► WHO AM I?
I am a Brazilian-American journalist living in Florida. After traveling the world working with sports, news, and events for over 15 years, I realized that what I really love is the travel part of it all. So I exchanged life in the newsrooms and stadiums for the daily challenge of being an independent content producer. I created this channel to share the beauties of the world... stuff that for so long I only kept to myself. Also to help people planning similar trips and to inspire more people to venture out and enjoy life!
P.S.: The funny guy who appears in the vlogs is my husband, Gordon. He is Canadian-American and he's actually camera-shy, that's why he's behind the camera most of the time 😉

Gordon never spoke so much!!!! 😁😀 Let's see if from now on he's not as shy anymore 😉. Here's a link to the site I mentioned of how we book our hotels to get some benefits: renatapereira.tv/cancun-all-inclusive - And here's the entire Mexico series if you wanna watch from the beginning: czcams.com/video/el6PmzJe4Kg/video.html - Thanks for traveling to Mexico with us ❤

Just discovered you guys. Beautiful videos. Thank you for visiting Mexico. You should go back to Mexico and visit Jalisco, or xcaret also in Yucatán. There is Guanajuato, Michoacán, Chiapas, and Oaxaca too !!!
thank and welcome to the channel. We will definitely return to cover more of beautiful Mexico. you gave us fantastic options 👍😀
Awesome video 👍 You guys should be tourist guides 💯
Thank you, thats really nice of you!
Thank you for the great advice. Great vlog. Do you prefer Cancun or Playa del Carmen?
We really enjoyed all the places we visited, but my favorite was Isla Mujeres. Gordon’s favorite was Cozumel. About Playa, I loved how everything is so close and that apart from the cenotes you can walk everywhere. The beaches in Cancun are dreamy and astonishing, much better than I expected, but the city is very commercialized, and the hotel zone is as expensive as NY, unfortunately 😕
Thank you so much for this remarkable video about Cancun. FIFA is gearing up soon. I have a restaurant here in Qatar and choose some main dishes for the Brazilian football fans, I've added Brazillian Beef Stroganoff, Picadillo, and Shrimp Stew to the menu
We have Qatar content coming right up.
some very valuable information and Gordon is going to start asking for more time in front of the camera Thank You Renata
And a paycheck...haha👍😂
Wow keren pantainya indah banget pemandanganya,ini pantai di meksiko renata

Renata: I can't wait for you guys to releases some remarkable videos from Cancun, Mexico this week in September of 2022!
We are done with Mexico...for now. On to the Middle East
Beautiful
Thank you again Cheema!
Bonjour Renata et Gordon, je pense que choisir un lieu de villégiature à Cancun doit être assez compliqué, mais c'est très beau. Vos conseils sont judicieux.
Merci. Oui, il y a tellement d'options et d'endroits qu'il est très difficile de choisir. Nous pouvons en faire plus pour donner à notre public plus de perspective
Renata: You guys really needs to enjoys yourselves @ this remarkable Resorts in Cancun, Mexico this week with great beaches, hotels, restaurants, entertainment centers, etc. in September of 2022!
Thanks a lot! It's great to see you back 🤗🤗
Renata: I really LOVE to watch your remarkable videos so much in great joy 2022!
Great video, but I'm waiting for the Qatar clip in Box Park 😂😂
HAHA, coming up next as in next week. Thanks for your patience 😀👍
Whenever you're back in Florida,you should check out the off the beaten path city of Frostproof during the winter to see if it is really frostproof..lol..
HAHA, great title. I put in our idea bin...thank you for the suggestion 👍😀
I like your hat!

