“Your moms probably freaking out that you’re going to Mexico” 🤣🤣🤣 that’s why I haven’t told her yet!
Nicely played!!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Same 😂
Ignorance is bliss lol
Lmfao same!
🤣🤣
Going to Cancun for the first time in 2 weeks and am so anxious but excited. Thank you so much for these videos I will be watching the whole Cancun playlist to make sure we’re prepared!😅
Awww ty for watching!! You will have a blast!
Going tomorrow for a few days, i will be posting back on these comments!
@krysmari9886 awesome!!!
How was it? :)
@@krysmari9886 how was it? :)
I agree with you. Cancun can be as safe or as dangerous as you make it. Chicago can be dangerous, NYC can be dangerous, Miami can be dangerous, LA can be dangerous. But all can be safe too. Totally agree with you with the drinking and drugs.
Thank you for watching
I haven't been to NYC or LA since the 90s. Never been to Miami. I USED to go to Chicago all the time. I no longer feel safe there. Even the touristy areas like Miracle Mile are now sketcy. I won't be going back until they get their crime under control.
I suggest NOT renting kayaks for the lagoon part in Cancun as it is inhabited by crocodiles, and there have been deaths n injuries , but rarely reported to not scare tourists.
This video really helped my anxiety. I took a very planned trip to Iceland, where I did a huge amount of research ahead of time. I haven't done that much research on Cancun/Maya Riviera so this video was super helpful in alleviating my anxieties. I appreciate the mom in your right now. I feel SO much better.
Ha ha thank you for watching!!!
Thank you for all the tips! Great video😁
Awww thank you!!
Thank you for sharing your experience and your wisdom!
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for all your videos! We are going to Cancun for the first time in 3 weeks and they have been so helpful!
Omg thank you so much for watching. That makes me happy!!
Thank you this was very informative
Ty for watching!!
Tipping is so important! The resort staff appreciate it more than you know. And they’ll treat you so well!!
Yes!! I feel sad when people get so angry about tipping but understand it may be a cultural thing.
Tipping is not needed honestly for what thr staff arr alread getting paid to do..yea for spa and stuff def tipping helps..but other than that you must be a staff
What country are you from?? Every culture has different opinions on this
British Canadian and I very much dislike this tipping topic in Cancun..if one has saved every single penny they could to book an all inclusive package, we shouldnt be thinking of adding like 50$ to the plan just for the sake of tipping for staff who are being underpayed by the hotel...not my problem..it seems as though im paying the hotel and also compensating the staff through random tips for what they must do..like i know for drinks and stuff it makes sense but if one is not taking any drinks and is staying on the resort cafe or restaurants it sounds very unnecessary to me to have to tip a person who is bringing me my dinner..believe me I would pick it up myself if i could..i simple dont like this tipping idea..i shouldnt be compensating both the staff and the hotel at least in a 5 star all inclusive where we hardly saved to get to and relax
Yes every culture is different! But my philosophy if I am going to go visit another country and culture I want to know what the dos and donts are just like if someone came to Canada. Really you would only need $20 more per day which isn’t a lot more! But at the end of the day you should just make the choice on what you believe and feel good about it and not leave negative comments about it. I’m it judging anyone if they don’t tip. Everyone has a right to live and vacation the way they want!! Cheers!:)
9:43 that’s a great tip there! The last time my husband and I were in isla mujeres, the sneaky shop owner over charged us A LOT on purpose (we negotiated the price in USD and they charged us in pesos which is why I didn’t notice). When we got back and went through the credit card bill, we realized we were cheated so we called the bank and disputed the charge. The bank was able to cancel the charge for us after we explained what had happened. Always check the conversion rate and use a credit card in case you need to dispute!
I love Cancun. It was my 1st trip out of the U.S. and it was amazing. 100% agree.
Thank you for watching!! Any other tips you can add??
Same here lol
Thanks for watching 🌞🌞🌞
Great info :)
Thanks for watching!!
Thank you so much for your videos. We are going in May. I'm a little concerned about the seaweed but will make the best of it.
Thank you for watching. Yes!!! That’s a great outlook 🌞
Hi! I really enjoy your videos! They are so helpful, and I have been binge-watching them before my trip next week. What is your advice on carrying identification? Do you make a copy of your passport, use your home country ID, or carry around your passport?
