I’d want to add: skip the taxi all together. Take the local buses. They’re about 10% of what taxis charge. For snacks and drink to have at the hotel, go to the centro and pick all this stuff at the supermarket. And, don’t be afraid to ask the locals about anything. I find everyone in Mexico to be very friendly and hospitable.

ATM tips: Definitely use the ATM for pesos but NEVER get USD. So, if offered to be charged in pesos, select yes. If you see CPC (cardholder preferred currency), do not accept. Also, do not accept any conversion rate. You may see "guaranteed conversion" or "lock in conversion" or DDC (dynamic conversion). Always select proceed without conversion. And please use a major bank ATM...not a stand alone with names like Cashzone, Cashpoint, MoneyBox, etc.

+Wolters World Should reiterate, the above tips are for certain airport ATMs that are kind of complicated. If you use a national bank ATM, you simple insert card, enter PIN, you'll know it's automatically in pesos because the numbers are so large, select your amount, accept service charge between $33 to $40 MXN, decline the donation request...that's it! So easy. Better rates than exchange houses as well. 👍👍

@@lemnatins1434 you don't need a tour for all of them, some are expensive and you don't get much you can't get online. I recommend 1 for Calakmul though. The best sites in my opinion are Pelenque, Monte Alban, Calakmul and Uxmal. Chicken Itza is impressive but much busier, more expensive and less impressive after seeing everything else (still impressive though). Kohunlich, whilst small, has some really impressive features and is near Calakmul. Teotehuacan is another must see, but is just as busy as Chichen Itza.

I grew up travelling as my dad was military. Your videos are accurate as far as addressing the culture. I say that because I haven't been to all the places you have but many of as I see in your videos. I think the best thing tourist can do, especially US citizens, is to never act superior. The saying "When in Rome" applies. Accept their way as you are in their area. I think a rude tourist is one that expects communities to serve them and their wants because they are willing to spend a few dollars. Be humble and appreciative of your surroundings.

wow now that i been to Cancun i finally give some advice 😂 But this is really my personal advice because every family is different. But for my family a mistake i constantly see a lot is that, They try to do everything in a single day. So the entire day we are constantly moving, and eating and going to different locations over and over again. If u are staying in Cancun for 5 to 4 days then take one day off. A day where u just get to enjoy Cancun in your Hotel and sit back and relax. Go to your hotel’s pool or spa and relax. Give ur self time to breath. Idk i personally get overwhelmed by all the places we go to. Also if ur not use to the hot weather in Cancun, Don’t use the public restrooms. Especially in summer 🤦🏿‍♂️ It will burn u alive 💀

Great tips. I’ve been to Cancun many times and tell first timers all these things all the time. There is also confusion about the immigration and customs forms you usually fill out on the plane. DON'T lose the second half of your immigration form. You will need it to get out of Cancun. It will cost you if you need to replace it.

Strangers could just come up to me when they noticed that I had a problem and they didn't ask for money. They actually helped me save a lot of money. They told me about ferries that was almost for free (not for tourists but workers), talked with cab drivers about the price (it went from 50 pesos down to 30), helped in the grocery store so I could get the best fruit and vegetables. I rented an apartment and I told the landlord that I wanted to learn how to make an authentic guacamole. He knocked on my door the same day and showed me. It was absolutely amazing!

