I've been looking for a video just like this. Hoping to book a trip. Thanks!
Yay! So glad!
Thank you so much for your tips!
So helpful! Thank you.
I love all your videos, I can't wait to watch this!!! Thank you!
Thanks Jessie! So glad you are here!
Cool
Tips.
Wow the fact that they don't require a negative covid test makes this my choice for this year! Cancun here we come!
Thanks for sharing this great video!
Thanks for watching!
This was super helpful! Iâm possibly going to Mexico for Christmas, and Iâm trying to gather all info possible.
Planning to go to Cancun and Tulum this spring. Very much looking forward to it
Tulum kinda reminds me of south beach with all tourists, itâs really nice out there tho, but only bad thing is itâs like 2 hours from the airport
very informative thank you
Gosh I LOVE this! It seems like everyone I know is going to Mexico right now and I want to join them! THANK YOU for all the great info - you NEVER let me down! I probably saved enough money by following your Black Friday/Holiday Sales Tips (I paid the whopping $2 for your Deals list - SO WORTH IT!) to pay for my entire trip! YAY!! Mucho Gracias!
Aw thanks! Yeah, flights have been really low across the board. That's probably why you've seen a lot of people heading to Mexico. Check Google Flights to help you!
This was amazing my family is going for March break and I wanted tips so this help alot
Great info!! Iâm going to Cancun in a few months. Never been there before.
I went in June and loved it! Going back in 3 weeks! Tested positive for covid when i returned..
Love itđđ
I love that youâre posting these videos again
Thanks Kimberly! I hope you can use the tips in it sometime soon! :)
Went in 2018 and October 2021 got to experience a hurricane at the resort that was cool. Canât wait to go back this July!!!
Love Mexico! So beautiful.
It totally is!
This was great! My husband and I are going for our 30 yr wedding anniversary next month. We have never been to Mexico. We normally do Florida Gulf resorts, but they are 2 to 4 times more expensive. Thank you for your tips.
How was it?
Iâm going to Cancun for the first time me and my girlfriend. Honestly i was a little skeptical at first but the more i watch these vids the more comfy i get. Thank youuu!!!
OMG I wish I would go there itâs beautiful!
My 6-year-old daughter made this comment. đ Looks like your channel has another fan in our household. Better start saving for our next trip. đ
@Leanne Kelly LOL đ
Thank you so much
Excellent tips! Planning to travel to Cancun with my son for the first time in early March. Any recommendations on All-Inclusive Hotels for first timers? Thank you. :)
Thank you so much for this amazing video.
Do you recommend a website for all inclusive resorts for family? I want to make sure my two little daughters are in a fun safe resort.
We went to Cancun in 2019 and had a ball! Also use bottled water to brush your teeth. Such a beautiful place to travel and explore!
Yes, we did that too! No one wants to get sick on vacation or deal with sick kiddos. You can go back so many times and have a completely different trip. It's great!
you canât use the bathroom sink to brush your teeth?
@@unknownmyst_7826 it may be filtered but my friend got sick so I wasnât taking chances with any water I would ingest. I bathed with the resort water but any I would put in my mouth was bottled.
@@tifanymack4587 it seems like y'all never drank from the tap water in the US which its tap water is worser than Mexico, smh.
@@julioescobar4946 that is correct. I donât drink tap water in the US either đ
Looks like fun! Heading to Vallarta in a couple of weeks :)
Ooooo fun! I hope you have a blast!
This is awesome. Which resort did you stay in. Iâm looking for one with slides , pool activities etc like what you showed in the video
Confused! Is this during the pandemic?
Yes lol watch the video and she shows Mexicoâs restrictions đ
Yes it is
Yes. We went for thanksgiving break and it was awesome! Very safe. We stayed 2 weeks.
did you watch video? If you did youâd see everyone wearing stupid masks.
Which resorts did you guys go? Iâm looking to visit Cancun this year. Thank you for the info, love your videos.
Speaking Spanish is fun . . !! Great video!!
Thanks girl!
Very helpful video! We are going to cancun in 2weeks, It hard to decide which resort will be worth the money. Any recommendations for all inclusive resort for a family of 4 including 7and 8 years old boys?
Looks so fun! My 3 year old was disappointed she only saw one of your painted nails in the paperwork shots đđđ
Haha. Oh no!! Iâll try to get more nail shots ok the future đ€Ł
Cancun is the best place to go to Mexico FYI
great tips! question....what resort is the Waterpark in this video???
Did you have to do anything with coming back to the states?? Was it easy to re-enter? Did you have to do a Covid test? Any tips? Thank you!
Web u recommend this place for couples ?
Where did u book the flights or itâs I. All included ?
Help how do I do this ?
