HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 окт 2024
- Today I´m giving you a tour and complete walkthrough of the newest luxury resort in Cancun, the Waldorf Astoria.
In addition to showing you around the entire resort, I´ll also be giving you a room tour and my personal thoughts on the hotel after staying here for 5 nights.
This resort is located between Cancun and Puerto Morelos, about 20 minutes from the Cancun International Airport.
If you want a relaxing, luxury Mexico vacation, the Waldorf Astoria Cancun might be the perfect option for you.

This is such a pleasant lighthearted review and easy to digest
Hi Jordan, you have changed your target demographic, hope that is working for you. I miss the vids where you were reaching us regular people with great experiences and local foods ... a simple life. Guess you must be making more money with the super hotels and all those flipping points. It still looks like more fun back when you were into the more middle class experience. Just curious, what drove your change in target audience ? And I can understand points obsession in Vegas. But in Cancun and Riviera Maya?
That really is a nice resort, the only way I would see it is thru your videos and you did a great job showing us around. Hugs for May.
Always love your videos! Such a beautiful place to stay and these videos are so helpful 👍
Great review. I agree, we loved WA Cancun.
Living the dream my man
Great review! Will stay here for 6 nights in April, lets see. Thanks again
I would love to know more about getting free vacations
Please let May know we miss seeing her & you both together. You both have such a good dynamic together that we all enjoyed watching. We’d love to see more videos of the both of you traveling together. Dont let the haters deter you guys, nobody is buying their bs.
Who are the haters? What are they saying? How is this affecting not having both of them on camera in the videos?
I agree 💯!
I like when it's both of them together,but I think it was Instagram that she said she was taking a step back because it makes her uncomfortable to be on camera in the videos
I rented from Thrifty through a UK agency and was served by Hertz (Avasa) at Cancun. Other than a long queue no issues whatsoever. I politely declined the additional insurance and he politely moved on. Returning the car equally fine.
I love this video so much. Thank you so much for providing us so many tips! However, I do want to ask in order to upgrade to a suite did you book a Deluxe Ocean Front King Bed Guestroom or you just booked a normal Ocean Front King bed room, because I know that normally, they only provide upgrade to one level.
I just booked the basic room. They upgrade you to a 1-bedroom suite if it's available and if you have diamond status.
Hi Jordan, yes please do an in-depth video on the travel credit cards, thanks
Why is there no tour through the lobby front desk to see how fast is the check in🧐
How far is the hotel from the air port? and what is the best way to get there?
The taxis are going to rip you off. They charged me 80 dollars. Take the bus
Can you do a in-depth video on the diamond status thing ?
I’m shocked with it being so high class / luxury that simple drinks were not included!! Blown away you said they were not free
Dang!! Badass hotel!!
Thanks for the detailed walkthrough. I have a Hilton free night certificate and points for a three-day stay at either this Waldorf Astoria or the Conrad Tulum. It’s been difficult trying to make the right choice so I appreciate the vid.
Was here an executive lounge?
There is not
Most people cannot afford this.
Yeah, specially in a place like Cancún, which charges very steep taxes for everything
Great overview, thanks. Do you happen to know if you stay at the Hilton all inclusive, can you visit here and pay for food and beverages? Thanks
Those are Waldorf Prices. I stayed at the Waldorf-Astoria in Manhattan when Genesis got into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. 5 of us chipped to share a very palatial suite for one night. We each paid about $250, so, $1250 a night. We sat at one of the bars and people watched all the celebrities. Yes, drinks were $20-$25 each. A glass of Coke was about $10. Those places are purposely priced that way to attract celebrities and the rich. That might be why this resort is so far removed as well - for privacy.
Nice hotel and that car rental scam is used in all resort places throught mexico it pisses me off and always a fight with them. But I always win at the end..
I really dont see the opulence of such a high-end hotel. I have been to Cancun about 8 times since 1982. One time was the Ritz-Carlton, that had a much more luxurious feel to it but lacked any warmth of Mexican culture.
Where is may? You don’t show her in your videos anymore (one second maybe on this video). Is she pregnant and you guys don’t want to tell us?
I´ll be putting out a video in a couple of weeks updating everyone about what´s been going on
Not pregnant- didn’t you see her sharing an oversized drink?
@@TangerineTravels weeks 😭
Nice video, but bring May back into the videos, we miss her.
I would be worried about a beautiful hotel like that not being busy. It makes you wonder if they can make it up in a full year without having to lose money or close.
Nobody wants to spend $12,000 in 6 days except maybe celebrities, corporate executive management, or drug lords.
It IS really beautiful though. The Waldorf Astoria at ANY location is for rich people. Look at the one in New York City.
I doubt hardly anyone actually pays cash rates for these places. Just like Jordan says they didn't pay. Credit card points and loyalty nights
Imagine the idea that housekeeping isn’t well trained or coming down to reality level to understand the hospitality industry can’t get shake off the impact that COVID had in this market. And also, they’re maids. They’re housekeeping. YOURE WELCOME
Lol its the middle of February 😂😂😂😂
Amazing place ...great video love it
can the hilton guests next door come to the hotel to use the pool?
No, they can't. They can come eat at the restaurants though (but they'll have to pay for the meals).
For me Mexico is a place I go for an affordable trip...$20 per drink? Expensive food? I appreciate beauty and nice stuff but I prefer renting a condo on a beach with a kitchen....off season....Cooking 2 meals, eating out 1 per day......Very affordable.
If I could give this comment 100 likes I would.
Mexico is no longer your cheap holiday destination. If you come on holidays bring a juicy wallet with you. In today’s economy holidays are a luxury so be prepared to pay luxury prices.
Hey tangerine I have a question I’m a black male is it safe for American or black male to go or live in Mexico and what are safe places for Americans to live in Mexico 🇲🇽?
