Whether you use the do's & dont's in this video for now or for in the future, it will make travel to Mexico go sooooo much smoother! Any questions?? **ALL MY TRAVEL DEALS I SHARE to save money are over on my Instagram. So follow me there if you want travel deals: **instagram.com/themeleashow/*
I’m going to Cancun for the first time me and my girlfriend. Honestly i was a little skeptical at first but the more i watch these vids the more comfy i get. Thank youuu!!!
Gosh I LOVE this! It seems like everyone I know is going to Mexico right now and I want to join them! THANK YOU for all the great info - you NEVER let me down! I probably saved enough money by following your Black Friday/Holiday Sales Tips (I paid the whopping $2 for your Deals list - SO WORTH IT!) to pay for my entire trip! YAY!! Mucho Gracias!
Aw thanks! Yeah, flights have been really low across the board. That's probably why you've seen a lot of people heading to Mexico. Check Google Flights to help you!
Yes, we did that too! No one wants to get sick on vacation or deal with sick kiddos. You can go back so many times and have a completely different trip. It's great!
@@unknownmyst_7826 it may be filtered but my friend got sick so I wasn’t taking chances with any water I would ingest. I bathed with the resort water but any I would put in my mouth was bottled.
This was great! My husband and I are going for our 30 yr wedding anniversary next month. We have never been to Mexico. We normally do Florida Gulf resorts, but they are 2 to 4 times more expensive. Thank you for your tips.
Very helpful video! We are going to cancun in 2weeks, It hard to decide which resort will be worth the money. Any recommendations for all inclusive resort for a family of 4 including 7and 8 years old boys?
How long did you stay at hard rock hotel? Did all your activities you showed with the kids included in resort? How did you book flights and hotel? What website?
We were there a week. I am hoping to have a video for you guys in a couple weeks showing you what the hard rock Riviera Maya was like 👍🏻 we used Google flights to find the cheapest flights and ended up booking through Delta. And for this particular trip we actually ended up using our Chase points to book the hotel👊🏻
@@lifeaswegomez There is TONS to do in Cancun with kids. Cabo is also great, not as much to do. But the flight is a lot shorter--and can be cheaper. A lot of resorts have plenty to do on-site and you don't really need to do excursions unless you really want to. Not doing excursions, our kids have never been bored. There's always enough at the hotel (activities, shows, etc) to do!
Excellent tips! Planning to travel to Cancun with my son for the first time in early March. Any recommendations on All-Inclusive Hotels for first timers? Thank you. :)
This might be a dumb question, but there is no TSA type check when leaving Cancun? I noticed your vanilla was over 8oz. US TSA blows a blood vessel when packing containers over 3 oz.
We have a trip planned to Cancun in March, I’m excited! Because we’re a big group, we opted to stay in an Airbnb. Any tips for that situation? I would love to book excursions in advance, how can I do that?
Most excursions will have websites that give discounts for booking bundles, special discounts for groups and early booking discounts. Like if you guys wanted to go do xplor like we did, they have discounts on their website all the time!
Me and 6 other of my dawgs are flying from Seattle to Cancun this July of 2021! Can’t wait, don’t know what to expect. Just going to go with the flow. Tickets are bought! ✈️✅🇲🇽
Visited Mexico many times when we lived in the USA and I never got ill my hubby got sick once and Lomatil fixed if very quickly. Not keen on Cancun at all much prefer Cabo. We tipped the bar staff when we first arrived and got super service our whole stay plus we tipped when we left also did this with our domestic she was old,put in long hours and looked after us like family, and on leaving my husband tipped her about a weeks wages. He also gave her our portable DVD Player and the kids videos as she had been making comments on it for a while and she cried. Yes agree never drink the tap water and gotta be so careful with anything washed in tap water too. I bought a very large bottle of Mexican Vanilla for baking nothing like it for baking. Love Mexico and the people are so friendly,
Thank you so much for this amazing video. Do you recommend a website for all inclusive resorts for family? I want to make sure my two little daughters are in a fun safe resort.