I'm going in April! Can't wait I'm so excited!
Excited for you!
Thank you! I’m going in July and this will be my first ever vacation. Going with my best friend! Super excited!
Awww yayyy excited for you
Thank you so very much for this video! It’s really helpful and informative for me to know about how to make the most best of the trip. I’m going to Cancun for spring break in 3-4 weeks so I will definitely check out the area as a solo traveler
Ty for watching! Be safe!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experiences 😅
Thanks for watching
Thank you for these fantastic videos. They have been super helpful as I'm planning my first trip to cancun for my Honeymoon. We are very interested in finding an all inclusive that has a beach with very calm waters that you can easily swin in. Do you have any suggestions for hotels we should look for in the hotel zone, Isla Mujeres or Cozumel?
Thanks for watching. Totally depends on budget!!! Have you considered Playa Mujeres?? Beloved is supposed to be perfect! Hotel zone has rough waters. Secrets Impressions just opened on Isla Mujeres and is supposed to amazing but very pricey.
Thanks for the tips is September a good time and could you recommend a all inclusive hotel?
September could be okay but it’s the start of hurricane season. It def depends on your budget.
Thanks for your great work. E-Passport must have been great, Line was so long went through the original lines flew by
Thanks for watching!!
This was really helpful. I’m in Cancun right now for the first time.
Thank you so much for watching!!
First, thank you! Your videos are amazing!! I don’t think I’ve heard you speak about the Mexico Tourist Card? Or this thing we’re supposed to fill out online prior to getting to the Cancun airport. Is this real, and if so, how do we fill it out online? Thanks!
Thanks for watching! You don’t have to fill that out anymore!
Bring a Yeti style tumbler with a straw. The bar tenders will make your favorite frozen cocktail and directly fill up the tumbler. Allows you to keep your drink frozen longer and not have to suck it down before it melts.
Yes!!!! Forgot that one in this video!! And that’s a must. Thank you!!
This is going to be my first international trip to Cancun. Hopefully the weather is good in September why I am there . Rain season
That’s so exciting!! Either way you will have an amazing time!!!
Came across your channel last night, great informative videos 👍 can I ask I’m looking at booking cancun and trying to decide between rui dunamar costa mujeres and hotel zone - this would be the first time going there and I don’t know if it’s better to be closer to the city for shops or if transport from costa mujeres to cancun is worth it ? Was really looking for a quite relaxing break hence Costa mujeres but also like the idea of being central and easily accessible to shops near by, any advice would be so much appreciated, thank you again for making your videos I feel more relaxed and excited to go to Mexico after watching a few as I was quite nervous ☺️🤞
Thank you for watching!!! It will def be more relaxing at Costa Mujeres since it’s larger and more spread out then the hotel zone resorts. We like being in the hotel zone so it’s easy to go off the resort but there’s def more of a hustle and bustle feel. Even when you are on the beach there are other hotels lining the beach. You could go for the day or night if you’re feeling bored from Costa Mujeres but traffic has been difficult! If you think you would like to go off the resort several times then stay hotel zone. If you only want to do it once do Costa Mujeres
what a great video! another tip - I also land up saving up on unnecessary expenses like atm fees etc in Mexico - using apps like ATM Fee Saver - it helps find atms abroad with no fees or lower fees than others along with withdrawal limits etc. worth adding to your list of tricks!
Love this thank you!!!
I like your videos are a very source of information for first timer travelling . I’m going to cancun 2w of April 2023 and i follow all your videos and tips what to do and not I hired nacho transfer after your advice Thanks
Omg thank you so much!!! That’s my only hope is that you all avoid some of the same mistakes that we have made. Have an amazing trip!!
Hi, I agree with everything you say . I have 12 years that I go to Mexico , even 4 times/ year. Mexico has soo much to offer
Yes!!! 🙌🏻
I watched a lot of your videos before I went to Cancun. They were extremely helpful. One thing that wasn't mentioned that became a problem before I realized it was...the vacation club. Do not fall for those. They are extremely hard to get out of if you miss the window to cancel it. Its also extremely expensive. Id love to see a video on this topic unless you've done one already and I just missed it. Great channel though. Thanks for all your "Hard Work" :)
Thank you so much for watching!!! That is such a great point!! I talk about it in the Grand at Moon Palace videos but in the general videos it would have been a good idea to mention!!! Thanks for mentioning it here!!!
