My trip to Barcelo Maya Palace Resort - Cancun 2022

[@willymags123]

My brother got married in Cancun God rest his soul. I know it must not have been the same not having Elizabeth there but at least she gets to see this video and get a feel as if she was there. Keeping you all my prayers. Till next time, God bless.

[@imahick5723]

So glad that you got to go Bill! You work really hard not just on Thrive Life but also on the flip house! I hope that Elizabeth is healing and will be able to go on the next trip!

[@KathyHollister]

I know Elizabeth will be enjoying seeing you on these videos. Elizabeth, praying for a quick and full recovery for you.

[@Tpollos]

This looks like a lovely place to relax after all that spackling you did. 😁 Really miss Elizabeth, and we are praying she is getting better every day. You're awesome Bill, but Elizabeth just adds that special sunshine, and I bet you do really miss her while you're there. Cheers!

[@sixpackbinky]

Cancun is gorgeous, thanks for sharing your adventure. Prayers for you and Elizabeth. Enjoy your trip.

[@bonniekaye]

Beautiful resort! Hoping Elizabeth gets better soon🙏🏻❤

[@faithhope2212]

[@galemartin3277]

Absolutely breathtaking! Sure missed Elizabeth's smiling face. 😃

[@sharyn4271]

Wow, what a gorgeous resort! Look forward to your returning with Elizabeth so she can enjoy those spectacular pools. ❤ Oh, and your eggs looked delicious. Perfectly cooked. 😊

[@raed3063]

What a gorgeous place to visit. The hotel area is like a small village. I would be sure to get to the beach for the sunrises each day. That’s the best part of my day. Thanks for sharing.

[@crazycritterlady8788]

It's just beautiful! I'm so sorry that Elizabeth wasn't able to join you. Knowing you youve brought her some goodies from there and plenty of videos. As I watched with the music selection you provided I almost felt as if I were there with you. Thank you for sharing your Vaca. And sending prayers 🙏 that Elizabeth recovers soon and feels better.

[@bl8680]

Thank you for showing us these places I may not otherwise be able to see in person. Praying for a safe return home to your beautiful bride Elizabeth. Praying for her full recovery. Theres no place like home as humble as it may be 😊

[@pamhutzell8268]

Wow that was great! Elizabeth hope you get better soon.

[@claireburkus8497]

I must have missed this post….my Son and family just boarded their cruise to Cancun from Texas today….makes me so happy to see this video and become excited for their adventure!!!! So glad you had such a wonderful time with friends!!!❤

[@PuthieLeTarte]

That is quite some outstanding resort! I hope Elizabeth begins to feel the blessings of the Lord mending and comforting her. I know she is missing her Bill

[@elizabethreid9448]

Thank you So much for sharing. I needed a " vacation break". Much love to you and Elizabeth

[@Nikkipicky]

Beautiful thanks for taking us along💞

[@Helene2367]

So beautiful there Bill. Thanks for showing us around. loved it

[@judysebold1436]

Absolutely gorgeous, Congratulations enjoy your trip

[@carolday6192]

Great video I know you missed Elizabeth but was able to share with her and the rest of us experience with the magic of KZbin looked great

[@patjones5723]

Looks BEAUTIFUL.. you did a fantastic job on this video. GREAT editing 👌 👏 ❤

[@almafriesen-se5qn]

That is such a beautiful sapphire blue water. Just amazing. Glad you could enjoy it.

[@VBYCHOICE]

Fantastic. Elizabeth is very happy for you! I just know it!

[@fields-n-feathers]

Bill, it was amazing and I'm so thankful you shared clips with us. Miss Elizabeth, I pray you can make his trip perfect next year by being there. I love you both very much.🧡🧡

[@cuddlesanddaisy]

The view from the balcony🤗💖

[@janicenichols7271]

I stayed at this resort in 2012...we were at the Maya Beach...we were able to access all of the 5 resorts and I remember Palace being the most posh...the beaches were amazing and the nightly entertainment was the best...loved, loved this resort and really want to go back someday...the food was also top notch...felt safe and the staff were so pleasant...too bad Elizabeth didn't make it...glad you enjoyed your trip...I did the same as you Bill, up early and walking and exploring all the different resorts...The birds were amazing and the gardens were immaculate.

[@whoathatsanicememe3093]

As I'm watching this it's currently 29° outside.. little bit jealous lol It's too bad Elizabeth didn't get to come this time but there's always next year... and a testament to your marriage that she wanted for you to go regardless. God bless you both.

