You are still #1. No one touches the video and review quality.
Great video!! Lots of helpful info! Thank you!!
You put out the best hotel videos on here. You were spot on with this review.
My gf and i stayed at this PH for 2 weeks a little over a year ago. One thing we enjoyed for a few relaxing nights was the free movies at the movie theater on site.
I had to subscribe. I’ve seen a few of your videos, and so far your reviews are excellent. As a person who travels extensively for work and leisure I rely on such reviews to make my choices. I stayed at the Riu in costa Mujeres and when I walk the beach, I pass by Planet Hollywood pretty much every day. Didn’t realize it was such a big resort. Thank you again for this wonderful review.😊
Love your videos! The video on Hard Rock Punta Cana is what made us decide to have our wedding there! Definitely checking for you to see where we want to go for our anniversary!
Excellent work as usual brother! Keep them coming!
Great review, thanks James
I love your honesty!
Beautiful resort very luxurious ❤
Been 9 times and this makes me wanna go back TOMORROW!! My favorite resort tbh
Thanks really appreciate your viewpoints!
Great video again bud....Wife and I are off to Barcelo Riviera Maya for New Years!!
We recently stayed 2 weeks at Royalton Splash Rivera Cancun. There are sooooo many similarities I noticed when watching this video. Love your videos!
I Love your videos! Allows me an opportunity to peak in on a resort that I definitely wouldn’t consider -but as an “all inclusive” person -I find it super interesting to live the experience through you. Your review confirms my suspicions: “all that glitters isn’t gold” -kinda an over-the-top tacky place.
Planning on Planet Hollywood Costa Rica in 2024!!! Thanks for all your insight on another one 🙏
Just came back. Had a great time!!
Just finished watching this awesome video and I already wanna see TRS Coral!!
Will be in Playa Del Carmen tomorrow night, then Cancun. Maybe you will do a video at Hyatt Ziva? Heard many wonderful things about the resort.
Awesome! Great video! I share your content alot in our community
Thanks 3D3N - that could be your brand/logo :)
looking forward to TRS
I enjoyed this resort especially the lazy river. The food was great as was the swim out room.
Great video. What’s the weather like in early May?
Love the content James. Did you try the room service? Used to seeing you hit that hard on arrival. 😁
This was extremely helpful in making my decision to visit this property
Thanks James!
🙏
Hey I met you in Punta Cana at the Finest and the Excellence in April this year and we chatted a lot and I asked you if you have been at Planet Hollywood and you said that you have not but will try. Your comments are exactly what I stated as well as it is a party place for all ages.
Yo Alan - It was great meeting you and your Mrs and talking with you both over that week. I definitely remember you mentioning that you enjoyed this property and have been multiple times. I was supposed to film this in July but had to postpone until now.
When are u going to the new Fontainebleau in Las Vegas? I love your room reviews! ☺️
Another great video...just wondering if the rooms on this resort were damp and had a musky smell? Thanks.
Love your reviews.. Will definitely have to give this place a visit. Not too concerned about being out in the middle of nowhere.. Have been to Mexico so many times and have done all the tours. Just want a place to relax by the pool or by the beach and the adults only area is a big plus for us.
I enjoy your videos They are well done and cover a wide variety of resorts many that are out of my price range but many that are more affordable We did visit the RIU Republica a few years back and enjoyed it but we tend to like the snaller resorts
James, just starting my youtube channel.. your videos are inspirational
Great review James! Any unique craft cocktails offered?
I had some really unique drinks here, but all of them were random and solely and completely designed by the bartender at my request. It's not a craft cocktail all inclusive like you perhaps have experienced or seen on my Channel.
Dude you need to start doing cruises! I think that would be a good change up !
I think your reviews are the best, Love Them! I am planning a family trip for adults to Cancun. We are looking for a fun and exciting all-inclusive. I am leaving towards the Hard Rock. What would be your suggestion? Thanks
Booked a trip for September at the Adult scene star class swim out room! So excited!!
Enjoy!!! 🏝️
Missed you at ph. Arrived same night you probably left. I can tell from that event at your video. Would have loved to meet you and be in the videos. I’m still here now 😂
We went to Royalton Splash in Cancun and it was quite similar vibes as this maybe owned by same company. Royalton splash was awesome and so much fun. Planning to go to PH next.
