At 01:25 in the video entitled, "I tried Thailand's SPICIEST dish..." is music I really would like to know the name of. What is it, please? The music is what I would call, incidental, waiting-around-for-something-IMPORTANT-to-happen music. It is hilarious. Please clue me in. Thanks!
I stayed in Akumal Caribe last month for a few days, which was not an all-inclusive hotel, but it was located on the beach and within walking distance to the Colectivo shuttle station. You guys must have entered the lagoon from the first entrance, which is less expensive and more limited. The second entrance has a larger snorkeling area. The sunrises at 7:25 AM in Akumal were incredible, the food in the Akumal pueblo are all delicious and cheap (like you said), and the semi-humid climate made my skin so soft. It was truly a paradisiacal experience.
Great video. Would love if you could do a video on taking colectivo to go south toward tulum maybe to cenotes on the way or to tulum ruins/tulum public beach? Thks for all you share 🙏
Hello. I stayed in Akumal, but yes we stayed at an all inclusive resort that included like 5 other resorts. So we had access to many beaches. We had a car the whole time, and we would just take off to different places, but we didn’t explore a whole lot in Akumal. Thanks for sharing.
Hey guys thank you for shearing! We have our condo in half moon bay, it is a quiet beach in the gated community, I guess you missed it? 2 restaurants there I’m sure you would loved it. Is great for snorkelling as well. Hopefully you can go back and check it out soon. An other thing… if you would said that you were going to the restaurant for drinks in the public beach, they wouldn’t charge any money. Any way thank you so much for shearing, love your videos you are a wonderful couple Cheers 🍻
@@LloydandMandy any time! Let me know if you would like to stay in our condo next time, would be our pleasure to have you over. (We are no there so don’t worry about roommates 😊)
We just arrived back in Canada Friday night. We stayed at a resort in Akumal and the trip back to the airport in a private shuttle took 2 1/2 hours. The traffic on that highway is brutal on a Friday afternoon to the airport. There weren’t any accidents, just traffic volume. I’ve been to this area several times over the years and there never used to be a seaweed issue but after a windy day/night the beach was 2 ft high of seaweed. The resort staff literally rake it up and put it in plastic bags and take it away. It’s a huge job to maintain. I’ll be heading to Puerto Vallarta again next time and will stay close to airport and avoid the seaweed.
We have been there 6 or 7 times since 2014 to snorkel. I love it! We’ve stayed at Secrets Akumal and it’s wonderful! It’s only been in the past few years that they charge and admission fee. Snorkeling is definitely the draw for us. The local beach bar is great. Kinda pricey but worth it. The last hurricane destroyed part of the area.
Hi there guys, sad that it's like a gated community much like Puerto Adventuras.....😪 I wonder if more and more smaller towns will be becoming this way. 🤔
I would like to see a video of the two of you on a horse ride, along the beach, trail ride, whatever?. I am a horse lover, and of all your videos i have watched, i have never seen you have any interaction with horses.? I know Mandy loves animals, and is a dog magnet..! Hopefully, you will look into this suggestion soon. Best wishes, John, Perth, Western Australia
@@LloydandMandy L & M, you don't need experience to ride a beach ride or trail ride horse, they are super docile, it's just like sitting in a chair at home, only difference is, you'll get a sore arse..!! 🤣😂🤣
Love the honest video...we haven't been there yet but hope to do so this spring...i have researched and if you go to the left and drive down that road you can find the other areas with beach bars and restaurants etc...thinking you may have enjoyed that section better...will let you know when we go!!...Viv
Hola, yo viví en Akumal hace muchos años y creo que no fueron a la mejor parte que es del centro del pueblo hacia el sur, en donde están los hoteles de lujo. Ahí pueden usar las playas, todas son públicas y es la zona mejor conservada, lástima que no fueron a esa zona.
You guys missed the whole area opposite the Yakul Lagoon. Half Moon Bay... There are other restaurants, condos, etc. La Buena Vida is awesome for drinks and food...beach access, no fees, great snorkeling....
Interested in the babbel app! Do you know if it’s north/central American Spanish or European? I don’t want to learn Spain Spanish (eg vosotros or Spain vocab)
If you're looking for a next trip idea, might I suggest taking a night bus from Tulum to Chichen Itza & then on to San Cristobal de Las Casas in Chiapas. From there not too far to get to Quetzaltenango in Guatemala, Lake Atitlan, Antigua etc. Anyway, tks for the content. Cheers from Cali.
I'd love to see where y'all are living, cost of living, etc (all the juicy deets) also we LOVE y'all's channel 🫶 we are a family of 4 who are dreaming of living in Mexico a year or so (teen boys we homeschool & I'm remote so working on getting my husband's job remote) but what areas would y'all recommend based on your mexico travels 😃 inexpensive, safe, close(ish) to cities but we love the smaller less crowded places (saw y'all's xcaret day and laughed at the "this is our nightmare" at the crowds #same)
We're leaving soon so we will share with everyone! We would recommend Puerto Escondido if you want small, safe beach vibes. But honestly PDC just has everything you need which makes it easy, and it's close to so many other places and easy to walk around.
Hi guys Can you do a bit more of the old style vids love to see some more concentrated travel info like room and food prices ect . It's important or it was once ? Pete
@@jcunningham1321 LOL, says the person commenting on our TH-cam video about the pronunciation of a word. I cannot think of a bigger waste of time. Find a hobby or something.