@3Days3Noches Great video! Thanks for all the tips. Had a question. Will be traveling with my hubby & 4 kids to an all inclusive hotel. We will be staying in 2 rooms , do we get 6 wrist bands for everyone including the kids?
Ty for watching 😍. Yes you will get wrist bands usually for everyone!!
@@3Days3Noches Thanks for your quick response. Do we need to mention that 6 people will be staying in the 2 rooms when booking or do we just book the 2 rooms and they’l just give whoever is there wrist bands?
@heavychic100 usually when you book you have book the names of the people in each room but then you can switch once you’re checked in
@@3Days3Noches ok cool. I thought maybe cos they were kids I didn’t have to name them but could get wristbands for them when we get there. Thanks a lot ! I appreciate your advice! 🙏❤️❤️
Very nice, do you think mid of August is good time to go for vacation to Csncun with family and have you done any video on all inclusive family resort if yes please provide the link thnx
Thanks! The only one I’ve been to is The Grand at Moon Palace. The beach is not swimmable there though!! August is good. We went last august. Very hot lol. The Grand at Moon Palace kzhead.info/channel/PLtrRYnAI0ncqct_6wVElukEDSbC0ewUUd.html
Awesome video! Quick question, do you think Cancun is too far for a Friday - Sun trip? Im curious whether booking a weekend stay at an all inclusive resort is too short a time.
Thank you!!!! That’s what we created our channel on 3 Days 3nights!!! I personally think as long as it’s no more than 4-5 hour flight it’s def worth it! Here’s a video I did on it! It’s for 3 nights but 2 is fine too. We went to San Juan for 2 nights kzhead.info/sun/htCvqdaQfKluf4k/bejne.htmlsi=2IOLPXjKojZ6OSWL
@@3Days3Noches Thank you so much! Im excited to check out this video!
@truthis9745 thanks for watching!!
We just got back from 5 days in CANCUN. We stayed at EXCELLENCE RIVIERA -We did CLUB level. The experience was unbelievable! First off, it is immaculate, clean, staff are FANTASTIC and can’t say enough about that. The beach was beautiful but water was slightly brown, lil sea weed and algae, time of year they said. We had to go to Isla Mujeras Island to see the bluest water I have ever seen. It was truly amazing and we took huge sail boat over to island which was awesome. We had Club Jr Suite Ocean View and the room was amazing. It was 90 plus with humidity so the 65* in room was lovely. Several pools and club has own special restaurants and pools but we found ourselves with the younger and older crowds of pool where the swim up bar was great. The main “Club” only restaurant MAGNA was incredible and we ate a Tomahawk steak and Lobster. Remember we wanted “All Inclusive” so whatever we wanted to eat “Free” room service which we did several times “Free”. Listen to me lol no need to go anywhere else, EXCELLENCE was amazing. It was one of the best times we ever had at any place. Not far from airport, and you are catered too. You don’t have to TIP but we had plenty of pesos and american money and tips did push the catering over the top. ALSO SHOWS every day and night, bands, fun things to do, we tried archery , they have it all and lastly don’t miss the “COCO LOCOS’ out on the beach ! What a drink that was in an actual coconut.
I love it!! Thank you sharing!!! You should join our FB group and share it there too! m.facebook.com/groups/572572378298675/?ref=share&mibextid=SDPelY
I think that's where we're staying. Was it the dreams riviera?
Excellence!
@3Days3Noches my son just sent me your video and it was EXACTLY what I needed to see! Thank you sooo very much for the detailed information! I hope it's okay that I join your FB Group as well! 😊
@kymwhitehead3558 thank you for watching!! Of course!! I want as many people in there as possible!!