Love your videos! Planning to go to cancun in next year or 2. Can anyone recommend the best time of year to go? Seen conflicting info online regarding when Is dry and when is hot. Thanks
My girlfriend and I went to PH in Cancun and had an awesome time! I guess for us it was pretty consistent all the way through for us. Service was good, food was okay, drinks were cold and usually pretty dang quick. We stayed in the junior suite with a king bed and upgraded to the adults only wristband and had access to the adults only restaurants (Catch and Braza). With that, we also had access to the adults only side of the beach. All around, for us it was a great time and look forward to going back some time.
Hi James, great video as always! Could you please tell me what is the name of the first song in this video. Shazam can´t help. :-) Thank you!
Living that life
Please go to Xcaret Arte in Playa del Carmen. It will not disappoint at all. The food, the ambience, the entertainment is 100 out of 10 and it includes all the parks.
Hey do you think you’re gonna check out the fountainbleau Vegas?
Thank you for saving us money and a trip!!
You are an Elite Vlogger, and there's very little company up at the top with you. 👍
Another great video . I’d never stay anywhere like this due to allowing kids but looks impressive . Way too big to visit as a couple , way too many variables .
Can’t wait for you to experience the service at secrets cap Cana , if that doesn’t blow you away I don’t know what will
planning on getting there 2024
@@Coolistwell if you’re there in March beers are on us 😀
@@Coolist when you go make sure you get to see the Queen show
@@Coolist it’s just been awarded 5* diamond status so will be intrigued to see if you think it’s deserved . Not sure what others have that award that you’ve visited
What was the beach like ?
Looks good in the video but im wondering if its rocky in the ocean ?
That balcony Jacuzzi is sick
Apologies if you've answered this prior. What price point do you consider budget, moderate, and luxury resorts nowadays?
Great review James!
Wasn't Planet Hollywood part of Marriotts Bonvoy Program at one time?
Yo Phre! It still is because of Royalton's affiliation with Marriott.
@@Coolist Excellent that's what I thought.
Have a great Christmas James! The girlfriend and I will be on the Celebrity Ascent over Christmas which is their newest ship. I think it's a ship that fits your style and level of food expectations. It looks fantastic!
🎅🚢👍👍
Awesome James! I was considering staying here recently but heard several counts of quite a few kids coming over to the adults only side. Was this the case or do they enforce boundaries well? Thanks for sharing brother
I did not experience that whatsoever, but I have at other properties in the past. Both the parents and property should be stricter in scenarios like that.
@@Coolist thanks for the response brother..I will have to check this place out sometime as I already had my eye on it. Cheers 🍻
Would like to see you try Macau and compare to Vegas.
great vid as always. I've been eyeing this property since June. How was the gym? Potentially looking to go solo so that would be a top priority on my list
Gym was double decker open 24/7
@@Coolist Double-decker? Does that mean 2 floors?
Have you stayed at hotel cascada in tj? It's amazing
So, @Coolist, when are you heading to Temptations Cancun?
Hi Coolist, I am wondering which resort would recommend for late night night life til like 2-3 am. Secondary priorities would be decent food (doesn't have to be 10/10 I didn't have any issue with Riu's food could be better but, not a deal breaker) and top shelf alcohol selection ie don julio, glenlevitt, johnny black). Do you think Planet Hollywood or Lopesan would be better? Or any other suggestions that you have would be appreciated open to Jamaica, DR or Mexico I have stayed at Riu Palace Costa Mujeres , Sandals Ochi, and Sandals Royal Caribbean enjoyed them all in their own ways.
I had the same experience, but the beer at the adult pool was always warm.
Exactly. It's just inconsistent. Considering the price, it's Very lovable and forgivable - but askew in many areas ...
I appreciate all your honest reviews, I am looking for a place for our 20th anniversary in May of 2025 so I watch all your reviews,lol@@Coolist
Gorgeous decor
I like the post modern / futuristic style also. It's not for everyone, but I definitely enjoyed it
Does all of the director suites have the jacuzzi tubs in them and how many bedrooms is that
I hope it is the new Margaritaville that you're going to next but I hear there is no beach. So maybe both Margaritavilles? I stayed at the Riviera Cancun location and although the beach was lackluster, we arrived the day after a hurricane. But the service and all the food was perfect and enough bars and restaurants for a resort with less than 150 suites.
