Hi Andrew and Mona, great teamwork as usual. That is a great idea that this property has a late breakfast table. Andrew, once again, great attention to accessibility!

No we don’t see this enforced at all. Men wear nice shorts and flip flops/ sandals and they’re fine 👍🏻 I think they just don’t want you wearing beach wear.

Yes! It’s a great resort!
wow, it looks pretty nice, I am looking for a place in the hotel zone for a Dental vacation stay, looking at all inclusive as I don't want to hunt for food, not sure what I will be able to eat. probably won't be drinking much either. Just going to chill on the beach or near it to recover. I have looked into this place. I own a Travel agency and their agency rates were actually the same or more than what I can get retail on my own as a regular customer :-( I will be filming the experience so what every hotel I can get will get free promos lol.
Thanks for the video ... Would you prefer this or the riu palace?

It depends 🤷🏼♀️ the Caribe is a newer and nicer, but farther from the main Cancun strip - and the Cancun is right in the action, but is older and dated 🤷🏼♀️

Riu Cancun is more of a party vibe and is right in the main Cancun hotel zone, so close to all the action. Yukatan is further south and more chill.

We’ve used Canada Transfers to shuttle us from the airport (Google them and you can book it online) or if you book a vacation “package” through Expedia or TripCentral, you will have transportation included in the package price (a large coach bus will transport you to your hotel)
