I have been here.. this place is beautiful and I snorkeled with Willem Dafoe and his lovely family.. altogether there were about 20 of us on the snorkeling trip with 5 of them the Dafoe family. OMG.. was he so nice and such a gentleman. He helped us all off of the boat when we went to our private island lunch.. WE LOVE THIS PLACE..
Hi guys, loving your videos they’ve been so helpful for planning my trip to Quintana Roo in February! Do you have the name of the snorkelling and starfish tour you did?? Thanks
Hello! It's the tour that's sold at Playa Palancar for Playa el Cielo. There is no official name for it, and you have to buy it at the hut on Playa Palancar. Hope that helps!
Do not stay at the Allegro Resort! Do not book a trip to the Allegro where you actually have to stay. Food is worst than terrible. Rooms filled with bugs and bed bugs. Please do not stay here!
Are the fresh fruits and vegetables and the iced drinks safe to eat? We know of Mexican Americans who return to visit family, only to get very ill from something they ate.
While we never have stayed overnight in Cozumel, we would probably recommend staying a couple nights here if you could. It's just so beautiful and there's even more to see here than what we showed. We'd definitely recommend it over playa del carmen!
We felt pretty safe leaving it there as there were TONS of other scooters there. Just make sure you remember which one is yours! We had a little trouble finding ours after and had to review our own footage to figure it out hahaha
I'm going to visit all of the Riviera Maya next month and plan to do a snorkeling tour in Cozumel. Is there an entrance fee to go to Playa Palancar and if so should i pay in advance or can i pay when i arrive? I saw online that the beach club is $20 per person. So if i want to do the snorkel tour it would be $35 + $20?
Hey Juliana y Martin. Love your video!!! We are taking 3 of our grandchildren on a cruise in March. We picked excursions at two of the ports, but not yet Cozumel. All 3 grandchildren are very athletic and love adventure. We will have already knocked out zip lining plus stingray/shark swimming at the prior stops. With their ages of 8 to 13, is there any other “must do’s” for them in Cozumel? As always, ❤️ LOVE ❤️ YOUR CHANNEL
Coffee that tastes like a reeses peanut butter cup! I was more excited about that than anything else! Didn't the water make you sick? Do they use bottled water? I'm going in September.
Trust us, that coffee is worth the trip alone! Still dreaming about it. We didn't get sick from the water, since filtered water is used. Have a great trip!
@Tourist to Local and once you get there you just buy it anytime ? Or they have particular times for trips ? I searched Google maps and it says Dalila Divers but not sure..
My husband and I want to visit Cozumel later this year. Do you think a week there is too long? Should we break up the stay with a few days in Playa? We'd likely visit Playa for a day trip if we stay on the island all week. :)
Considering one day would be spent getting there and one day would be spent going home, a week in Cozumel with a day trip to Playa would probably be perfect! If you get bored, you could also consider doing another day trip to Xcaret. It's easy enough with the ferry nearby :)
Juliana ... are you Brasilian ? Your name is VERY BRASILIAN ! I am from Florida but living in Brasil now Researching Mexico, never been there, do like the Yucatan tho, beaches look like the gulf coast of Florida. Worked on container ships, tankers, car carriers and ROLL ON-ROLL OFF ships for 35 years Seeing some condos for sale in Merida for $25,000 ! Worth checking out ?
I am not Brazilian, but I wish I was! Brazil is one of my favorite countries in the world and I have tons of friends there :) Merida is definitely worth checking out. Video on Merida coming to this channel on May 21! Stay tuned :)
Great video!! I would like to know where you exchange your currency USD/MXN? I hear the rates in the airport are horrible, hoping you can help me out. Also, what's the name of the tattoo shop??? Thanks!!!
We totally love Mexico, and making videos here is always a blast. And of course you can't beat the price! What's interesting in our challenge to see every state in both our countries is that we are also discovering areas of the USA that we never expected to love so much either. Highly recommend you keep watching as we make content in both spots, because we've got some surprises up our sleeves :)
The U.S. State Department has issued a travel warning for Cozumel due to an increase in violent crimes such as homicides, kidnappings, carjackings and robberies.1 Tourists arriving at Cozumel International Airport should be aware that they may be taken to a "Tourist Information" desk where they may be asked to purchase a timeshare.
While this is _technically_ true, it's only a level 2 warning, which is the same you would find if you traveled to the UK, France, Netherlands, Italy or Spain. Just keep your wits about you, like anywhere.
@@BHJ7115 Does someone in Denver need to be concerned if there was kidnapping in the Florida Keys? Because that’s how far apart these spots are in Mexico. Different parts of the country.
Loved your video! We will be here in April on the Celebration. Quick question the excursion on the ship says you must be 8 years old to do the catermaran snorkel tour. I really want to get to this beach with my six year old. Can we book a tour at playa del carmen with him being 6? We are not planning on snorkeling as im not a great swimmer but can we do it and just hang out at the shallow end?
Video coming on the Celebration very soon! It's a great ship! Usually if you do a tour on land, they should be more flexible than if you were to book on the ship. Just explain it to the tour operator and see what they think!