Oh my, 6-8 months to get passport!? They told my husband 6 weeks max a month ago. Im wondering if we need to cancel our Sept trip. It's his first time out of the county. We are so excited but thinking we may not be going for at least 6 months now. Your videos are SO HELPFUL! Thank you! I'd love to see EPM vs Xcaret! We are really torn btwn the two. Maybe you have and I just missed it. So glad I stumbled upon your vids on TikTok! ❤
When did you get it??? Hopefully it will come soon! Thank you sooo much. I haven’t been to either of those although Xcaret is on the list! I bet some of our members on FB have and you could ask there!!m.facebook.com/groups/572572378298675/?ref=share&mibextid=SDPelY
You'll be fine. I expedited mine and it took about 8 weeks.
Well that last one really surprised me!
🙈🙈🤣
All your travel clothes are so cute! You should start adding affiliate links to your outfits. I want that blue dress! 🥰
I do! They are all in the description or on our Amazon store front!!
Any recommendations for a family with little kids as far as all inclusive resort? Thanks
If beach isn’t a priority then Royalton Splash, the moon Palace, Finest z playa Mujeres. The hotel zone has some too and the beach is much nicer but rough surf
I’ve been to Cancun many times, and bring lots of tip money!!!

Question : could you please do video on the top excursions in Cancun? Thank you kindly!
I did this one awhile back! Cancun, Mexico | 5 BEST Day Trips | Things to Do in Cancun kzhead.info/sun/g6eRosigenp7jGw/bejne.html
We're staying in playa paraiso but wanted to take a day trip to cancun. Suggestions on where to go, what to see?
Hi! You could take the Ferry over to Isla Mujeres or do an excursion docs.google.com/document/d/1RJNCmoDPqcMkaLmFL2tLhN4VCAAWGOJrSiQeJx2xMHc/edit
I had a wonderful trip. But the airport of Cancun takes a lot of time almost 2 hours. Finally we got to the resort.
Did you check in a bag?? That’s prob why it took so long!!
@@3Days3Noches No, it was just the TSA line right when you land, took so long to get through it.
@manalincanada ugh!!!
Another tip for traveling snacks..you're not allowed to bring in uneaten fruit or jerky into Mexico from wherever you came apparently.. I learned the hard way when a dog with a military agent almost stopped me and I was confused about what because surely I thought they didn't think I had drugs on me lol when they let me go by I realized I had jerky and the dog smelled it haha 😂 still passed em 😅 but just so you don't get into some kinda trouble and wait longer to get to your ride I suggest to eat it all/ toss it lol
Ha ha omg!!!! Yes thank you!!!
Hi, my family are travelling to Cancun from England for the first time this year , and I found your video very informative. If I may ask a question about safety as you touched on this- is it ok to walk around the streets during the day around the resort ( we are staring at Margaritaville)? Thank you!
It’s very safe but I don’t think Margaritaville is near one of the towns you can walk around?
@@3Days3Noches Ok , thank you.
Thanks for watching the videos! You could take a taxi into Hotel Zone or Playa Del Carmen both are safe but just a lot of hustlers trying to sell you stuff.
Any feedback about the Royalton Riveira Cancun? Going end of June
We haven’t been but you can ask in our facebook group! I think the beach has a lot of seaweed m.facebook.com/groups/572572378298675/?ref=share&mibextid=SDPelY
Great review, my wife aren’t the party types and like the quiet resorts , any recommendations? .
It so depends on budget!!! Luxury look at Le Blanc. Budget look at Barcelo Maya Riviera
@@3Days3Noches thank you so much I really appreciate it . Cheers 🇨🇦
@mikepoint4717 join our Facebook group too and ask!
We recently booked with Nacho Tours to travel to our hotel in Playa del Carmen. I was wondering if you have done the Chichen Itza tour and if you have a recommendation for a tour guide?
Nice!! I have not yet! I’m sure Nacho knows someone!!
Hi, I just want to let you know your videos are very informative. I went to Dominican republic with my fiancé back in February and before we booked our trip, we watched a couple of your videos and it helped us tremendously. Now, we are considering going to Mexico in July, but wanted to ask you a few questions before hand. Our first question is do you have to complete an entry and exit form to enter Mexico? Our second question is what is your honest opinion on staying at a brand new resort? lastly, what transportation companies in Mexico do you recommend ?