Question? Due to covid what paper form or proof due we need to show? I mean do we have to take the covid vaccine before we travel and show proof or not?
So we are booked for hotel zone for may. Two days ago I found they now require negative test for re entry to US ! Should we cancel ? I have no idea how we will get a test down there. I don’t want to travel around Cancun looking for a testing site and encounter dangerous situations
This was a very informative vlog.... all very good things for people new to Mexico. the ONLY THING I WOULD CHANGE IS..... you should tip your waiters in Pesos, and not US currency.... only because many of them work 6 days a week, and it is REALLY HARD for them to get to the bank to exchange the American money. We were told this by our waiters in 2019, when we went to Cancun.
I have a question about tipping. My husband and I are big tippers. We just believe people who earn tips, should be tipped generously. So what is a good tip and do you just keep handing out the bills like its candy.
Ik it would have been better but some people are trying to live just let them be it’s them taking a risk not you just worry about your health right now and let others worry about there’s
We haven't been to Mexico since before kids, this was super helpful. We're looking for a warm place to travel this year. I'm definitely leaning towards an all inclusive resort (kids ages 11, 8, & 4). Curious what your favorites have been?
There are soooo many options! So I think it comes down to if you want all-inclusive or not. And then what things are at the resort your family wants to do. This time, we stayed at the Hard Rock Riviera Maya. Im hoping I will have a video up in a few weeks for you guys showing that so you can see details of what it was like. Cabo is also another favorite (shorter flight too!)
You can fill out the immigration online, print it and bring with you. No need to bring a pen and some of the airlines are not even handing them out anymore
I have been watching your video's for years! I'm so glad your family got to go on vacation. Ours was cancelled to The Atlantis last May because of Covid. I love Mexico & have been there 3 times, but every time I get super sick no matter what I do! I tried all the medications & not drinking the water, no ice & brushing my teeth with bottled water. But the revenge gets me every time!!!! LOL....
OH man!! Seriously the worst! If you go again, stay away from anything they might wash without cooking, like Salad (lettuce) or Fruit.....it could be something like that. Hope you get to reschedule your Atlantis trip!
Thank you for the helpful tips and sharing highlights with your family. Ironically, we are taking our kids (12 and 14) to the this resort in March. And ignore the haters... not everyone lives in fear of a virus with a 99.9% survival rate ;)
Thanks girl!!! I hope you have the best time! I’m going to do a full video about this resort. Hopefully it’ll be up in a couple weeks so you guys can use those tips too😘
you need to visit Los Cabos and la Paz it's so beautiful la paz is better than Cancun in my opinion the beaches are so clean and the water so cristaline.
Would you recommend this particular resort for couples or another resort for 2 adults? Also if we take kids to this resort, do you have to book 2 separate rooms or do they have rooms for families of 5 for example?
There are a lot of great resorts in Cancun! Honestly too many cuz it makes it hard to choose! We stayed at the Hard Rock Riviera Maya this time around. I'm hoping to have a full video up on that in a couple weeks so you guys can see what it's like and if it might be a good fit for your families. If you are going with just adults, sometimes it's nice to find an adults only hotel instead. For this particular resort, they did have room options that would sleep up to 6 I believe?
Come travel to a place where “your safety “ is mentioned several times, you can’t drink the water, and the “staff” waiting on you makes $5 A DAY- no thanks.
Safer than the US says 1000s of travelers..Tipping is awesome for workers and you get even greater services DONT BE A CHEAPSKATE WE go alot to Cabo, Cancun etc but I still enjoy Melas vids.. always get a good like snacks. Fun fun
I'm from Mexico and the chocolate Mexico it's the best I don't Lake the chocolates in U S that's not good I don't like the way you express yourself about Mexican people
DONT GO HERE UNLESS YOU WHAT A DEATH SENTENCE!! Why would anyone go there? So many tourists being murdered everyday but they cover it up, even in resorts!

