Rolf

My channel Rolfbjj is where every journey is more than just a destination-it's a story waiting to be told. I'm Rolf, an adventurer at heart, a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu enthusiast, and just a regular guy trying to up my storytelling skills.

Me and my wife decided that the standard 9-5 wasn't the life we dreamed of. So, my wife and I sold our house, packed our bags, and dove headfirst into the world of travel, with a twist - I'm dragging my Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu gi along for the ride.

Here's the deal: we thought traveling was all about those Instagram-worthy moments, but let me tell you, it's more about getting lost, finding the best street food spots, making friends in the most unexpected places, and forgetting to use your camera and phone. 01.02.24 I decided to make cooler and better videos for KZread, stay tuned.

    This is NOT a 5 star resort. They will ENDLESSLY harass you for Spa, Excursions and Wine purchases. The food is VERY average to below average compared to other Cancun area all inclusive resorts and if you upgrade to a "Presidential" suite, you will get a room so run down, with broken showers, wall fixtures, ceiling fans, etc. Our "Presidential Suite" had a swamp view with the lovely smell of garbage. Good thing we paid extra for it. Go elsewhere.

    800€ a night 😂 11200€ for 14 days it's crazy and the plane ticket is not even in it. For That price i can get a plane ticket, rent a nice car, nice hotel, eat good food and mouve around the Yucatan and close regions... For less than that. Lazy people who wants every thing serve with out doing much pay the price.

    not as big as Disneyland really ????? i have been to Disneyland for 13days with both my kids and i did it all ... got two signed books of princess signatures waiting in lines for hours and visiting stuff while in Xcaret Mexico i did go there 10 days and just my resort + 10 Park would took me at least 30 days to see it all ........... Xcaret Mexico hotel is way too expenside compared to Disney Land but you got way much stuff to do .

    I might have done a wrong comparison here, and mixed Disneyland and Disney world. Xcaret Park is 200 acres, and Disneyland is 500 acres (remember this was before I ever visited Xcaret, and know more of it’s structures now) I remember I read somewhere that Xcaret had a 800 acre lot, and I also know Xcaret group started a project in 2022 in the Yucatán district of over 600 acres, witch the article states is bigger than the original Xcaret. But compared to Disney world (which is the comparison I thought I did 😂) Xcaret becomes the little league, as Disney world is 25.000 acres 😮

    If all you plan on doing is drinking margaritas by the pool, you can definitely do better than Xcaret. The whole reason to go to Xcaret is the parks, and most importantly the network of convenient shuttle busses to get you around. For most vacationers, being able to fly into Cancun and be driven everywhere for free avoids a lot of travel stress. The amazing architecture and natural feel of the resort is just a bonus. Sure you pay for it up front, but you know you're going to have an amazing vacation in sunny Mexico with minimal hassle and maximum safety. Now if only Xcaret could do something about the airlines over-booking flights...

  • @rolfbjj

    If you watched the film, you would see that we obviously liked Xcaret and that the wasted money was a reference to my wife’s food poisoning. We’re not typically pool margarita drinking people. But found it a bit sad that you have to wear life jackets in the hotel lagoon.

    I was there last August and I state with all honesty the service is definitely 5-star. I'm not sure what experience they were expecting or looking for, but it is a top-notch hotel. You get a personal waitstaff person/butler who guides you when you get there. They go over the hotel, the dining and excursions if you haven't pre-booked them, and takes you to your room. The food is nothing less than spectacular. Even the buffet style places like the Mercado and Cayuco brunch were amazing. He's right, alot of KZread travel videos are sponsored but they were not lying. Totally worth the price. The only thing I'll say is that it's VERY steeped in Mexican culture. Every little detail down to the food selections, decor, and atmosphere. Me and my friends loved that aspect but it's worth nothing.

I found to hard to navigate to and from my room after the sun set. The property hasn't aged well. It's time for a refresh. It looks like it needs a good deep cleaning Over all it was livable but far from the BEST. I wouldn't go back and I would say it's a 50/50 chance other picky travelers would like it.
