We just booked our first all inclusive Mexico trip for our family of 4 next year in March and so glad and grateful I ran across your video! Thank you for such an in depth tour!!
I truly enjoyed this video! It made me feel as I was walking through the resort! Very informative,well described and easy to understand! A great video to watch! 🏆🏅🥇
Oh wow I really appreciate you saying that😊. I wish we were going back in 2 weeks Im jealous 🤭🤭🤭. You will hVe a good time, please let us know what your trip was like.
@@HangingwithVinceandTina The benefits of staying in RIU PALACE are that you can go and use facilities at Dunamar too, unfortunately it doesn’t work the other way
Hi, what time of year was this filmed ? We have booked to arrive early December from the UK and was wondering what the weather/sea will be like. Great informative video
This video was made this past October. I have never been there in December but i hear that is peak season. Please let me know how your trip goes, I would be interested in knowing how it is in December myself thank you.😊
It’s actually in Costa Mujeres, but it’s a quick boat ride over to Isla Mujeres… thank you for the kind words and if you would please subscribe, it helps the algorithm get the video to others who are interested ☺️
You guys will not be disappointed. Ocean view rooms are so worth it. We met some really nice couples from Canada. Please comment on your thoughts about it afterwards. If you don’t mind subscribing that would really help our channel to grow. Thank you😎
Hi there. We’re flying there from chicago on November 27th. Do you mind share the information how much it cost you? We’re going to be there for 7 days, six nights. Thank you.
@@USAcitizen1015 Noproblem, I always book a package including airfare, hotel, and transportation to and from airport. Also oceanview room is an upgrade. For 6 days and 5 nighits around $2300.00
They require your room key to be inserted in a slot in the room for all power to work, including Air conditioning! So when you’re out of your room for the day you have to come back to a hot room. They refuse to give an extra key to keep the AC on.
We book our vacations with Cheap Caribbean and they partner with Amstar for transportation to and from the airport. Amstar also provides a large selection of excursions.
Great informative video 👍 can I ask if you got any transport to cancun centre/hotel zone for shopping ? and how accessible/safe it was ? Looking at booking this hotel just don’t know if it’s too far out to get into the city and would be better off booking one in the hotel zone 😊 thanks again for such a great video !
You will not be able to take public transportation to the hotel zone but you can take a taxi because of distance. That is one of the small drawbacks. I found everything safe but we avoided doing much after dark off of the resort but many people we met there did a lot after dark without any issues.
We only left the Resort to eat twice, once on our excursion to Isla Mujeres at the little restaurant right were the boat docks and Taboo. Taboo was extremely good but the price was really expensive. The little authentic Mexican restaurant on the island had the best fish. My wife says the at the resort her favorite was the buffet out of all the restaurants mainly because of all the variety.
They had a foam party on Thursday, no beach parties the week I was there. They have a club that stays open from 10 till 2 am and then everyone goes to the 24 hour bar.
I was here in November of 2021 and loved it. So pretty. Staff so friendly, nice, helpful, etc I would agree with the long hallways and elevator though.....very few elevators, or that we could find anyway. We were on the 4th floor, so did a lot of the steps. I hightly recommend this place to anyone.
That was my only issue, the elevators. That was my 2nd time there and it’s true those are the only elevators and they are located up near the lobby. We were also on the 4th floor😝😝😝. But We did really enjoy this hotel and would absolutely recommend it. Thanks for watching and if you don’t mind subscribe please… we are trying to grow😇
@@erikasanchez6588 they have many free activities for the water as well as an area were different entertainment companies set up to present their many excursion packages. Lastly you have others that are free to roam the beach selling their excursion packages. I have bought from both and have never been burned but you have to be cautious about the legitimacy of those selling on the beach ( but it is cheaper… lol)
Great video. I'm looking for some place for Christmas. Would you recommend coming here? Also, how long was the trip from the airport? I think you said you visited Isla Muejeres, is the dock to take the boat over nearby? Thanks again.
I absolutely would recommend going there although I have never been there in December we went in October. The trip is roughly 45 minutes from the airport. Yes, the dock to go to Isla Mujeres is near by and we’ll worth the excursion.
@@localone1597 EXCELLENT u won’t regret it, We are going to Cancun for my bday at the end of this month but we will be staying at the NOW EMERALD resort only because that’s where I proposed, I will do another video on it next month.
@@izzysilva411 No, we book our trip through CheapCaribbean and they have an option to prepay for transportation to the resort and back to airport with a company named Amstar.
The food was good, but not great. If you have ever been to an all inclusive the food has never been great at all the different Caribbean resorts I've been too. With that said everything was fresh, especially the breakfast food, which is what i enjoy the most. We typically eat off the resort at least once or twice when we travel.
@@fletchg1634 yes, they usually have plenty but you can always tip the pool attendant and they will put a towel down on the loungers and saved them for you.
Yes, they charge for massages on the resort, however we got our massages with the locals that are set up on the beach just outside of the resorts property at an extremely discounted price and they will let you negotiate for an even lower price. The massages are just as good if not better ☺️
Yes 4106 its also in the beginning of the video before the room tour ...😆😆😆, oh my god we enjoyed it so much. We have been back to Cancun since we did this video and stayed at the NOW EMERALD and we enjoyed it as well but I must say all we keep doing was comparing it to Riu Dunamar. We are absolutely going back.
We just booked our first all inclusive Mexico trip for our family of 4 next year in March and so glad and grateful I ran across your video! Thank you for such an in depth tour!!
You are very welcome and thank you for watching. Will your family be staying at the Riu Dunamar?