No beach isn't a dealbreaker for me. I won't be heading that direction this trip though
James, you brought me back. Thank you I needed that. I’m planning 2024 and Mexico for June. You still need to get to Hotel Xcaret. Near the top on my list.
Xcaret Arte is the newer Adults side I highly recommend it, we'll be visiting PH Adult Scene next month.
I want to go to arte, but the prices😫
@@JEHR92 OCEAN FRONT SWIM UP ADULTS @ CASA DE LOS ARTISTAS building has the best views. We've been to a lot of resorts in Quintana Roo and it had the best of all of them altogether. Needless to say, the bar is set pretty high now, we'll see if PH Adult Scene can live up to the hype. You can check out our review here if ya like @hollierobstraveladventures
I just saw that it was rated one of the best hotels. High on the top 100 in the world list
@@Coolist You've gotta check it out James, the roof top pool is really cool. Also check out the Las Cuevas buffet and don't skip the speakeasy ;)
Between ph and riu palace.
Is tha the new secret hotel??
I just came back from PH and it was good. Wasn't much of a fan of the drinks, they were watered down, the spot to eat was Brasa Brazilian steakhouse for dinner and breakfast. The main buffet was great also. The beach was surprisingly great, clear water and they take care of the seaweed in the mornings.
When you think about returning to D.R. I recommend you to stay at Hyatt Ziva Cap Cana.
I'll be staying at Zilara next year
@@Coolist I just went to Hyatt Ziva Cancun. It was awesome, best service I've had in Cancun but not a party vibe. Food was good too no waiting for tables. I loved it.
Do you have plans to go to Atelier, impressions moxche or Mousai cancun?
Absolutely, but not on this trip - that's a special property and I need some time to prep for it.
Thanks, love your honest review s, but wish you could check out the gyms at each resort.
I usually do
Is there a seawead issue on the beach at this part of cancun
Any water sports for example is it possible to go jet skiing?
There was one guy in a jetski in the video. Probably a vendor out there?
I was just there last week also, and although the resort was really nice, the service was terrible. the butlers promised stuff but then didn't communicate tot he other butlers or departments. was quite disappointing. you are lucky that you got your food so quick at East. we were sat at 8 pm, other tables sat at the same time, they had food, drinks and were finished and gone before we even got appys. the Indian place was the best of the bunch tho.
I really wanted to try the Indian Place but just couldn't get over there. In retrospect, I should've swapped it with the steakhouse on my third night.
we did 8 nights and I let the kids choose the last night and they asked for round two at the Indian. Ill have to check out more or your videos as I take the kids on a holiday every year instead of buying them xmas and birthday gifts. So far we have tried Dreams Playa mujares, Barcelo Maya Caribe and now PH. Looking at maybe a RIU or Iberostar@@Coolist
At the 7 minute area in this video, you are standing at the wall where the Staff have a massive Snake capture dilemma, where the security guy had it pinned against the wall with a broom. I ran down with one of the cleaning ladies large clear boxes, which they managed to coax the snake into. They then moved the creature to a safe area away from the property before releasing it.
WOW: I was NOT expecting that for a room from Planet Hollywood in Cancun. I was truly impressed! Definitely one of my favorite rooms I've seen on the channel to date! 😇
I'll be honest: I was skeptical about Planet Hollywood much the same way as I am about Hard Rock and just readily assumed, as a brand, it had the same core drawbacks in that 1) it's too clinical and lacks soul, 2) it's too "mom" and "dad" interpretations of a good time, and 3) it's too "copy" and "paste" between resorts in their portfolio. But if this review is any indicator.............I do feel Planet Hollywood speaks to me more than Hard Rock. I DO feel it IS still kind of clinical and there likely IS a bit of copypasta between this and their other resorts I imagine..............BUT the crowd and energy at least at this Cancun location DOES feel more natural and contagious. Whereas with pretty much ANY Hard Rock review I've seen thus far, their crowds at least to me seem perfunctory/contrived.
Can't wait to see which location of theirs you hit up next. I'm going to go off on a wild limb and predict it's their Goa location. I know the safe bet is on Costa Rica, but I like to live dangerously, hahahahaha! 😂😊
I forget how many HR's ive been too. At least 3 on the channel and way more personally. I can't recall a location where the vibe legitimately felt like a naturally comfortable place to stay. Too synthetic... This PH was ironically quite the comfortable property to stay and roam.