Hi there.. where was the trampoline park was that at the hotel?
I have been watching your video's for years! I'm so glad your family got to go on vacation. Ours was cancelled to The Atlantis last May because of Covid.
I love Mexico & have been there 3 times, but every time I get super sick no matter what I do! I tried all the medications & not drinking the water, no ice & brushing my teeth with bottled water. But the revenge gets me every time!!!! LOL....
OH man!! Seriously the worst! If you go again, stay away from anything they might wash without cooking, like Salad (lettuce) or Fruit.....it could be something like that. Hope you get to reschedule your Atlantis trip!
Can someone tell me a of a good website to buy the vacation package?
This might be a dumb question, but there is no TSA type check when leaving Cancun? I noticed your vanilla was over 8oz. US TSA blows a blood vessel when packing containers over 3 oz.
We haven't been to Mexico since before kids, this was super helpful. We're looking for a warm place to travel this year. I'm definitely leaning towards an all inclusive resort (kids ages 11, 8, & 4). Curious what your favorites have been?
There are soooo many options! So I think it comes down to if you want all-inclusive or not. And then what things are at the resort your family wants to do. This time, we stayed at the Hard Rock Riviera Maya. Im hoping I will have a video up in a few weeks for you guys showing that so you can see details of what it was like. Cabo is also another favorite (shorter flight too!)
Me and 6 other of my dawgs are flying from Seattle to Cancun this July of 2021! Canât wait, donât know what to expect. Just going to go with the flow. Tickets are bought! âïžâ đČđœ
We have a trip planned to Cancun in March, Iâm excited! Because weâre a big group, we opted to stay in an Airbnb. Any tips for that situation? I would love to book excursions in advance, how can I do that?
Most excursions will have websites that give discounts for booking bundles, special discounts for groups and early booking discounts. Like if you guys wanted to go do xplor like we did, they have discounts on their website all the time!
When is the best time to visit (not crowded, good weather)?
Visited Mexico many times when we lived in the USA and I never got ill my hubby got sick once and Lomatil fixed if very quickly. Not keen on Cancun at all much prefer Cabo. We tipped the bar staff when we first arrived and got super service our whole stay plus we tipped when we left also did this with our domestic she was old,put in long hours and looked after us like family, and on leaving my husband tipped her about a weeks wages. He also gave her our portable DVD Player and the kids videos as she had been making comments on it for a while and she cried. Yes agree never drink the tap water and gotta be so careful with anything washed in tap water too. I bought a very large bottle of Mexican Vanilla for baking nothing like it for baking. Love Mexico and the people are so friendly,
Yes, we love Cabo too!! And love the rest of your comments and totally agree!đ
Quiero conocer Cancun mexico

How long did you stay at hard rock hotel? Did all your activities you showed with the kids included in resort? How did you book flights and hotel? What website?
We were there a week. I am hoping to have a video for you guys in a couple weeks showing you what the hard rock Riviera Maya was like đđ» we used Google flights to find the cheapest flights and ended up booking through Delta. And for this particular trip we actually ended up using our Chase points to book the hotelđđ»
@@TheMeleaShow awesome thanks!! Is Cancun your favorite place to travel with kids in Mexico?
@@lifeaswegomez There is TONS to do in Cancun with kids. Cabo is also great, not as much to do. But the flight is a lot shorter--and can be cheaper. A lot of resorts have plenty to do on-site and you don't really need to do excursions unless you really want to. Not doing excursions, our kids have never been bored. There's always enough at the hotel (activities, shows, etc) to do!
I miss your videos so much
Hoping to share more! CZcams had a lot of issues last year I didn't want to waste my time with. 2021 is looking better! XO
Question? Due to covid what paper form or proof due we need to show? I mean do we have to take the covid vaccine before we travel and show proof or not?
Is traveling back with kids from Mexico hard???! Weâre flying to Mexico for a ceremony but staying for the honeymoon while kids fly back with grandma!
I have a question đ€ What are the first forms you said to keep safe?
any activities recommended for non-swimmers ?
Pesos are the only way to go. You get change in pesos if you use USD, and often times the change is a little short.
Did you buy tours in cancun or online
My parents are Mexican and we woke up 7 hours earlier for the car ride to the airport!
I have a question about tipping. My husband and I are big tippers. We just believe people who earn tips, should be tipped generously. So what is a good tip and do you just keep handing out the bills like its candy.
Is it okay to have ice in your drinks?
You are a cute fam đđ„° adorbs fam
Can you do previously recorded vlogs before the covid
Ik it would have been better but some people are trying to live just let them be itâs them taking a risk not you just worry about your health right now and let others worry about thereâs
You can fill out the immigration online, print it and bring with you. No need to bring a pen and some of the airlines are not even handing them out anymore
Great tip! That's one I always forget because I'm running around like a madwoman trying to make it to the airport on time, lol!
