One thing I would recommend about hotel bracelets. This might not be available to all hotels, but when they are placing that bracelet on your wrist, have them place it on loose. If so, you'll be able to take it off or on, just remember not to lose it and place it back whenever you're coming back to the hotel.
@@nunayobiznass Because I don’t want to shower and sleep with it. Also, if you go outside, that can also be a marker for locals to know you’re a tourist.
@@nunayobiznass although for me, 20% is for the tourist marker. Most of it is just too gross for me to keep on me for the duration of the trip. You sweat on it, you swim with it, dirt/debris get on it… etc. Sometimes the bracelet can be a little fancy and it would be hard to clean it.
Never give anyone other than reseverationist your passport or allow people to know you are traveling solo....Be safe and have fun. Listen to this video. Thank you
That sounds fantastic! Xcaret never disappoints with its mix of natural beauty and cultural experiences, and Isla Mujeres is an absolute gem with its stunning beaches and relaxed vibe. If you want more tips or hidden spots to explore during your trip, check out my Isla Mujeres video. Have an amazing fourth adventure in Cancun.
I just want to say thank you for making this video ! I was a little nervous booking as my parents both said it's dangerous in Mexico but I'm sure everything will be fine.. you video made me feel better about my decision ❤️
Thank you so much for watching my video on Cancun and for leaving such a kind comment. I'm thrilled to hear that my video has helped to ease some of your worries about traveling to Mexico. While there are always risks associated with travel, including in Mexico, Cancun is generally considered a safe destination for tourists. Just like in any other place, taking basic precautions such as being aware of your surroundings, avoiding unlit or unfamiliar areas, and keeping your valuables secure is important. I hope you have a wonderful trip to Cancun and make many unforgettable memories. I appreciate your support, and happy travels!
It’s not as bad as they say! I went a few years ago with a few friends which none spoke Spanish but it was a breeze just get transportation with the airport and don’t leave the strip after hours
As a Mexican I recommend that you come to Cancun and all the towns of Mexico cause there are many beautiful towns You should try to interact with the local people cause all Mexicans we're very friendly. the valuable thing about Cancun isn't amazing beaches is the MAYAN CULTURE so please try to know a little of this culture very important for us if you want know Mexico and not only the resorts.
Why should I, as a tourist try to please you lol? I am there for me, def not to please you. I went to the Dominican Republic and not I hate people in the caribbean
I enjoyed the Mayan museum and felt such a gratitude to be able to experience some of your cultural heritage through these experiences. I felt so much joy to finally see some of the archeological sites, try some foods like my favorite hibiscus tea, and see dancing as well as ceremony. Such an amazing ecosystem and environment and I have so much love and respect for Mexican people and the history for Mayan ancestors and culture. Gracias Edgar I wish I spoke Spanish so I could engage more with locals.
Hey, since you are already here, have a look at this video ruclips.net/video/2atGcP3bSxI/видео.html this will help you even more to stay safe in Cancun thanks for watching
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're glad to hear that our video was informative and helpful for your upcoming visit to Cancun. We hope that you have a wonderful time exploring all that this beautiful country has to offer. Don't hesitate to let us know if you have any questions. Have a great trip!
When my sister and I went to cuba we planned for $20 a day. We didn't realize that was way "too much" according to my family but we felt for the service we received, it was minimal tip. Our fridge had everything and they even gave us a few extra big bottles lol
And? Isn’t it their job to provide a good service? If I want to help someone I will give a donation, not a tip. Tipping is the most non sense thing and I hate when people think they are entitled to a tip… you are just doing your job and you are being payed for it. I don’t care if it is cultural, In my country it is also cultural for men to not compliment women they don’t know, calling them sweet baby and whatever and do it in the Caribbean. If you don’t respect my culture I will also not respect your - and don’t act as if tourists did not support most of those countries economies. I will go to the Caribbean again, but after a terrible experience in the Dominican Republic, I don’t fell any sympathy for people in these countries which are just lazy expecting to be tipped and treating the tourists like sh**
My wife and I traveled to Cancun a long time ago when you could still climb the steps of the pyramid at Chichen Itza and it cost $0.15 to get in. We and our friends haggled with all the cab drivers before we went anywhere, although we rented a car to drive back to Chichen Itza. Why don't you recommend that people haggle with the cab drivers? It was par for the course back then. You establish a price before you get in. Also you are correct about tipping. It got us a lot and didn't cost us a lot.
I've just come back from Cancun, it riu palace peninsula hotel, very friendly staff and well supplied drinks, we done a couple of excursions, but felt a bit out of the way, we normally go to riviera Maya region which is much closer to everything. In an all inclusive hotel we were tipping around 50 pesos if the service was excellent, 20 pesos if it was ok and a couple of times nothing as our table wasn't cleared between dishes and didn't get our drinks refilled and had to ask eventhough it was sometimes just water. We tipped the maid several times throughout the 2 weeks holiday
I’ve been to Cancun many times and never had issues with the water. Most of the all inclusive resorts have water filtration systems. Think of all the ice they use in cocktails at their bars. If everyone was getting sick, they’d have no business.
Thanks for sharing your experience! You make a good point. Many of the all-inclusive resorts in Cancun indeed have advanced water filtration systems to ensure the safety and well-being of their guests. It's always good for travelers to do their research and choose reputable resorts. Still, for those venturing outside of these resorts, it's always a good idea to be cautious. Cheers to many more safe and enjoyable trips to Cancun! 🌴🍹 #SafeTravels
Sounds like a practical start to a trip in Cancún! Starting with essentials from a familiar place like Walmart can indeed help save costs, given that items like suntan lotion can sometimes be pricier at resorts or tourist-centric shops. After setting up for the stay, having a nice dinner out can set a positive tone for the rest of the trip. Thanks for the tip! 🌴🍽
Absolutely! Exiting the Cancun airport can be an overwhelming experience, especially with the numerous transportation and tour offers. The hustle and bustle, combined with the tropical heat, gives you an immediate taste of the city's vibrant energy. It's always a good idea to have your transportation pre-arranged or to be prepared for the lively welcome. Thanks for sharing your experience; it's a great heads-up for first-time visitors! Safe travels! 🌴✈🇲🇽
Just ran into your video. First of all great video. My family and I are debating on our vacation next April. Cancun and Playa Carmen ate on the list. Which is better for adults? I just subscribed to your channel.