@@Coolist And I do genuinely like Planet Hollywood in Vegas, and I feel strangely comfortable in there despite the really hip, modern lighting and the buzzy Miracle Mile Shops adjacent to it. I just wouldn't have expected that same sort of feeling to be successfully replicated in a tropical paradise too. I just think that's really cool. 😊
GUYS burger joint I heard it's not the same as the one on Carnival cruise ships. Those on the ships are so damn good.
I think it was just his brand and namesake
Did u have to make reservations for dinner?
When you landed in Cancun how far away from the airport was this resort?
40-60 mins depending on traffic
You can catch a bus just outside reception on main rd for $1 into Cancun ❤
Great video....Food looked really underwhelming..
Looking on booking planet hollywood with family. Are there activities available for children. thanks.....😀
If I wanted to visit Cancun downtown is there a transportation?
Yup - it'll be $80 each way minimum
Went there last year. Going again this year. You hit pretty much everything on the head. Food is just ok. Buffet is good. The Italian place had a better steak than the steakhouse. Sports bar had good chicken wings. We were star class and only saw our butler 2x once at check in once when waiting for airport pick up.
Saying all of those. The value and modern chic brings us back with our 5 year old son. Knowing the things from last years trip we will have a great vacation
This is the adult scene side of the resort correct?
Wow, this has never happened before, seven 15 second ads I had to watch and sit through, just to watch this video.
Had to? Forced to? Compelled to?
Free platform, Free video, option to click away at anytime. Watch or don't - your choice, Neo.
This makes me wish i was young again. I try...at heart...but it's just not the same. 😅 No matter...Riviera Maya still rates high for a vacation spot.
"Getting old isn't for Sissies" - Bette Davis
@Coolist 🤣🤣🤣 Ha...but Bette didn't have a degenerative spine...that sucker will slow you down. Course, she did die of breast cancer and I'm guessing that's no picnic. Morale: Go...just go like you can't cause eventually you won't. Happy Holidays!
i liked the PH in Costa Rica
🏝️
Please tell me you're doing Hyatt Ziva
whats crazy, is the google reviews are 3.6. and Hard Rock is 4.7. But this hotel looks nicer and more night life.
I've stayed at PH 3 times and love it!!!
It's a really fun property - halfway through I wasn't so sure but things pulled through
Also heard that there's lots of humidity in the rooms and were smelly really?
Yes it’s musky. I’m here now
are you in building 22?@@gunsmokezz
Brother. Planet hollywood las vegas $90 a day. Cancun $400 a day. Insane
All inclusive versus non.
Not a worthy comparison as you can easily get to that dollar amount eating and drinking in Vegas.
Seasonal differences also. Plus, the entry room on the general side isn't $400 - not even close. I didn't even pay $250 (room was an upgrade).
Supercars and hypercars? Bro like any new car has puddle lights these days
Where next?
Riu Cancun
whats the smoking situiation like?
Your so lucky dude gets to travel the world alone
🦅
Hell YeeeeeaH
I’m shocked one of your negatives wasn’t the human feces washing up on the beach coming over from isla mujeres lol…trust me they aren’t hard to spot. Besides that lot of positives from this resort
Wish this video had come out 6 months ago before me and 5 friends went to this abomination of an all inclusive. What an abject nightmare PH Cancun was.
Won’t even mention the watered down drinks (10+ drinks to get a buzz? NOPE!) and the fact the pools were all 90+ degrees. Might as well have been sitting in a hot tub lol
Why what happened? How much do 8balls go for ?
200 👎🏻
I keep reading how cold the polls are. @@teerev1131
Hard rock is shit? Or ph
A 3.8 Rating on Google is a no for me. Great video though.
Looks like these all inclusives are a rip off in general. I cant imagine spending #4500 for a week in Mexico of all places. Cheaper to go to Paris France.
Crappy food, crappy and inconsistent service and a 4.5 “special” rating? I’m bloody confused.
The new direction of your channel is ok. Unrealistic for us. We prefer to stay in the states. East coast/West coast. We are not high rollers. Awesome videos though
I prefer the Hard Rock Punta Cana.
I need to get back there post renovation