[@yvonneevie5926]

wow that looked alovely ralaxing time you had in cancun bill... well deserved 😄

[@darlinda9566]

i think i would prefer all-inclusive because i stress about tipping/not tipping, too much/too little of a tip. a lap pool that actually has open lanes, that is paradise. beautiful images.

[@barbrabrurrier7548]

Thank you for sharing all the beauty for some of us may never make it there. So lovely

[@G.DD3SS]

Absolutely beautiful! I've never had a desire to travel to Mexico until I saw your video of this resort. It looks amazing. Will be saving up for a trip there.

[@LiveSimpleLiveFree]

I've been to the resorts south of Cancun twice, and I love it.

[@judysebold1436]

Thank you for sharing this trip with me, I was just thinking, as beautiful as this is, can you imagine how beautiful Heaven will be, even more beautiful than this, praise the lord Jesus

[@bushpushersdaughter]

I think they limited you to five days because anymore beauty and luxury would spoil you for life! Praying always for Elizabeth's recovery.

[@DreamerSeerFaithBeliever]

Love this whole video, Bill, but what was that beautiful guitar music that started at 12:20? It went so perfectly with the evening scenery. Is there a link where we can listen to more? Thank you so much for sharing your trip with us. Congratulations for Thriving! 👍❤️🙏

[@LiveSimpleLiveFree]

All of the music that I use in my videos is royalty-free music that is provided by KZbin in the creators studio.

[@spoly8139]

I think the beautiful guitar music on this video was: "Laid Back Guitars" by Kevin MacLeod. Here is the KZbin link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aWq5qppnbqqoraM

[@lidiyademko2552]

Thank you for video I'm planning to go there this year.

[@LiveSimpleLiveFree]

😎🌴

[@norwegianvikinggranny1004]

Enjoyed the tour, thanks

[@dianna2911]

What a wonderful resort! I'm glad that you were still able to go and enjoy the trip. As you say, hopefully Elizabeth will be able to go with you next time. 😊❤

[@carolwickenheiser5081]

thank you for the great descriptive video tour!

[@laceybanter5937]

I am unable to walk due to copd. I went to cancun with one change of planes. The airline escort wheeled me right through. It was so easy. Elizabeth should try it. The resort also accommoded me.

[@EMBERS-BECAME-BRIGHT-JOY]

I love that deep balcony 😍

[@sparkygrl8557]

Really enjoyed this!

[@Tarasyoutube]

Lol they need to sponsor your video, now all of us want to go. Was wishing Elisabeth could be there, even to relax in a pool and for the food!/sunrises🌅☀️

[@MUFCXI]

Heading here for one week at the end of July. Wife, kids and I can’t wait.

[@LiveSimpleLiveFree]

You will enjoy it!

[@rickgonzalez1218]

Deb here. What a lovely resort. Glad you had a good time. Haven't been to Cancun since 1986. Bet it has changed. Is the pool chlorinated with the dolphins?

[@LiveSimpleLiveFree]

I assume the dolphin pool is salt water, but I don’t know.

[@r.g8649]

Very nice room beautiful scenery and resort 👍🏽I feel bad 😢Elizabeth could not be with you to enjoy 😊🏝I pray 🙏🏽 she will feel better ❤️‍🩹 soon .

[@Randy8923]

Enjoyed. its so beautiful there. Sorry Elizabeth couldnt go. Continued prayers.

[@cookingwithconniemorewohlf4538]

Beautiful! Thanks for sharing.

[@wendyburston3132]

Awesome video. Almost as good as being there. Thank you thank you thank you!

[@debrareed2378]

Good video.Thank You

[@pennynewell3459]

Just loving. Sorry Elizabeth missed it.

[@Queenb-qq5le]

Amazing vid & resort! 🎉

[@spoly8139]

Thanks so much for taking us along on this beautiful trip. That hotel looks really fabulous. I hope you try the snorkeling in the beautiful Caribbean. Don't forget to bring a magnet or mug home for Elizabeth's collection! This is a well deserved mini vacation after all that plastering!!

[@vanonid]

This was a fantastic video of the resort. Based on the crowds, low crowds, what week did you go? Thanks.

[@LiveSimpleLiveFree]

I was just there last week - second week in November. But the low crowds that you see happened mostly because I film early in the morning while most people are still in bed. It wasn’t that empty later in the day.

[@Sup1719]

I like smaller, more snug places. I like kids, but wherever you went I heard a crying yelling child. No thanks! The pools were amazing for sure. Great experience.

[@carolanncurrid8246]

Those pools are amazing!