Welcome to the channel both are good choices Playa del carmen is a smaller version of a Mexican tourist town with more Europeans both have equally good things to do and see Cancun you have more shopping centers and more of everything since it is about 3x the size of Playa
I'm sorry to hear you're feeling this way after watching the video. My intention is never to discourage anyone from exploring new places but rather to equip travelers with information that can help them make informed decisions and stay safe during their trips. Please remember that everyone's travel experience is unique, and it can vary greatly based on a variety of factors. Also, remember that issues highlighted in the video might only represent part of the Cancun experience. Plenty of tourists visit and have an amazing time enjoying the beautiful beaches, culture, food, and warm hospitality the city offers. Safe travels
Love this video! Saving it! Question about getting to Tulum from Cancun. Do you recommend taking a bus or taxi? Is there Uber in Cancun? What's the cheapest way to get to Tulum from Cancun?
@@TravelDroner do you have to purchase the tickets in advanced? Also do they have a website that shows the schedule throughout the day? I appreciate the quick reply!
there is no Uber in Cancun unfortunately, they were banned because the local transportation took a big hit since they overcharge tourists and Uber was not able to do so. its crazy how laws work but in a way its ok because if it was always cheap, tourists would just swarm the beaches and the locals (or mexicans in general) wouldnt be able to enjoy their own land because of the displacement

@@JustxLiving909 great !!!! 😭 I didn’t want to leave ! I went to coco bongo and taboo both amazing places and the locals were nice 🫶🏾 best experience ever
Hello thanks a lot here in Cancun there is never lot of rain and nothing compared to your country 😁so relax come down here and enjoy your vacation monitor the hurricanes as it is high saison for them at this time of the year
We just got back. Our hotel provided rapid Covid tests for $20. You have to show your negative Covid test results (the hotel testing Co emails you the results) at the airport, to the ticketing agent.
Hello thanks the cheapest way would be by ADO Bus to get to downtown you can buy the tickets inside the airport I can not recommend any transfer company thanks for watching
Thank you for your appreciation of the video! The rules can vary regarding your question about flying a drone below 250g in Cancun. Generally, drones below 250g have fewer restrictions, but it's always best to check Mexico's latest local regulations and drone laws before flying. As for recommending a guide, I'm sorry, but I cannot recommend any specific guides. I suggest looking for reputable local tour operators or travel forums where you might find recommendations from other travelers. Safe travels, and enjoy your trip to Cancun
Hey, love your video. I am planning on going for two weeks next month and i want to bring my drone. It's a micro dji mini 3 pro.. under 250 grams. Wondering if i will have any issues with bringing\ flying my drone while I'm there?
Great video, thank you! What are the names of some banks you'd recommend for exchanging to pesos in Cancun? Any local street food or authentic Mexican restaurants you can recommend? Thank you!
Any local Bank will do they pretty much have all same rate more or less here are some names Banamex, Bancomer or BBVA, Banco Santander, HSBC, Banorte, in downtown AV. Yachilan there is one called La Palapa every Sunday they have Mexican Buffet all you can eat with every Mexican dish you can probably think of it cost around 14 dollars it is one of the oldest in town since the 70's check it out or go right there around the corner at Parque las palapas there are many food stalls of authentic Mexican food I have a video about it have a look at it, if you want to go more adventures there is always the taco stands at Avenida las Torres Thanks for watching
@@Maddy-vj3gb Honestly I never used one at any Airport it is common sense that at airports everything is more expensive since they have to pay such high rents for stores and booths so they are forced to charge more for services and everything sold at Airports
👍 I concur with Travel Droner. That's best time to go. I'll be there myself this coming Jan & renting a jet ski 🎿. Would not do that if the water was cold
hello, nice and very informative video. i would like to go with a buddy of mine to cancun (novembar 2022). what would u recommend for us we are 26-27 years old. we would like to see the City. going partying, sport activities. eating local food (are the prices high in the restaurantas? should we look out?)is it worth to get then a hotel or better a appartement? in what area should we stay? should we get a hotel or a airbnb? what is the better option in your opinion? many thanks :-) and keep up the great videos on RUclips
Hey, I would go with an all-inclusive resort here. You can venture out into downtown for local food, and to the party mile in the hotel zone at night the busses are suitable for moving around between hotel zone and downtown, and as for pricing, there is something for every budget available here from the 10 pesos tacos to the 20 dollar tacos you decide where to eat them
Coming from a country where you don't usually tip unless you are going to a nice restaurant or want to be really, really polite, how much would you say is a *low tip, normal tip and high tip* for hotel staff in Cancun or just Mexico in general? Also how often is one supposed to tip hotel staff (for example: for the hotel maid)? The last thing I would ever want to do is to offend people in a foreign country, so I do not want to be "cheap" or rude, but I am also kind of spending all of my savings to go across the globe, so *I would just like to know beforehand what to expect* . For food I understand it is 10% and it is universal, but when you technically don't have to pay for the service you can't do math with 0 or at least I can't because I have no experience in this. That's why I'm asking and I hope someone will answer :D
@@TravelDroner When my husband and I stay at any hotel we tip the maid everyday and leave notes if we need anything extra. By doing this we’ve always had excellent service throughout our stay.
Be prepared for the airport it's a nightmare and they really need to do something I was there both times for about 4 hours I will not be going back because of this
@@toyinmade7210 uhm since i haven’t went yet i guess cold since it’s the winter but idk but when i get back ill definitely update you even if it’s gonna be really expensive to order a month before-
Hello, it's important to note that taxis at the airport can sometimes have higher prices compared to other transportation options. Using a shuttle bus or arranging a pickup with the hotel shuttle are great alternatives to consider, as they can often provide more affordable transportation options. Additionally, it's worth mentioning that ride-hailing services like Uber may not be available for pickups directly at the airport due to local regulations or restrictions. This is important for travelers to remember when considering their transportation options. Thank you for you comment
Hey I am coming tomorrow! I am so excited but a little scared since we are staying Downtown, is it so dangerous? Do you have any tips? We chose Downtown because Hotel Row sounds like you will miss out on the whole culture… Kind regards
Nothing to be scared of downtown is as safe as in the Hotel zone no difference use common sense everywhere you go simple as that and yes you can go see different local things in downtown you will not find in the tourist zone go visit Parque las palapas, for example, many local eateries to reasonable prices with delicious food are awaiting you enjoy your stay and have fun
Okay so I’m staying at Suites Malecón, I’m going next month. It’s on the road of the hotel zone but it’s not in the hotel zone. What do you recommend my husband and I to use for travel at night… for instance, if we’re out at a bar or club and need to get back to the hotel at night? Thank you in advance. 💙
Hello! It sounds like you're planning an exciting trip to Cancun. Safety is of utmost importance for getting around at night, especially after a night out. The bus system in Cancun is quite reliable, operates 24/7, and is indeed one of the cheapest methods of transport. However, do note that there might be more comfortable or quickest options, especially late at night. Alternatively, Uber is operational in Cancun, and many tourists find it to be a convenient option. It's typically safe, but there have been occasional disputes between Uber drivers and local taxi services, so be aware. In any case, always make sure to verify the identity of your driver and the vehicle before getting in. It's also a good idea to share your live location with someone you trust. I hope this helps and you have a fantastic time in Cancun. Enjoy your trip! 💙
Hello! Great video. I have a few questions: Is it good to travel during Nov ? I will be going there around Thanksgiving. Should i convert my usd to pesos/ tips in usd or pesos?? . Do you know if the all inclusive hotels do things for u around or on your birthday? Thanks in advance!
