You know what else is amazing other than the views? This man's steady hands.

[@raphaeloliveira4987]

Perhaps, amazing are the engineers behind the stabilization systems in modern cellphone cameras

[@vaiosan775]

And has good camera his device and make good videos in 4Κ 60FPS. In contrary Sam Chui make medium quality videos with simple 1080p. Not even with 60 FPS for more smooth video. I asked Chui many times why he doesn't make an upgrade but no answer.

[@raphaeloliveira4987]

@@vaiosan775 Completely different styles. Sam Chui is more informative. Luxury Travel is meant to be more cinematic

[@vaiosan775]

​@@raphaeloliveira4987 that is not excuse not upgrading Chui his camera at least to 1080p 60 FPS. For me some of Chui videos make me feel dizzy because are not smooth. For example when Chui move his camera (I suppose his mobile but not sure) horizontally. And other travelers but with less subscribers have the style of Chui but have 4K cameras (smartphone or normal camera). So NO ! It is NOT an excuse to not improve himself with better equipment to give better experience to his viewers.

[@anonymous00117]

​@@vaiosan775how you moan about something that is provided to you free of charge is beyond me. nobody is forcing you to watch that other youtuber's videos. you can always make your own videos if you think you can do a better job.

[@MrEbeet]

I always love when you ask us if we ever stayed at these places. I'm always like, "Uhhh no, Luxury Travel Expert... No I have not". 😢 My version is more like, "Have you ever stayed at the Holiday Inn Express off I81 in Staunton, VA? If so drop a comment"

[@EricaNernie]

I could do one for Motel 6 somewhere off I95 perhaps?

[@darcimunday4410]

You guys crack me up. LOL!

[@robertfoerster566]

Hey we can always hope for some miracle! :)

[@tangt4860]

😂

[@jmr0117]

wow!!! absolutely wonderful, thank you for giving us these videos and music that make our days better and fill us with peace

[@jorgesobrino8470]

Simplemente espectacular, este es un hotel para descansar no para estar de fiesta, algunos comentarios lo critican pero definitivamente no es para todas las personas, el diseño del hotel es impresionante muy bien logrado y sobre todo porque que cuida el entorno rodeado por manglares. Las vistas se ven impresionantes y es de los mejores diseños de hoteles en Cancún que me ha tocado ver. Las ambientaciones de los espacios interiores y el mobiliario se ven impecables. La obra de ingeniería para su construcción se ve de lo mejor.

[@MisterDBP]

First video of yours where I’ve not wanted to go to the resort. It looked soulless. Arriving it looked like an airport terminal

[@shanew7361]

I agree. Nice alien jail cell. Poor use of real estate.

[@argo12]

I loved the art in the lobby and the outdoor/indoor feel of that space as well as the library and spa, but I found the big white curves of the walls to feel a little too institutional. The suite looked nice, just seems like overall it's too big and seems to lack character in the guest room common areas.

[@911scimitar]

You want it to be crowded?

[@tangt4860]

The resort is breathtaking for its use of space and innovative architecture plus the facilities to cater to everyone though good enough only for a short 1/2 nights stay.

[@annsmith7207]

Thanks for this tour! The hotel is massive and as a result: cold, austere and soulless. Some people will like this - others won’t. You did a terrific job on the video and capturing all of the elements that make this St Regis hotel top grade. But this will not be for everyone. Cheers!

[@webstermary123]

Your camera work is amazing 👏 🤩

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Nice to see Mexico content! Such fun 👏🏽 P.S. The waters look pristine.

[@BellaHardy2828]

What a beautiful resort! love the integration of nature within the hotel. Feels like you're outside without being outside. Also love that they built it around a conservation area - it brings awareness that we can respect nature while living with it! Always love your videos! Thank you so much for the work that you do!

[@EVOKELOVE]

Absolutely beautiful 🤍

[@flashtone2834]

This is beyond beautiful, I loved how they kept the fields! This is an architectural marvel!! It’s like it’s blending into nature

[@tangt4860]

A splendid and magnificently designed estate. Watched the entire video unlike Belmond where 10 mins into it and it felt like sheer boredom.

[@Environmentally.Intelligent]

Some viewers are expressing it soulless. With respect to your opinion dear, I just want to share my view.....the places we have been watching in courtesy of LTE, are the places fortunate people travel for the peace of soul and mind. Had these places been that soulful...i mean full of crowd, how would your soul get the desired peace of mind and soul?How would you taste the flavour of tranquility!! I wish I could let my family indulge in such serenity!!! How lucky Mr. LTE Doctor and his family are!

[@ianjunitedk]

Nicely done video as always , thanks for sharing it ...

[@luxurytravelexpert]

Thanks for watching!

[@tompat3333]

Thank you so much for the beautiful videos and for inspiring me to travel to these beautiful destinations! Wow!

