Cancun Travel Tips 2024 | Beginner and Pro Tips | Cancun Mexico 2024 

Omg lol thank u for ur video travelling tonight first time to cancun im glad i watched ur video befor i get there

A few things I would add to your great info:.... Prebooking spa treatments is a good way to ensure you get an appointment or your preferred appointment day/time however as you point out spa prices are ridiculous at most resorts and I'm finding more and more resorts now have reps roaming around the pool/beach/lobby offering substantial discounts. In April I was at TRS Yucatan and we got 2 for 1 massages. (80 min couples massage was $260US total for the 2 of us vs $260 each if we booked before we arrived) Probiotics are great option in my opinion however (as a Dr) I would suggest you start well before your trip because some people can experience diarrhea in varying degrees when they first start taking them and for some it can take weeks to adjust to taking them so not ideal to go thru the very thing you are trying to avoid while on vacation. Of course always check with your own health professional to see if there is any reason not to take them. Pesos vs $US I agree with you that USD are happily and widely accepted in Mexico so if you are American I wouldn't bother incurring exchange fees by buying pesos. For Canadians we have to exchange money whether it's into US or into pesos so its kind of six of one half a dozen of another. If you go to Mexico a lot I'd get pesos if not might be better to get USD because you can use those in many countries if you have some leftover. If you are just tipping it doesn't really matter which you use. If you are buying things with USD in cash just make sure you know what the exchange rate is so you don't get ripped off and watch how they give you change. A lot of times they want to give you pesos for change from USD which is fine as long as you aren't getting ripped off on the exchange. Also for Canadians banks generally don't have Mexican pesos on hand so you have to pre-order them and that can take a week or so where as USD are readily available in almost every bank. Also be aware that if you are looking for a lot of small USD bills for tips banks tend to restrict the number small bills they will give you at once so you may have to go to bank a few times or pre-order the amount you want. My bank usually won't give more than 25 singles at a time and they have limited numbers of 5 and 10's as well. 20's, 50's and 100's they have lots on a daily basis. Pre-ordering is pretty convenient because you order the exact amount you want in the exact denominations you want. Hotels will also exchange USD into pesos if you want a bit of local cash for vendors, tips etc but their exchange rates are higher than banks. For excursions and larger items I just use CC's as they surprisingly have fairly decent exchange rates. My experience is Canadian debit cards do not work in Mexico.

I just got back from a week at Hotel Xcaret Arte and this video is spot on

Thank you for all the tips in your videos we are leaving Mexico right now. We are at the airport waiting to go home. Nacho Tours was the best!

I'm Canadian, my phone is with virgin, and it worked perfectly fine in Mexico. I did set up the travel feature and allowed roaming, and had no problem.

I Just Got Back a Few Weeks Ago and Booked My Birthday Trip To Go Back Today Lol Also Booked Nachos Tours Again😊😊😊 Your Awesome and Doing The Lords Work For Travelers🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

Hello, really need your suggestion on Cancun, Mexico trip. I am planning a trip to Cancun in the first week of September with my wife and 2 yrs old daughter. I have below questions: Do you think that there would be pretty less number of tourists in the resort during this time? Can we go and enjoy the beach during this period or is it not swimmable? Does it rain most of the time in September? Does the pool party and other fun activities happen in the resort during September or is it closed? Really appreciate your help for these answers. Thanks again. Your videos are amazing😍

I really like your channel. We have been to Cancun about 10 times. Its our favorite place. Different times of the year. And its about the same as far as busy. Leblanc resort is awesome for relaxing and none of the loud pool activities

It’s worth mentioning that while you can bring USD and it is widely accepted you will pay about a 20% premium to use USD as opposed to pesos. Most merchants use a rate far lower than the current exchange rate. They are happy to take USD because they make so much more by gringo pricing you.

Love your videos! We go to Cancun every year, but thinking of booking in Playa del Carmen. After some research it appears beaches are not as nice as Cancun. What is your experience with Playa?

Thanks for the information! I’ve seen you also work with travelingos. Have you ever used them for their airport transport? If not was there a reason? Thanks

Another great video. Thanks :)

Hi thank you for the information, will the weather be okay in January, been told it’s the coldest month. Thank you!

Hi, how bad is the "Sargassum/Seaweed" in Cancun?

I plan to go at the end of may next year How the weather looks for that period? It’s my first time going

Thank you for your video, but I noticed you only mentioned US & Canadian only required passport. What about other countries, my grandma visited us from Vietnam, should she required to fill the FMM tourist card. I appreciate your helps

Hi, what about the visitax? Is that something we need to pay before departing for Cancun? Our travel company didn’t say anything. Thank you

What are your recommendations for parents traveling with teens? Cancun or Punta Cana?

What about cigarettes? I am a smoker And i know it will be a special place for smokers on the resort But can i bring with me few packs of cigarettes? Or can i buy from duty free? Or i can buy at the resort?

I don’t own any credit card I only use debit, do you think loading money on a prepaid visa card from Walgreens or Walmart would work in Cancun

where can i get the free download packing list?

Cancun awaits you 3 days 3 noches

Are they checking that you paid the visitax for those who have come back recently? We leave tomorrow and I'm not sure I'm gonna pay it. Did last year and no one checked or even seemed to care.

Can children under 18 go through the E gates? I keep seeing mixed results on line.. my son’s passport has the camera icon on the front of it. Thx
