How was your overall experience [1-10] in Holbox? And what about the whole Riviera Maya coast? Seen some videos on RUclips from people claiming it's a horrible experience due to being controlled by cartels and local scammers always after making $ off you with lies. They've also mentioned to avoid taxis. In all honesty, aestethically, nothing close to Bali in my opinion.
@crypticcomputing604 Never been to Bali (definitely want to go), but been to Riviera Maya several times. I think the food is incredible but several places have jacked their prices up like everywhere else. Plus the dollar isn't as strong. As for cartels, i was told by locals as long as you don't sell drugs, compete with them or buy them you'll be fine. Never has a problem. There are a lot of vendors but you can always bargain with them if you like something. I've been to Holbox 3 times and always find new places to drink and eat, again excellent food, unique sea color, wildlife and overall probably the chillest Island. Isla Mujeres is probably still my favorite place, but same a lot of places over priced, golf carts are now ridiculous, but it's a special place to me. If you never been I'd say definitely visit. The water color is beautiful, and there is a lot going on depending on what you like. And again the food is probably some of the best in the world in my opinion. Although I really don't like Tulum, there the taxis and restaurants will really rip you off down there unless you stay downtown. To rate it 1-10 it's tough, I've been to some amazing places in the world but always love going back. But probably won't be back for a while, want to explore new places. Hope this helps a bit!
What’s the shoes you have, seem perfect for beach and swimming? Nice video
@aliv8624 These are Vivobarefoot Ultra Blooom 3's. Yes great for water and land and honestly my favorite type of shoes. Highly recommend!