I’m going to Cancun for the first time me and my girlfriend. Honestly i was a little skeptical at first but the more i watch these vids the more comfy i get. Thank youuu!!!
I went in June and loved it! Going back in 3 weeks! Tested positive for covid when i returned..
Confused! Is this during the pandemic?
Yes lol watch the video and she shows Mexico’s restrictions 🙂
Yes it is
Yes. We went for thanksgiving break and it was awesome! Very safe. We stayed 2 weeks.
did you watch video? If you did you’d see everyone wearing stupid masks.

I've been looking for a video just like this. Hoping to book a trip. Thanks!
Yay! So glad!
I love that you’re posting these videos again
Thanks Kimberly! I hope you can use the tips in it sometime soon! :)
We went to Cancun in 2019 and had a ball! Also use bottled water to brush your teeth. Such a beautiful place to travel and explore!
Yes, we did that too! No one wants to get sick on vacation or deal with sick kiddos. You can go back so many times and have a completely different trip. It's great!
you can’t use the bathroom sink to brush your teeth?
@@unknownmyst_7826 it may be filtered but my friend got sick so I wasn’t taking chances with any water I would ingest. I bathed with the resort water but any I would put in my mouth was bottled.
@@tifanymack4587 it seems like y'all never drank from the tap water in the US which its tap water is worser than Mexico, smh.
@@julioescobar4946 that is correct. I don’t drink tap water in the US either 🙂
I was literally thinking about traveling there a few hours ago & then I got your notification! So exciting! Thank you! 🥰
Oh perfect!
Planning to go to Cancun and Tulum this spring. Very much looking forward to it
Tulum kinda reminds me of south beach with all tourists, it’s really nice out there tho, but only bad thing is it’s like 2 hours from the airport
This was great! My husband and I are going for our 30 yr wedding anniversary next month. We have never been to Mexico. We normally do Florida Gulf resorts, but they are 2 to 4 times more expensive. Thank you for your tips.
How was it?
This is awesome. Which resort did you stay in. I’m looking for one with slides , pool activities etc like what you showed in the video
OMG I wish I would go there it’s beautiful!
My 6-year-old daughter made this comment. 😂 Looks like your channel has another fan in our household. Better start saving for our next trip. 😁
@Leanne Kelly LOL 😂

Hi there.. where was the trampoline park was that at the hotel?
Will be going there in 2 weeks so excited!
Love Mexico! So beautiful.
It totally is!
Love it😍😍
My parents are Mexican and we woke up 7 hours earlier for the car ride to the airport!
Cancun is the best place to go to Mexico FYI

Went in 2018 and October 2021 got to experience a hurricane at the resort that was cool. Can’t wait to go back this July!!!
Which resorts did you guys go? I’m looking to visit Cancun this year. Thank you for the info, love your videos.
Pesos are the only way to go. You get change in pesos if you use USD, and often times the change is a little short.
When is the best time to visit (not crowded, good weather)?
Web u recommend this place for couples ?
Where did u book the flights or it’s I. All included ?
Help how do I do this ?
I love all your videos, I can't wait to watch this!!! Thank you!
Thanks Jessie! So glad you are here!
great tips! question....what resort is the Waterpark in this video???
any activities recommended for non-swimmers ?
Speaking Spanish is fun . . !! Great video!!
Thanks girl!
I’m going next weeks thanks so much for the video 🙏🏽
Me and 6 other of my dawgs are flying from Seattle to Cancun this July of 2021! Can’t wait, don’t know what to expect. Just going to go with the flow. Tickets are bought! ✈️✅🇲🇽

Great info!! I’m going to Cancun in a few months. Never been there before.
very informative thank you
So helpful! Thank you.
Thank you so much for this amazing video.
Do you recommend a website for all inclusive resorts for family? I want to make sure my two little daughters are in a fun safe resort.
Thank you so much for your tips!
Looks so fun! My 3 year old was disappointed she only saw one of your painted nails in the paperwork shots 😂😂😂
Haha. Oh no!! I’ll try to get more nail shots ok the future 🤣
Can someone tell me a of a good website to buy the vacation package?
Question? Due to covid what paper form or proof due we need to show? I mean do we have to take the covid vaccine before we travel and show proof or not?
This was super helpful! I’m possibly going to Mexico for Christmas, and I’m trying to gather all info possible.
Did you have to do anything with coming back to the states?? Was it easy to re-enter? Did you have to do a Covid test? Any tips? Thank you!
So we are booked for hotel zone for may. Two days ago I found they now require negative test for re entry to US ! Should we cancel ? I have no idea how we will get a test down there. I don’t want to travel around Cancun looking for a testing site and encounter dangerous situations
Check with your resort! A lot of resorts are offering free antigen testing at the resort before you leave!
Is traveling back with kids from Mexico hard???! We’re flying to Mexico for a ceremony but staying for the honeymoon while kids fly back with grandma!

