@where we going next how much was the security deposit i tried calling resort but no help lol

[@WherewegoingNext]

@@cece826 When we checked in, we didn't have to pay a security deposit. We did have to pay an environmental tax - new to Cancun. I believe it was very minimal - $10USD per room. At first they said it was 220, and we thought that was dollars!!!! thankfully, they clarified it was 220 pesos

Hey thanks so much for your videos! Me and a couple friends are planning on going to Cancun this summer but have no idea which one to go to. What are your best recommendations? For a young crowd, best food, pools, drinks?

[@WherewegoingNext]

If you stay at this hotel you’ll be like a 10 min bus ride from the downtown. Definitely recommend checking out the nightlife of downtown Cancun. Honestly the best food is everywhere on resort, it’s all great!! All the pools are excellent, and serve drinks all around. Depends what you like, there’s lots of draft beer, mixed drinks, and wines. So much to keep anyone content.

[@pam1372]

Loved the Video and which Airport is the nearest. How did you get into the Kulinarium, i thought that was for the Adults only section. Do you have to queue up or can you make reservations to go to the Restaurants. This is one main draw back with the Rui. Looking to Holiday next year.

[@WherewegoingNext]

You would fly into Cancun's international airport. We just walked up to the Kulinarium and they let us in. It may have been because they were slow that night and had a table for us 4 adults. You don't make reservation for the restaurants.. you have to show up when you want to eat. WE didn't find this to be a problem - if you get there right as the restaurant is opening - you'll get right in. Have a wonderful time on your holiday! are you going to book an excursions?

[@pam1372]

I am sadly a lazy traveller and will book when I get there and see what is available. It really will depend on daily bases.

[@dewaynewestmoreland3773]

I want to go. This resort looks amazing.

Hey Morx! Thanks for the kind words. We really appreciate it !! 🥰. Unfortunately, the SPA is an extra fee. You may be able to snag a discount on spa services. Just ask. The fitness centre IS included in the all inclusive though. Here’s to a super awesome vacation for you guys in March!! 🥂

Whats the best dinner spot in the peninsula

Awesome !!! Congrats on your milestone! I had noooooo trouble with the food at RIU palace peninsula. It was terrific. We went to Bahia this past New Years, and noticed the RIU was better. Mind you, there’s probably places that are even better, but RIU checked all our boxes!! They even accommodated for dairy free and gluten free diets

Have a watch and let us know if you have any questions ! ☺️ are you planning any excursions??

Great stuff. One thing you didn’t mention - is the entertainment the same between the 3 Riu properties - staggering the show times ?

Hmm I don’t remember. There was quite a variety of shows at peninsula through the week. We didn’t see the entertainment schedules at the other resorts. Maybe someone else may know??

[@judycheaaa]

Did you book it on a certain website or is travelocity and websites like that okay to book on for all inclusive?

We always book on a reputable travel website. We use Sunwing, Tripcentral, signature vacations, expedia, etc. Never had a problem with those vendors - and usually can find cheaper prices!

I like how organized with detail and descriptions you are in each area of the hotel. Bet those Adult Villas are costly ? Question : Which carrier did you use to book RIU from Toronto or did you book separately? As in flight then hotel ? We use Wetjet simply because we live in Edmonton and Kelowna, BC ; and their flights are non-stop (which I like ), however I can’t find any RIU RESORT options w/ WJ. My wife and I will defiantly go to this resort next year ( 2021) It’s more our style. BTW - your narrative is very clear - Thank you and Bravo 👏👏👏

Bari Demers Bari Demers aww thanks for the kind words Bari Demers!! I love filming these resort tours for everyone. I hope that it helps people get a feel for the resorts and helps them while making selections on which resort to choose. Or maybe just a little inspiration on a snowy winter day ! This vacation we used Sunwing vacations and booked through their site. They had a promotion on , and the villas were the same price as a regular tower room! So keep an eye out for those sales.

What was your favorite restaurant? And how far is this hotel from the rest?

We loved the Kulanarium. It was nice, seafood! Another one that was nice was krystal. So, RIU caribe is right next door. Las americas and RIU Cancun is much further down the road towards the downtown. You can hope on a bus to get there for $1usd. It’s the easiest way to get there. Fast and safe.

[@Khrys32]

I'm looking to travel to Cancun with my niece (she's 24) in May. Do you recommend Riu Americas or Riu Peninsula? Is there much of a difference between these resorts?

[@WherewegoingNext]

Hey there Khrys! We prefer the peninsula over Americas. We just like the layout, beach, pools, and size of peninsula. It’s bigger than Americas which seems a little congested. I would however suggest Americas if adults only or proximity to the downtown nightlife are high priorities for you. Otherwise, peninsula is 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻. Happy to answer anymore questions you have !!

​@@exploringkev4896 Ahh yes, those are all excellent selections! We also did Isla Muj, Coco Bongo and Chichen Itza. Isla was raining, and we weren't able to explore :(, but Chichen Itza was awesome! Here's our Chichen Itza and Coco Bongo vlog: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bnjMYYKQjtWtb5o
