This video is organized in the same way my brain is organized. Thanks for such a helpful video

[@JacksonJetsetting]

Glad it was helpful!

[@scrappymcfiesty]

Great video! We loved the JW Marriott, phenomenal place to stay! I would highly recommend it!

[@JacksonJetsetting]

We agree!

[@Christopherhlee]

I’m saying at the JW Marriott for a couple days this March and am looking forward to it!

[@JacksonJetsetting]

I love that property!

[@shockersteve70]

Great video 👍 My wife and I are going soon, so this was extremely helpful.

[@JacksonJetsetting]

How was the trip?

[@daywithdelta7645]

I booked both the JW and the Ritz (b/c we get a huge discount ion both) but after seeing this, I’m for sure going with the JW.

[@JacksonJetsetting]

Thanks for watching! Glad it helped!

[@jeanpaulfelix4095]

The food was excellent...Italian....Thai...Japanese....and the best restauarants in Cancun across the street.

[@JacksonJetsetting]

I liked it!

The stretch of beach is the greatest stretch of beach on the planet.

Yep!

Thank you very much for your videos

[@JacksonJetsetting]

You are very welcome

[@jdub6371]

Well done sir!

[@JacksonJetsetting]

Thank you!

[@TravelChefBari]

Great review comparisons - thank you 🙏 Would happened to know the average price for breakfast, lunch and dinner?

[@JacksonJetsetting]

I would expect about $10 a plate (ish) but scaling up at the ritz-carlton. menus are available on the hotel websites as well!

[@theinspector7882]

...and listen to the song "Un Lugar Como Cancún"

[@JacksonJetsetting]

thanks

[@enforcer28331]

Curious - what was it about the JW breakfast for Platinums that you didn't like? And was it buffet-style or off menu? Also Platinum here and looking at this one, also.

[@JacksonJetsetting]

It was very very continental. Boxed (not fresh) juice, yogurt, fruit plate, bread served at table when we visited (may change during your visit due to higher occupancy now). No ability to upgrade to a better breakfast or use it towards something on the menu. Wasn’t super user friendly- the Marriott next door had the ability to upgrade to the full buffet which I very much appreciated!

[@enforcer28331]

@@JacksonJetsetting oh wow thanks. We always pay extra for the buffet option. Sucks there wasn't even an option. Hate when it's just continental. Especially at a JW and especially in Mexico. Not like it's a business hotel where you eat on the go. Thanks for the heads up!

[@blackhole7369]

Ritz-Carlton is the best

[@jeanpaulfelix4095]

JW is just as good at half the price. I have stayed at both.

[@JacksonJetsetting]

Agreed

[@ga20904]

Can guest at one Marriott visit the Ritz and the other Marriott and enjoy their beach and facilities. I know the RIU hotels allows visits with a wrist band.

[@JacksonJetsetting]

No, guests can’t use the facilities but can use the restaurants!

[@ga20904]

@@JacksonJetsetting thank you

[@chuckytm]

So im booked at the Ritz for my upcoming trip. But looking at this is appears i may benefit by changing to the JW and save some money. But i wont have all the nicer things that the Ritz has etc.

[@JacksonJetsetting]

I think the JW represents a better overall value than the Ritz.

[@chuckytm]

@@JacksonJetsetting price of 2000 for 3 nights Ritz. 871 3 nights for the JW. Thats using promo code. I think they running 1500 per night at the ritz now. 409 per night at the JW without the promo. Both have 2 free covid test. Ill call tonight and compare.

[@JacksonJetsetting]

@@chuckytm It wasn't open when I was there, but the Club 91 rooms at the JW might be a good compromise- many food offerings for free during the day and nightly happy hour. Worth considering!

[@NA-cs5ru]

Thanks for posting! Can you do which Hyatt is the best in Cancun?

[@JacksonJetsetting]

We LOVED the Zilara, but if you have kids, the Ziva has a lot more activities (and allows kids). Further south, our favorite hotel in all of Mexico is the Grand Hyatt Playa del Carmen. I have a video tour up on my channel of the Zilara and the Grand Hyatt if you wanna check it out!

[@NA-cs5ru]

@@JacksonJetsetting no kids, looking for an all inclusive experience so we’re looking into Ziva and Zilara. Ziva felt more like a resort and has more restaurant options so I’m leaning that direction but would love any feedback related to Ziva rooms/pools/food quality.