Hello! Thank you for your kind words. Here are some answers to your queries: Traveling in November: November is a good time to visit Cancun. The weather is pleasant, and it's just before the peak holiday season, so you find fewer crowds. Currency and Tips: While many places in Cancun accept USD, it's often better to use pesos as you might get a more favorable exchange rate. As for tips, either currency is accepted, though locals might appreciate pesos slightly more. Make sure to carry smaller denominations for convenience. Birthday Celebrations in All-Inclusive Hotels: Many all-inclusive hotels in Cancun offer special arrangements or little gestures for birthdays. It's best to inform them in advance about your special day. Some might offer room upgrades, complimentary cakes, or even special dinners. I hope this helps! Enjoy your trip, and have a fantastic birthday celebration! 😊🌴
@@chasemartinez6231 I think drop-off should be fine. They cannot pick you up tho from the airport and de los collegios is a little isolated and limited transportation options.
Hello try Puerto Cancun complex many apartment's for rent also via Airbnb or around from Supermanzana 3 to 16 you should be good and safe to walk around
Is flying a sub 250gram drone as a tourist a problem at the resorts/ along the beach. I couldn’t find a clear yes or no within the laws for that small of a drone but would love local input.
You shouldn't have any issue flying it just don't fly it over resort property or you get in trouble with the security guys of the hotel thanks for watching
@@TravelDroner Have Mexico government changed the rule for a sub 250g drone? I read online that no tourist is allow to fly a drone in Mexico, it has to be register, but registration is only for Mexican people.
@@samlouis7824 yes, that is correct with the registration of the drone, on the other hand, I doubt that the law is enforced here just fly responsibly with common sense.
Can you please give me some tip prices? With an all inclusive resort, are we to tip our airport driver? I understand tipping at the restaurant by percentage, but what is a normal good tip to give maid and waiters in the resort?
The airport driver, if he helps you with your luggage and is friendly, why not tip him sure, for the maid, I would leave her a bigger tip in the room on my last day for the whole time she cleaned and took care of your room waiters at resorts 1-2 dollars is up to you how you feel with the service you get I would keep a lot of small dollar bills for daily use with service providers you interact at your resort.
Dear Travel Droner, is it safe using ADO from Cancun DT to Chiquila (For Holbox travel)? If so, does one have to reserve the tickets ahead of time or can they be bought the day of? Also, what shuttle services that can be booked online would you recommend?
Hello, you can reserve your tickets online here www.ado.com.mx/ I would check local news first before going as they are some disputes and blocking of roads going on right now there.
Thanks for all the info!! I love your voice u sound like a radio DJ. We’re traveling to Cancun in May. When I booked our trip, I received notice that our hotel & the city of Cancun is no longer taking the American dollar, so we will need to have pesos. Is that correct, should we have pesos & not dollars? Also, in the video you say we shouldn’t take a cab. What is the best way to travel around town? I know some have said there is a bus that goes from the resort to like Senor Frogs, but is the bus safe & how late does the bus run? Would we be able to return back to the resort on the bus late at night? Thank you in advance!
Hello I doubt that about the dollar,it is still accepted everywhere here in Cancun just you would get a bad exchange rate if you buy something with it instead of paying with pesos, the bus is your best option it goes everywhere from the hotel zone to downtown and they run every 20-30 minutes till midnight or later I am not sure about that I have not used one in a few decades thanks for watching
@@demejj870 Uber is a hit or miss here still a lot of issues with taxi drivers hunting them down and making a mess including with passengers I advise you to stay away from Uber it is not safe and not too many around because of that issue and you do not want to be surrounded by angry taxi drivers banging on your Uber and blocking your way or maybe beating up the driver or you so think twice about that option.
Hey man great videos always look Forward too the next Vids! Quick 2 question 😅 Do you think the Covid will have the border shut down by mid February? Making my first trip too cancun! Second boss would be is if the seaweeds still an issue over there ? Thanks 🤟🏼😅
Hello I doubt that Mexico will shut down Borders they never have during the pandemic here is biz as usual Main income source is tourism they are proud to announce here that they had 500 flights at Cancun airport yesterday so forget that no worries Mexico will be open no matter what, with the seaweed it is worst in the summer months during winter is not that much but that is something they have no control over it but there are places here which are never affected by the seaweed due to their strategic location so you will find a good beach to swim hit me up when you here I guide you thanks for watching
The hotel I will be staying at no longer has bottled water in the mini fridge. The hotel says they have filter water stations around the resort. Many hotels are now going away from single use plastics.
Great video! I’m planning to go in December for my birthday, is that a good time to go? Also it’s going to be a big group i’m wondering if it would be better to get an airbnb rather than a hotel, it might be cheaper?
@@TravelDroner Would you recommend getting a taxi from the hotel or renting a car if we want to go to chichen itza or to the amusement park? We are coming with 2 kids, so there are 4 of us. Purchasing tours will be expensive for a group of 4. PLus, we have a little baby and we want to be flexible and be able to leave when we need to.
@@psychologyofhappiness Definitely rent a car that will be a lot cheaper and flexible for all of you you can buy tours for parks in packages or combos at xcaret.com and all other tours are online cheaper than your hotel would sell them to you, and lastly don't forget to enjoy and have fun

Seaweed in Cancun can arrive throughout the year as a result of the movement of currents in the Sargasso Sea, but its presence is greater in the warmer months between March, April, May, and June. This is due to the formation of sargassum and the constant movement of the same increased by changes in the sea caused by global warming and pollution of the oceans, causing the macroalgae to arrive in large quantities.
I am traveling this December with my family. Do they have Uber there to get to downtown Cancun or go to Cenotes? Is it best to book tours instead of going on our own if we don’t have a car?
Hello, you are better off buying a tour with transportation included is your best choice and don't use Uber in Cancun, or you might find yourself in an uncomfortable situation if you are confronted by taxi drivers who don't like Uber at all and harras them and their passengers, so you better stay away from both.
