Just got back home. Wish I was in your shoes .. would love to be there all the time. Playa is the place that I will retire to one day. Love your videos.
Hello, thank you for your video. We are heading to fly for the Christmas week and would love to know about the best beach clubs and the best live music locations. Thanks again and the picture quality on your GoPro is excellent!
The camera is actually the DJI Action 5 Pro! And my pleasure, happy to help! I may do a full video on the beach clubs, but definitely AVOID anything near Playa 38, as the sewage problem is still there unfortunately. Based on how the beaches are looking lately I would hit Inti, Soundset, or even Mamitas at this time! Thanks for watching and cheers to a great trip and a Merry Christmas 🎄🏝️😎🇲🇽
I really enjoy your content. I used to live in Vallarta and I’m back home in Tampa Bay. My goal is to get back to PDC as I frequent there. Definitely been taking advantage of your rental property videos. Super cool that you do your research on the cost. I know a lot of people don’t know exactly how to get a nice property at a reasonable price, appreciate you showing that side of live in MX. Your food vlogs are top notch too!! I definitely can relate to being back in the states getting you down. My energy is not the same. Well done on your fitness goals. Lastly, great video, clear views and sounds great!
Thanks Jennie!! I have another food vlog in the works! Couldn’t film it before because of the low light in that particular restaurant but this camera should do the trick. Hope you make it back soon and look forward to seeing you around town! Thanks for supporting the channel ❤️🏝️😎
Que bueno que regresaste!!! 👏👏👏 Saludos a Jorge y a Ana! Ya ganaste algunas libras, ahora a ganar COLOR con un buen bronceado! Ya te estabas volviendo transparente en tu país 😅 Abrazos!!!
Jajaja siiii es cierto corazón de melón me veía como Gasparín pero ya no… ya tengo color de canela pasión 😅🤣! Vas a ver en el próximo video 😎. Abrazos de Playa 🏝️ 🤗
there you are....good to see u again....we just left playa on Saturday....sorry missed an opportunity to share a beer or two with you....thanks for posting this video....keep 'em coming....ive been to that restaurant I actually had a rib-eye there, it was pretty decent, they provided good service as well, met the owner too....
Welcome home. Great meeting you today by the Chedraui. We enjoy your restaurant reviews and recommendations, spots to visit and safety tips. Glen and Mariska 🇨🇦/ CocoBeach 1
Great hearing from you man!! Always fun to run into people with such good vibes and who ALSO love the videos! Feeling blessed! Thanks for supporting the channel ❤️🏝️😎
Heyyy RopeMonster, I'm just not sure why your 1st playa video showed up after your 2nd video..😶 but no matter. The quality is quite good in both videos and I like the realistic sound od wind n wave, the sound is definitely not overwhelming. Your voice comes thru great. On another note, we got held up in 'The City' cdmx, a little longer than planned, but all good, headed to playa in a couple days. And, yes you look more like yourself now, i think after you guys got sick a few months back, you didn’t fully recover until now. Lookin healthy. Thanks for all your content and good vibes.
Thanks my friend!! Really appreciate the feedback! Yea that Dengue and food poisoning double whammy was a tough one but I’ve been putting in the work as far as diet, rest, exercise, herbs etc and the sun and salt water are the X factors no doubt! Great to be healthy again! Hope to see you guys around town 🏝️🇲🇽❤️😎
Great to hear that Osvaldo! Let me know if you have any areas of town or a particular beach you’d like me to cover before your trip down! Thanks for checking out the video ❤️🏝️🇲🇽
La Paz was my place I loved that city ppl were so happy and friendly no matter where u was from! Heck even the federal marines were cool patrolling the streets , weather was always amazing water warm! But times ever! Oh and the food was amazing forget Cabo and Puerto Vallarta lol Là Paz was my all time favorite during my time in Mexico!
So, so good to be back!! No words for how good the sun and salt feels! Thanks for checking out the video and sticking with the channel during the “dark times” 😎❤️🏝️
We did eat at that streak place however it was in 2019. It was very good and worth a try. Usually when I go to Playa I eat as much arrachera as possible so I haven’t been to too many steakhouses to compare.
The West coast is great, but you can't beat the East coast feel. I've stayed at the Maya Bric on 5th a couple times, but usually end up in Puerto Morelos
Awesome thanks for sharing that! Great question..I think World Gym and Evolve are the undisputed best gyms in Playa. More amenities at Evolve such as sauna and more cardio equipment but I think World Gym is less crowded and better for people into body building. Both are around the same price point. Thanks for checking out the video my friend ❤️🏝️😎