Mexico is absolutely beautiful, there is so much pure unspoiled beauty. I'm am lucky enough to have family in Mexico that took me to the best places, going on vacation when your family are locals is the best. I stayed a month in Durango mostly in penon blanco. The desert in the summer is beautiful, little flowers everywhere and fireflies at night the smell of fresh tortillas cooking in the morning. The food is amazing everything is always fresh and in Durango my grandmother would cook in a clay oven with mesquite wood. Penion blanco is a little oasis in the dessert is also known for its natural thermal baths, I think it's called la concha. There's also a lot of walnut and fruit farms, the smell of walnut trees is amazing btw. The people are the friendliest and most generous I have ever met, I was walking with a cousin of mine one time and someone was having a wedding party and they just invited us in when we walked by, it was really fun. Also there are a lot of beautiful Spanish style houses with open areas in the middle of the house with beautiful gardens and colorful birds. I think it's a thing with senior citizens down there to collect flowers and birds. Mexico is amazing, too bad people only hear of the things in the news, it's so safe there after a day of swimming in the beautiful clear rivers full of pretty fish we caught to cook over a fire we would sleep outside under the stars. Well I guess it isn't that bad that people don't travel more of Mexico, all those resorts in Cancun are illegally tearing down the mangrove tree forests that keep the waters so beautiful. All these all inclusive resorts are messing up local economy as well since alot tourists don't leave the resorts, most of these resorts are U.S. owned. So not only are they messing up tourism and local businesses but also the environment.

Great rundown of suggestions. As an expat, my Mexican friends feel that we expats over tip and this, in their estimation is not good. Nor do they feel that we should haggle for a better price. Personally I feel that in resort areas, I do ask if there is a better price as the prices are jacked up. My rule of thumb: if I like it I buy it at the priced asked. If it’s a common item like a ceramic mask, I keep looking until I’m comfortable with the price. On last point, I have been told that Pemex gas station attendants are not salaried....tip them. They will check your oil, inflate your tires, suggest additives, and clean your windshield without cost so giving them at least 10 - 20 pesos is nice. Be sure the gas pump is set to 000

As an EXTREME veteran of Cancun.... many, many years of visits to Cancun... 90% of what he says are great tips. What I take issue with??? He starts out talking about staying on the STINKY lagoon side of Cancun. REALLY??? If you are going to pay for a trip to Cancun, the LAST place that you want to stay is on the LAGOON side. if you're not on the ocean side, don't even bother with the trip!! The other thing is on tipping. It depends GREATLY on the hotel. There are some hotels that have NO position on tips. In that case, yeh, tip well. There are other all-inclusive hotels that make a big deal about tips being included in the cost. A little bit goes a LONG way with those employees. 15-20%???? Absolutely NOT!!! Those people will greatly appreciate the courtesy of a 5% tip.

Great video, I've been Cancun 5 times now and we try to stay at a different resort every time. You were spot on in every tip. I like to stay closer to downtown (walking distance from shopping centers, restaurants, bars...) although when staying at a resort you really don't have to step out but Cancun has so many places to explore. A tip I would have for anyone staying at a resort is that as soon as you check in to your hotel walk to the nearest kiosk and make dinner reservations at the hotel's steak restaurants... especially if you stay at an all inclusive resort. You can make a reservation for the same restaurant twice or choose a different one for every day you stay there. Do it right away bc they fill up quick and you will miss out on great food while staying there. I usually take about $50 in single dollar bills for tipping, a couple of $5 bills... bring extra sunblock, and comfortable tennis shoes because you will end up walking around a lot.

I would just ask the hotel clerk what the price is. And if the driver of the bus tries to charge you something different let them know you know how much it costs. As for other stuff costing more.. the nightclubs probably charge higher cover charges since they usually have special events going on. But again I can't say for sure since I havent been during that time.

I personally recommend to all my friends and relatives that come to better rent a car during their stay in Cancun. You will save a lot of money renting a car.

In regard to the sunscreen, if you're going to a park like Xel-Ha make sure you bring biodegradable sunscreen with you. Do some research, because the stuff they sell at the parks leaves you looking like you took a bath in oatmeal and the white cast doesn't rub off. Other parks require it, too, so double check! Also, buy a waterproof case for your camera so you can take videos/pictures while snorkeling. It's like $30 in the park for a crappy one.

