Thank you for watching guys! We're compiling next year's list of top resorts and would LOVE your suggestions! Tell us which resort you think should be added and why in the comments below! Check out more of our TOP lists here --> th-cam.com/video/qI81FDTPASY/w-d-xo.html
Hey @vacationcouple! I know this video is a couple years old but my fiancé and I just came across it as we’re doing some homework/research for our upcoming honeymoon! Our travel agent put a package together for us that’s 6 nights stay at Sandals Playa Mujeres and 6 nights stay at El Dorado Casitas. Both places look beautiful and I’m sure we would love it. It looks like you enjoyed Sandals as well. Here’s my holdout and maybe you can advise us.... I LOVE all things Caribbean. Pure white beaches, the sound of steel drums, even eating fresh caught conch. I’m not as big of a fan of the Mexican vibe - Miariachi bands, salsa dancing, etc. In your opinion, do you think we will get any of the Caribbean vibe in Mexico? Are there steel drums playing anywhere? What is the vibe like in the places you’ve stayed at in Mexico? Our honeymoon is in Early October so we are concerned about hurricanes in the Caribbean obviously. And on top of that, we want to do 10-12 days but stay in multiple places. That doesn’t seem very doable in the Caribbean. It seems hard to travel between islands. What are your thoughts? We would LOVE your advice!! Thank you so much. And your videos are absolutely stunning!!
We just upgraded to a Platinum membership with AM Resorts while at Secrets Papagayo in Costa Rica. Absolutely love the brand! As a travel consultant, I love seeing your top picks!
Heather thank you so much!!! How was Secrets Papagayo? We loved our visit to Dreams Las Mareas Costa Rica and visited shortly after it opened. The excursions in Costa Rica were the most interesting we've experienced. Zip lining, horseback riding, atving, snorkeling, white water rafting.... the fun never ended!
By the way, Zoetry takes AM Resorts to another level. The food, service--fabulous! Zoetry Paraiso de la Bonita Rivera Maya and Zoetry Agua Punta Cana are both amazing! You would love it!
Awesome videos!! I think I'm going to watch all of them...quick question, I went to secrets silversands last year and the beach had rocks and a lot of seaweed :(. I want to go to one that has the perfect beach,which one would you say has the best beach?
Hi Lorena! Thank you for your kindness! Yes we found the same thing at Silversands. All of the other Secrets, Dreams, and Now resorts we've been to have had great beaches. At a few there had been seaweed, but that was seasonal and it was never a big bother (the rest were fantastic compared to Silversands beach). Our favorite beaches in Mexico are at Secrets Playa Mujeres/Dreams Playa Mujeres, and Dreams Tulum as they're quite secluded, clear, and clean. In Punta Cana, Secrets Cap Cana had the best beach by far!
The waterpark was incredibly fun guys!!! We took several things into consideration when ranking them - property layout, food, rooms, facilities, spa beach, pools, activities, nightlife, location, distance from the airport, unique features. It really does come down to your personal preference in the end.
Le Blanc in Cancun, Zoetry Paraiso Bonita and Grand Velas. By far, the best All Inclusive in Mexico. Better yet, best in the world. Very hard to get a AAA Five Diamond rating as an all inclusive resort. They stand in a class all by themselves. Visit any of them, and you'll see why. Simply amazing.
We'll have to check it out soon! Thanks for the suggestion. We'll be making an updated top resorts video this year - you can subscribe so you don't miss it! :) Cheers!
Just wonder what the price range is for this top 5? I'm going to Mexico in two months or so, i'd love to check out one of these but my budget is 1250$ usd give or take per person.