Ty so much! That’s my hope that people find them informative and helpful. You do not have to fill out any forms going to departing. Staying at a brand new resort is great for a discount but be prepared for chaos lol!! We use www.nachotourscancun.com
Thinking of going my first time
Nice! You’ll love it!
@@3Days3Noches Mexico 🇲🇽 and USA 🇺🇸 I so want to go this year , thinking San Diego and maybe San Francisco not sure out of the 2 and cancun in January , definitely 💯 love your videos
Thank you!! Yes go!! 😎
@@3Days3Noches thanks 😊 beautiful
We are going in spring this year and do we need to book tours in advance through online or is it much cheaper there or at hotel ?
I would do it in advance. Sometimes they sell out. You can search some here and often you can book now and pay later. www.viator.com/?pid=P00070138&mcid=42383&medium=link&medium_version=selector
What are your thoughts on the JW Marriott? I will be staying there in July :)
We haven’t stayed there but heard it’s good!!
Can you recommend a good inclusive hotel for a group? We are travelling from Australia, Switzerland and Fiji for a 50th. I think inclusive is the way to go
Adults only?? And Cancun only?
@@3Days3Noches adult only would be excellent but we are open to anything. It just has to be inclusive and near the beach. We only doing Cancún for the week and my friends are continuing on to NYC and I’m going to Florida to do cruise to the Bahamas.
Check out the video we did on Excellence Playa Mujeres or Majestic Costa Mujeres! They might be good options
@@3Days3Noches thank you so much!
I have a trip to cancun coming up , following your videos I am planning to book Nacho taxi for our transportation from airport to our resort .. any tips which you can share ?
Thanks for watching!! Tips for booking with Nacho?? Check out our link tree that has a ton of info. linktr.ee/3days3noches
I am packing carry on only. How much sunscreen should I pack for myself? Hard to tell with travel sized items.... or should I just check over the money and buy some while on resort?
I usually bring two small spray cans and then a small lotion one for my face.
Seaweed will be terrible when I go soon :( Would you recommend a day trip to Isla Mujeres?
Yes absolutely!!
Do you recommend Fiesta American Condesa hotel ? Also you use Ado bus before ?
I didn’t like GF Coral but a friend of mine loved Condesa. Never used ADO bus. Always use Private transportation. For me it’s not worth saving the money.
Hello! Love this video - What is the official website that I can fill out the Immigration Forms ? I am planning a trip in 2 months and wanted to ensure I have everything I need . Thank you!
You don’t need to do that any more when flying into Cancun. Thanks for watching!! Check out the Cancun Airport video we did. We also do a lot of other videos on Cancun. kzhead.info/sun/gN2webaxiZmsg6c/bejne.html
Hey I have a question - we are arriving in Cancun on a Sunday. I already have peso bills from my bank here in the US. Unfortunately they could only get me 200's and I've heard it's hard to get change back when shopping there in Mexico and paying with a 200 peso bill. Is there anywhere in the Cancun airport where I can trade 200 peso bills for 20s and 50s on a Sunday?
Hi! Usually at the resort they can help you!! Great job being prepared :). You can also ask your driver that is taking you from the airport to the resort
I’m planning a trip to Cancún, Quintana Roo, Mexico from the end of June into July. The beach experience is a priority for me. Do you know if the beaches in that area are good?
Which resort? It’s best to stay around the hotel zone and Punta Cancun
It’s a Airbnb in the El Rey area. It’s more south of the hotel zone. I don’t want to stay at an all-inclusive resort because I want to do a lot of exploring while I’m down there. I’m also going for 2 weeks so it could get pretty pricey going to an all-inclusive.
That’s sounds fun!!! I don’t know much about that area
@@luisalbertobeltran4623 this is so helpful. GRACIASSSSS :)
Hey good info, but how do you get all your clothes and personal items without a checked bag If you need clothes for a whole week? Not all airline allow a carry on and even carry on bags can be too small. Also is it better to book a hotel for one or two nights online and then go in person to hotels when I’m down there for better rates?
Ty so much! I do several packing videos too!! You have to repurpose stuff and use the laundry service. You can’t usually walk in to resorts because there is security waiting to check you in. Maybe in the hotel zone you could. I’ve never tried that
Any recommendations on how i should get transportation from Planet Hollywood Cancun to downtown?