@Ccescui
@Ccescui 6 лет назад
The white stuff that doesn't rub is zinc oxide which is the safe sun blocker. You can just buy this in powder and mix it with shea butter and coconut oil which are safe for coral or if you can mix it with a lotion that is biodegradable too then you can mix it with more or less depending on the protecction you need but at least a 25% will leave you like white pale skin so no way to escape ;P but I prefer to get this weird color if I'm gonna be for a while in the sun as it can save the burn pain. Ingredients that are not biodegradable and very toxic for both animals and ohhh surprise: humans!: Octocrylene, Benzophenone, Butyl methoxydibenzoylmethane, Hexyldecanol, cetyl dimethicone, methylparaben, polyethylene, Propylparaben, Butylcarbamate. If it contains one of the following ingredients it is biodegradable: Titanium oxide and Zinc oxide.

I allowed myself to get roped into a timeshare presentation in Mexico once. Once. It was awful, high-pressured, and ended only when i lost my cool and raised my voice. At that point, because i had gotten the attention of the other attendees/suckers and created a ruckus, only then did they agree to end my presentation and give me what had been agreed. A day at their water park facilities for the entire family. I learned then, and only then, that it was limited access to the park, and that towels were not included. I was so disgusted that I walked out, blowing off the water park, and just considered the whole experience a lesson learned. Over the years I've also been shaken down, twice, by the local corrupt cops. Both times, the cop noticed us driving to Playa Del Carmen from Cancun in our rental car....since the car is clearly marked with a rental car sticker. Both times, I was not speeding, but the cop insisted I was. No use in arguing. The end would be: 1. Dispute the fine and have a court date. In that case, i was going to be stuck in Mexico. 2. Pay the fine. Right there. To the cop. I paid the cop, both times. It was so cheesy on one occasion when the cop literally turned his back to the window, and stuck his sticky fingers through the window in order for me to discretely grease his palm. $40 (which is all i had in my wallet). On Isla Mujeres, my son and his fiance found themselves riding around on a golf cart on Isla Mujeres (short boat ride from Cancun. Beautiful place), and somehow managed to take a wrong turn. A cop appeared and informed them that they were on private property. My son, who does not speak spanish tried to convey they he did not understand what the cop was saying. He indicated that he would leave immediately, but the cop blocked his way and started shouting in spanish. My son had no idea what to do and just stood frozen as the cop ranted on and on about something incomprehensible. Eventually, the cop POINTED HIS GUN AT MY SONS FACE! My son and his fiance were terrified, and eventually he realized that the cop wanted money. $100 for this "infraction". I used to love the area. In those days, Playa Del Carmen was not too crowded. Now, it is like Manhatten on the water with expensive boutiques and restaurants on the main drag. Akumal has been discovered and frequently very crowded. I'm fed up with the cops and their corruption. As for beach holidays, the beaches are still beautiful, but the shine has completely come off the apple for me in terms of Mexico. Their are plenty of other beaches much safer, less corrupt, less crowded than the Yucatan Peninsula, and if i never return there again, that is fine with me.

And with the timeshare stuff in the hotel of your stay, just say you're not interested, gracias, and walk away. And if the timeshare people are outside the airport, just ignore them, and don't make eye contact with them. Plain and easy.

Another thing, be careful with stuff you buy like decor, it breaks easily depending on what its made of, of course. The majority are made of cast (I think that's what it's called.) I hope this helps.

My nephew went there and a taxi driver deliberately took him and his friends out into the Country dropped them off and left them knowing these kids will miss their Cruise Ship that was leaving very soon. Wherever they were they missed the Ship and had to spend a lot of money for extra travel I believe including some air travel and with taxis to meet their ship at the next port. They learned a very valuable lesson.

I've traveled to several places in the caribbean , but akumal is special and has so much to offer whether you just wanna kick back, or be adventurous and go on excursions and expeditions. lots of local cafes, great food, nice people, very safe. Another plus is Akumal, is only less than a 30 min ride from playa del carmen, which is a really fun place to go to at night especially, great night life, delicious food, beautiful girls, good stuff all around. I try to stay away from Cancun its not really my thing. Im really looking forward to going back, hopefully sooner than later. Great tips here, BTW. I agreed with all of them, especially the tipping bit, a little goes a long way there, it shows the people providing you a service that you appreciate it, and they will take better care of you when you do give them something. I work hospitality at my job, we also get tips, so i know just how it works.