If you are going to present yourselves as informed travel vloggers, you might not butcher the pronunciation of your destination in the first minute - hint - in Latin American Spanish the syllables are enunciated very clearly. eg A- Koo- Mal.

@@johnmcisaac7905 Ok well since you're Canadian, I can almost guarantee you cannot pronounce most Australian cities correctly, such as Melbourne, Brisbane and Canberra, I know this because I have a Canadian wife and worked on the rigs with Canadians for years. people from all over the world speak differently, Mexicans pronounce English words differently, I don't think it's a huge deal.
@@LloydandMandy Lloyd, you are quite right it’s not a big deal. But the way Aussies pronounce those cities names is the correct way ! If one was visiting one of those towns, would one not want to learn to pronounce them correctly, ie same as the Aussies do? That way they wouldn’t return home to tell folks they were in Mell-burn, Can-bare-a, and Briz-bane. Nasty!!! And where are you from in the ‘down under’?

Love your authentic and fresh assessment of all the places you visit...great visuals and always so much fun to watch! ❤
Glad you enjoy it!
I've only stayed in Akumal at a resort so havent seen too much around there. The Snorkelling was great though. Thanks for sharing guys!
Great video, love the driving trips. We get to more overall views of the towns and areas.
LOVE ALL your video no matter what. Oh… great drone shots
Glad you like them! Them you so much!
Aventuras Akumal, a couple bays south, and just down the highway is the spot to be at. Much prettier beach, and far less crowded...
Great video. Would love if you could do a video on taking colectivo to go south toward tulum maybe to cenotes on the way or to tulum ruins/tulum public beach? Thks for all you share 🙏
Thank y ou, we'll look into that for a future video

Mandy needs to fess up about the Jacksonville Jaguars sweatshirt in the Babbel ad. North Floridians want to know.
Lol. She doesn’t have a team but loves the jaguars u uniform and logo, bye she is a free agent for team supporter
Love watching you guys. and its good to see bear. Have a great week
Thanks so much
Love Akumal (specially if you stay at akumal beach and wellness resort) it was quiet and nice!
So good!
Pretty sure the bit from 8:21 to 9:13 was good for my blood pressure.
Looks amazing!
It does!
Can’t wait to see your glamping volg. #vanlife

Yes we are just wishing to move in

Stay on the beach sdie of the highway. Don't even bother crossing into the town it's self. Go to Yal Kul. Walk the beach. You'll love it.

Hey Pete, cheers for the feedback. I’m pretty sure that our last few videos have included accom prices etc no?
No mosquitos There .
Lots of them!