Hey, Cancun has many great restaurants I would suggest you go downtown, away from the tourist crowds, and go to BOVINOS, one of the best meals you will ever have if you want to stick to the tourist places, the Hotel zone is full of restaurants for every taste from cheap tacos to expensive high-class food stay away from the strip clubs is my advice or you might run into trouble being charged horrendous prices as a tourist or worse for bars your best bet is the party mile in the Hotel zone there is the party all night, and I'm sure you will find some senorita with a margarita you can swing a lap with her back in your room :)
Hey, thanks for your question I would have a lot of small-dollar bills for the bartenders and other staff and the resort and would leave a bigger tip to the cleaning lady of my room at the end of the vacation and leave it in the room.
Hey, I have lived over 20+ years in Mexico. That is some really bad advice from your hotel staff to keep you in-house spending your money; I would encourage you to go Downtown and visit Parque las Palapas to have a taste of real, local food and some authentic Mexican atmosphere .I have some more videos about that topic on my channel. Have a look around for the best things to do in Cancun; also, you can take the bus to venture downtown, have fun, and enjoy.
I would tip for sure at a restaurant, so yes, but at a local shop, if you buy something, then NO, don't tip they are already making a profit on what they are selling
Uber is partially available but not at its total capacity they are still in court for a resolution to be legal here in the state 2 days ago, taxi drivers blocked all streets in Cancun, protesting against Uber and the possibility of becoming a legal transportation option in the state. Regarding renting a car, that depends on where and how well you are versed in driving in Mexico or speaking the language if you get a rental from the airport and they have rental license plates on it get ready to be hassled around for everything that will ruin your vacation for sure thanks for watching
@@rebekahlennon2602 rental cars in Cancun have different license plates than local cars, which makes them easily identifiable by police or anyone else that this is a rental and most likely tourists are driving it. The implication is that it may be more likely to get stopped as a rental car and try to extort money from tourists. This is a common scam in tourist areas, and it is advisable to be cautious when driving a rental car in any foreign country.
@@TravelDroner Right ok thank you for the reply. So it's pretty common to be hassled by police. We are in a position where we kind of have to rent a car. Can you give me any advice around that, is there an agency we can go to with no plates or if we are stopped what can we do to avoid difficulty..

As a solo I will be traveling very carefully at Cancun. Shuttle booked and i dont hangabout in the area after arrivals.
One thing I would recommend about hotel bracelets. This might not be available to all hotels, but when they are placing that bracelet on your wrist, have them place it on loose. If so, you'll be able to take it off or on, just remember not to lose it and place it back whenever you're coming back to the hotel.
Yes that is an option in some resorts thanks for watching
Why would you want to take it off?
@@nunayobiznass Because I don’t want to shower and sleep with it. Also, if you go outside, that can also be a marker for locals to know you’re a tourist.
@@bpo4736 I thought the tourist thing was the reason just checking
@@nunayobiznass although for me, 20% is for the tourist marker. Most of it is just too gross for me to keep on me for the duration of the trip. You sweat on it, you swim with it, dirt/debris get on it… etc. Sometimes the bracelet can be a little fancy and it would be hard to clean it.
Never give anyone other than reseverationist your passport or allow people to know you are traveling solo....Be safe and have fun. Listen to this video. Thank you
Exactly thanks for watching
Thanks! Heading back there for my fourth time soon. Def doing Xcaret again and Isla Mujeres this time.
That sounds fantastic! Xcaret never disappoints with its mix of natural beauty and cultural experiences, and Isla Mujeres is an absolute gem with its stunning beaches and relaxed vibe. If you want more tips or hidden spots to explore during your trip, check out my Isla Mujeres video. Have an amazing fourth adventure in Cancun.
lebron watching this
Thank you Cheers! 😀
Ima lakers fan and that was funny 🤣
It’s crazy how millions of people think about Lebron daily
Lebron not my cuppa tea
Context ?
I just want to say thank you for making this video ! I was a little nervous booking as my parents both said it's dangerous in Mexico but I'm sure everything will be fine.. you video made me feel better about my decision ❤️
Thank you so much for watching my video on Cancun and for leaving such a kind comment. I'm thrilled to hear that my video has helped to ease some of your worries about traveling to Mexico.
While there are always risks associated with travel, including in Mexico, Cancun is generally considered a safe destination for tourists. Just like in any other place, taking basic precautions such as being aware of your surroundings, avoiding unlit or unfamiliar areas, and keeping your valuables secure is important.
I hope you have a wonderful trip to Cancun and make many unforgettable memories. I appreciate your support, and happy travels!
It’s not as bad as they say! I went a few years ago with a few friends which none spoke Spanish but it was a breeze just get transportation with the airport and don’t leave the strip after hours
As a Mexican I recommend that you come to Cancun and all the towns of Mexico cause there are many beautiful towns
You should try to interact with the local people cause all Mexicans we're very friendly.
the valuable thing about Cancun isn't amazing beaches is the MAYAN CULTURE so please try to know a little of this culture very important for us if you want know Mexico and not only the resorts.
Why should I, as a tourist try to please you lol? I am there for me, def not to please you. I went to the Dominican Republic and not I hate people in the caribbean
@@Hahah5746 you sound like fun at parties
Edgar how is the violence there ?
The cartel scares me
I enjoyed the Mayan museum and felt such a gratitude to be able to experience some of your cultural heritage through these experiences. I felt so much joy to finally see some of the archeological sites, try some foods like my favorite hibiscus tea, and see dancing as well as ceremony. Such an amazing ecosystem and environment and I have so much love and respect for Mexican people and the history for Mayan ancestors and culture. Gracias Edgar I wish I spoke Spanish so I could engage more with locals.
Thank you my friend for all the tips! I will be using them all in a few weeks when we visit Cancun!😊
Have fun in Cancun
Great advice . Been traveling to Mexico and Cancun for over 30 years !
Glad you find it useful thanks for watching and keep exploring
Love your videos. You're absolutely right, I buy 2 sunscreens for 13 bucks at Walmart. I ran out once and they cost 25 USD there. Great advice.
Thanks for watching stay safe
We can’t take more than 100 ml items on the plane, right?
I wonder if the solution would be taking like 3 or 4 of them.
This is so helpful! In Cancun right now for the 1st time and now am creating an itinerary. Thanks!
Hey, since you are already here, have a look at this video ruclips.net/video/2atGcP3bSxI/видео.html this will help you even more to stay safe in Cancun thanks for watching
Great informative video I will be visiting in a few months and this really came in handy.
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're glad to hear that our video was informative and helpful for your upcoming visit to Cancun. We hope that you have a wonderful time exploring all that this beautiful country has to offer. Don't hesitate to let us know if you have any questions. Have a great trip!