[@LiveSimpleLiveFree]

😎

[@Koolala75]

This resort should sponsor you because you made an excellent commercial for it

[@cookingwithconniemorewohlf4538]

I'm a bit surprised to see so few people around, especially in those amazing pools.

[@LiveSimpleLiveFree]

I'm an early morning person. Most of my video was shot in the morning when there weren't many people up yet! LOL Later in the day, and into the evening, the pools become party central. Though it wasn't rowdy, it was MUCH busier.

[@cookingwithconniemorewohlf4538]

I also noticed that in the afternoon, when you first arrived.

[@linnsoltwedel]

I wonder what their water and heating for the pool looks like :P

[@vivaldi1236]

Since Elizabeth was ill and could not go, did you consider taking your grandson, (the one that helped with the flip house)?

[@LiveSimpleLiveFree]

Yes, we actually tried. But he didn’t have a passport, and it now takes a RIDICULOUSLY long time to get one! He couldn’t get it in time.

[@passingthroughtime3033]

I have been there many times. Always beautiful resorts and beaches, always perfect weather. Never anything to complain about. Don't you go swimming?

[@LiveSimpleLiveFree]

No, I don't swim much (unless I'm snorkeling).

[@jjjpetersen]

I’ve heard the pools are cold. We’re going there in a couple months.

[@LiveSimpleLiveFree]

I don't DO cold pools, and I swam several times. They were wonderful!

[@jjjpetersen]

@@LiveSimpleLiveFree that’s good to hear, thx.

[@KM00Youtube]

Nice video, Elizabeth would have LOVED the pools! The resort looks very relaxing, maybe we'll give it a try. 😎🥰

[@patriciahand9305]

Wow just beautiful. Elizabeth would have loved it. Next time.

[@SuperHurdman]

Hi Bill Here in Canada as I understand it were not permitted to travel on planes trains bus ect without the vax. To your knowledge what is the requirements down their in the USA?

[@LiveSimpleLiveFree]

No such requirement. Millions of Americans have refused the vax. And the vax is not required for re-entry into the USA after traveling abroad. It’s not required for travel to/from Mexico

[@Grimes60]

Pretty darn nice, wow

[@cumberlandquiltchic1]

That had to be difficult that your wife couldn’t join you. Do you travel often without her? I just found yalls channel about the house, didn’t know the traveling aspect of the videos.

[@LiveSimpleLiveFree]

Yes, we travel a lot together -at least 3 times per year with Thrive Life. We have a “Travel” playlist.

[@cumberlandquiltchic1]

I looked it up and many people complain about not getting their free shipping over $100 order. Have they straightened that out yet?

[@deborahcaldwell9775]

Sweet explanation of the missing Elizabeth.

[@ljjackson7106]

I forgot about the trip! Kept checking new uploads and was wondering! 🙏 That Barcelo Maya Palace Resort is LOVELY! Cancun is too crowded these days so I was glad when you said about an hour's drive. Funny on that shower! So glad you made the trip! Wow Bill! You'd never eaten LAMB before? (My husband and I love it so much we eat it at least once a week! - Glad you enjoyed it! You can find nice chops in Walmart every now and then!)

[@cherylbrown4058]

That was fun!

[@curtissorg4687]

You be blessed also bill

[@juliamorones8893]

Hello! PRAISE THE LORD! What a beautiful resort. I love dolphins,they're so Intelligent. I missed the mrs.too. Jesus loves you both so very much. God bless you and all your endeavours.

[@jen2666]

I enjoyed your video Myself my husband and my son , plus another couple and their son will be going this resort . I saw the room tour. The room location looked great. Would you please be able to tell me the room number so I could request it?

[@LiveSimpleLiveFree]

Sorry, that was several months ago and I don’t remember.

[@nancymcsweeney1920]

Go on Bill! Just soak your toes in the water!

[@rayreyes8497]

Awesome place. My wife and I got married there.

[@LiveSimpleLiveFree]

Cool!

[@linnsoltwedel]

Very nice place! :)

[@sylvaindastous9822]

It's really old, maybe the adult, almost new that I want to try

[@simplycountry2762]

What I don't understand is if your wife is Ill, wouldn't she come first? I'd cancel my trip if my husband was sick.

[@LiveSimpleLiveFree]

I was going to cancel. But She absolutely INSISTED that I go without her. It made her upset to think that I would miss the trip because she was ill.

[@deborahcaldwell9775]

I think you have become a video artist

[@LiveSimpleLiveFree]

Well thank you! 😎

[@simplycountry2762]

I have watched Shannon Watts videos. She was so highly addictive to that Thrive stuff and went on every free vacation. Thrive also got her in debt..

