We will be booking Iberostar selection based solely on your review James. This will be the third time we are following your advise, so thanks a lot for doing all this work!
Love these ranking videos. I watch all the review videos but by the end of them all they can kind of blur, so having a fast recap and an overall ranking is super helpful for making decisions.
Been to moon palace about 5 times. Funny thing is I came here to find ideas on other hotels. My family loves moon palace, and we stay at the basic one, not the grand. Either way great for families.
Long time ago we stayed at iberostar Tucan and Quetzal in Playa del Carmen, also had an amazing time. I perfectly understand that iberostar is at number 1 👌
My first thought was 'where the heck is Moon Palace?" :) Saw your note at the end, look forward to the review and potential similar options. My family loved the Grand.
Hi James, love your videos, they are so helpfull. So, we are going to Cancun next year, and we are going to stay at RIU Palace Costa Mujeres, any thoughts, or advices regarding that resort? Thank you.
thank you for the list. first time ever going on vacation south last year. We went family vacation to Royalton Punta Cana last year because of your video.We are going to iberostar Cancun this May because of you Sir. Keep of the good work. Love from Canada
Hey solid review thanks for this! Been to paradisus 4 times and moon palace last sb. Iberostar been on the list and now I have good reason for booking, thanks
Thank you so much. I watched your videos to plan our Punta Cana trip and you were spot on. We just booked a trip to Cancun based on your recommendation. Can’t wait 💜💜
Just curious why you don’t like Costa Mujeres beaches? I’m a travel agent and ALWAYS recommend CM areas for clients wanting a great beach. It tends to be calmer and much less sargassum than most of the Riviera Maya.
Been to the Caribbean a lot during the winter times. I agree with you. The Iberostar coral and the grands stands out. I encourage you to try the Iberostar grand. I’ve been to the Riu palaces and the Royalton hideaways. They just don’t compare to Iberostar coral or grand. I’m doing this all inclusive vacation for more than 12 years. And now I have a good grasp of good brands out there. An HONEST opinion for someone who tried it all….
These are some amazing recommendations, can you please tell me what is the situation of sargassum on these resorts? I am planning a trip in June 2nd week with fam. Any particular direction facing beach on which the resorts would not have the sea weed issue?
im suprised you ranked the iberostar at #1... but I dont have an issue with it as we have been there 5 times at coral side and love it.. Good to know we made a good choice.
I'll be staying at The Iberostar Selection Bavaro Suites next week, and if it's anything like one in Cancun, I cannot wait to be wowed. As always, I enjoy your reviews and insider tips.
I've stayed at Hard Rock the past 3 times I traveled to Cancun 2016, 2022 & 2023. This past April was the complete opposite of my first experience there and can't say I'd recommend it anymore. :/ I'll definitely look into Iberostar Selection next time I decide to go to Mexico. Love the reviews as always! Just got back from my second visit to Margaritaville in Punta Cana - Just as good as your review on it last year!
Great video and I see you have loyal followers. It would be great when you have the time to answer some of the questions because they are some great questions there.
I was looking at ziva but I liked the Zilara better because it was an adult’s resort and the pools & location looked more appealing to me. Also there were a lot of positive reviews about the food and excellent service. I’ll soon find out as we’ll be there soon 😀
Hi James! Love your reviews! You have a no BS approach to reviews and never sound like you're working for the resort or a travel company. Have you ever thought about doing a podcast? Also, headed to Majestic in July. Will be AI trip number 10 for me! Loved the Lopesan. Done Royalton Bavaro twice.
We stayed at Planet Hollywood in Jan 2023. We had a good time but there are big issues. The beach is dirty and crazy windy (which obviously they can't control). The rooms have a LOT of issues. Stuff broken, not working, etc. The resort is SO big that the rooms don't often get cleaned until the end of the day. The good? Food was solid. Service was great. Grounds were amazing. It is a BIG resort. The pools were pretty cold when I was there.
We had our honeymoon at Platinum Yucatan Princess and we really enjoyed it. Nightlife was amazing. It's closer to Playa Del Carmen though. It came highly recommended from many friends and family!
Love the channel bro, your the go to guy whenever I want to make up my mind of where to go. currently debating going back to Secrets the vine vs Aqua live. Which you like best?
Hello! Thank you for creating content about all-inclusive hotels in Cancun and other destinations. It’s really helpful for those of us planning our vacations. I’ve subscribed to your channel for more tips and recommendations. We’re planning a trip to Cancun in June, our first time traveling from Miami to Mexico. My wife, six-year-old daughter, and I are looking for the best place to stay. Do you have any recommendations for family-friendly all-inclusive hotels? Thanks in advance for your help and great content! 🙏🏻
Great video- but … I actually stayed at TRS Coral and they had a huge spa (that I used) and a gym. I’m not sure if these were closed during your stay but they do exist. I stayed 2 years ago.
He did talk about that in the full video, it has, but kind of, because the spa and the gym is actually in the nearby property Grand Palladium, so you need to walk there to do several things
Nice list and great video!! I'm super excited to see you one day do a LeBlanc Cancun and Secrets the Vine Cancun review/travel vid!! Keep up the awesome work!
Looking to book in Punta Cana in a day or two. You seemed to love Lopesan. Is it a pita to get a dinner reservation? I can’t think in advance on what food or time I want to eat. Is it recommended to get the unique booking?
Looking forward to your next Dominican visit. .i think you’ll love the service and food at cap Cana but guess it’ll be marked down for nightlife and vibe as it’s a couples resort
Excellent video James! Great job! Do you have any plans to visit one of the following? Just curious to plan my next trip and love your tips! 🤓 Hyatt zilara Hyatt Ziva Le blanc Xcaret arte Garza Blanca Atelier Playa Mujeres I've been to Moon Palace, Hard Rock Cancun and Punta Cana in my life,and indeed Moon Palace was the best option by far! Also the best price 😅 I hope you enjoy it there too! Cheers