When my sister and I went to cuba we planned for $20 a day. We didn't realize that was way "too much" according to my family but we felt for the service we received, it was minimal tip. Our fridge had everything and they even gave us a few extra big bottles lol
👍
Where did you stay?
You mean 20$ for hotels with meals?
$20/day just in tips? That's crazy
And? Isn’t it their job to provide a good service? If I want to help someone I will give a donation, not a tip. Tipping is the most non sense thing and I hate when people think they are entitled to a tip… you are just doing your job and you are being payed for it. I don’t care if it is cultural, In my country it is also cultural for men to not compliment women they don’t know, calling them sweet baby and whatever and do it in the Caribbean. If you don’t respect my culture I will also not respect your - and don’t act as if tourists did not support most of those countries economies.
I will go to the Caribbean again, but after a terrible experience in the Dominican Republic, I don’t fell any sympathy for people in these countries which are just lazy expecting to be tipped and treating the tourists like sh**
My wife and I traveled to Cancun a long time ago when you could still climb the steps of the pyramid at Chichen Itza and it cost $0.15 to get in. We and our friends haggled with all the cab drivers before we went anywhere, although we rented a car to drive back to Chichen Itza. Why don't you recommend that people haggle with the cab drivers? It was par for the course back then. You establish a price before you get in. Also you are correct about tipping. It got us a lot and didn't cost us a lot.
Those times are over you won't recognize it if you come back today again
I've just come back from Cancun, it riu palace peninsula hotel, very friendly staff and well supplied drinks, we done a couple of excursions, but felt a bit out of the way, we normally go to riviera Maya region which is much closer to everything. In an all inclusive hotel we were tipping around 50 pesos if the service was excellent, 20 pesos if it was ok and a couple of times nothing as our table wasn't cleared between dishes and didn't get our drinks refilled and had to ask eventhough it was sometimes just water. We tipped the maid several times throughout the 2 weeks holiday
That's the way to go I hope you had a great stay and fun thanks for watching
excellent!! we go in 6 weeks and cant wait !!!!
Enjoy Cancun here is an updated version of the video ruclips.net/video/l9z-CtQK8SI/видео.html
Great video very well put together and you have a very professional voice
Thank you very much I am glad you enjoyed the video
Great tips and advice 👏👏.
Thanks for watching. Safe travels
I’ve been to Cancun many times and never had issues with the water. Most of the all inclusive resorts have water filtration systems. Think of all the ice they use in cocktails at their bars. If everyone was getting sick, they’d have no business.
Thanks for sharing your experience! You make a good point. Many of the all-inclusive resorts in Cancun indeed have advanced water filtration systems to ensure the safety and well-being of their guests. It's always good for travelers to do their research and choose reputable resorts. Still, for those venturing outside of these resorts, it's always a good idea to be cautious. Cheers to many more safe and enjoyable trips to Cancun! 🌴🍹 #SafeTravels
@@marcuspd7502 good to hear
Day 1... go downtown to the walmart and buy water, suntan lotion etc. Breakfast, lunch or snack foods. Go eat dinner someplace nice.
How much are those items in Walmart so you remember
@@anthonyforde2772 better than you get elsewhere. But inflation recently has changed everything so i dont know anymore.
Sounds like a practical start to a trip in Cancún! Starting with essentials from a familiar place like Walmart can indeed help save costs, given that items like suntan lotion can sometimes be pricier at resorts or tourist-centric shops. After setting up for the stay, having a nice dinner out can set a positive tone for the rest of the trip. Thanks for the tip! 🌴🍽
Exiting that airport do be crazy though. The noise really does hit you as soon as those sliding doors open.
Absolutely! Exiting the Cancun airport can be an overwhelming experience, especially with the numerous transportation and tour offers. The hustle and bustle, combined with the tropical heat, gives you an immediate taste of the city's vibrant energy. It's always a good idea to have your transportation pre-arranged or to be prepared for the lively welcome. Thanks for sharing your experience; it's a great heads-up for first-time visitors! Safe travels! 🌴✈🇲🇽
Istanbul Airport is more crazy and I have already seen Mexico City.
Really well Edited videos and information 💯 subscribed
Thanks and welcome to bn the channel stay safe
Just ran into your video. First of all great video. My family and I are debating on our vacation next April. Cancun and Playa Carmen ate on the list. Which is better for adults? I just subscribed to your channel.
Welcome to the channel both are good choices Playa del carmen is a smaller version of a Mexican tourist town with more Europeans both have equally good things to do and see Cancun you have more shopping centers and more of everything since it is about 3x the size of Playa
After this video I don't even want to go anymore. Thanks
I'm sorry to hear you're feeling this way after watching the video. My intention is never to discourage anyone from exploring new places but rather to equip travelers with information that can help them make informed decisions and stay safe during their trips.
Please remember that everyone's travel experience is unique, and it can vary greatly based on a variety of factors. Also, remember that issues highlighted in the video might only represent part of the Cancun experience. Plenty of tourists visit and have an amazing time enjoying the beautiful beaches, culture, food, and warm hospitality the city offers. Safe travels
@@TravelDroner I appreciate that. Just seemed like too much of a hassle and scam lol.
@@lblockerwr These are everywhere where tourist dollars go; that is just part of the economy :)
Love this video! Saving it! Question about getting to Tulum from Cancun. Do you recommend taking a bus or taxi? Is there Uber in Cancun? What's the cheapest way to get to Tulum from Cancun?
The cheapest and best way is with ADO Buses they run frequently are comfortable and cheap around 10 dollars to get to Tulum
@@TravelDroner do you have to purchase the tickets in advanced? Also do they have a website that shows the schedule throughout the day? I appreciate the quick reply!
@@jeannelle_ You can purchase your tickets on the spot here is the website www.ado.com.mx/ stay safe
there is no Uber in Cancun unfortunately, they were banned because the local transportation took a big hit since they overcharge tourists and Uber was not able to do so. its crazy how laws work but in a way its ok because if it was always cheap, tourists would just swarm the beaches and the locals (or mexicans in general) wouldnt be able to enjoy their own land because of the displacement

Thank you I will keep it in mind hopefully it is over soon
We just got back. Our hotel provided rapid Covid tests for $20. You have to show your negative Covid test results (the hotel testing Co emails you the results) at the airport, to the ticketing agent.
This was really helpful thank you! What website can we book the shuttle from the airport to our stay? (We're not at a hotel but an airbnb). Thanks!
Hello thanks the cheapest way would be by ADO Bus to get to downtown you can buy the tickets inside the airport I can not recommend any transfer company thanks for watching
@@TravelDroner thank you🙂
Great video. Very informative. Thx.