Did you buy tours in cancun or online
Looks like fun! Heading to Vallarta in a couple of weeks :)
Ooooo fun! I hope you have a blast!
I have a question 🤗 What are the first forms you said to keep safe?
You are a cute fam 😍🥰 adorbs fam
I have a question about tipping. My husband and I are big tippers. We just believe people who earn tips, should be tipped generously. So what is a good tip and do you just keep handing out the bills like its candy.
Can you do previously recorded vlogs before the covid
Ik it would have been better but some people are trying to live just let them be it’s them taking a risk not you just worry about your health right now and let others worry about there’s
Is it okay to have ice in your drinks?
I miss your videos so much
Hoping to share more! TH-cam had a lot of issues last year I didn't want to waste my time with. 2021 is looking better! XO

Great tip! That's one I always forget because I'm running around like a madwoman trying to make it to the airport on time, lol!
Do they wash produce/cook with bottled water too?
No, not always. I've had friends in the past get sick from things like lettuce. That's why pepto is always a good thing to travel with :)
I have been watching your video's for years! I'm so glad your family got to go on vacation. Ours was cancelled to The Atlantis last May because of Covid.

Where did you get your covid test to come back to the us
🤩🤩🤩
Do you need to get tested when coming back to the USA?
That's exactly what I need to know
Do you need to do a covid test to get back into the states?
Yes
How can you get such a big bottle of vanilla on the plane with the liquid limit?
If you buy it at the airport, it’s after youve gone through security. They have it everywhere! In bigger bottles than I showed too!👊🏻
Thank you for the helpful tips and sharing highlights with your family. Ironically, we are taking our kids (12 and 14) to the this resort in March. And ignore the haters... not everyone lives in fear of a virus with a 99.9% survival rate ;)

Tell me you didn’t go to college without telling me you didn’t go to college
Which hotel was this?
you need to visit Los Cabos and la Paz it's so beautiful la paz is better than Cancun in my opinion the beaches are so clean and the water so cristaline.
Please don't let anyone know about La Paz. We need to keep it secret as long as possible!
Quiero conocer Cancun mexico

5:18 claro que sí bonita. Así estáis
Really thought about subscribing until I saw you travel to a different country during a pandemic for fun
What hotel was that?
The Hard Rock riviera maya! Hoping I’ll have a full video up about their hotel in a couple weeks. So stay tuned!!
Lmao this video is soooo white 😂😂
Howdy Illenials
Wow. The fact that they don’t ask for a negative test makes me nervous.
Other countries allowing travel do require one. Mexico (as of today) isnt. But we all know everything can change at any moment these days. :)
Do you need a passport to go to Cancun Mexico ?🤔
Your right about the chocolate 🍫!
I'm mexican and I don't like mexican chocolate..
You paid $260 usd for transportation ?
That mexico money so 260 pesos is 12.55
All those places take CC. so only need for cash is tips.
WILL WE NEED NEGATIVE TEST RESULTS TO COME BACK TO AMERICA?!
Yes
stayed in secrets in cabo.. tipped people.. didnt really see any difference in service.
Bring your own chocolate? That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard
I really don’t think you should be promoting travel during a pandemic
No offense this isn't really a travel guide. You just went to a resort.
You really shouldn’t be traveling right now let alone promoting it god
Some people are not afraid of this “virus”like others. Let people live their lives
Come travel to a place where “your safety “ is mentioned several times, you can’t drink the water, and the “staff” waiting on you makes $5 A DAY- no thanks.
Safer than the US says 1000s of travelers..Tipping is awesome for workers and you get even greater services
DONT BE A CHEAPSKATE
WE go alot to Cabo, Cancun etc but I still enjoy Melas vids.. always get a good like snacks. Fun fun
And you really think that it safe to go to a foreign country without a covid test
man wtf
I'm from Mexico and the chocolate Mexico it's the best I don't Lake the chocolates in U S that's not good I don't like the way you express yourself about Mexican people
Hibachi restaurant in Mexico 🤮
DONT GO HERE UNLESS YOU WHAT A DEATH SENTENCE!! Why would anyone go there? So many tourists being murdered everyday but they cover it up, even in resorts!
I would NEVER take my kids into Mexico