@@HangingwithVinceandTina The benefits of staying in RIU PALACE are that you can go and use facilities at Dunamar too, unfortunately it doesn’t work the other way
 yes you are correct and my understanding is that it is an adult only resort is that true?

@@HangingwithVinceandTina the 2300 it was per person or for both of you guys??

Good question, I never recalled it being uncomfortable at all, but I do remember us keeping 1 key in the slot and taking 1 key with us a few times.
Great video just wanted to know how did you travel from Airport you already pre book the cab or any cab company recommendations
We book our vacations with Cheap Caribbean and they partner with Amstar for transportation to and from the airport. Amstar also provides a large selection of excursions.

did they have any partys set up? like pool foam partys or beach partys? and how about any nightlife? thanks

how do you get from airport to the hotel ?
@@birdsnature6421 we always book through CheapCaribbean and they partner with Amstar which has worked out flawlessly on all of our trips😊
How far would u say the walk is from hotel to the ocean? I’m traveling with someone handicap
From the lobby to the ocean is about the length of a football field
@@HangingwithVinceandTina hi again lol sorry to bother but do you know if the hotel offers any excursions?

Curious what the seaweed situation was like, from what I see, there was none. Did you go in Nov 22?
I went in October, and they do a very good job with cleaning the seaweed off the beach fist thing every morning with tractors☺️
@@HangingwithVinceandTina Thank you so much, great to know.

Is transportation from airport to hotel included in the all inclusive package for this resort?
@@izzysilva411 No, we book our trip through CheapCaribbean and they have an option to prepay for transportation to the resort and back to airport with a company named Amstar.
Did he have beach volleyball on the resort?Thanks for the good rewiew!
ABSOLUTELY!!! Beach and Pool volleyball right by each other😎
Yes☺️☺️
Your review was helpful! How was the food? I read a lot of mix reviews
The food was good, but not great. If you have ever been to an all inclusive the food has never been great at all the different Caribbean resorts I've been too. With that said everything was fresh, especially the breakfast food, which is what i enjoy the most. We typically eat off the resort at least once or twice when we travel.
Thank you for responding. Enjoy your next vaction!
I noticed that there were a lot of available loungers by the pools. Do you know if it's usually like that? We're planning on going in May.
@@fletchg1634 yes, they usually have plenty but you can always tip the pool attendant and they will put a towel down on the loungers and saved them for you.
how's their waterpark for kids? Do you think it'd be good for kids between 3 to 6 years old?
Absolutely, they have slides and things for kids that age and larger slides for older kids and adults☺️
@@HangingwithVinceandTinado u have to pay extra ?
@@andersonrodriguez8258 No it’s included
I was there in November of 2021...I agree, the elevators are sparse
Yup, otherwise what did u think?