Really appreciate the feedback! I was pretty impressed with the windslayer in that heavy wind…when I was editing with the headphones on I almost couldn’t believe it was that effective 😎🏝️❤️
Currently watching this video I have some questions As you walked North on 5th passed CTM. I see towards that direction there are some construction sites going on across 500 Gramos Grill. When we were there in October I only walked up to aloft hotel too but walked along 10th going north. When we were there we stayed at a Hilton property called the Fives Residences which sell but once we found out it was like a timeshare, etc which I’m not interested at all. Looking for something I can just leave our clothes behind and come in & out as we pleased. 1) still checking to see if Playa is an area of Mexico want to buy a condo or apartment. Do you find going up North of 5th prices are much more than walking down South of 5th? 2) High season do you see much of a price difference on stays? In the USA especially here in Texas or California we need a car to get anywhere vs Europe or Mexico we utilize our feet 👣, cycling 🚴, public transportation Thinking of taking another flight back to playa just to get in my steps
I love the walkability here too it’s incredible!! I would say yes, there’s definitely a noticeable difference between low and high season and it can be a good idea to lock in a long term lease during low season to secure a better price. North of CTM is still cheaper by far and especially north of 72 until 88 there are some good values to be had! Hope that helps and am actually planning a video on rents soon! Haven’t done one of those videos since July so it’s time for an update! Thanks for watching ❤️🏝️🇲🇽😎
That’s about the best time of year as far as the weather typically! From Late November to mid March is the best imo! Thanks for watching and happy to hear about your upcoming trip 😎🏝️❤️
in Texas for thanksgiving.. miss playa.. ive been living in playa for 3 months and still find myself saying " i cant i believe i live here" but i do need to get more active.. im just a fat american there. heard that steak place is meh. have you been to india jones? ive heard nothing but good things about that place.
My buddy always talks about India Jones and he himself makes great Indian food… still says this place is better than his own cooking! So I’ll check it out asap! Thanks for the reminder and for checking out the video!
Thanks guys!! I’ll leave a link to a video of my basics here below! Battle ropes, raw eggs, bone broth, volleyball all play there parts 🏝️😎🏐❤️. Thanks for watching! ua-cam.com/video/-YHza8wfxxI/v-deo.htmlsi=trzU1j-cLAEas9Nm
Lived in Vallarta/Nuevo Vallarta/Bucerias for 27 years. Loved it. But 3 years ago moved to PDC for much easier access to Europe. Direct flights to Frankfurt, Amsterdam, Paris, Madrid, etc. Plus PDC feels much more diverse and youthful than Vallarta. Lots of Germans, Dutch, Spaniards, Russians, Ukrainians, Argentines, etc., many in their 20s, 30s, 40s. AND, people from all over Mexico here. Vallarta area, in terms of foreigners, is mostly just retired Americans and Canadians. Many of whom (not all) just love to complain about everything.
Such a great point!! That CUN airport is so, so convenient to hop around the world whether it be South America, North America or Europe! Thanks for sharing that! 🏝️😎
Tourism has ruined playa del carnem. It used to be a chill place. Now you can't walk anywhere without someone wanting to scam you or expecting a tip just for standing there
side note about world gym, im a member.. they finally got cardio equipment a couple of weeks ago..4 or 5 treadmills, couple of stair climbers, a couple of bikes.. i think theyre also going to expand towards the front.. dont quote me on that part but there is some sort of construction going on.
😅😅… there’s definitely a lot of that here! But I would say there’s more to this place than that if you look for it! Volleyball, cenotes, hiking, secret beaches, great food, yoga scene etc. Thanks for watching ❤️🇲🇽🏝️😎
Yes! It's the blue and the greens that keep us here!
Those colors 😍🏝️☀️
Watched, liked and also subscribed 👊
Off to Playa in January so thanks for the update…
Thanks Mike, much appreciated! 😎🏝️
Just got back home. Wish I was in your shoes .. would love to be there all the time. Playa is the place that I will retire to one day.
Love your videos.
Thanks my friend! Really appreciate you supporting the channel and checking out the video! You’ll get there 😎🏝️
Nice to see that you’re back in PDC! The new camera looks and sounds great! Can’t wait to come back.
Thanks for the feedback Kris!! It’s great to be back 🏝️😎
Always a pleasure watching your channel. All the best to Anna ❤