Hi James - many thanks for the informative reviews - never been to the Caribbean so I am totally dependant on my own reasearch & independant reviews from the likes of yourself - fast forward many mths found destination now to choose the resort/hotel!!!my husband who requires attrative/ not crowded/great food you know the norm but he takes it a step further& wants that worldwide poilshed 5* luxury in every part of the hotel - no sales/no bullshit/no screaming kids/great food/decent educated people etc he's a bit of a pain but he pays as a treat & wants it to be perfect if there is should a thing (disclaimer - 2 kids of our own + 4 grandchildren) so he will only log into your videos because he says you are a PRO honest with no bullshit - continue with good work James "Where next"
I literally plan my beach vacations based on your reviews. I’m taking my husband on a last min bday trip. We stayed at Live Aqua last time and it was perfect for us (brought our 5 adult kids) I am leaning that way again but… kinda want to try some place new too.. food and beach is important to us. What’s your vote? Similar vibe to Live Aqua
Great list. We're looking at Margaritaville Island/Riviera Maya ...being older we don't need a huge nightlife anymore just laid back peaceful...kinda like JB. 😊 Are we wrong?
Thank god. An actual review video that isn’t made with AI and stock footage.
We will be booking Iberostar selection based solely on your review James. This will be the third time we are following your advise, so thanks a lot for doing all this work!
Hands down...nothing touches the Excellence collection by finest.
Love these ranking videos. I watch all the review videos but by the end of them all they can kind of blur, so having a fast recap and an overall ranking is super helpful for making decisions.
Been to moon palace about 5 times. Funny thing is I came here to find ideas on other hotels. My family loves moon palace, and we stay at the basic one, not the grand. Either way great for families.
Thank you. I love the Iberostar Paraiso complex and haven't been to the Selection Cancun location yet. Going in Sep and may have to check it out
Thank you for your reviews . We are planning to going to Cancun for New year Eve this year where you recommend
Thank you
Long time ago we stayed at iberostar Tucan and Quetzal in Playa del Carmen, also had an amazing time. I perfectly understand that iberostar is at number 1 👌
Always love your reviews. They are packed with great information and your tastes mirror mine. I would surely choose your number one pick anywhere!
Omg ive been to iberostar cancun last year and its absolutely amazing. ❤
Been getting daily updates from 4ra on match highlights, loving it! 📱🏏
My first thought was 'where the heck is Moon Palace?" :) Saw your note at the end, look forward to the review and potential similar options. My family loved the Grand.
Hi James, love your videos, they are so helpfull. So, we are going to Cancun next year, and we are going to stay at RIU Palace Costa Mujeres, any thoughts, or advices regarding that resort? Thank you.
Had an amazing winning streak on 4ra last week, can’t wait to play again! 🏆🎉
That beach at the Iberostar is stunning and picture perfect. Wow.
Thank you so much for sharing as I have a trip scheduled for next year, and I wasn't sure where I would stay.😊❤
You should check out Excellence Playa Mujeres. My personal favorite, would like to hear your opinion if you make a future trip.
thank you for the list. first time ever going on vacation south last year. We went family vacation to Royalton Punta Cana last year because of your video.We are going to iberostar Cancun this May because of you Sir. Keep of the good work. Love from Canada
My brother stayed at Iberostar Riviera Maya and loved it
Hey solid review thanks for this! Been to paradisus 4 times and moon palace last sb. Iberostar been on the list and now I have good reason for booking, thanks
Lifting our winter blues with your tropics videos! Thanks!
Love how 4ra adapts to any device, betting on my tablet is just as easy as on my laptop 💻📱
Wowza! I did not see that coming! Thanks for another honest ranking 🌴🌴
Kinda shocked you didn't go to Hyatt Ziva Cancun (Hotel Zone) based on it's popularity
Same. Wish he would have
Absolutely the best one!
I really enjoyed Ziva. Food was decent/ok though. Everything else was great!
@@picanhapapi when I went the food was really good except the pizza. But yeah everything else great. Best beaches for sure
What the best club
Telling all my friends about 4ra, they need to experience this awesomeness 🗣️👥
Every time I decide on a vacation spot for myself and hubby I refer to your videos!! Thank you sir 😊Awesome content!! 👍🏽👍🏽
I've referred to his videos so much I keep second guessing my resort choices and then I switch them because he doesn't approve. lol
Every week there's something new on 4ra, never gets boring! 🆕
Great Video!!!
Great information, thank you sir!
Which one of these have Latino evening parties please? Any information greatly appreciated. Thank you
Bhai 4rabet ke features bohot amazing hai, har baar kuch naya dekhne ko milta hai
Havent even watched this yet but BROOOO i almost booked at Riu Mar Caribe.. this video will determine where i go in May.
Well done video sir! Not too long and I appreciate the insight! Thank you
Thank you so much. I watched your videos to plan our Punta Cana trip and you were spot on.
We just booked a trip to Cancun based on your recommendation.
Can’t wait 💜💜
What did you choose? I am still trying to choose for my family trip , leaning towards Iberostar Selections.
Great video! In my opinion two fantastic resorts were missing. Atelier and Excellence Playa Mujeres
We LOVE the Excellence Playa Mujeres!
I remember that I called it James, I called it!! After your fourth Cancun video I said “Iberostar got it!!” 💪🏾💪🏾
Just curious why you don’t like Costa Mujeres beaches? I’m a travel agent and ALWAYS recommend CM areas for clients wanting a great beach. It tends to be calmer and much less sargassum than most of the Riviera Maya.
I keep coming back to 4ra for the crisp and clear graphics, feels like a video game 🎮👾
Great video, when are getting back to Vegas and do the Fontaine blue?
Summer most likely - I need that pool action ☀️
Excellent video James! Instead of a cruise we may try to give Iberostar a shot!
Been to the Caribbean a lot during the winter times. I agree with you. The Iberostar coral and the grands stands out. I encourage you to try the Iberostar grand. I’ve been to the Riu palaces and the Royalton hideaways. They just don’t compare to Iberostar coral or grand. I’m doing this all inclusive vacation for more than 12 years.

