This gives me stay at home mom vibes and over worked dad who is tired of paying for everything and is reminiscing on the "good ol days".
I work full time and run my own business solely (on top of working full time). I foot the bill for most of our trips. Wishing you peace, love and prosperity!
This is the best honest and most in-depth review I've seen. I needed this video! Thanks for showing the menus, the kids areas, the food places, the beach, and especially the show. I couldn't find much about the entertainment. I'm looking for a smaller scale resort but geared towards families and this looks like what I want. You know what I especially noticed? No huge lines for food or drinks. Huge plus in a smaller resort.I'm looking at booking in September.
Thank you so much, that means a ton. I tried to make a video that covered everything that I couldn't find in a video when I was researching this location. I hope that you have a GREAT time on your vacation!!
Thank you for the video. So sorry your daughter was sick. You and your husband are hilarious and I appreciate this content and humor so much! Cheers!
Wow, thank you for the kind words (not so rude) Gert! Glad that you liked the content.
I have to say this is one of the best vlog for family friendly resort. My 9 yr old daughter would absolutely love this resort. Thank you so much for this ❤❤
Thank you so much! It was my pleasure to create this, so glad that it helped :D
Thank you for making this video. I’m planning Cancun trip, we have 2 little girls. It’s very helpful!
Thank you for watching and glad that it was helpful! We are going back to Cancun, visiting the Villa Del Palmar Cancun, so another video will pop up in Feb / March reviewing that resort!
Family Vacay to Wyndham in a week so this in depth review helped a lot! thanks
Thanks for the video! My family and I were there in July and had a wonderful time. It was fun to see the hotel again:) (beach tacos🔥🔥🔥)
Ha thanks! Glad to hear that it was a good experience for you and your family as well.
Thank you so much for such good information. It’s very helpful we are also visiting in fall break. 🎉
So glad that you found it helpful! :D enjoy your trip... wish we could go back soon.
@@perfectpals thank you! Just one more question Wyndham alltra don’t have shuttle service. How did you go form airport to the resort?
@@iqragulzar828 Hi! Sorry for the delay. When you book your trip direct through Wyndham Alltra, they give you the option to add transportation. We added whatever transportation was offered and it worked out perfectly. It wasn't clear during the booking process that the transportation includes BOTH when you arrive and when you depart - can't beat the price knowing that. I can't find the actual company that provided the travel, but when going through the booking process with the hotel we added "Package Name: Round Trip Private Standard Airport Transfer"
this vlog/review was gold! adorable family! we are contemplating booking here, and I think your video sealed the deal for us!
any chance you happened to see what their top shelf tequila is?!
Thank you so much, and hope that you have a blast!
Thanks so much for the video. Im going in sep. Whxih restaurant serve steaks? And does the hotel offee shuttle to downtown? Thanks
Great review! I read a few reviews about poor/no air conditioning in the restaurants and the rooms. How was your experience?
We didn't have any issues to that note, that I recall. But it's been almost two years since we were at this resort so you may want to read more recent reviews to see what people are currently saying! Thanks for watching :D
Thanks for sharing, I’m booking!
Have a blast!
Great video! Ive been looking at this resort, and this video is super helpful. As a first time all-inclusive visitor I was wondering. What would be in your opinion, some acceptable tipping amounts for drinks, dinners, and snacks?
Hi! Technically it's a "tip free" resort but we tipped like we would typically tip here in the USA. I believe that I brought $300 cash and divvied that out over the 5-6 days we were there. Plus we also tipped the kids camp attendants a hunk of cash at the end of our trip.
Great video. Thanks for sharing your experience. Would you recommend for a couple celebrating an anniversary?
Thank you! If you don't mind kids being around then yes. But I know that there are plenty of adult only resorts in MX.
This is great to hear. Reviews can be so trickly. We are planning for next year with our 3 boys!! Are there buffets options all day?
My kids are not the best at sit down restaurants 😊 Ventanas looks amazing though
How long was your trip?
I don't think that you'll regret it if you book here! It was pretty perfect for our family - Camp Alltra was amazing for the kids and also so you can get a break, and I know they have those rooms with 3 beds for kids which would be perfect for your family. I *think* that only the Ventana's buffet was open all day, the downstairs one (right underneath Ventanas) was only open for breakfast and dinner (when it became the Asian place.) I hope that you and your family have a blast!
@@perfectpals thank you so much. It helps to here from a real person lol. Yes we plan to get that 3 bed bunk sort of room. This helped a lot. I will def secure for next year. I know that’s strange asking now but We plan a year out to budget with our large family.
@@stacyb6461 Totally get it! It's my pleasure to help.
Where was the Ventana restaurant? Is this walking distance from your hotel or on the strip somewhere. Also the Salsa taco on beach place
Hi! To access Ventana, when you walk into the resort pass through the lobby / check in area. Before you were to head outside to the pool area, take a right, past the Mexican restaurant (Casa De Rosa) and follow that hall and you'll walk right into Ventanas. To access the salsa beach taco place, if you visit the beach bar at the hotel, walk past it and the little taco place will be on your left. Hope this helps!
Hi! I enjoyed your vidéo. I'll be at this hotel in april. I was wondering how does it works for diner réservation. Thanks!
Thank you! And awesome, I hope that you have a GREAT time! They do not take reservations. To get into the Italian place, your best bet is to get there 10 - 15 minutes before it opens to get in if you want to eat right at 5pm or whenever it opens. I went there like 10 minutes after it opened at 5pm, and the next available time to eat there would've been 7:30pm at night, so at least when we were there, it was the most difficult to get into. The other places didn't have a wait when we went to eat. But the busyness of each restaurant probably depends night by night. Have a blast when you're there!
