What to eat in the Riviera Maya, Mexico - Part 1? Yucatan Peninsula foods you need to try!
The Mayan Riviera and the state of Quintana Roo are world famous for their beautiful sand beaches, great weather, and blue waters. But it is a relatively new area of Mexico - even the big tourist cities like Cancun and Playa del Carmen really only started being developed in the 1970s. Add on the fact that the tourist zones have restaurants featuring cuisines from across Mexico and the entire world. It can be difficult to know what foods are local to the area and which you need to make sure you try while you are in the Riviera Maya. In this video, I'd going to show a few of my favorites: cochinita pibil, poc chuc, sopa de lima, tamal brazo de reina, and xtabentún. These are Yucatan dishes that originate from the state of Yucatan but you can find them all over the Yucatan Peninsula if you know what to look for.
But there are more! Make sure to check out part two of my video on Riviera Maya foods where I show you some of the amazing fast foods and street foods that are out there.
Part 2: ****Coming Soon****

Niagara Falls, Canada travel vlog Part 2 - Tourist traps, ghosts, zombies, and more waterfalls
Переглядів 32610 місяців тому
My first two days in Niagara Falls were amazing - I got to dive right into the wild tourist areas, golf with some dinosaurs, ride a rooftop roller coaster with Frankenstein's monster, see nightly fireworks shows, win some tiny prizes at a midway, see the amazing waterfalls, and even take a boat trip right into the waterfall's splash zone! It's been a few years since I've been back to Canada but...

How much?
Is beauful Country.
Thank you for your videos and really enjoyed your Barcelo video. We are now in love with this area of Mexico and the huge Barcelo Resort
That was perfect thanks for making this, we know exactly what to expect!
There iis no update, now you can take the tram to the tourist area, even for free(there is no charge on the tram train or bus in Luxenburg; and most people speak now Lëtzeburgisch
Honest review! I really appreciate this!
Where is the luxemburg written im that big board?? @
Congrats for the videos... it was the best that I watched here...
Music is way too LOUD in this theater!!!! Operators must have had their ear drums blown out. And also distorted.
Very nice, thank you 😊
We have been to the Palace several times. It really does depend on which hotel you stay in. The Palace is much quieter as it costs more to stay there. The other hotels are a little cheaper and you tend to get a more party crowd. They have a new, All Adults hotel now too. Great review.
We are stopping in IAD in business class for a 5 hr la😮yover b4 continuing to Spain. Would a local friend from Reston be able to stop and visit for a short time, be able to get in? If not where would be another option to meet someone?
You would have to exit security and meet them in the pre-security area of the airport. Unfortunately IAD doesn't have much out there except some benches to sit on and a cafe or two. Almost all of the airport is past security.
Aweful Arthur’s best seafood!
How much it cost?
Can you sleep in there?
I didn't see any sleeping areas in there.
I booked four crown tickets for May this year. Do they send you the tickets or do you pick them up at Castle Clinton?
One time we picked them up at the Castle, the other time they sent them digitally to us.
Having to use the restrooms a lot, I prefer the aisle.
Thank you for this video. I should fly with them in a couple of months. If any problems shall arise I will happily use this.
So Sad, They Are Charging Even For Water. Should Be Free Snacks and Drinks. Our Group Didn’t like it.
how did you book restaurants? is it an app or a desk?
But where do you actually go to physically trade this? Are there banks that trade currency?
I would recommend at least £15-20/$15-20 /E10-20 MINIMUM! Bear in mind the guides are self employed, liable for tax and national insurance AND they have to pay the companies a marketing fee per person. If you pay very little you may wish to reflect on what the minimum wage is per hour in the country you live in? If its at least $10 an hour, which it probably will be ..then you shouldn't be offering $5-$10 for a two and a half hour walking tour! ?? Which, once the guide has paid their marketing fee, tax and insurance probably means they are losing money!!! ? All for your "free" tour..Be responsible, ( provided the tour is good obviously, ) and treat your guide accordingly...
I want to know how to turn in foreign currency to U.S. dollars.
Very picturesque & quaint.
A small city perhaps but a lively one.
Love your Barcelo videos and enjoying this video as well. Wish we were their to say hello.
Good day~ bravo- really super view. farewell,:))
Is there any online websites to get foreign currency from? I am just collecting
I am not sure since I just get mine from trips I've been on. Maybe try an online coin store?
Fabukous
I buy food and bring it on with me lol so many people complain about getting a cheap snack, and something to drink. 😂
Very informative. Thank you! How long did it take you to do the whole trip?
The entire trip took us around 9 hours in total.
Can you book ala carte ahead of your vacation?
When I was there you couldn't book before you arrived. But you can book them as soon as you check in.
The first time this happened, shame on them. The second time this happened, shame on you. SPIRIT airlines don't care about the costumer, the only thing they care about is money. They changed gates at the airport, and when we reached to the second gate , it was closed. There was this mother with a baby. she begged the company to get her a fly that day; and simply they did not do it. we had to wait 2 more days in Florida get a fly to Northeast, and spend extra money in hotel, meals, and transportation.They won't spend a dime in a passenger. It was outrageous. A cheap flight becomes expensive with SPIRIT Airlines. I called the 866 # to complain, I was transfer to Kenia, the ladies over there simple did not do anything. She doesn't live in this this part of the world where Spirit airlines operates.
Spirit is great for college students and those of a lower income, and those that just want to go from point a to b and do not care about amenities. As long as you expect that all your getting with that cheap fare is a randomly selected seat and a personal item, and you are willing to accept that, there is no shame in flying spirit. Also they are rolling out better more comfortable seats a lot quicker than the rate at which frontier airlines is currently doing. So your 3 hour or longer bare fare flight in spirit will be bearable and comfortable.
Best tour videos I have ever seen. Great job!
Great ingo..👍
I was lucky enough to pass by golden lady and grand villa in Luxembourg 🇱🇺 couple weeks ago. I have seen many churches in Europe so I kind of church out.
We are headed there next month. 😊 Are you able to share the restaurant names with the fresh local seafood? Thanks!
The one we went to that was right by the water and had a lot of local seafood options was Basnight's Lone Cedar Cafe.
which one do you recommend ? need some feedback
What type of group are you traveling with? My recommendation depends on if you have kids, have people who have trouble walking, like sand or snorkelling, etc. Each of the hotels is a little different, but it really depends on what you like.
Is the restaurant Tokyo and tratoria extr cost ?
No, anyone at the resort can dine at them for free depending on how many a-la-carte meals they get.
Crabmeat heaven !!
great video, thanks.
Delicious seafood 🦞
I like lobster
This is the first video that contains what i was looking for in knowing if i could eat, swim, etc. in other buildings. Perfect review. Thank you so much for the very useful info!
I'm glad you liked it!
Yum ❤
Oh wow, thank you seriously so much!! Haha I was like how do people do it and secretly was having solo travel anxiety/fear. It’s mainly exchanging it and in the certain amount we’re exchanging (wow, thank you so much). As well as the helpful banking and credit’ info, it’s genuinely appreciated.
Should one use bottled water to brush their teeth?
I think the resort has a water filtration system but most people I talked to avoided drinking the tap water.
Friends of mine worked concierge and bars.
This was such a great and super informative video! We'll be at Barcelo Maya this summer!!
