Since I follow several other full time travelers wanted to share some tips. Please point out options for people like vegan/ veggie restaurants and places to do exercise like yoga and a little more descriptive on the food beside the Spot On but your going to be successful with this endeavor. Congrats I can't wait to watch more.

    Hi, Gary. Glad you enjoyed our video. Thanks for the tips. We only recommend what we like and what we experienced ourselves. We are not vegan nor vegetarian so we can not recommend just whatever spots. As much as I enjoy doing yoga myself, I did not go to any classes, just the gym at our condo so I will not recommend any place I do not know about.

    I just came back from Playa. I was there on part holiday/part condo hunt. Overall, it is a so-so experience. As a vacation destination, all Playa really has to offer are beaches. For most Americans/Canadians, Florida is a better option for a simple beach vacation. As a winter get away, there are some good values on condos, however. 5th Ave is a cringe-worthy experience. There were at least 150 heavily armed police/military personnel along 5th Ave The locals treat you as if you have ATM written on your forehead. Everything is at least double what you pay elsewhere in Mexico. Expect vendors to charge extra some how or another. The prices were surprisingly expensive. The beaches are nice from October until April. Otherwise they are full of seaweed. I lucked out - the beaches were clean. Expect to pay about $1,000 pesos for an afternoon at a beach club for a chair/umbrella, drinks and a meal. They will try to overcharge somehow - it s annoying. Playa has grown a lot over the past few years. Much of the growth is uneven. There are some nice condos/houses mixed in with some not so nice ones. The uneven development is unappealing, or such is my point of view. There are some nice day trips to the surrounding areas. The cenotes are worth a visit. The package tours will often include a cenote visit plus a trip to Chitzen (part Mayan calendar/part execution centre). Be sure to comparison shop. I spent four needless hours on a bus picking-up/dropping off people. There are some great deals on condos in gated communities well away from the centre of Playa. If you are looking to spend winters in Mexico, they are worth considering. Groceries and other living essentials are about half what you will pay back home. Just stay away from 5th Ave.

    Hi! When you withdraw money from an ATM in a foreign country it will always ask you “do you accept the conversion rate?” For example, the money in your bank at home is in USD but when traveling the ATM will give you local currency. The money will be still deducted from your bank in the USD. Thats why they ask you about the conversion. The options would be yes or no. Always choose no. Your bank will always give you better conversion rate.

    This video is for those wanting a tourist experience but these suggestions are cringe like fifth Ave recommendation and to stay close to that area not smart and very very touristy also this is where all the pickpocketing crime happens. You will not have a Mexican experience especially food wise be because the restaurants on fifth are everything but Mexican food. And expensive. The best beaches are further north like beach 66 beach 86 and point Esmeralda these are more beautiful wider least amount of people they do have bathrooms and showers and have a few resorts but way way less than the congested areas down south near centro.