It´s no problem being a black American in Mexico. As for the 2nd question - most places are safe enough for my danger tolerance levels. I´d avoid the cities along the US border. I´d exercise caution in a few states like Guerrero, Guanajuato, Colima. I´d probably avoid Taumalipas.
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
Too expensive, too much points drama.
Nobody is out there because the chair is $200 A DAY!!! No addons make that worthwhile in this economy!! Cauliflower for $21!!, Nope!
Only the big day beds cost money. All of the other chairs are free
Nice but so expensive😳
Beautiful resort! I was so excited about the Hilton credit card but it's not available to us Canadians. :(
If you have an American Express card you can do a transfer into a Hilton card if you wish. I didn’t bother because I get far more perks on the Amex card
Trudeau took credits cards from Canadian citizens too? I don’t get why you can’t use one here at the hotel…
Im not super familiar with the Canadian card options but I do know that you can get amex cards that acquire membership rewards points. MR points can be converted to Hilton pound at a rate of 2 Hilton points per MR point. And 3 or 4 times a year amex runs a promotion that gets you a 30-50% bonus for transferring to Hilton. So 380,000 Hilton points can be had for as little as 127,000 MR points if you transfer at the right time.
@@dcarts5616 I'm not sure what Trudeau has to do with my credit cards, and am sure you don't know either, but I can use my Amex or Visa platinum cards at any hotel
is this not all inclusive?
Nope, the WA is a standard hotel. The Hilton resort next door is.
Hey Jordan! As somebody who has been traveling to Mexico for years, I want to ask someone who lives there.. do you think staff at the resorts prefer pesos to American $? Are they offended with American $?? Apologies for sounding so ignorant. I just truly don’t know and I don’t want to offend anyone. @tangerine travels
It doesn’t really matter, tip with whatever you have. I think most often are getting tipped in dollars
I should clarify, they either want US dollars or pesos because they can spend those anywhere in the area. If it’s Canadian dollars, Australian Dollars, Euros, or any other currency, they’d prefer pesos
Thank you!! This was really helpful. Our two favorite areas have become Puerto Vallarta and Mazatlan. We will be in Mazatlan in a month! Can’t wait!
No, we don't get offended with American dollars (I worked on the tourism field). We really appreciate it them very much 💖
20 dollars for a cocktail with don julio is actually not even bad value at all. Most hotels in Mexico are 16-20 dollars and they don’t use don julio.
A Don Julio Blanco cocktail would be about 80-150 pesos in most restaurants around the country.
$400 for a drink is outrageous. That’s a total rip-off
Dude, what's with this latina channel,they are copy writing infringement on your material.. not good..
Please report it to RUclips if you see anything like that
@@TangerineTravels word has it , friends of Maddie. I seen she commented
Best place if you Don t like poeples lol food is very good ,it is like mayakoba if you hate poeples this is good for you
Dude, you didnt get this stay "almost free" You will pay for the annual fee on the credit card, pay for the spend requirement needed for the intro bonus miles which is currently $2,000 and already had miles banked to pay for this trip in total. Really disingenuous to say that this trip as almost free.
I disagree. I think I did get the stay for almost free and it´s not disingenuous in the slightest. Here´s why:
1. Because they´re paying me to hold the card. $450 annual fee - $250 resort credit -$250 airline credit = effective annual fee of negative $50. Plus I get a free night reward, airport lounge access, and other benefits like diamond status making the effective annual fee more like NEGATIVE $1000-$5000
2. As for the spend requirement, no big deal, because they were purchases I´d be making anyway.
3. I didn´t already have many points banked. Maybe I had 10,000 out of the required 380,000. I simply got 2 intro bonuses, got some points from staying at hiltons, and put some spend on hilton credit cards. They were all purchases that I was going to make anyway.
And on a side note, as for the spend requirements, they´re easy to meet even if you don´t spend that much in your everyday life. All you have to do is buy some stuff that´s on slickdeals or a store´s clearance sale and resell it on ebay or offerup. Do this with high-priced items and it´s not much work. You´ll even make some money if you´re smart with your purchases.

Everything is Beautiful Marble etc.!!!
Also... everything is so over priced ....
😆🤠😄
Errrrr, have you tried to construct and furnish a high end building lately.??? Yes, you will be paying for luxury!!!
$37.50 for a coconut. Hell no sir.
tear up those credit cards bro
Credit cards can be amazing. If used right they’re Interest-free loans and give you awesome rewards. If you don’t pay the balance in full every month, you should cut them up.
Gringos know more about México traveling then me, 😭🤣
What’s an equivalent name to call Mexicans how they call Americans gringos?
@@dcarts5616 "wetback" 😆🤠😄✌️
Dammit man I Love this channel But I miss Mayra Please come back Mayra We Love You
Comments/complaining about the weather ☁️ is a little too much. 🤦🏻. Are you running out of things to say? Say, "it was windy and it made a funny whistle sound". "Spooky". Gods way of saying, ' don't care about your buildings.
I wasn´t complaining about the weather. I was pointing out a flaw in the construction and its something they could easily fix.
Jordan, buddy you’ve really missed the mark. I’ve followed Tangerine Travels since it’s inception, but seeing somewhere crazy expensive doesn’t appeal to 95% of your followers. I miss the $10 challenges and just the general videos about Mexico. Your channel has made me visit 3 times, but this video really missed the mark and you failed to capture you’re audience. I will still keep following but would really urge you to appeal to us common people.
I understand that everyone has different interests. This video wasn´t meant to have broad appeal. It was made for those who have Hilton points or free night rewards and are trying to figure out their best option for booking their dream vacation. I´ll continue making videos for all budgets
I actually appreciate learning how you get these free nights using points/rewards.