Where did you get your covid test to come back to the us
Which hotel was this?
5:18 claro que sĂ bonita. AsĂ estĂĄis
Would you recommend this particular resort for couples or another resort for 2 adults? Also if we take kids to this resort, do you have to book 2 separate rooms or do they have rooms for families of 5 for example?
There are a lot of great resorts in Cancun! Honestly too many cuz it makes it hard to choose! We stayed at the Hard Rock Riviera Maya this time around. I'm hoping to have a full video up on that in a couple weeks so you guys can see what it's like and if it might be a good fit for your families. If you are going with just adults, sometimes it's nice to find an adults only hotel instead. For this particular resort, they did have room options that would sleep up to 6 I believe?
Do they wash produce/cook with bottled water too?
No, not always. I've had friends in the past get sick from things like lettuce. That's why pepto is always a good thing to travel with :)
Do you need to do a covid test to get back into the states?
Yes
So we are booked for hotel zone for may. Two days ago I found they now require negative test for re entry to US ! Should we cancel ? I have no idea how we will get a test down there. I donât want to travel around Cancun looking for a testing site and encounter dangerous situations
Check with your resort! A lot of resorts are offering free antigen testing at the resort before you leave!
Do you need to get tested when coming back to the USA?
That's exactly what I need to know
How can you get such a big bottle of vanilla on the plane with the liquid limit?
If you buy it at the airport, itâs after youve gone through security. They have it everywhere! In bigger bottles than I showed too!đđ»
This was a very informative vlog.... all very good things for people new to Mexico. the ONLY THING I WOULD CHANGE IS..... you should tip your waiters in Pesos, and not US currency.... only because many of them work 6 days a week, and it is REALLY HARD for them to get to the bank to exchange the American money.
We were told this by our waiters in 2019, when we went to Cancun.
you need to visit Los Cabos and la Paz it's so beautiful la paz is better than Cancun in my opinion the beaches are so clean and the water so cristaline.
Please don't let anyone know about La Paz. We need to keep it secret as long as possible!
Thank you for the helpful tips and sharing highlights with your family. Ironically, we are taking our kids (12 and 14) to the this resort in March. And ignore the haters... not everyone lives in fear of a virus with a 99.9% survival rate ;)
Thanks girl!!! I hope you have the best time! Iâm going to do a full video about this resort. Hopefully itâll be up in a couple weeks so you guys can use those tips toođ
Tell me you didnât go to college without telling me you didnât go to college
Howdy Illenials
Lmao this video is soooo white đđ
Do you need a passport to go to Cancun Mexico ?đ€
All those places take CC. so only need for cash is tips.
WILL WE NEED NEGATIVE TEST RESULTS TO COME BACK TO AMERICA?!
Yes
You paid $260 usd for transportation ?
That mexico money so 260 pesos is 12.55
Your right about the chocolate đ«!
I'm mexican and I don't like mexican chocolate..
Really thought about subscribing until I saw you travel to a different country during a pandemic for fun
Wow. The fact that they donât ask for a negative test makes me nervous.
Other countries allowing travel do require one. Mexico (as of today) isnt. But we all know everything can change at any moment these days. :)
stayed in secrets in cabo.. tipped people.. didnt really see any difference in service.
man wtf
No offense this isn't really a travel guide. You just went to a resort.
Come travel to a place where âyour safety â is mentioned several times, you canât drink the water, and the âstaffâ waiting on you makes $5 A DAY- no thanks.
Safer than the US says 1000s of travelers..Tipping is awesome for workers and you get even greater services
DONT BE A CHEAPSKATE
WE go alot to Cabo, Cancun etc but I still enjoy Melas vids.. always get a good like snacks. Fun fun
And you really think that it safe to go to a foreign country without a covid test
Bring your own chocolate? That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard
I'm from Mexico and the chocolate Mexico it's the best I don't Lake the chocolates in U S that's not good I don't like the way you express yourself about Mexican people
Hibachi restaurant in Mexico đ€ź
You really shouldnât be traveling right now let alone promoting it god
Some people are not afraid of this âvirusâlike others. Let people live their lives
I would NEVER take my kids into Mexico
I really donât think you should be promoting travel during a pandemic
DONT GO HERE UNLESS YOU WHAT A DEATH SENTENCE!! Why would anyone go there? So many tourists being murdered everyday but they cover it up, even in resorts!
What hotel was that?
The Hard Rock riviera maya! Hoping Iâll have a full video up about their hotel in a couple weeks. So stay tuned!!