[@johnnypooh3243]

Doctor i have been watching since 2017...great video..especially the pool and walking on the beach..reminds me of that beach in Bali where you just heard the waves crashing for over two minutes...lovely...I see you are going back to the maldives...how about bali?...lastly..I know you switched to the KZbin subtitles for variety of languages..but to me it cheapens the beautiful scenery of your work...I humbly ask we get the banner on the bottom of the screen again...I'm not liking the new format...thanks John.

[@tangt4860]

Too much Maldives - please head to Japan / Korea / Thailand top end resorts.

[@inayathkhan100]

Because of your Channel we get to know all the Super Luxurious Resorts , Hotels around the world as always too good video. Thank you 👍

[@jenng.7939]

Wow...that has to be some of the most gorgeous food shots I've ever seen...just luscious. Also, the pool area is stunning! Thanks for sharing.

[@bulufish8208]

This is what you call one of the best of all brands 👏. Thank you my friend ❤️.

[@gsu12fo]

Muchas gracias! Yo soy del norte y me paarece genial conocer otras partes del pais

[@luxurytravelexpert]

❤️🇲🇽

[@kawangkwok5262]

St Regis Kanai has a contemporary design, such as lobby, library and spa, would not mix not follow the tropical weather or Maya cultural design.. Nevertheless I found the suite follows a degree of tropical design, because mainly using brown as main colour, to harmonize the tropical surroundings. I found really impressive with the design from Chaya Restaurant for breakfast, in rare case, green tiles is difficult to fit with interior design, but the ambiance of the restaurant was so good! Thank you Expert!

[@yasinonelke]

Excellent video as always, keep it up 👍🏻

[@EricaNernie]

Another beauty! Thank you for sharing with us.

[@msubiquitous6462]

I am going to the St Regis in a few weeks thank you for the preview. I am looking forward to some down time. It is like a spa resort the whole experience is spa like. I have the room with the splash pool to but it is ocean facing.

[@luxurytravelexpert]

Enjoy your holiday

[@user-th3sm1hw9l]

Stunning and love your clips.

[@kenkavanagh2018]

Once Again, Stunning. I have never seen any resort in the Riviera Maya with so few people...❤

[@chineymo]

He films early when few people are around for privacy reasons 😊

[@bkllily]

I love your channel ! Thank you for your efforts to get the best views and make us get a feel of those magnificent places. Bless you

[@luxurytravelexpert]

Thank you ☺️

[@gsu12fo]

Que genial y que hermoso todoooo 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@ljcor1899]

Wow. What an amazing resort. So well executed and impressive looking. Will def be checking it out as it’s close to us here in south Florida. Let’s also hope hurricane season doesn’t create much havoc this year…. Cheers

[@HaleyFlood-fo1ll]

Beautiful resort❤very luxurious my dream vacation one day in life 😊

[@1945jude]

As usual…brilliant video, great music, a lovely room, very steady hands…..But a soulless outlook! Thanks though, a great visit.

[@agustinamariarivarolaberra3013]

very nice video,as allways,congratulations. Greetings from Buenos Aires,Argentina

[@beardenbob6567]

To each his own! I'd prefer Banyan Tree or Rosewood Mayakoba over this any day, both are exceptional in their own individual way.

[@tangt4860]

Banyan is overrated - just threw away one of their in-house sale items like several before.

[@vinodmerani5032]

There are more such big resorts here. This channel goes alive with such 5 star properties.

[@jeremy1350]

Hello Traveler. The first thought I had looking at this resort, I was looking for Cenotes in the middle of that circular architecture among the mangroves. Spiders, and Snakes, and Bugs Oh My !!! Spiders, and Snakes, and Bugs Oh My !! The resort is beautiful. I've been to that area many times by ship, but never by air and land based vacation.

[@Enoxix.]

I’ve been watching your videos for years now, but I think this is definitely going into my top 3!

[@Lana-ro6cb]

This looks like a government isolation hospital 🏥

[@AeroTravels]

Amazing Hotel! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@grafyoster8976]

Checking the prices at the Beach Club menu I thought at the first moment they were asking for $US 😱😂.

[@d.g.1594]

This is a very spectacular resort in Mexico

[@TravelonlineWalk]

Nice, reminds me on trip to Corralejo

[@KarenLewis-yz9iv]

DOC ❤ THE UNIQUE SCULPTURES! THE PANORAMIC VIEWS, OPENNESS SUCH A ISLAND VIBE ❤THE SUITE IS LIKE A MINI RESORT! SPACIOUS WITH YOUR OWN LARGE PATIO & INFINITY POOL ❤ THE PRIVATE ADULT ONLY POOL & FAMILY POOL OPTIONS ✅ THE LARGE CABANAS ❤ THE FOOD PRESENTATION! DOC THE CRYSTAL CLEAR QUALITY OF THIS VIDEO LOOKS LIKE YOUR SHOOTING IN 8K OR 25MP!!!! 😊

[@11370LB]

Hot stones energised under the moon!

