OMG the double beds - hello darkness my old friend - frikkin hilarious 😂

[@ForTheRoadTravels]

🫢 🤣😂

[@allyson1691]

Loved the humour in this one. Geovanny : …again…. 😂

[@ForTheRoadTravels]

*I (Geo)* usually are on top of the packing 🫢, and Simone was in charge that day, and was the only thing she needed to pack 🤣🫢

[@margaretwheeler8681]

This is a very informative video. I like how you show us where the entrances are, the locals as well. Can’t wait to get there

[@ForTheRoadTravels]

Yay, we're so glad to know that this video was helpful for you 🙌🙏🫶 We hope you have the best time in PA 🏝️🇲🇽

[@XxnemmaxX]

Great video, here in Mexico just now :)

[@ForTheRoadTravels]

Hola Emma 🙌 Thank you so much for watching and we're happy you enjoyed our video 🙏. Awesome, we hope you have a fantastic time in beautiful Mexico 🇲🇽 🏝️

[@hed4128]

I love that inlet. I have never seen it filled with sargasso like that!

[@ForTheRoadTravels]

We really *enjoyed* it too, we were looking for the cenote, and we found this. We wish we saw the place sargasso-free, nevertheless, we really like this place 🤩🙌

[@margaretwheeler8681]

You guys made me jump with that croc trick. I think I even screamed a little. Funny!

[@ForTheRoadTravels]

Hahaha, Geovanny is always scaring me like that, and I never seem to learn 😆😆😂😂

[@anthony.clarity]

Very cool guys! We're a bit disappointed we didn't see any crocodiles though. 😂😂😂

[@ForTheRoadTravels]

Hahaha, it would have been awesome to have actually seen one 🫢🥲😂 sending you and Michelle a big hug 🤗 Theres a new cocina economica in our neighborhood we go to weekly - we'd looove to have a lunch with you guys there when you're back in town 🇲🇽🫶

[@terryelliott4942]

Hi guys great too see you both great vlog very nice area and man kid you were lucky Hazel would have put me in with the crocs LOL thanks guys much love too you both

[@ForTheRoadTravels]

Hey Terry & Hazel 🫶🤗 hahaha, I've learned to grown very tolerant of Geovanny's tricks - lucky for him 🥲😂 Sending you both lots of love 🥰

[@guadaluperatcliff9030]

😅 you can punch a shark on the eye 😆 you’re funny

[@ForTheRoadTravels]

Hahaha, we that's at least something I heard on Discovery channel, can't say I'd recommend trying it 😂🤭

[@anthony.clarity]

It's true, that's the best way to deal with a shark. Crocs will bite and death roll to drown its prey.

[@ForTheRoadTravels]

@@anthony.clarity I (Geo) believed that sharks were even more harmful than crocodiles but I see that is the opposite 🤭😂

[@YGL07734]

Que susto Geovanny! I almost fell out of my bed! 😂 Beautiful place thanks for the video!

[@ForTheRoadTravels]

Hahaha, this guy is going to give me a panic attack one day 😂😂😂 We're so glad you enjoyed the video 🥰🥰

[@BackToTheCuttingBoard]

I love the both of you, great videos and info! As for crocs, run away in zig zags, they can’t do that! Keep bringing these great vids! ❤

[@ForTheRoadTravels]

Aaah, thank you so much, that is so sweet 🫶🥰 That's a great tip - hopefully we're never in that situation, but definitely good to know just in case 🙏 Lots more on the way 📸🚀

[@KhadiB]

Do not run in a zigzag. I’m really tired of people saying that. Just flat out run away from a Croc 🐊 or Gator 🐊. Humans are faster than both creatures on land and since they are ambush predators, they tend to not want to get into a marathon with you. Just run.

[@nicholaspotgieter4200]

Simone, there are a few of us South Africans living in PA! Go to Monterrey next. Crazy cool city!

[@ForTheRoadTravels]

Howzit Nicholas 🫶🇿🇦 Oh my gosh that's so cool, I had no idea 👀 Thanks for the recommendation, maybe we'll be able to add it to our list of destinations for 2024 🙏🙏

[@DrCrystalHarris]

Loved this too. I’m going to be at PDC in 4 weeks probably won’t leave the area but some great ideas for the next trip to the area. Your content is always great.