James, you rock. Keep it up.
4ra's loyalty program is just too good, racking up points like a pro 🏅💎
Loving your channel! Stoked to watch this vid.
Visited Royalton Chic Cancun over Christmas. Absolutely wonderful. Thank you for your ranking. Will try No.2 next time
im suprised you ranked the iberostar at #1... but I dont have an issue with it as we have been there 5 times at coral side and love it.. Good to know we made a good choice.
This is great because we r booked for Iberostar Selection! Phew! First time to Cancun
I'll be staying at The Iberostar Selection Bavaro Suites next week, and if it's anything like one in Cancun, I cannot wait to be wowed. As always, I enjoy your reviews and insider tips.
How is it?
Those daily challenges on 4ra keep things spicy, love the extra thrill! 🌶️🎯
I've stayed at Hard Rock the past 3 times I traveled to Cancun 2016, 2022 & 2023. This past April was the complete opposite of my first experience there and can't say I'd recommend it anymore. :/ I'll definitely look into Iberostar Selection next time I decide to go to Mexico.

Great video and I see you have loyal followers. It would be great when you have the time to answer some of the questions because they are some great questions there.
Can you please review the Hyatt Zilara Cancun?
Are the riu parties at Riu Cancun or did you need to shuttle to Caribe? Thanks!
4RA's search function is so precise, finding games is like finding treasure 💎🔍
Thank you so much, the reviews are very helpful! Keep up the good work!
Thank you for these hotel reviews! I always look forward to watching new content. I’d love to see you review Riu Palace Kukulkan in Cancun.
Great review! Have you stayed at Hyatt Zilara?
Or Ziva? I stayed at Zilara and Ziva and Ziva not being on the list kind of makes it invalid for me. That place was amazing
I was looking at ziva but I liked the Zilara better because it was an adult’s resort and the pools & location looked more appealing to me. Also there were a lot of positive reviews about the food and excellent service. I’ll soon find out as we’ll be there soon 😀
We stayed at the adult only side of iberostar and it was AMAZING
Joined 4ra’s VIP club, the perks are just unbeatable! 💎👑
Which hotels would you recommend for a solo trip for someone that it has 20 years
Hi James! Love your reviews! You have a no BS approach to reviews and never sound like you're working for the resort or a travel company. Have you ever thought about doing a podcast? Also, headed to Majestic in July. Will be AI trip number 10 for me! Loved the Lopesan. Done Royalton Bavaro twice.
Iam debating to choose between royalton chic cancun or breathless soul or riviera which one would you choose and why ?
We stayed at Planet Hollywood in Jan 2023. We had a good time but there are big issues. The beach is dirty and crazy windy (which obviously they can't control). The rooms have a LOT of issues. Stuff broken, not working, etc. The resort is SO big that the rooms don't often get cleaned until the end of the day.
The good? Food was solid. Service was great. Grounds were amazing. It is a BIG resort. The pools were pretty cold when I was there.
wowzers! thanks for this video! I live in Britain and I am naive when it comes to Mexico. These hotels look awesome esp Iberostar, PH and HR hotels!
Love a ranking video with 9 hotels/all inclusives done in one video.
Yooooo!!! Thanks a ton dude! I'm just planning to go this year, and this was very helpful!
We had our honeymoon at Platinum Yucatan Princess and we really enjoyed it. Nightlife was amazing. It's closer to Playa Del Carmen though. It came highly recommended from many friends and family!
Love the channel bro, your the go to guy whenever I want to make up my mind of where to go. currently debating going back to Secrets the vine vs Aqua live. Which you like best?
Awesome countdown! Your videos are so informative. The top 3 on this list all look amazing! Live Aqua and Iberostar both look phenomenal!
Bhai Aaron Finch ke saath 4ra events aur bhi bright aur better ho gaye, real fun hai
Excellent reviews man!! Looking forward to more!
You're going to have to do this again because of AVA cancun haha. About to go there for a site visit!