[@LiveSimpleLiveFree]

Are you sure you're talking about THRIVE LIFE? First, you have to be a leading consultant to be able to earn one of their trips. I personally know all of the leading consultants. I've been on the trip every year for the past 6 years, and I've never heard of Shannon Watts. And "highly addicted?" Thrive Life is not addictive - it's just groceries! Also, I don't know how someone could "get into debt" with Thrive Life. It doesn't cost anything to be a consultant, except the $100 consutlant starter kit and a minimum $50/month personal order! Consultants do not have to stock up on inventory. All sales are shipped directly from the company to the customer.

[@Cindy-ou4gd]

The one Shannon Watts was doing is “Thrive by Le-Vel.” This “Thrive” is totally different.

[@LiveSimpleLiveFree]

Yes, apparently Thrive by Le-vel is a weight loss patch? I don’t know much about it. My company, Thrive Life, is a provider of premium freeze dried groceries.

[@brendainny]

Beautiful

[@JoyinFlorida]

That's funny.... a window seat without a window, I'd take that every time because I NEVER look out!🤢😁

[@LiveSimpleLiveFree]

But then you miss all the beauty!

Cancun. What a beautiful resort!🌴🏖️ 🌴 🐬 My Mom n step dad went there some 20 years ago, he has since passed away. Your friends from Thrive were charming. If I had to choose, I would have ordered the rack of lamb 🐑 (hv made with spicy mint marmalade and rosemary potatoes). Loved the guitarist, what talent! I'm sure you had a blast with all the amenities n beautiful sights 🌞

see our Yeshua prepared your trip for your wife Elizabeth to be with you. The bathroom set up proves it

[@TruthSeekerRachel74]

Elizabeth is such a sweet heart ❤️ you're very kind too. You both make me smile and give me hope. I really wish I had a stable loving relationship like the two of you. I know it took years of work and that is a great accomplishment. I want to say that I appreciate the two of you and how you have shared your relationship secrets throughout the years. I've caught some of those videos.. I want to be blessed soon with wonder people in my life, soul mates that I'm supposed to be close to... ❤️ You both so much! Thank you!

[@TruthSeekerRachel74]

Also sending prayers to Elizabeth even though I know she is feeling much better now. I just adore her ❤️

[@simplycountry2762]

That thrive is so expensive. And the thrive products I read about, it sounds to me it ain't very good for you.

[@LiveSimpleLiveFree]

There are many ways to preserve food, and freeze drying is THE healthiest way! Here is an independent study (not from Thrive Life) that shows that freeze drying food is top technique for retaining nutrients. www.foodnavigator-usa.com/Article/2016/11/14/Freeze-drying-fruit-is-top-technique-for-retaining-nutrients-Study?OnSite& Thrive Life freeze dried food is actually healthier and more nutrient dense than that beautiful looking "fresh" produce that you can get at the grocery store! Here's MY video about the nutrition of Thrive Life. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gGe3qn-PjrOpkK8 And Thrive Life food is actually CHEAPER than the grocery store! Comparing the cost of Thrive Life straight across to grocery store prices will almost always SEEM like Thrive costs more. BUT, there is one major component to the formulae that almost everyone misses. It's spoilage. Waste. According to a Harvard study, the average family throws away 25-40% of the food that they purchase, due to spoilage. Either it spoils in the fridge before they can use it, or they cook too much and then throw away the leftovers 2 weeks later. THE MOST EXPENSIVE FOOD YOU CAN BUY IS THE FOOD THAT YOU THROW AWAY! And Thrive Life completely eliminates waste! So you need to realize that you must ADD at least 25% to the cost of grocery store food if you want to compare it to the cost of Thrive! Since you will throw away 25% of grocery store food, you have to buy 25% MORE. This makes the cost of Thrive comparable or even CHEAPER than the grocery store. Then, add in the extra convenience and the better nutritional content of Thrive food, and it becomes a no-brainer. Why doesn't everyone buy Thrive?! LOL Most people look at the cost of individual servings in order to compare prices. And like I said, this ignores the spoilage issue. The better way to compare cost is to look at the amount that you spend on groceries on a MONTHLY basis. People who track their monthly grocery budget over a period of months are all reporting that they are saving money every month using Thrive. This is because they don't have to buy as much food because they are not throwing away any food due to spoilage. There was a study done a few years ago at the Univ of Utah. They studied 156 families of four. They found that any family of four that used Thrive Life in at least 50% of their daily cooking saved, on average, $150 per month!