[@ForTheRoadTravels]

Hey Crystal 🤗🤗 Aaaah, you must be so excited for your trip to PDC 🙌🇲🇽🏝️ Yesss, definitely keep PA in mind for your next trip over here, it's so pretty and so peaceful 🙌 Thank you Crystal, we really appreciate your kind words 🥰🥰

[@heidia3586]

Excellent video! I’ve been loving your channel. We are hoping to visit Riviera Maya/Cancun for our first time in July! 🎉 😊

[@ForTheRoadTravels]

*Hola Heidi 🙌* Awwww, thank you so much for watching our content, we truly appreciate it 🤗 Awesome, July is a great month, now the weather has been incredibly hot, I mean amazing if you are at the beach all day 🫢🤩🏝️

[@garettoverstreet]

Spent multiple months there and what was once a paradise with the permanent Sargassum it just completely sucks now.

[@ForTheRoadTravels]

We feel you amigo, sargassum has been afected most of the areas here in this region of Mexico 🥲

[@lcosta69]

I will be there next month. At the Catalonia Hotel. I'm glad to know that there are vans that can take us to Playa del Carmen. Can you tell me where we pick up the vans in playa del Carmen? Thanks for the video. 😘👏👏👏

[@ForTheRoadTravels]

Hey Luis 😊😊 Awesome, I'm sure you're super excited for your trip🇲🇽🌴 Yesss, the vans are so easy and affordable! To catch one in Playa del Carmen, you'll find the Collectivo station right across the road to Chedraui Centro😊 Then you'll just need to let the bus driver know where you're headed and you pay as you get off. Geovanny keeps Google maps on so we know how close we are 😊 We hope you have a wonderful trip!

[@lcosta69]

@@ForTheRoadTravels Yes, I'm very curious and looking forward to the date. Thank you very much for your attention. Best wishes to you. 😉

Love PA we got a taxi from Akumal and they let us in we just said we wanted to see friends which we did and it was no bother , guess we turned up on a good day xx

[@ForTheRoadTravels]

Hola *Samantha* 🫶 Awesome, we did enjoy PA as away from the busyness of PDC. We enjoyed how quiet it was, and how safe it felt. Did you guys spend only half a day there? 🙌. Saludos and thanks for commenting and sharing 🙌

[@samanthamcbarron624]

@@ForTheRoadTravels we stayed for two weeks in 2019 and fell in love with Mexico 🇲🇽 we then stayed in Akumal! The next trip I think will be more Cancun / playa area as we didn’t come back up that way when we’ve been 😘 so your guides will come in handy

[@ForTheRoadTravels]

Hi , can you please make a clip about a purchase of properties like single-family houses or.... Thanks

[@ForTheRoadTravels]

*Hola Amig@/s* We're planning on creating something with that related topic and we're still waiting for more info, so we could make an interesting video, thank you for the suggestion and we will definitely consider it. 🫶🙌

[@beachbumbling]

We were there a month or two before COVID (seems like a lifetime ago).We don't remember the tacos being that expensive. It looks like it went up a bit since then. Lovely area though. Cheers

[@ForTheRoadTravels]

Hey guys 🤗🤗 Oh gosh, 2020 does feel like ages ago, doesn't it?! You'd be surprised at how much things have gone up in the last 3 years - ever since CVD, tourism has absolutely exploded 💣🇲🇽

[@beachbumbling]

@@ForTheRoadTravels were really glad to see it bounce back for the local people but hoping it remains affordable going forward. We noticed the same thing in PV this year.

[@valerieallard2048]

you have to blindfold the crocodile if he attacks you! 🐊

[@ForTheRoadTravels]

Thank you for the tip Valerie 🙏🙏 Hahaha, hopefully we'll never get ourselves into a situation where we have to use it 🥲🥲🫢😂

[@goingbacktoourroots]

Based on the discovery channel (lol not my own experience) you can hold a crocodiles mouth shut very easily they can't open it but once it's open 😵‍💫 no idea lol

[@ForTheRoadTravels]

Hahaha, oh gosh, I don't think I'd want to be on the receiving end of an open crocodile mouth 🥲😆🫢 After we got back from our trip to PA, I was curious to know if people take the croc warning seriously and found a video with a whole family swimming in the cenote 🫢🫢

[@LS-id5hc]

So if you wanted to walk your dog on the beach, love snorkeling and paddle boarding on a budget where you you buy a home, sorry to pick your brains. Gracious de mi tres amigo/perros.

[@ForTheRoadTravels]

We often speak about this to one another and if we had a large budget, Puerto Aventuras is honestly perfect for what you're looking for 🙌🏝️ But if you wanted more chance for social interaction and wanted more restaurants/shops available to you, Playa del Carmen or even Playacar are two other great options 🇲🇽🏝️ As far as we know, it is illegal to walk your dogs on the beaches here, but lots of people just do it anyways early in the morning before there is any kind of patrol out 🐶🐶🐶 Sending you love 🤗🤗

I don't like this video. Now too many people will know about this place (where we've been going many times for 10 years). :). I suppose it's too late to keep it a little bit of a secret.