Renata: I am hoping that the new videos will be releases this week of October of 2022.Thanks you guys so much about the Middle East of Doha,Qatar in 2022!
Hello Renata and Gordon have not commented for a while sorry but I am not into Mexico sorry..............Great info
We missed you...thanks for returning we really appreciate your support.
I use trip advisor every year we plan our all inclusive vaca to riviera maya. We’ve been happy so far with secrets maroma, the old secrets silver sands 10 years ago, and last year the Valentin Imperial. This year is El dorado royale for 10 days.
Can you share your fave thing about each?
@@RenataPereiraTV silversands was 12 years ago… but it was very lively and fun. I’d say it catered to a younger crowd as it was closer to Cancun. It’s no longer a secrets now.
Secrets Maroma is the height of romantic atmosphere from the rooms to the grounds. It was very relaxing, quiet resort… mostly mid 30’s and up in age. They have a taco and pizza place by the pool that is super good! And all the food at secrets is good. My favorite was the sushi. They have great shows too.
The valentine was just last winter and I really loved the grounds! It’s truly a Mexican paradise there! Lots of walking but it’s gorgeous! The main pool is huge and you never feel like there’s too many people in it. There is a loud side and a quiet side. The food I felt was “meh” nothing really grabbed me and had me wanting more except for the salmon at Taman Sari! By far the best restaurant/food there.
The shows were good, the band played for dancing at 11 but we were usually done by then. We took gorgeous 25th anniversary photos with them while there and I’m so glad we did. The beach is also a gorgeous LONG white sand with barely any sargasso in December. The staff is amazing! I feel like the valentin caters to return guests and there are a ton who’ve gone for many years. I’d say it’s a multi age resort.
Thank you for sharing. You gave a reason to return and try another all inclusive
Olá Renata e Gordon. Estou revendo todos seus videos , agora sim em Inglês. Como sempre sinto, uma aula de prazer e conhecimento no aconchego do nosso lar. Mesmo sem sair de casa a viagem é deslumbrante, significativa, dá até para contar aos amigos detalhes dos lugares por vcs. visitados. Dê vez em quanto até dou entender que estive nesses lugares, KKKKK . Uma mentira gostosa e divertida. O pessoal fica eufórico querendo saber mais. Sou privilegiado. Qualquer dia desse vou ser pego na mentira.
Girl, keep them tips coming!!! 😁
EDIT: Is that the Omni hotel? Please please please give me tips and anything you can share about that resort. We'll be there with our kids soon.
Will do. Please see our other all inclusive video as there is a bit more info there. The only thing I can add is make sure about the al a cart restaurants are open and get reservation early in the day. There are lots of pools and the ocean, though they have strong waves, would be good for kids especially with parent supervision who are good swimmers. If you staying longer than a few days, the beach at the "I Love Cancun " sign is good tho the waves there are stronger....it is good to get of campus, only 20 minute walk and all free. Have fun!
I'm taking my family to an all inclusive in a couple of weeks! Thank you for the info. Could you advise us on HOW MUCH to tip? Is it per day? Per drink? Per meal? Per stay? How much would you tip for a glass of wine, for instance?
Hard question to answer. What resort are you at? How much are you paying? Are you a member of the resort/time share?
I will give the "pat" answer - if you feel the service was exceptional then do tip. But that does not help. Also, is this a first time you are going to AI All Inclusive resort?
I love ur videos! Planning on going to Xcaret Arte in a couple months.. Any tips for that place? I read reviews and it seems checking in can be long and Im seeing different rates all over the internet. Is booking with an 3rd party site recommended for all inclusive resorts? Thank you for your help.
Hi Michael! We haven't stayed there yet, so my only tip at the moment is to be very careful as to where you book. I just read about a few cases where someone created fake websites pretending to be the official Xcaret Arte website, and a lot of people got scammed. They booked (and paid) thinking they were booking via the official page, only to arrive at the resort and find out they lost everything. About booking via 3rd party sites, we never had problems using hotels .com. We concentrate all our bookings there, so we reached gold status in their loyalty program and now we get a few benefits at certain hotels. But make sure you use a well-known site like that, or booking, Agoda, tripadvisor, trivago, expedia, etc, any of these big ones.
@@RenataPereiraTV thank you Renata. You guys rock and I will be looking forward to your next video!😊
@@michaelegan7328 Thank you so much 🙌🤗😊
Renata: I am hoping that you planning to releases a new videos this weekend or next week in September of 2022.I can’t wait to start watching your great videos in September of 2022!

Renata: I am hoping that you guys are planning to releases more new videos soon this Month of September of 2022.I believed this is your fifth videos you guys released from Cancun, Mexico in 2022!
I hope we can release more entertaining content
When was this video taken? It looks like the beach was free of seaweed.
Earlier this year
Do you tip for every drink that you get and how much?
Yes… we tipped 20 pesos or 1 dollar… about the same of what I saw other people doing. Every single time 🤷♀️
For secrets brand resorts do you sugest tipping?
Tipping is a personal choice but it should be for exceptional service.
Please take us to Bahamas ms. Renata 🥺
OH I would love to visit the Bahamas...just maybe this winter 👍😀
@@RenataPereiraTV we're waiting 😃
I sea this good
Thank you for watching
Em relação a Cancun é verdade - Já visitei esse paraíso três vezes.
Renata:How much does these resorts cost in Cancun, Mexico to rent these beaches, hotels,etc? I wish you guys all the best in Cancun, Mexico in 2022!
They range in price from maybe $150 per day to hundreds....they can get quite expensive
Renata: I really love this remarkable Resorts in Cancun, Mexico in 2022.I am hoping to visit this great Paradise in the near future in 2024!

