Street food in Playa Del Carmen

In my earlier videos I have told you to go a little off 5th ave to get the best deals. However if you want some great food at the best food prices -street food is the ticket. These vendors by the Mega -have some fantastic food at incredible prices.

The restaurants off 5th ave in Playa Del Carmen Mexico can be much more reasonable in terms of price. This restuarant was up the street from our hotel. (The Fives Downtown) it was only a block away from 5th ave but the prices were a lot more reasonable. This Italian Restuarant had some incredible offerings. We ate there a few times during our stay.
Lunch at El Ranchito

El Ranchito de la 10 in Playa Del Carmen is a great place just off 5th for the very hungry but budget concious traveler. We stopped in a couple of times because the food was so reasonable and the portions were ample.
Dinner at El Fogon in Playa Del Carmen
Просмотров 2035 месяцев назад
We had to try El Fogon while we were in Playa Del Carmen. Everyone who does a good vlog about places to eat in Playa seems to end up here. There ratings on Travelocity are really good and I think there are about 7 locations so you should be able to find one near where ever you are staying. We really enjoyed our meal, although we could have ordered half of what we ordered and still been quite sa...
Dinner at Mu BurgerHouse in Playa Del Carmen

We had a nice dinner at Mu BurgerHouse. They have locations in Playa Del Carmen, Tulum and Cancun. The setting was incredible and the food was as well. We had heard complaints online about the location we went to not having wine available or shortages of some items. We were fortunate enough to be there on a night that wine was available.

