    What a great informative video Steve, the beach was a bit disappointing, thanks for letting us know about the seaweed. Love your videos ❤❤

      Thank you for following us. . We didn't find the seaweed to much of a problem, they do a good job of clearing it as much as they can.

      Taxis and excursions were so expensive, hence we only did one trip into a a del carmen and one tour.
      This was the only way of getting off resort. The resort was huge, but we like to walk and explore without the cost of transport.
      We had a great time non the less. xx

    Great video Steve, we're goung in September and cant wait now. Am i right in thinking they do trips into PDC? Is there a local bus you could hop on as £40 return trips will soon add up. We was thinking of going to PDC 2 maybe 3 times whilst there

    • @steveandcarole
      @steveandcarole  Před 2 měsíci +1

      We only used the taxi from hotel, they didn't have a bus from hotel. We paid 400 pesos from hotel into PDC, taxi back was 350 pesos.
      The hotel resort is excellent.
      Have a wonderful time. x
      When you come out of hotel it's not walkable to the main road and we never saw anyone trying to walk.
      Hope this helps.

Does this resort have facilities in place (elevators, ramps, golf carts etc) to help me get everywhere I might want to go? (ie: from room to restaurants, beach, pool etc..) Thanks so much, Steve S

      Hi Steven, you will have no problem. There are lifts in all hotel blocks, there is a trolly cart which transports you around the resort, restaurants, beach, pools, lobby etc!
      Have a wonderful holiday.
      We loved the resort.

      We are growing Alison, we are shocked how many subscribers we have. Appreciate every one of them.
      I could have watched those. Monkeys all day long they were so characteristic. We were told that if you had food and you didn't give it to them they could be aggressive.
      The resort was humongous and so nice and relaxing atmosphere. Staff were exceptional. xx

    Steve great videos,having been to Cuba and cancun,I don't think they are worth the journey to be honest.we have beaches in my opinion just as good in parts of Europe,my fav as I said before is cyprus not least for the food alone.

    • @steveandcarole

      We have never done Cuba and it was our first time in Mexico. You never know what countries are worth going too unless you go.
      Agree Cyprus has some lovely beaches and we have only seen a couple. Food is deliciously tasty, hence why we are coming back september. Appreciate your message and thanks for watching.

    Thought hotel was lovely and food decent , I think the taxi fares each visit to town would get me down a bit but you know next time if you return , bathroom wires I’d be concerned aswell as lose wires in a bathroom isn’t a match made in heaven lol , overall though very nice

    • @steveandcarole
      @steveandcarole  Před 2 měsíci +1

      Hotel was faultless apart from that wiring. We just couldn't overlook it.
      Taxi was a ridiculous price, and tours were extortionate.

      @steveandcarole  Před 2 měsíci

      Taxi was a bit hefty.
      Hotel was great value.
      Wiring was probably a mishap, unlocked itself from under the counter. It was reported.
