per Night" is and how much it is per night please?
Ha ha I don’t know. I guess for removing trash?
