Ok, that lady behind you before you blurred the background- when you were showing the cats? I was cracking up! That was some next level disdain right there, hahahahaa! I hope she ordered a strong drink so she could relax a little. Great first day! And those tacos!!!! YUM! Looks like a very lively resort! Oh, and it was a no brainer that Kev would have Chicken Parm!

Since you brought it up, an “opposite” day where Kevin reads at the pool and Brittany does all the pool games would be so fun 😆 Great video

Hey guys I just found your channel and I love your videos! So my family and I are going to Mexico for the first time at the same resort as you guys and we don’t know if we bring pesos, USD, or just use our cards. How did you guys to do it? If you guys could help me out, it would be greatly appreciated!

Hi! All options will work. It really depends on what you plan to do. Peso is the countries currency, so you’ll get the best pricing using that. If you plan to use credit cards make sure that you use a card that doesn’t foreign transaction fees. Small businesses may not accept credit cards, so again, depends on what you’re paying for. USD is widely accepted but you will overpay since you’re subject to whatever the business sets the exchange rate at. Hope that helps

Review of the Resort: A "Memorable" Disappointment Well, well, where do I begin with my stay at this resort? Let's call it an "experience" - one I'm eager to forget. From the moment you step foot into what claims to be a luxurious haven, you're swiftly transported to what feels more like a cattle farm. Ah yes, the ever-charming wristband - your badge of dishonor. So, if you fancy being an easily identifiable mark for every vendor, potential miscreant, and overly enthusiastic local in Playa del Carmen, this place has you covered! Inside the resort? No escape. It's like being in a relentless sales pitch, but here, the ever-enthusiastic resort staff are the hawkers. Want to relax? Think again. They're always on standby to try and upsell you something. Upgrades, excursions, spa treatments, premium dinners - they're always on the hunt, and you're the prey. Ah, the serenity! But where things truly take a dangerous turn? The so-called "security". For an establishment boasting its exclusivity, the behavior of some guests seemed more fitting for a backstreet bar brawl than a high-end retreat. The open bar? It's more like a ticking time bomb, drawing in unruly twenty and thirty-somethings. With their increasingly aggressive antics and sheer disregard for others' safety, you'd think the resort was auditioning for a reality show on brawls. The "security" team? Oh, they were there, but their indifference and inaction were alarmingly evident. It felt less like a retreat and more like a hazardous obstacle course, where every day brought a new set of challenges to one's personal safety. "Smoke-free", they claimed. Yet the reality was an all-pervasive haze of secondhand smoke, and despite countless complaints, the smoky saga continued unhindered. And don't get me started on the so-called all-inclusive deal. Overpriced restaurants and room service that felt more like a drag than a luxury. At 700-800 euros per night, the returns were pitifully inadequate. Mediocre drinks, a "piña colada" more reminiscent of murky puddle water, and dated rooms that screamed of neglect. My first night? A cacophonous symphony thanks to the ancient air conditioner, forcing an urgent room switch. For a resort that parades itself as 5-star, a hesitant three would be a stretch. The raving reviews and promotional videos? One can't help but question their authenticity and how many palms were greased for those glowing endorsements. In short, if you're seeking luxury and relaxation, this resort is a masterclass in how not to deliver either. Steer clear.
Chicken parm!

This resort used to be awesome when it was The Royal Playa Del Carmen, we went in 2012! It was the best. Went after it changed to Hilton in 2017 and it was not so great! We now only go to Excellence Playa Mujeres.
"Karen" at lunch...so hilarious! Mind your business lady.