[@robertleeds5]

Zillaria for Adults only, Ziva for families. But the Ziva is WAY nicer and better, due to its location, beach, and snorkeling. there is also a adults-only private section at ziva. I reccomend

[@JacksonJetsetting]

@@robertleeds5 we liked the Ziva too but found the Zilara to be our favorite- the food was much better during our two visits than the Ziva!

[@NA-cs5ru]

@@robertleeds5 right on point, we got a room at the turquoise tower (adults only) which also included a hot tub, spa access, infinity pool access, and it was beautiful! Food was great, entertainment was more family oriented but was still fun. The location being on two sides is so nice and the beaches were great. Can’t wait to try Zilara and the new Ziva Riviera Maya!

[@Arttiparti]

Sound like JW is the way to go

[@JacksonJetsetting]

Love it!

[@ctc7791]

Do either of these hotels have transportation or shuttle services?

[@JacksonJetsetting]

You can arrange transport with all of the hotels, but doing so on your own will be dramatically cheaper!

[@HelloKitty2391]

Hey so the food is not included? I'm trying to find an all inclusive resort.

[@JacksonJetsetting]

No, but they do have all-inclusive rates. Check out my video of the Hyatt Zilara!

[@HelloKitty2391]

@@JacksonJetsetting ok thank you

[@leruemartin9377]

where did you get those green bags? I’m going in June 2021. What should I pack?

[@JacksonJetsetting]

Those came from the park itself!

[@andreww9202]

Are Marriott and JW guests allowed to use each other’s pools and restaurants?

[@JacksonJetsetting]

Unfortunately, not.

[@spencerhpaul]

My understanding when i stayed at the JW was that JW could use the Marriott pool but not vice versa (although not really a reason to). Then for restaurants, it's one big complex so anyone can eat at any restaurant/

[@Eben18]

Can you visit the the JW if staying at the Marriott and use their amenities?

[@JacksonJetsetting]

You can visit but you can't use the pool.

[@nschakri]

staying at the marriott during xmas for 6 days. I cannot find an option for all-inclusive? Any idea of the cost for a family of 4 for 6 days? The hotel has not been very resposive.

[@JacksonJetsetting]

Costs can vary based on dates- have you looked on the Marriott website?

[@wraywidner2307]

Can you use both Hotel pools like you can use both hotel restaurants at JW Marriott and the Marriott resort

[@JacksonJetsetting]

Thanks!

[@elite4681]

Thanks did you do the all inclusive option?

[@JacksonJetsetting]

No, I prefer to pay out of pocket for meals since I get free breakfast

[@Divya0105]

There are lot of restaurants inside many resort, can we book restaurant in any of them?

[@JacksonJetsetting]

Yes!

[@sharkparty1027]

Which has the better sushi/sushi selection?

[@JacksonJetsetting]

Ritz

[@sharkparty1027]

@@JacksonJetsetting thank you. That's the one my research has shown too! I'll likely be booking there for the all inclusive sushi!

[@JacksonJetsetting]

@@sharkparty1027 Be sure you purchase an all-inclusive rate, these resorts are not all-inclusive to begin with.

I have not

[@francois-mariearouet2873]

Fixed in later vids :)

[@lucasstames5940]

Will they let marriot guest enjoy the pool at the J.W.

[@JacksonJetsetting]

No- and we tried to during our stay!

[@thatguywiththoseglasses5355]

Was there an all inclusive option, drinks and food?

[@JacksonJetsetting]

At the JW and Marriott there are. Not at the Ritz

[@MohamedAli5]

Is the JW all inclusive or do you have to pay for all food and drinks?

[@JacksonJetsetting]

Pay for food and drinks

[@MohamedAli5]

@@JacksonJetsetting do you recommend the restaurants they had on the property or was it mid food?

[@jibbo123]

Does booking a room at this resort give you all inclusive status?

[@JacksonJetsetting]

None of these are officially all inclusive but sometimes they do offer all-inclusive rates!

[@jeanpaul4100]

I have stayed at all 3. marriott is best value. jw is best hotel...Ritz carton is no better than jw and a lot more.

[@JacksonJetsetting]

I think the JW's pool edges out Marriott, but when I stayed, the points rates were very similar for the two!

[@jeanpaul4100]

@@JacksonJetsetting actually both pools are dated but who really cares...the locations are second to none.

[@leruemartin9377]

I got the Club 91 at JW, what the perks of it?

[@robertleeds5]

So you get access to as much food as you want at Club 91; it is basically club level. That means you get free access to a private Club level lounge ( Which is Club 91) with the price you paid for your room :)

[@JacksonJetsetting]

It's great!