Spend Half As Much on Cab Fare in Puerto Vallarta
How deep is the deep pool ? 5ft?
That is a good question I am not sure they were any deeper than that - the recreation staff ran a lot of games in them and I recall there were a lot of smaller kids using both of the deep pools that were near the beach
Thanks for the tour! Was it loud at night for sleeping? I read that there’s a nightclub nearby
We had a room that had a balcony overlooking the courtyard. Initially we were disappointed we didn’t have an outside view but we realized these rooms overlooking the courtyard are really sheltered from the noise out on the street
@@larrymathieson5985 that’s exactly what I needed to know, thank you! Will book a courtyard room then :)
@VKat the roof top is great - and there are lots of great eating places within walking distance
@@larrymathieson5985 that sounds super convenient and exactly what I’m looking for! 😊 It’ll be our first time in PDC so being centrally located and able to walk around is a must! We will do a few nights here before going to a typical all inclusive resort in Cancun. For PDC I want a hotel that is still 5 star but affordable and from your video, this looks perfect 👍🏼
Love the video and the music ❤
Thanks
What time of year did you go?
This trip was near the end of April - we also went to Dreams Macao Beach in this area this past January both were pretty good times of year to go to Punta Cana
Thank you for the video. I’m staying in the area by Brisas @5:13. How long does it take to walk there from the beach/ sign area?
It is not very long- you start hitting the edge of the town site in 15- 20 minutes walking up the beach - another 10 minutes or so of walking takes you as far in as the Bucerias sign
Ok but how did it taste...?
It was really quite good- we like to go to Mexico as much as we can so we’re thinking Mexican in the DR it can’t be too authentic -we were pleasantly surprised . And the service was top notch
We are there from the 2nd until the 13th
Enjoy your trip it is a great resort
I got a preferred club JS swim out room does that come with all the access included or there is still some areas/restaurants not included? I heard there’s a restaurant that has breakfast and lunch i think it was but only for certain rooms.
The preferred status gets you into the breakfast and lunch restuarants as well as a special pool and a private lounge
@@larrymathieson5985 thank you!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experiences 😊
My pleasure. Are you heading to PV for a vacation ?
Thoughts of your adults room over the family section room ? Did you access the adults only beach & pool area ? Thank you in advance for your reply.
The family rooms were bigger nicer and newer. They were great when our kids and grandchildren were with us. The pool areas were great. We didn’t use the adult pool at all. The adult rooms were much closer to the buffet and the beach. They did have the monkeys too. That is hard to compete with
@@larrymathieson5985 thank you for your reply, your videos were a great help and very informative.
Is it safe to walk outside the resort in the surrounding area, and maybe go into some of the popular places in Puerto Vallarta?
It is pretty safe. We walked down to the nearby grocery stores. PV is a cab ride away but we did quite a bit of walking around. The Malecon is pretty busy at night lots of people and families walking around. We did quite a bit of walking around the romantic zone at all times of night and day. Be safe and stick to areas where there are a lot of people around
6:05 that makes sense.Mexican fish eat tortillas.👍🏻
The best informative vlog I have found on this desort, we visit this August
I hope you have a great trip. We really enjoyed our time.
What date you going? Am also going in august 10-17.
2nd until the 13th
Is the Steak house also part of the all inclusive or you have to pay separate for that?
It was when we were there. I think it still is part of the all inclusive package but I could be wrong.
Do you remember your room number? That swim out look super private
I don’t recall now. Sorry
✌️ 'PromoSM'
40 min drive from the Puerto Vallarta airport? It is only 16km away, so more like 20-25min drive
Yes in ideal traffic over the last two trips to the resort we have realized time of day can make a huge difference in taxi/Uber time to PV One of our unfortunate trips was over 2 hours from the resort to the Malecon. Mosts\ trips to or from were somewhere between 20 and 40 minutes
very hard to hear the gentleman speaking, music was to loud
Thanks for the review.. my husband and I are going in the coming months
I know you will have a great time. Enjoy your vacation.
Question my husband had knee surjery are they walk in showers
I’m going in July with my husband! How is traveling outside of the resort? Is there tours hosted by the hotel?
How much was your cab to puerto vallarta?
I don’t remember how much the cab was. The front desk told us how much was standard. Cabs on this side are way way cheaper than the Cancun /Mayan Riviera side
Enjoy your trip
Another great tour. Of the 3 rius which one is closest to bucerias? T.i.a.
The Palace Pacifico is closest to Bucerias
Going there in one month from now. June 5th, 2024.
Have a great trip
@@larrymathieson5985 thank you.
Fjate que yo tengo reserva con booking para diciembre, aun no me han debitado pero pronto lo harán, en que fecha fuiste tú? Es que muchos dicen que esa playa se mantiene con mucho zargazo, que mejor vaya a bávaro, y he pensado en cambiarme hacia el barcelo bavaro, pero este jewel palm beach me apasiona en los videos, pero me interesa la playa, la viste sin mucho zargaso y en que fecha llegaste. Gracias por tu video.
We went in October - the seaweed was not too bad. They did a lot of work on the beach. We enjoyed the resort and did lots of long walks on the beach. You can walk for miles
Thanks for the tour. Going in december do you remember what types of beer they serve?
You will be one of the first to experience the new Reno’s. Let me know what you think. I don’t remember what kind of beer they served
Very cool town! Lots of great eats too!
How’s the entertainment?
The entertainment area is a nice open air venue. Our son and law took the older kids to the show one night and he said it was great. The kids got photos with the performers
When did you folks go when you film this video?
We were there in October -the week of the 17th
decor is cheesy ---- 3words
My wife would agree that modernizing the furniture will not hurt
Nice video.
Thanks!
Chilean if you time it right. Clearest snorkel I've ever done. 150' + visibility. Memorable to say the least.
It is incredible. Can’t wait to return
Why the review ? The resort is closing next month for a full blown renovation. This review is null and void !
Can we get a rating on the food they serve ? 😋
Hi Larry! I just came across this in my RUclips feed. Which resort did you walk from to Bucerias? Would love to do this on our next trip to PV.
We were at the Riu Palace
No private beach?
Well technically in Mexico it is illegal to have a private beach as the constitution gives access to all citizens to all beaches. In some cases it is difficult to access a given beach without going thru a resort -but this beach you can walk for 29kms - and there are plenty of places to access the beach
Hola Larry, 😊 saludo desde Ciudad de Mexico,
this video needs some work. i like the info provided though.
Love the Pacifico! One of my favorite vacation spots… FYI they are supposedly renovating the ENTIRE resort.
Weight scale isn’t to be cruel - it helps to know if your luggage is within weight limits to fly. 😃
Okay -that is a good point. I thought it was a deterrent
Good thorough video, but there seems to be a problem with the audio that made it a bit difficult to stay focused on your commentary. Sometimes two voice overs at once, and other times the background sounds are louder than the voice overs. Thanks for recording your experience.
Beautiful. Hope to go next winter
It is an amazing location. Enjoy your trip
Natural pool is what they called it, sand bar is in a lake I think, we have a sand bar at our lake cottage 👍 We loved this experience, it’s paradise for sure
Yes it is really worth the day trip. We really enjoyed ourselves as well
If a person has a disability is it possible to go down from the lobby to the dining room bypassing the steep stairs. Thanks
What was your room called? Preferred deluxe?
I think it was Privileged junior suite. It wasn’t yet renovated with the modern furniture. However the ‘privileged’ feature gave us access to everything and the access to the BLoved restaurant alone was worth it
@@larrymathieson5985 oh yes I have learned from my all inclusive travels to always upgrade. Totally worth it to me! Thanks for responding so quickly even though it’s an older video. This resort is at the top of my list for July, so I’m binge-watching reviews on it! Thanks for yours!
@@dawnweissling5623 we loved it. We went years back and had to return. It is a smaller resort which we like and it really has quite a following of loyal repeat guests. There are a few Facebook groups the majority of the comments seem to be from raving fans
Hi!!! Where are the closest bars to each of the water parks? Merci :)
Great video btw me my wife and my boys ages 10 and 6 are gonna go there in august for 10 days is it a long walk to the beach ?
Is is a long way to the beach? Looks like Iberostar Tucan is in front of this resort? Thank you for the tour! These videos really help us decide :)
Thank you so much for showing us this hotel that we are going to in October... great video 👍🇬🇧
I hope you have a great vacation
I cant wait to get there.
