Thank you for sharing I've been to this place twice and now going for my third trip back to the occidental xcaret. Chichenitsa is huge and spectacular a must see. Thank you for sharing with others that have no idea what's out their great filming.
Thanks. Next time I'm bringing the DSLR. I can't wait to go back. Almost went to chitzenitza but it was a long commute and they have everything roped off so not sure I would have liked it as much....but I may go next time. This resort is great.
It’s without a doubt the most beautiful place I’ve ever been
Very kind and authentic video❤
Thank you and hope your burns heal and you are OK!!
Thanks. I healed. It was bad. 3rd day there it was hard to get out of bed since the muscles in my legs felt like they were on fire. I didn't know that muscles can get attacked with severe burns. Last day my ankles were very swollen. After a full day back at home I was much better.
@@ROTTERtube Wow, even to the muscle!! Good thing it is healing :)
Thank you
Love this video ❤
Thanks. I really loved it there. Can't wait to go back.
Great vlog, nice to share cultures and experiences.
Chichenitza would've blown your mind away. So beautiful out there. It's a must.
I'm sure. Next time I'll go. No one wanted to go with me and it was a really long drive. Also, I wish they would allow you to climb the pyramid, but you can't. Next time I'll go.
Ugh looks so beautiful, so exited to go
I miss it. I want to go back.
Now you have a taste of life in Panama :)
Thanks for the video, super helpful!! I was wondering how many walking trails there are, and are they super short or a normal walk? Are they long enough for us to take little ones 4 & 6 years old on an "adventure" or should we plan to go elsewhere (off property) for a better hike?
Unfortunately I didn't spend too much time adventuring. There is a main path from the beautiful large lobby that is along a bridge to a road. It's the main strip - you'll see it. The lobby overlooks it. It's a long walking road. There are a few little trails with some small ruins off this path, which leads you to their beach. At the end of the bridge that connects to the road....you'll see it in my video, there is a trail that goes into the jungle. The sign says enter at your own risk. It wasn't dangerous. I loved it. I did not spend too much time down there since we had dinner reservations. It was really peaceful and nice. It has stone large walkways. There may be more but I didn't check out that much.
Was that beach at 9:30 in the same resort? It looks like you drove some ways to get to that beach in playa del Carmen
No, that was at Playa del Carmen. Drove about an hour? To get there. It was fun. Great shops, street vendors, massive beach.
What type of room did you book? Looking to book this week but trying to get an idea which is best, yours had a great view!
It had 2 queen beds. Deluxe? It was the top floor. Make sure you ask for a room with a view of the Sea, top floor. We didn't ask; we just got lucky. Have fun! I can't wait to go back there.
@@ROTTERtube OK perfect, thank you for your video we just booked tonight. We got the deluxe concierge room! Once again thank you!
Hi..is it better to get tickets to Xcarte before arrival or once you arrive?
You can do it either way. Go to the front desk at the hotel. I think we saved a little by doing it when booking the trip.
What transportation did yoy use to ger to the Resort and back to the airport?
We used MTS. Booked them when I booked via Expedia. I read SO MANY BAD REVIEWS about them after I booked. Stories of people being stranded and having to take a cab but we had the exact opposite experience. They were GREAT. I would use them again.
What is MTS?@@ROTTERtube
What month did u visit
Do they still offer packages to Xcaret park ?
yes
Love your video, Thank you & love it here! Been 3 times to this resort with the family from the UK (last time in May 2023). Hopefully will visit again in a few years - it is very beautiful and there is so much to do in the area - You have a great camera as everything is very clear. Here’s our trip: ua-cam.com/video/m-P2-q-_CDo/v-deo.htmlsi=kBXRCYBzUl7rrPOZ
Yes, I love this place! I just used my iPhone....haha. I kept the pro cameras at home.
How was getting there from the airport?
very easy. no issues. there are also MANY cabs HOPING you'll use them right when you get out of the airport. A crowd of cabbies just waiting for you to exit the airport if you don't have a cab.
@@ROTTERtube did you fly to playa de Carmen’s airport or cancuns
Very easy 45 min trip on a air-condition bus
