Thanks for watching. We know people who love it there. There is beauty in every city. Fortunately we all don’t like the same places or it would be even more crowded!!
People think the South in the US is not cold, but Jan Feb is usually cold because of the humidity. Even here in SWFL it gets pretty cool in Jan Feb although not as cold as it gets in NWFL where I was born and raised. I spent 10 days in Panama in 2021 and I loved it because of the peaceful feeling. No fast pace, no politics, no loud people racing around. Boredom is a thing that keeps me from doing it long term. I am a homebody and like to mostly stay home, putter around in the yard, the pool, cook or watch YT. So you say the pool was too cold? Wow I was under the impression that it was HOT there... Thanks for that comment. Over 4k for 28 days? wow. Sounds like a big no. I want to go where my total budget for a month is less than 2k.
In hindsight I would have skipped the pool to bring our overall cost down. Lesson learned! We are currently in SWFL enjoying the sun and a pool! Thanks for watching!
Omg that is cheap ! You stayed in a beautiful place . Ate like crazy, had private pool ! If it was hotter you would have felt different . ❤thanks for the honesty and real . You plane was beautiful ! ❤
We spent 7 months housesitting in Merida back in 2015, and I agree with what you said - it isn't necessarily a great tourist town for more than a few days (most of the great things to do are several hours away), but it is a terrific place to live. We stayed in the north east of the Centro and I would love to go back. And if you want to use the pool, go in the summertime, it gets VERY HOT and the pool will be much more useful then! lol
Very typical review from a very gringo perspective, ESPECIALLY of the Deliverance variety. I suppose compared to a podunk town like Memphis, Merida might not be as cheap (or they just took advantage of clueless gringos, but trust me when I tell you Merida is cheaper, cleaner and safer than New York...
thanks for your honest review
Thanks for watching!
Always enjoy your honest reviews and appreciate the points you choose to nightlight ... those are important to us too!

Omg how can you not be into Mayan culture ! It’s so amazing and beautiful ❤
It is amazing and beautiful. We had recently done other visits to Mayan ruins. Thanks for watching.
If you want well maintained sidewalks try Morelia or Queretaro..
Good to know. Thanks for watching.

We loved our place. It was affordable and super safe. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for watching. If there is a next time we will go when it is warmer for sure.
Those are some dangerous sidewalks.
I am a klutz too so not a good combination! Thanks for watching.

Interesting perspective. I would expect it to be significantly cheaper than NYC. Safer than Memphis too. Thanks for watching.