Is that in the hotel zone?? You can take the bus or have the resort call a taxi. The resorts work with reputable taxi drivers usually. You can always text Nacho via WhatsApp too, the transportation company that we use but they are usually busy with airport transfers +52 998 231 1398
We are a family of four (kids are 12 and 9) going to Cancun for first time mid July. We are staying at the Hyatt Ziva. My husband is urging me to cancel the trip due to the Sargassum and reports of crimes/deaths. I have watched your videos and others and feel that we will be safe staying on resort property but the sargassum problem has me worried. I have been keeping tabs on thr FB page you recommended and all looks good right now. What do you think mid Juky will look like?
Ugh I totally get it. That area usually stays pretty clean! Try going on Trip Advisor and see if there are any pictures from last July. I know it can depend but it might give you a better idea. Turks and Caicos opened back up. Beaches was amazing but probably double the cost of Hyatt Z 😢
This year there is this record breaking Sargassum mass headed this way. After living here on Isla Mujeres (off the coast of Cancun) for seven years, I know that sometimes some of the beaches along the coast get hit fairly heavily. They do go out with equipment early in the morning to remove it from the beaches, but still in the water there. Isla Mujeres has the advantage that North Beach (Playa Norte) is somewhat protected from the sargassum due to the constant strong northward current. The island itself splits the sargassum and the north end of the island generally remains fairly clear. The only exception is if there is a very strong north wind for many hours blowing it back to the south, but again, the local government gets crews out there to clean it up. BTW... according to Trip Advisor, Playa Norte is the #1 beach in all of Mexico. Look at Privilege Aluxes, or Mia Reef if you want an all inclusive, or Ixchel, Cabanas Maria Del Mar, Villa Kin, or Posada Del Mar if not all inclusive. As to the crime.... no worries unless you plan on selling drugs and are not a cartel member. Just don’t expect to be able to leave your cell phone on the golf cart seat, walk around or eat for an hour and return to find it still there. 😉 But seriously, I see 9 year olds walking by themselves after dark to the store a few blocks away for mom with no problem at all. And they do NOT have active shooter drills in schools here simply because that sort of thing just does not happen like it does in the USA.
This is great thank you!!
Thank you for all your wonderful videos. You’ve been a huge help to my wife and I in our resort stay planning. Here’s my question…. Are you still recommending Nacho Tours for CUN to Excellence Beloved transfers? Resort offer free transfers using Seasons Tours, but are they reliable??? OR is paying for Nacho worth it? Have you heard anything about Seasons Tours? Thank you for your help.
Thanks for watching! Yes Nacho is our guy. The free transportation is usually shared so you have to wait for everyone else to arrive at the airport before leaving. So that’s why we like to get private. His website is booknachotours.com
Is there a foreign tax to pay on arrival or departure? Staying in all inclusive nizuc but travel agent did not say and other travel sites mentions it
Not on arrival but supposedly there’s a visitax when you depart but usually it’s already in the cost of your flight
Never been to Mexico 🇲🇽 I’ve from london England 🏴 love your video
Thank you!!
@@3Days3Noches so welcome 🤗
1) how much does nocho charge for a taxi from the hotel zone port to get to isla to moon palace? 2) whuch beaches hace the blue water duribg this sea grass time? Heading the end of oct for my 20th wedding anniversary
Hi!! You have to contact Nacho for quotes. It’s all dependent on how many people and time of day etc. usually north of hotel zone like Punta Cancun etc and hotel zone area
What do you think about Riu Palace Las Americas Hotel? Also, any places you recommend that is fun around that area?? TIA
Hi! You should join our FB group and ask I think a few people have been there before. I’ve started getting away from the more budget friendly ones because you have to fight for chairs and the drinks aren’t always the best. Although they tend to be more fun. I heard Royalton Chic is fun

Hi quick question. roughly, around how much is the airport to hotel transfer (hotel zone) roundtrip? With nacho tours
It totally depends on number of people. Many people comment that he’s less
Which sunscreen is best for cancun trip ?