Thank you very much stay safe
How do u bring sun screen when you aren't allowed to bring why kinda creams/lotions
You are permitted to bring that item, but not as carry-on luggage. It can be stored without any issues in your checked baggage.
I bought sunscreen for decent price in downtown area. Much better than Hotel Zone
Amazing information Can you pls advice if Travellers can fly drone below 250G. Also can you advice for a guide!
Thank you for your appreciation of the video! The rules can vary regarding your question about flying a drone below 250g in Cancun. Generally, drones below 250g have fewer restrictions, but it's always best to check Mexico's latest local regulations and drone laws before flying. As for recommending a guide, I'm sorry, but I cannot recommend any specific guides. I suggest looking for reputable local tour operators or travel forums where you might find recommendations from other travelers. Safe travels, and enjoy your trip to Cancun
great video

Great video, thank you! What are the names of some banks you'd recommend for exchanging to pesos in Cancun? Any local street food or authentic Mexican restaurants you can recommend? Thank you!
Any local Bank will do they pretty much have all same rate more or less here are some names Banamex, Bancomer or BBVA, Banco Santander, HSBC, Banorte, in downtown AV. Yachilan there is one called La Palapa every Sunday they have Mexican Buffet all you can eat with every Mexican dish you can probably think of it cost around 14 dollars it is one of the oldest in town since the 70's check it out or go right there around the corner at Parque las palapas there are many food stalls of authentic Mexican food I have a video about it have a look at it, if you want to go more adventures there is always the taco stands at Avenida las Torres Thanks for watching
@@TravelDroner Does the airport have reliable ATMS?
@@Maddy-vj3gb Honestly I never used one at any Airport it is common sense that at airports everything is more expensive since they have to pay such high rents for stores and booths so they are forced to charge more for services and everything sold at Airports
@@Maddy-vj3gb never use airports for currency!
@@KSA4EVA I ended up using the ATM at the hotel and it all worked out! Luckily, they were able to exchange large increments for smaller bills.

Going on the 3rd
Hello Droner,
Can you please suggest what kind of weather it is in mid january ?
Is is hot, cold or moderate ?
Cancun is never cold mid January you can go swimming during the day without a problem
👍 I concur with Travel Droner. That's best time to go. I'll be there myself this coming Jan & renting a jet ski 🎿. Would not do that if the water was cold
hello, nice and very informative video.
i would like to go with a buddy of mine to cancun (novembar 2022). what would u recommend for us we are 26-27 years old.
we would like to see the City. going partying, sport activities. eating local food (are the prices high in the restaurantas? should we look out?)is it worth to get then a hotel or better a appartement?
in what area should we stay? should we get a hotel or a airbnb? what is the better option in your opinion?
many thanks :-) and keep up the great videos on RUclips
Hey, I would go with an all-inclusive resort here. You can venture out into downtown for local food, and to the party mile in the hotel zone at night the busses are suitable for moving around between hotel zone and downtown, and as for pricing, there is something for every budget available here from the 10 pesos tacos to the 20 dollar tacos you decide where to eat them
Very nice video my new friend, thanks for sharing, sending my support from French riviera ! 🇫🇷 🏖🍷
Greetings from Cancun thanks for watching
Very informative, but how's the weather in October?
Facts im planning on going in October getting my passport soon first time on a plane I'm nervous
Hello, the weather is still a little humid but not as hot as in the summer months of November, and forward it cools down a little
@@TravelDroner is it raining?
@@rosariogz7114 No unless we have a hurricane or storm
Advice for taking public buses to get around? Vs taxi or Uber? Thanks!
Hello buses are the best option here cheap and no hassle to get anywhere in town or Hotel zone stay safe
Buses (red ones) are 1 dollar.
Coming from a country where you don't usually tip unless you are going to a nice restaurant or want to be really, really polite, how much would you say is a *low tip, normal tip and high tip* for hotel staff in Cancun or just Mexico in general? Also how often is one supposed to tip hotel staff (for example: for the hotel maid)?
The last thing I would ever want to do is to offend people in a foreign country, so I do not want to be "cheap" or rude, but I am also kind of spending all of my savings to go across the globe, so *I would just like to know beforehand what to expect* .
For food I understand it is 10% and it is universal, but when you technically don't have to pay for the service you can't do math with 0 or at least I can't because I have no experience in this. That's why I'm asking and I hope someone will answer :D
Hello, the lowest is 10% Highest I would say 25% for your maid just leave her a good tip at the end of your stay in your room thanks for watching
@@TravelDroner oh, ok! Thanks for all the insight! :)
@@IceCrystalWolf 😎👍
@@TravelDroner When my husband and I stay at any hotel we tip the maid everyday and leave notes if we need anything extra. By doing this we’ve always had excellent service throughout our stay.
Thank you so much I am going hear in 2 days I can’t wait!
Have fun
@@TravelDroner thanks!
How was it I hope u enjoyed it
Be prepared for the airport it's a nightmare and they really need to do something I was there both times for about 4 hours I will not be going back because of this
What happened?

@@toyinmade7210 uhm since i haven’t went yet i guess cold since it’s the winter but idk but when i get back ill definitely update you even if it’s gonna be really expensive to order a month before-
@@toyinmade7210 should be fine no storms in January
So where can I find the afforable taxis when I arrive at the airport?
Hello, it's important to note that taxis at the airport can sometimes have higher prices compared to other transportation options. Using a shuttle bus or arranging a pickup with the hotel shuttle are great alternatives to consider, as they can often provide more affordable transportation options.
Additionally, it's worth mentioning that ride-hailing services like Uber may not be available for pickups directly at the airport due to local regulations or restrictions. This is important for travelers to remember when considering their transportation options.
Thank you for you comment
Hey I am coming tomorrow! I am so excited but a little scared since we are staying Downtown, is it so dangerous?
Do you have any tips?
We chose Downtown because Hotel Row sounds like you will miss out on the whole culture…
Kind regards
Nothing to be scared of downtown is as safe as in the Hotel zone no difference use common sense everywhere you go simple as that and yes you can go see different local things in downtown you will not find in the tourist zone go visit Parque las palapas, for example, many local eateries to reasonable prices with delicious food are awaiting you enjoy your stay and have fun
Great video and thanks for the tips. I.I'm definitely renting a car can you tell me the name of the rental car company you recommend?