Look for photos, my descriptions are awful :P...

one thing you might want to mention about the sunscreen is the specific kind of sunscreen that many tourist excursions require. Many brands like banana boat have chemicals that can harm the groundwater and/or the coral reefs in cancun and places want tourists to be wary of that and use certain sunscreens

I have been to Cancun 3 times. I have always used a travel agency. I live in OKC and it cost's around $950 to $1300 per person. That includes airline tickets, hotel, ride from and to airport, and a handy ass coupon book. In the book they always have dinner paid at a new place every night, and a crap ton of coupons to do stuff for free! Take a water cave tour, swim with dolphins, free jetski rental, it goes on and on. I have never been bored when I use a travel agency. And as far as exchange rates and all that, I usually take about a grand in American Express traveler's checks. If you go to a bank and not an exchange depot they give you face value in pesos! And tip number whatever... If you are in an actual Cancun ran and owned bar, tip that bartender $20 American!!!! You will drink for free the rest of the night! This won't work on the strip, that's all American owned, and most the people that work there are American. Oh, and one more tip, bus drivers are nuts and watch out for scooters!!!!!!!

Are the taxis from the airport really that expensive to take to your hotel?
@TheJerrydon575
@TheJerrydon575 5 лет назад
@@busymeowser honestly I don't know. I have always had a shuttle bus take me from the airport to the hotel, and it's free. I have actually never taken a cab anywhere in Cancun. When I book my trip I always include what I want in the price and tourist companies have always taken us in groups. Now if you are just gonna enjoy the nightlife I recommend walking in a group of taking a bus. All the strip nightlife is pretty close to one another. OH and 1 more thing I forgot to put in the original comment, the signature drinks are ALWAYS watered down and no matter what don't do the slide at Senior Frogs, it's gross!!!!

Was in Cancun 3 weeks ago with 5 other people and we rented a mini van because we wanted to explore and paying for taxi is a lot more expensive. Also take mexican currency because a lot of businesses pay very low for the US dollar. If you don't take enough pesos you can exchange currency but i still feel it's very low, i used my debit card and my bank only charged me a few cents per transaction. I also noticed i was paying less than what i was being quoted in US dollar by using my card. Don't get overwhelmed and be forced to buy something just because you're being swarmed like a piece of meat. When it comes to buying grocerys or buying bottles of alcohol i recommend going to a big supermarket where you won't be over charged as some of the small businesses tend to do. Respect the beaches and treat everything and everyone with respect remember you are a visitor.

Loved Isla mujeres, it's small island feel and narrow streets. There are unsavory parts of Mx that we didn't expect like a lot of the small towns have homeless dogs. just be wary you're going into someone's home country be respectful.

Perdón por contestar tarde pero creo que confundes los taxis, hay un sistema de audio en la mayoría de los taxis así como en los Uber, es muy difícil que te pase algo malo (a menos que tomes un taxi de barrio bajo) pero en realidad el problema es que los taxistas se aprovechan de los turistas para cobrarles más caro de lo que en verdad cuesta.

We went from Cancun to Chechinitza on a large AC bus (think 1 or 2 hour drive) and went through a couple military checkpoints. One of the checkpoints had a soldier on top of a humvee asleep with his finger on the trigger of a SAW pointed right at our bus. Thought he was going to wake up and forget what he was doing. This was also the hottest place I've ever been especially Chechinitza.

I always stay in a hotel for a day or two when I arrive in Latin America for two reasons. They can arrange a transfer from the airport, which may cost a bit more, but it’s worth it so I don’t have to be confused when I’m arriving late, I’m tired, and not in the mood to negotiate taxis and hucksters. And a hotel can offer assistance with various needs and tasks. Secondly, because the hotels usually offer breakfast included, which is great when you wake up in a new city and you’re starving and have no idea where to go. Then after a day or two I transfer to an Airbnb or wherever. Simple conveniences that are worth it in the first 48 hours.