Do you have a review video for Royalton Chic?
Breathless soul should be on this list
Great video- but … I actually stayed at TRS Coral and they had a huge spa (that I used) and a gym. I’m not sure if these were closed during your stay but they do exist. I stayed 2 years ago.
Yes, amazing spa and chic cabaret but he dont talk about that

Stayed when it first open best place I ever been to
🤩 wow
Looking forward to your next Dominican visit. .i think you’ll love the service and food at cap Cana but guess it’ll be marked down for nightlife and vibe as it’s a couples resort

So Good bro!!! TY

Hyatt zilara
Hyatt Ziva
Le blanc
Xcaret arte
Garza Blanca
Atelier Playa Mujeres
I've been to Moon Palace, Hard Rock Cancun and Punta Cana in my life,and indeed Moon Palace was the best option by far! Also the best price 😅
I hope you enjoy it there too!
Cheers
Hi,
May i ask you what website to buy all included tickets .
Thanks
I have alwayswanted to go to Xcaret hoetl but I don't know if it's worth the price, is it good? I really want to know

Wonderful video!! Lots of helpful information! Thank you!
Stayed at paradises years ago. And nothing has changed , rooms ok and food was decent , the fancy reserved restaurant was enjoyable
Awesome review! Subscribed !
4rabet pe Finch ke saath events dekhna alag hi maza hai, pura trust build ho gaya hai
Where are you filming? That place looks fascinating!
I literally plan my beach vacations based on your reviews. I’m taking my husband on a last min bday trip. We stayed at Live Aqua last time and it was perfect for us (brought our 5 adult kids) I am leaning that way again but… kinda want to try some place new too.. food and beach is important to us. What’s your vote? Similar vibe to Live Aqua
4RA ka customer support bhi bohot helpful hai, kabhi bhi help mil jati hai
what do you use to ge the Riu for $150/night? anytime i try to find it at a cheap price its priced as a luxury hotel...
I hope Hyatt Ziva Cancun will be in your next one
Great list. We're looking at Margaritaville Island/Riviera Maya ...being older we don't need a huge nightlife anymore just laid back peaceful...kinda like JB. 😊 Are we wrong?
Yaar 4ra ka interface bohot easy aur user-friendly hai, maza aata hai use karne me
4rabet ka interface bohot user-friendly hai, easily sab kuch access hota hai