Hello, thanks for your comment all links are in In the description have fun in Cancun
Okay so I’m staying at Suites Malecón, I’m going next month. It’s on the road of the hotel zone but it’s not in the hotel zone. What do you recommend my husband and I to use for travel at night… for instance, if we’re out at a bar or club and need to get back to the hotel at night? Thank you in advance. 💙
Hello! It sounds like you're planning an exciting trip to Cancun. Safety is of utmost importance for getting around at night, especially after a night out. The bus system in Cancun is quite reliable, operates 24/7, and is indeed one of the cheapest methods of transport. However, do note that there might be more comfortable or quickest options, especially late at night.
Alternatively, Uber is operational in Cancun, and many tourists find it to be a convenient option. It's typically safe, but there have been occasional disputes between Uber drivers and local taxi services, so be aware.
In any case, always make sure to verify the identity of your driver and the vehicle before getting in. It's also a good idea to share your live location with someone you trust.
I hope this helps and you have a fantastic time in Cancun. Enjoy your trip! 💙
@@TravelDroner thank you so much! 💙

Hello! Great video. I have a few questions: Is it good to travel during Nov ? I will be going there around Thanksgiving. Should i convert my usd to pesos/ tips in usd or pesos?? . Do you know if the all inclusive hotels do things for u around or on your birthday? Thanks in advance!
Hello! Thank you for your kind words. Here are some answers to your queries:
Traveling in November: November is a good time to visit Cancun. The weather is pleasant, and it's just before the peak holiday season, so you find fewer crowds.
Currency and Tips: While many places in Cancun accept USD, it's often better to use pesos as you might get a more favorable exchange rate. As for tips, either currency is accepted, though locals might appreciate pesos slightly more. Make sure to carry smaller denominations for convenience.
Birthday Celebrations in All-Inclusive Hotels: Many all-inclusive hotels in Cancun offer special arrangements or little gestures for birthdays. It's best to inform them in advance about your special day. Some might offer room upgrades, complimentary cakes, or even special dinners.
I hope this helps! Enjoy your trip, and have a fantastic birthday celebration! 😊🌴

What transport service should i take if we're staying at an air bnb?
Hello, that depends on where you want to go, but the Buses are a good choice, or an Uber if you don't have to go to the airport or Hotel Zone.
Air bnb is by de los colegios
And is it smart to take a Uber back to the airport?

Is flying a sub 250gram drone as a tourist a problem at the resorts/ along the beach. I couldn’t find a clear yes or no within the laws for that small of a drone but would love local input.
You shouldn't have any issue flying it just don't fly it over resort property or you get in trouble with the security guys of the hotel thanks for watching
@@TravelDroner Have Mexico government changed the rule for a sub 250g drone? I read online that no tourist is allow to fly a drone in Mexico, it has to be register, but registration is only for Mexican people.
@@samlouis7824 yes, that is correct with the registration of the drone, on the other hand, I doubt that the law is enforced here just fly responsibly with common sense.
Can you please give me some tip prices? With an all inclusive resort, are we to tip our airport driver? I understand tipping at the restaurant by percentage, but what is a normal good tip to give maid and waiters in the resort?
The airport driver, if he helps you with your luggage and is friendly, why not tip him sure, for the maid, I would leave her a bigger tip in the room on my last day for the whole time she cleaned and took care of your room waiters at resorts 1-2 dollars is up to you how you feel with the service you get I would keep a lot of small dollar bills for daily use with service providers you interact at your resort.
Nice Mehrwert bro
Dear Travel Droner, is it safe using ADO from Cancun DT to Chiquila (For Holbox travel)? If so, does one have to reserve the tickets ahead of time or can they be bought the day of? Also, what shuttle services that can be booked online would you recommend?
Hello, you can reserve your tickets online here www.ado.com.mx/ I would check local news first before going as they are some disputes and blocking of roads going on right now there.
@@TravelDroner Mid March is what I was planning, hopefully some things are resolved by then. Thanks for the tip!
Yeah hopefully so you can enjoy your time here
Thanks for all the info!! I love your voice u sound like a radio DJ. We’re traveling to Cancun in May. When I booked our trip, I received notice that our hotel & the city of Cancun is no longer taking the American dollar, so we will need to have pesos. Is that correct, should we have pesos & not dollars? Also, in the video you say we shouldn’t take a cab. What is the best way to travel around town? I know some have said there is a bus that goes from the resort to like Senor Frogs, but is the bus safe & how late does the bus run? Would we be able to return back to the resort on the bus late at night? Thank you in advance!
Hello I doubt that about the dollar,it is still accepted everywhere here in Cancun just you would get a bad exchange rate if you buy something with it instead of paying with pesos, the bus is your best option it goes everywhere from the hotel zone to downtown and they run every 20-30 minutes till midnight or later I am not sure about that I have not used one in a few decades thanks for watching
Thank u! I don’t want to sound silly, but do they offer Uber or Lyft in Cancun?
@@demejj870 Uber is a hit or miss here still a lot of issues with taxi drivers hunting them down and making a mess including with passengers I advise you to stay away from Uber it is not safe and not too many around because of that issue and you do not want to be surrounded by angry taxi drivers banging on your Uber and blocking your way or maybe beating up the driver or you so think twice about that option.
@@TravelDroner Wow! Thank u.
Hey man great videos always look Forward too the next Vids! Quick 2 question 😅 Do you think the Covid will have the border shut down by mid February? Making my first trip too cancun! Second boss would be is if the seaweeds still an issue over there ? Thanks 🤟🏼😅
Hello I doubt that Mexico will shut down Borders they never have during the pandemic here is biz as usual Main income source is tourism they are proud to announce here that they had 500 flights at Cancun airport yesterday so forget that no worries Mexico will be open no matter what, with the seaweed it is worst in the summer months during winter is not that much but that is something they have no control over it but there are places here which are never affected by the seaweed due to their strategic location so you will find a good beach to swim hit me up when you here I guide you thanks for watching
@@TravelDroner where is the best to stay with no seaweed in the spring? Just subscribed, great videos!
@@pamelabous Hello welcome to the channel Isla Mujeres or cozumel both are islands they have beaches free of seaweed thanks for watching
So want to visit Cancun someday
Have fun when you do
I recommend staying at the moon palace. I enjoyed it
Thanks for your comment
Gracias Tony. Buenos avisos👌
Gracias
If taxis are not recommended then what should we take from the airport to airbnb location? Thanks
Hello, you could have your host arrange it for you or take the ADO bus from the airport. Have a safe stay
The hotel I will be staying at no longer has bottled water in the mini fridge. The hotel says they have filter water stations around the resort. Many hotels are now going away from single use plastics.
Yes in fact they have forbidden here plastic shopping bags already waterbottles are next thank you for watching
Great video! I’m planning to go in December for my birthday, is that a good time to go? Also it’s going to be a big group i’m wondering if it would be better to get an airbnb rather than a hotel, it might be cheaper?