From what age is the kids camp available. I have a 22 months old do they have activities for toddlers. Or just for older kiddos
Hi Jennifer, I did not see younger kids in the camp - you might want to email them and ask what the age limitation is? Sorry I don't know the answer to this!
From which state u travelled to cancun. Was it direct flight
Cleveland, Ohio
Thank you for reviewing! Is room service available 24hrs?
Hi Kimberly! I honestly don't know the answer to that question, we never used room service during our stay.
What mode of transportation did you guys use from the airport to your hotel? Thank you
We used Discova (I believe is what it was called!) By booking direct with the hotel, they offer you transportation. Highly recommend, it was a very good experience. You'll have a to do a little waiting at the airport but nothing unreasonable.
This was helpful. Question, they say not to drink tap water so how do you deal with ice in you alcohol? did you avoid ice? Thanks! ❤
We did avoid the H2O as a precaution. I had my Dr. prescribe something in case we ended up sick from the H20 but none of us got sick. We used bottled H20 to brush our teeth and never put the tap water into our mouths. However, we did use ice in our drinks and had no issues. I did order a Coke once and it tasted different and my tummy felt rumbly after, so I decided to avoid it - the Coca Cola came from the tap not a can so was probably mixed with their H20.
Hello is all of the food free?Also did any of the restaurants make salmon?
Hi! The resort is all inclusive, so all food, beverages AND alcohol are FREE! I do not remember seeing Salmon on the menus, but I'm honestly not 100% sure.
silly question....does all inclusive meaning all meals and drinks included in the resort?
There’s no such thing as a silly question! Yes all inclusive means that all food and drinks - including alcohol (name brand) is included - you don’t need to pay anything more. We brought cash so I could tip but the hotel states that you don’t have to tip because it’s “included” but the staff works really hard to make for a great experience
@@perfectpals thanks for this info. because of your youtube, we pulled the trigger on this and looking very much forward to it. another question; we have been trying to set up the shuttle situation through DISCOVA by phone but unsuccessful. Did you do this online or over phone? any tips? thx!!!
Hi@@agentgringo1996 ! I believe what happened was that the hotel / Discova emailed shuttle information closer to our departure - like a week prior to going to Cancun. I remember it was quite easy once they emailed me transportation details. I hope this helps and I hope that you enjoy your trip.
how much should one tip each meal?
Technically you don’t have to tip your server, but I don’t believe that they make a lot of money. Tipping is at your own discretion but in the United States we tip about 20%.
Do they have their own airport transportation?
Yes they do, when you book your trip direct through the resort you will have the option to choose transportation which includes both trips to and from the airport!
Solo traveler here. Would you if you had choices stay here if you were a solo traveler?
It probably depends on what you're looking for as a solo traveler. If you're OK with having families / kids around (not like an overload, but a normal amount that you'd expect at a hotel or resort with families vacationing) then yes, it was a great experience. It quiets down later in the evening from what I understand, but we only stayed up until 9 or 10pm any given night, so couldn't really tell you what the nightlife is like anyway. Apparently the pool and ocean area are still popular places to hang at night, so I heard. So this isn't like a "party vibe" hotel but you can find that outside of the hotel at clubs and what not. I hope that helps?
The steak restaurant was horrible. The steak 🥩 was tough and dry
What was the steak restaurant again?
@@perfectpals let me think we ate breakfast at azul which was okay. The steak house was passed the large bar then outside to the left overlooking the zonal hotel street. We did love the empanadas there but the steak was hard.
We liked the ice cream and the slushy machine which offered watermelon slushy. We loved the ocean view room but I paid $160 a day more each day but definitely worth it , which included the VIP LOUNGE, black wristband. The vip lounge had sushi and a bar, pool table but no view.
Worst day was when the two cops robbed us of 200 saying my son didn’t have his seatbelt on correctly. Funny, it’s ok to stand in the back of an open truck but we get fined. I get the corruption but it sucks when it happens to you.
I probably won’t return because it’s just too freaking humid and hot and the police thug incident. I’ve rented a car before and never had an issue but tulum area is worse. Finally my son enjoyed the coffee shop. He thought it was cool because all you had to do was ask. Sorry, lastly at the steak restaurant the hostess to us an hour and 40 minute wait because we didn’t have reservations, so I snuck her 20 bucks and volla we were seated in 5 minutes, no kidding..what’s the name of the steak place? We didn’t eat at the Italian restaurant or the fish restaurant.
And the steak house was called “at sunset” we ate azul for breakfast by the pool. First day there was ample food and the second day there were so many people I couldn’t even get the watery eggs. I was happy with the service there but I tip very well and get excellent service. Maid was given 38 bucks and she brought us a case of the free water , 15 towels and mucho toilet paper
@@NukeChina-k2b Geez I'm so sorry to hear all of this! I will tell you that there were some good and enjoyable things about staying here, but this past year we stayed at Villa Del Palmar (not in the hotel zone) and it was excellent all around. Check that place out next time you head to MX.
@@perfectpals we once stayed at the ritz Carlton , which is no longer there, and I was not impressed. I think my days of visiting Mexico are over. It is getting dangerous so stay within the hotel zone. We’re going to return to Hawaii even though it’s very expensive I don’t have to worry about extortion.
Be safe and never travel alone in Mexico and be careful of the taxi drivers. Growing up my parents had a beach house in cantamar Mexico 🇲🇽; around 40 minutes south of Tijuana on the beach so we would go often. I was always hearing about corrupt cops , my dad told to pay taxes for taking appliances over the border but now it worse with the kidnappings