Advice please! I am an active duty US Soldier currently deployed to Iraq until later this year. I really want to take my wife on an all-inclusive vacation to Mexico; I want it to be PERFECT in every way possible because she deserves it! My wife and I have been together for 5 years and will be married for 3 years on April 27, 2017 - she is an amazing woman. I want this vacation to be the best thing she has ever experienced since she will be raising our kids alone for several months and I'll be in Iraq on our anniversary. I'm going to do some research on this "Secrets Playa Mujeres" Resort but any input from anyone who has actually been there will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
James Brunson look into Gran Vellas. They have Cancun and. Nayarit (Puerto Vallarta area). I've visited a few on this video and several others, Gran Vellas is top notch and the price says so.
arainla Thank you! I'll be sure to look into those places as well. we went to Punta Cana (where I proposed to her) back in Dec 2013 and had a phenomenal time! I want to try and top that experience this time around. We also went to St Lucia last year but that was just OK so I want to redeem our vacation choice. lol Thanks again for your input!
We've been there James and we loved it! If you have any specific questions we'd be happy to answer them. Often the right resort for you really depends on your specific interests and preferences. There are some pros and cons to each place we've visit. The beach, food, rooms, staff and overall feel of this resort is absolutely in our top 5 of all time, we aren't kidding. Plus, you now have access to the resort next door, Dreams Playa Mujeres, and there are a lot of fun perks there as well. Our list was compromised of resorts that we have personally been to, so it's not an exhaustive list keep in mind. Feel free to contact us at hello@vacation-couple.com to chat further. So sorry for the delay! We haven't been to Punta Cana yet but it looks absolutely incredible to us. Where did you stay during your time there? Thank you so much for watching and considering our choices, we really appreciate it! We're sure you'll find the perfect spot for your next vacation with your wife. She sounds so lovely!
Ive stayed at both the Secrets and Excellence (both on Playa Mujures) You just cant beat the Excellence. We chose the Roof top terrace for the Excellence. STUNNING. We chose the Preferred Club Oceanfront Suite for Secrets. I felt like an animal on parade at the zoo. Everytime the timeshare host took a prospect through our area (Along the wooden pathway to the beach) The prospect would take photos of us in the pool. EVERYTIME! We found the pool small conpared to the Excellences choices of numerous pools. At Excellence PM, you had many choices, a few quiet pools or the main pool with the swim up bar. PM me for any questions you may have!
We've heard that Iberostar has good value too! We haven't visited one together.......yet. All of the Hyatt resorts we've visited have been top notch and we trust the brand after so many positive experiences with them. Each Dreams (and Secrets for that matter) that we've visited have outdone other resorts in terms of food. That's a constant pro for them in our experience. Which Dreams have you visited? We really enjoyed Dreams Tulum as well, the best lush gardens and beaches in the area.
dreams in puerto vallarta, last iberostar was in playa mita (north of puerto vallarta. . . which was a great stay, much better food than other resorts for the price such as riu palace etc. Going back to iberostar this dec at the maya in playa del carmen.
My wife and I were staying at the occidental xcaret destination resort. What a wonderful beautiful place for vacation. So much to do there. A must for yourself. We posted our videos on TH-cam under martin arnaud. Please tell us what you think. Thx😎
Yes we have! We visited a few years ago and loved our experience there. A big property with lush gardens and a gorgeous beach. Here's our video from it :) th-cam.com/video/e48G0U5L6jM/w-d-xo.html
I went to riviera princess resort, that place was nice, especially cause its mostly adults. Any place that has kids is annoying for couples with out kids.

We're going to the Hyattt Ziva Cancun in mid august this year for $1250/person for 5 days/nights, including air fair.
That's great news! We can't wait to hear what you think :)
Hung Nguyen wow that's a great deal! How was it?
I've heard good things from hayatt ziva resorts and dreams are always pretty good. I really like iberostar for value overall.

Vacation Couple Thank you! I'll be visiting in September with my wife. Very excited!
I went to riviera princess resort, that place was nice, especially cause its mostly adults. Any place that has kids is annoying for couples with out kids.
Which hotel would you recommend for a couple in their 20's celebrating their wedding anniversary?
PrettyDimples secrets playa mujeres. Is an adult only hotel
We argree with Lorena - Secrets Playa Mujeres is our favorite in Mexico!
Not including Gran Vellas tells me this list is very incomplete.
+arainla That's a great suggestion for next year's list! We haven't visited Gran Vellas yet :)