Renata: You guys are really enjoying in Cancun, Mexico for the past three months in 2022!
We did enjoy and I can see us returning....such a beautiful place

You are most welcome ADNAN!
@@RenataPereiraTV you are welcome ma'am renata 🙋
In Britain, tips are voluntary , the staff are paid the same as most of the people who go there , My dad never gets a tip for doing his job !
Thank you for the information. The tipping culture in North America is crazy and so confusing especially for foreigners

Thank you so much 🤗
Not at XCARET …Mexican food is so YUM!!!!!
Thanks for sharing and for watching. We would love to return and experience Xcaret.
What resort???
Please see our other video on the resort
We do not budget for it because we're in an all inclusive. We find that is the whole point why we choose all inclusive to not have to walk around with money so we do not. We always have great service and paying extra should never change that.
I agree but one should remember...there are classes even within all-inclusive...different color bands. I think it is an unfortunate way to go.
Did not know, that Mexico is so expensive 😮
Mexican Riviera can be
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 129
Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can attest to the whole "check out the beach BEFORE booking" thing: right before the start of the scamdemic, we stayed at the El Dorado Royale in Riviera Maya. While the resort itself was absolutely SPECTACULAR, with the best food (allergy-aware, btw) and service, this resort's beaches were the absolute worst I have experienced anywhere in my llfe, and I've seen a few. They were all super-rocky, all the sand they brought in was washed away, and due to the angle of the coastline the wind made the waters way too rough to swim or sail or do anything at all in, really. Just 20 min further down the coast the beaches get nice, calm and completely white with sand. Never again will I repeat this mistake.
Thank you for sharing your experience/tip
Why did you never go anywhere from Turkey?
I love Turkey! Been there before creating this channel. We had plans to go back in 2020, but with covid we had to make changes and couldn’t reschedule yet. But we will 😉
@@RenataPereiraTV Prefer Bodrum , Marmaris , I recommend Clopatra Beach , check out all inclusive hotels , if you go , eat the chicken breast desserts for me .
Cleopatra Beach in Alanya? Thank you for the suggestions...they are on the list 👍😀👍

Спасибо за просмотр
@@RenataPereiraTV Гордон какой молодец . У меня выбором места отдыха и прочим занималась моя женщина.
Лично мне много не нужно : это вид из окна , мягкая постель, температура воды рано утром в бассейне и в море и всё.
Я не любитель валяться на пляже и всевозможных мероприятий .
Я не гурман в пище , но не откажусь в незначительной дегустации местного приготовления и не более.
Больше предпочитал просто любоваться местным колоритом.
Единственная проблема это с языками , что в поной мере восполняла моя женщина, которая считала это моим плюсом поскольку меня не возможно было обмануть местным жителям и прочему персоналу . ))))
Касаемо видео , то кому то это бесспорно пригодится сохранить значительную часть своего бюджета , особенно когда люди обращаются в туристические агентства, которые зачастую под "всё включено" многое не договаривают .
Гордон передает привет! Мы более простые люди. Кажется, это большой бизнес в мексиканской Ривьере, поэтому мы решили, что должны помочь другим в их решении.
Мы слышали от европейского последователя, что в Испании все включено намного дешевле, поэтому, возможно, американцы тратят больше.
Я надеюсь, что однажды мы сможем встретиться и очень рады, что мы продолжаем общаться
@@RenataPereiraTV Конечно бюджет на отдых у всех разный и кому то знать возможные нюансы пригодится .
Политики ещё долго будут играться создавая проблемы для людей и возможно на этих играх сформируется целое поколение .
Знаете Рената, в моей стране не ощущается какой то кризисной ситуации и прочего негатива, а введённые внешние ограничения надеюсь будут способствуют развитию привлекательного туристического бизнеса в нашей стране.
у вас такая огромная страна, что она предлагает так много для самых разных туристов. Гордон очень хочет вернуться в Санкт-Петербург... мы немного пропустили эти праздники в честь летнего солнцестояния... и увидеть другие места, особенно восточную Азию.
Мы встретили некоторых австралийцев, которые вернулись в вашу страну во второй раз и были удивлены культурой/историей... вам есть чем поделиться😀👍
Bribery is totally unnecessary. Those who produce videos like this are guaranteed top service just by advertising the need to tip. This attitude is obscene and offensive.
You are not understood. We produced this video and yet did not get top service. In our opinion, all-inclusives are not worth the money as you pay top dollar for a resort and the expectation is that you are taken care of well. Not so, especially during high season when there are lots of tourists. Having said that, these Caribbean AI sure have things figured out.