Estefania Mountains
What was the name of the place you used to get on the boat to go snorkeling? Is it better to buy at the beach?
Playa Palancar! You can just buy it at the beach (that's actually the only option)!
@@TouristtoLocal thank you for your reply 🤗
Hi guys, loving your videos they’ve been so helpful for planning my trip to Quintana Roo in February! Do you have the name of the snorkelling and starfish tour you did?? Thanks
Hello! It's the tour that's sold at Playa Palancar for Playa el Cielo. There is no official name for it, and you have to buy it at the hut on Playa Palancar. Hope that helps!
We've been to Cozumel twice and are planning another trip this year.
It's a gorgeous island! Have a great trip!
You should go to Chaankanab, and Natural is amazing, totally worth it
Do not stay at the Allegro Resort! Do not book a trip to the Allegro where you actually have to stay. Food is worst than terrible. Rooms filled with bugs and bed bugs. Please do not stay here!
Appreciate it
nice!
Thank you!!
i go there
now BYEEEEE
You go!!
You guys are so cute! We’ll be CZM tomorrow!!!!!
Thanks so much! Hope you had a great time!
Great video! It looks very pretty, we are going in November through cruise. Where did you buy or book the cielo tour?
Have the best trip! We bought the tour when we arrived to Playa Palancar. There is a hut there that has tour information. You can't miss it :)
Are the fresh fruits and vegetables and the iced drinks safe to eat? We know of Mexican Americans who return to visit family, only to get very ill from something they ate.
We never have had any problems at all!
Bode Walks
So out of all the places you go in the riviera maya would you recommend Cozumel to actually stay at on that side first over say some others?
While we never have stayed overnight in Cozumel, we would probably recommend staying a couple nights here if you could. It's just so beautiful and there's even more to see here than what we showed. We'd definitely recommend it over playa del carmen!
How safe is the rental scooter when it is left at Playa Palancar?
We felt pretty safe leaving it there as there were TONS of other scooters there. Just make sure you remember which one is yours! We had a little trouble finding ours after and had to review our own footage to figure it out hahaha

Hello. Do you thing an early start to Conzumel and then traveling to Chichester Itzá is doable in 1 day?
Google maps shows playa Palancar as permanently closed? True?
We're not sure why that is! When we were there in January it was open.
What a beautiful place! The starfish were awesome, the food looked wonderful. You guys always show us a good time!
Glad you enjoyed coming on this adventure with us! Thanks for watching!

Soooo good!
@@TouristtoLocal I went twice to la
Mexicana after watching your video. Bueno, bonito y baratisimo!
What’s the name of the place or agency where you did the snorkeling?
It's the little hut at Playa Palancar. It's the only tour agency there, so you can't miss it :D You have to get your tickets in person there.
@Tourist to Local and once you get there you just buy it anytime ? Or they have particular times for trips ? I searched Google maps and it says Dalila Divers but not sure..
The Playa Palancar pier was ripped out a few weeks ago and all the coral and fish are gone
That's terrible! Hopefully they rebuilt it!

Did any of the locations have problems with you flying a drone?
None! Thank goodness!
Did you find it hard to move around? Any negative things?
Not hard to move around at all! Can't think of anything negative off the top of our heads :D
@@TouristtoLocal did you witness any violence? Since here in the states they mentioned to not visit Mexico due to the high crime rates.
@@jorgeochoa7450 don't be scared it's just propaganda

I hear Mexico is actually much better than USA. Everything in Mexico is cheaper it's hot and warm everything is much better in Mexico than USA.
We totally love Mexico, and making videos here is always a blast. And of course you can't beat the price!

Are the scooters really that dangerous? Everyone said rent a car but i have a motorcycle and am experienced rider….
Because of the sand of the road, it can be dangerous if you don't have experience. Just be mindful!
Ovo je za posetioce koji dođu i odu na par sati. Treba živeti na ostrvu nekoliko meseci da čovek oseti šta valja.

@blake andrea As far as I'm aware of the US State Department has not issued a travel warning for this region.
One beach, one coffee shop and scooter ? This is what call best keep secrets ? Not really useful sorry 😔
Lovely video, I'm arriving by cruise ship next Sunday and can't wait to hit the scooter!
Have the best time ❤️❤️❤️
I loved the throwbacks in this video, so amazing how far you two have come!
Awww thanks so much! Glad you liked it!

Thank you. This was very helpful as I’m headed there in April!
Glad it was helpful! Have a fantastic trip!
How cold the water feels in the 3rd week of November? Any insight on that?
Bravi👏👏👏
Thank you!!!
Very sad representation of cozumel..
Any recommendations besides what we showed?