[@useraccount8411]

HI❤ Amazing video. What camera brand do you use to record your videos? Thanks for sharing this amazing content and for taking us with you on these trips.

[@luxurytravelexpert]

iPhone

[@MsSmartmonkeee]

Rosewood Kona Village is the tops! You should come and try it out. Very exclusive,so right up your alley. Try the sushi restaurant, Chef Jeung is amazing and a very nice person too.

[@olgahaczkiewicz429]

Мне понравилось....

[@dubcee4694]

Looks like Apple Park 😂. Beautiful 👏🏾

[@musicallypso]

Looks like UFO space ship

[@SonoraD.]

15:10 I got really scared by that face on the tv 😂

[@seyley2901]

Off topic, but I would love a video of your editing suite, the kit you use, and why you use it. The places you need to go on your bucket list? Top 3 locations in a video? The last time you went a B' n B' or an Air bnb. Best for business, best for family, best for solo, best for women on their own, best for active lifestyles....

[@brado.4152]

I love your videos but lately all hotels you visit look kind of the same. There are so many iconic and legendary hotels that are important part of history and heritage like Hotel du Cap Eden Roc, The Beverly Hills Hotel, Copacabana Palace, The Breakers in Palm Beach, Marbella Club, Byblos St Tropez etc. I hope we will be able to see more of that kind of places on your channel soon.

[@estrella70]

✨

[@vaiosan775]

It seems a bicycle 🚲 is useful there in some areas of the resort 😊

[@A380_Flyer]

Please visit Rosewood Mayakoba

[@luxurytravelexpert]

Next week 😉

[@jonglee8776]

I heard elite members only get continental breakfast. What was your experience? Would appreciate a future review on your website either menu prices! 🙏🙏

[@jamesmondsexperience]

Wow it looks like an Avengers facility

[@IHGChick]

Is it always that empty?

[@chineymo]

He always tries to do his filming earlier in the day when there's not people around for their privacy. Doesn't always reflect how busy a resort is.

[@ullasrensen2398]

Nobody is going to Mexico these days........

[@nazaman7977]

The resort comes with an abundant supply of freshly grown Cannabis right on your doorstep.

[@VegGirlSF]

Could you include info detailing which airport is closest and how far from the airports too, thanks

[@argo12]

Turn on the subtitles. At the very beginning he indicated the resort was a 30 minute drive from the Cancun airport. 4:24

[@hinesal]

Do you film the bits in public areas really early in the morning? I’m always thinking “is this place so expensive that there’s just no one there?” Or are you filming the pools at like 7am?

[@luxurytravelexpert]

Yes, I always film very early in the morning when there are no other guests around 😉

[@Travel.Essential]

Where us everyones next holiday?

[@Corrosionchemist]

Being in the middle of mangroves, are there any unanticipated guests from the mangroves such as snakes and other forms of wildlife or insects that one must be aware of?

[@luxurytravelexpert]

I did not see any 😉

[@Warin71]

the architecture is exactly my taste, looks like starfleet headquarter😅 But being built over Mangroves and water, don't they have to spray tons of insecticides to keep the ressort free of bugs and mosquitos? So no chance for fireflies in the mangroves?

[@MyAka77]

Food menu is on USD or MXN?

[@luxurytravelexpert]

MXN

[@hennedvazquez7308]

How about sargazo??

[@Nimuetootoo]

Too much crime in Mexico right now...glad you made it out alive!

[@li5bon]

Not a fan of this hotel. Looks bland and haa no vibrance to it. Also nothing to do there, be bored after 3 days. Over the last few hotels you have reviewed there is nothing to do,no days out....

[@alejandrocamino9134]

It is not fore everyone 😊

[@Chris-vz2kv]

You don’t understand why people go there. It’s to have a getaway and do absolutely nothing in a premium way. You just stay at a Fairfield in Cancun if you want to explore.

[@jamespedder5171]

Probably bad WiFi too, just like my mother-in-law’s

[@Pablo-kh9lu]

Guessing this camera guys not friends with the unexplained U,F,O camera crew

[@diver11b1p2]

Rack of Lamb, $92 USD.... no thank you!

[@MyThoughtsonEverythingBusiness]

SCAMMERS STOP SENDING ME YOUR SCAMMER MESSAGES

[@TheDizzydiana]

Family pool.! didn't look family friendly to me. The whole hotel, shape looked like a clinic where you'd find Stepford wives being programmed.

[@ullasrensen2398]

Oh my....not a 5-star place! Get on from there in a hurry!!

[@Andhrapradesh99]

Brother waste resort, it is not like your previously stated beautiful resorts.😡