Hey yes it is winter tho a little colder at night then usual the all inclusive hotel experience is good for a group
Hi I am going to Cancun on the 25th of February!!
Let me know if you need any advice thanks for watching
@@TravelDroner well I do want to know what you recommend for getting around. I will stay at the hotel zone, but what if I want to go to the center?
@@lauradoornbos Take the Bus is your safest bet also depending on the hours you want to venture into downtown if it's late at night or during the day.
God bless you
Hey, if you went over there I want some suggestions.
Great information. Thank you.
Thanks for watching stay safe
@@TravelDroner Would you recommend getting a taxi from the hotel or renting a car if we want to go to chichen itza or to the amusement park? We are coming with 2 kids, so there are 4 of us. Purchasing tours will be expensive for a group of 4. PLus, we have a little baby and we want to be flexible and be able to leave when we need to.
@@psychologyofhappiness Definitely rent a car that will be a lot cheaper and flexible for all of you you can buy tours for parks in packages or combos at xcaret.com and all other tours are online cheaper than your hotel would sell them to you, and lastly don't forget to enjoy and have fun
@@TravelDroner What would be the best place or company to rent a car from?
@@psychologyofhappiness Hello here is a local one many ex-pats use here iMoveCancun/ 998 390 0991 or Yes Car Rental Cancun (998) 3105712, (998) 2796915
18 dollars for a taxi to 711 an they didnt have anything but Mexican items I played with pesos that was like 180 pesos
Hello, do all hotels in Cancun have transportation and if not whats the best way to get around there?
Hello, yes, most Hotels do offer transportation from the airport some free and some for a small fee call yours and find out thanks for watching
I Keep hearing about the seaweed problem. Please does anyone have an update on the water I’m going in May 2022
Seaweed in Cancun can arrive throughout the year as a result of the movement of currents in the Sargasso Sea, but its presence is greater in the warmer months between March, April, May, and June. This is due to the formation of sargassum and the constant movement of the same increased by changes in the sea caused by global warming and pollution of the oceans, causing the macroalgae to arrive in large quantities.
I am traveling this December with my family. Do they have Uber there to get to downtown Cancun or go to Cenotes? Is it best to book tours instead of going on our own if we don’t have a car?
Hello, you are better off buying a tour with transportation included is your best choice and don't use Uber in Cancun, or you might find yourself in an uncomfortable situation if you are confronted by taxi drivers who don't like Uber at all and harras them and their passengers, so you better stay away from both.
What a beautiful day, it looks lovely!! Awesome walk 👍❤❤ Greeting from IRAN 🇮🇷
Thanks for watching greetings from Cancun
Great tips! Thank you
😎👍
Going next month. Any restaurants you recommend? Also, any good bars ? Or strip clubs
Hey, Cancun has many great restaurants I would suggest you go downtown, away from the tourist crowds, and go to BOVINOS, one of the best meals you will ever have if you want to stick to the tourist places, the Hotel zone is full of restaurants for every taste from cheap tacos to expensive high-class food stay away from the strip clubs is my advice or you might run into trouble being charged horrendous prices as a tourist or worse for bars your best bet is the party mile in the Hotel zone there is the party all night, and I'm sure you will find some senorita with a margarita you can swing a lap with her back in your room :)
I'm coming out October first time on a plane I'm really nervous
Hello, take some tranquilizers all will be fine and you will have a great time here
@@TravelDroner thanks for responding
@@damienknox0714 👍
@Stephen Ferree flying
Can you tip in US currency or Peso?
Hello, yes, both are possible.
Good explanation, thanks.
Thank you for watching
Wao very nice video bro love it ♥️♥️♥️
Txs bro
Hi, How much should we tip when we’re at an all inclusive hotel and not spending any money?
Cheers
Hey, thanks for your question I would have a lot of small-dollar bills for the bartenders and other staff and the resort and would leave a bigger tip to the cleaning lady of my room at the end of the vacation and leave it in the room.
Thanks, are we allowed to bring e cigs into the country? Reading they’re banned! Just tobacco I’m talking about lol
@@NowWeComeAlive Yes you can bring them
Thank you . Great channel btw
@@NowWeComeAlive Thank you glad you like it
Ive been told not to go to the city and just stay in the resort because its dangerous and i have a small child with me. Any truth to that?
Hey, I have lived over 20+ years in Mexico. That is some really bad advice from your hotel staff to keep you in-house spending your money; I would encourage you to go Downtown and visit Parque las Palapas to have a taste of real, local food and some authentic Mexican atmosphere .I have some more videos about that topic on my channel. Have a look around for the best things to do in Cancun; also, you can take the bus to venture downtown, have fun, and enjoy.
@@TravelDroner thank you!
@@FreshTopEnd You are welcome Enjoy Cancun
Do we need to tip when we eat at a restaurant or a local shop? Thanks
I would tip for sure at a restaurant, so yes, but at a local shop, if you buy something, then NO, don't tip they are already making a profit on what they are selling
Very helpful!
I'm glad to hear that! If you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask. Safe travels, and enjoy your time in Cancun! 🌴🌊
What a the average amount a tip should be to ensure you continue to get good service and should the tip be in pesos?
10-15% regular if excellent service go 20-30% up to you and where at what venue you are tipping thanks for watching
If you are staying at all inclusive then what should you tip each time ?
Thank you for this
😎👍
What about ice in your drinks?
You should be fine
Thank you for this ❤
Anytime enjoy Cancun
Would you recommend renting a car? Is Uber available? I usually like to use a service like that instead of taxis.
Uber is partially available but not at its total capacity they are still in court for a resolution to be legal here in the state 2 days ago, taxi drivers blocked all streets in Cancun, protesting against Uber and the possibility of becoming a legal transportation option in the state. Regarding renting a car, that depends on where and how well you are versed in driving in Mexico or speaking the language if you get a rental from the airport and they have rental license plates on it get ready to be hassled around for everything that will ruin your vacation for sure thanks for watching
@@TravelDroner What do you mean by if you have rental plates you will get hassled...
@@rebekahlennon2602 rental cars in Cancun have different license plates than local cars, which makes them easily identifiable by police or anyone else that this is a rental and most likely tourists are driving it. The implication is that it may be more likely to get stopped as a rental car and try to extort money from tourists. This is a common scam in tourist areas, and it is advisable to be cautious when driving a rental car in any foreign country.
@@TravelDroner Right ok thank you for the reply. So it's pretty common to be hassled by police. We are in a position where we kind of have to rent a car. Can you give me any advice around that, is there an agency we can go to with no plates or if we are stopped what can we do to avoid difficulty..