A strong one! The sun is hot! I usually use a spray one rather than lotion and just keep reapplying and get waterproof one
Hi! I’m a first timer going to Mexico at the end of September through beginning of October. Have you been during this time if so is the weather nice? I’ve heard it will be Be nice but since you’ve been so many times if you would tell me I would greatly appreciate it ❤
Hi! That is hurricane season! So it can be very nice but hurricanes also can happen
I’m planning my first ever trip to Cancun for next year. What’s the best way to get transportation from your resort to other places and excursions like the hotel zone?
Where are you staying!? I always do private transportation personally unless I’m in the hotel zone staying and they have $1 bus
Can you make some videos on Cozumel ❤
I did one about an excursion we took there! kzhead.info/sun/hbWJdrWumJ1tdYk/bejne.htmlsi=LtcUpd4AVnXhmsfs
Hi there, do you still have to fill out a paper forms on airplane ? If not, what kind of form do they require now? I know in Dominican Republic, we just filled out a form on line then get the QR quote and show them at the airport. Thanks
You do not! Everything is electronic now and you don’t need to fill anything out
@3Days3Noches do they have a website that I can go there fill out the form in advance?
No you don’t need that for Cancun!
@@3Days3Noches thank you.
🌞🌞🌞
Hi friends . May i ask you what website are you bought your ticket ( air and hotel all included ) and do you have something secrets . thanks and have a great day
We sometimes do it ourselves direct through the airline or resort or use our travel agent host. Email us at 3days3noches@gmail.com
if i land at 6:30pm on a saturday and i need to make the ferry by 930 will i make it ? and i would take a privet shuttle as well
Which ferry? The one for Cozumel? On a sat evening the traffic should not be as bad so you should be able to. If it takes you an hour to get out of the airport then an hour and a half to get there you still have plenty of time.
first timer going to Cancun for my 25th bday. All inclusive, ADULT only hotels with a GREAT party vibe?
Yayyy. Do you care about a nice beach??
Need that swingers Resorts list.
Not from me lol
What resorts have the swingers? I don’t want to end up at one lol
Ha ha I’m not sure but def pro at places like temptations and party resorts
Are the beaches and pools in the adults only resorts European style or are tops mandatory?
Most require tops! Some of the more party ones allow it
Great video, you covered pretty much everything a first timer needs to know... Just keep in mind that if your local currency is not dollars do not bring dollars, you'll be paying double exchange (from your currency to dollars and dollars to pesos) because at stores they use exchange rates that are not really convenient for tourists
Great point!!!
What do you think of the Wyndham Grand Cancun All Inclusive Resort?
Hi! I haven’t been! But I heard for the price it’s pretty good. I think it attracts more spring break crowd since it’s right near the nightlife etc. Maybe see if you can find a YT video on it!
@@3Days3Noches Another question - Have you seen snakes, scorpions, or tarantulas in Cancun resorts?
Yikesssss not yet and I hope not. Although I’ve seen on some Facebook posts people have at Excellence Playa Mujeres they have 🥹
Going to Cancun costa mujeres in early may
Love it!!
Should we/ can we bring insulated mugs in cancun? We’re going to an all inclusive resort
Yes definitely!!!
Thank you so much!
@corneliousryanbernal5682 thanks for watching!!!
Going in mid to end June, what can you say about the weather? Super rainy or will we get a chance to see the sun? :')
June should be nice and hot and sunny! Rainy season starts at the end of summer
We are going in October, hoping that that is not the rainy season
Yes it is but you can still have great weather. Going in October maybe too!!
me and husband thinking about going 22nd of may to go to cancun how is the weather?
The weather is usually beautiful then. But you know weather can be unpredictable!! They do get rain often since it’s tropics
When traveling from the us to cancun, do u only need a passport?
Yes! The immigration form is now done electronically when you arrive.
Hi, how do I get a reputable safe taxi? Does Nacho have taxi service?
He has a private transfer company! You can always reach out to him and see if he is available to take you where you want!
@@3Days3Noches Thank you for your speedy response. I love all your videos! Do you know how I can get a reputable cab service in Cancun?
Did you WhatsApp them?
Can you please explain what the "Sanitation Tax Per Night" is and how much it is per night please?