Yes yesterday sargasum down next to Lido near the angled lighthouse. And it smelled more like sewer, too but lunch at Lido was great!
Thanks for the update Lisa! Glad to hear lunch was delicious ❤️🏝️😎🇲🇽

I agree about the state of the US right now. My wife and I started looking into renting a place in Playa. We are both ready to retire and move there.
Good for you guys!! I highly doubt you’ll regret it! Thanks for checking out the video 🏝️😎❤️

Still haven’t been! I just put it on my list 😎🏝️

Hanging with the locals on the beach drinking on Sunday is a good time. Salute
No doubt my friend!! Thanks for checking out the video 🏝️😎
Great video…we will be there for New years. Gracias
Great to hear that Osvaldo! Let me know if you have any areas of town or a particular beach you’d like me to cover before your trip down! Thanks for checking out the video ❤️🏝️🇲🇽
Nice to see 👀 you back in Mexico 🇲🇽 saludos desde California
Gracias Angel!! So good to be back… I was getting way too white in the US 😅😎

Amazing thanks for sharing!! I have a buddy there now who says the same! I’ll have to check it out 🏝️😎☀️
@ heck yeah you should! Have a good one my friend!!
What camera are you using? This looks awesome!
Thanks my friend! I shot this with the DJI Action 5 Pro 😎🏝️
Yay! Good to see you back in your element! You really shine on the beach 🏝️ the US was depressing
So, so good to be back!! No words for how good the sun and salt feels! Thanks for checking out the video and sticking with the channel during the “dark times” 😎❤️🏝️
We did eat at that streak place however it was in 2019. It was very good and worth a try. Usually when I go to Playa I eat as much arrachera as possible so I haven’t been to too many steakhouses to compare.
Ok I’ll give it a shot then based on your experience. Thanks for sharing!
Sounds real good amigo
Am I seeing more sargasso in the water out away from shore ?
Hmmm I didn’t notice any and those beaches (Mamitas and 38) are still free of sargassum! Thanks for watching 🇲🇽🏝️😎❤️
@@theropemonster It wasn't on the beach but maybe 20 feet into the water, you could see a wide black band of seaweed
The West coast is great, but you can't beat the East coast feel. I've stayed at the Maya Bric on 5th a couple times, but usually end up in Puerto Morelos
Facts!! Always back to PDC and these turquoise waters! Thanks for watching!
What is the best gym in Playa? Great vid thanks! We just got back from Barcelo and the beach was perfect there too
Awesome thanks for sharing that! Great question..I think World Gym and Evolve are the undisputed best gyms in Playa. More amenities at Evolve such as sauna and more cardio equipment but I think World Gym is less crowded and better for people into body building. Both are around the same price point. Thanks for checking out the video my friend ❤️🏝️😎
Not hearing any wind, action 5 is doing good!
Awesome, thanks for the feedback Alfred!
Audio sounds good 👍
Really appreciate the feedback! I was pretty impressed with the windslayer in that heavy wind…when I was editing with the headphones on I almost couldn’t believe it was that effective 😎🏝️❤️

@ great 👍🏻 excited to see rental prices. Thank you for bringing us amazing updates on Playa
How is weather at end of January usually! I come to Playa Carmen in 49 days!
That’s about the best time of year as far as the weather typically! From Late November to mid March is the best imo! Thanks for watching and happy to hear about your upcoming trip 😎🏝️❤️
in Texas for thanksgiving.. miss playa.. ive been living in playa for 3 months and still find myself saying " i cant i believe i live here" but i do need to get more active.. im just a fat american there. heard that steak place is meh. have you been to india jones? ive heard nothing but good things about that place.

@ awesome, thank you
Their* parts 🙄
What's CTM?
Great question! CTM is the street that divides the Centro and Colosio neighborhoods here in Playa Del Carmen.
Lived in Vallarta/Nuevo Vallarta/Bucerias for 27 years. Loved it. But 3 years ago moved to PDC for much easier access to Europe. Direct flights to Frankfurt, Amsterdam, Paris, Madrid, etc. Plus PDC feels much more diverse and youthful than Vallarta. Lots of Germans, Dutch, Spaniards, Russians, Ukrainians, Argentines, etc., many in their 20s, 30s, 40s. AND, people from all over Mexico here.

I did notice that actually when I stopped in! It’s a small area but seems to be sufficient. Thanks for sharing that 💪
all you can find there is drunk tourists and drugged tourist laying on the sidewalks lol
😅😅… there’s definitely a lot of that here! But I would say there’s more to this place than that if you look for it! Volleyball, cenotes, hiking, secret beaches, great food, yoga scene etc. Thanks for watching ❤️🇲🇽🏝️😎