Ha ha I don’t know. I guess for removing trash?
I wonder if Hawaii is just a better option? Now that I look at prices in Cancun, they are very comparable to Hawaii. I thought Mexico was dramatically cheaper, but it doesn't appear to be when I look at prices online.
Yes I’ve seen the prices creeping up for sure! Hawaii though is much farther and it’s very expensive to eat there.
@@3Days3Noches - Yes, I had heard Hawaii food prices are crazy high! I was just thinking from a AirFare, Hotel standpoint, Mexico isn't very competitive in that regards. I might consider all-inclusive holidays in the Caribbean, not sure.
All Inclusive is def the way to go if you are trying to do something affordable!!
I want the checked bag because I want to bring things back from my trip 😂 its basically empty omw there
Haha I get it!!
I’m planning a trip the last week of June with my 17yr old daughter. This will be our first time out of the country. Any recommendations on budget friendly resorts with a teenager? I haven’t booked yet but have definitely been looking around for a great all inclusive that won’t cost an arm and leg 😂 so we can partake in a few excursions.
Awwww that’s so nice!! I haven’t stayed at RIU but I think those are budget friendly. Majestic Costa Mujeres is nice but a little off the beaten path.
I’m going in June with my wife and 21 year olds son I booked using Expedia thy seem to have the best deals I’m on a tight budget unfortunately I picked Ocean Coral & Turquesa All Inclusive I hope it s a good mixed reviews but frist time going anywhere
That’s exciting! Yes I think it’s about a 4 star there but you will have fun!!
Occidental costa Cancun all inclusive is budget friendly.
Thank you!
Hi, planning to go in Dec 2023 end with family and one kid. Any recommendations for all inclusive hotel with kid’s activities and good beach??
Totally depends on budget! Hyatt Ziva is on a calm beach - Finest Playa Mujeres - Hard Rock
I would vote for Hyatt if it’s on your budget
@@3Days3Noches which Hyatt ??
The one in the hotel zone. Hyatt Ziva
We can help you book it too if you need it. 3days3noches@gmail.com
How much money should I bring for tips on a week long vacation at an all inclusive? How much should I tip the service workers?
We usually bring around $10-20 a day. I out the tipping guide in the description too:)
Hi going to Cancun in November, recently I have been seen videos about visitax that is a exit tax specific for Cancun. Do visitors have to pay this or is that included in the air fare? I see on my United air ticket that there is a Mexico tourism tax and Mexico departure tax both around $11. I’m so confused by this.
Hi! Yes it’s included in the airline ticket but we are in Cancun right now and getting the final answers on it!!
@@3Days3Noches thank you when I went in nov 22 I was not asked any questions
Okay stay tuned !!
Hi just wondering if you were able to find anything out please?
Yes posting a video on it tonight!!
Hello! I asked this in a previous video but wanted to link back to it but is it required to pay for the Visitax or is that unnecessary? Thanks!
Hi!! Okay so the visitax thing is confusing because we’ve never paid it. I’ve seen people at the end of the escalator with signs about it but not stopping people. I also heard that the airlines put it in your flight already?!! So I’m thinking they may not enforce it or something
@3Days3Noches thanks for responding! Glad to know I'm not the only one confused about it 😃
🤣🤣🤣🌞🌞
Bring a waterproof phone case. Can't tell you how many folks I know forget about it being in their pocket when just wading in the sea and a wave comes by.
Great point!!!! Thank you!
Planning my honeymoon and this is so helpful. Would nov be a good month to travel? :)
Awwww congrats! Thanks for watching. We usually go to Cancun 2nd or 3rd week in November and the weather is pretty good. You’re still at the tail end of the rainy season.
@@3Days3Noches thank you for the reply!! patiently waiting for your next video. lol
Awww ty!!!
Pls don’t travel to Cancun for honeymoon It’s a place for friends and school n college students For honeymoon U should be choosing a relaxed place 😅 This place is super crazy
@@devsai21 I’m going to costa mujeres not Cancun :)
Hi, I am planning on going to Cancun in the 3rd weeks of August for honeymoon and it'll be out first time. Do you have any recommendation on where to stay and others?
Very exciting! It all depends on what your budget is!
