[@tanittaclark8088]

This was a really nice video. I really like how you took your time to show all the details of the room. Is this an all inclusive resort?

[@TheLostOnesVlog]

Thank you, Tanitta! We appreciate your comment. Yes, it is all-inclusive so all of the things in the room are included as well as the restaurants, drinks, and food! :)

[@marciwargo4802]

We are heading there mid October. Can’t wait for a chill and relaxing vacation. Did you try the French restaurant?

[@TheLostOnesVlog]

We are excited for you and hope you have a wonderful time! We did, we thought it was great. We have another video on our channel showing the food from there!

[@ExploreTravelTV]

great tour and review. I just looked up the prices (I own a travel agency) pretty pricey but def a deluxe resort.

[@yakeandmarie]

Looks so so amazing guys, mexico is a must for us, we can’t wait to make it down here with the van. New friend here 💛

I liked this vid solely based on the light switch moment lol

[@TheLostOnesVlog]

LOL thank you!!

[@CuseCruisers]

We just came back from Cancun and we stayed at the RIU Caribe. We could not get our room cold. They set the AC to a certain temp and that’s it. Wondering how it is in this hotel because we would like to go back.

[@TheLostOnesVlog]

We were able to adjust the AC in the room! We set it as low as 67 degrees Fahrenheit but fairly sure it might be able to go lower!

[@dewaynewestmoreland3773]

Good video. Looks like great resort. Wow. I want to visit Cancun, but not too sure which one just yet.

[@TheLostOnesVlog]

Thank you for the kind words! We hope you get to go soon! It's a great destination no matter where you decide to stay.

What kind of camera do you use. Did you use a drone for tge aerial view. The video looks really good

[@TheLostOnesVlog]

Thank you so much! We use a Canon G7x for most of our vlogs, our iPhones with an external microphone are used a lot when we don't have our camera. For our drone, we have a DJI Mavic Pro. Hope this helps!!

[@alalesc3796]

ITS AMAZING!

[@frankamador8434]

Damn!! the hotel looks amazing!!!

[@melfuentes4184]

Good presentation thanks. Is this resort located within the hotel zone área ?

[@TheLostOnesVlog]

Thank you so much. Yes, it is!

[@Makemydayoutdoors]

We've been to "Grand Palladium Costa Mujeres" its very similar.

[@BallinxSince91]

I know this might sound like a stupid question, but what’s all included in the all inclusive package? Do you pay any extra cost while there? Are all the restaurants, room service, drinks, and spas included at no extra charge? Thank you in advance I’ve never been to an all inclusive resort so just wondering

[@TheLostOnesVlog]

Hey, thanks for reaching out! Not a stupid question at all. It depends on the resort but with the all inclusive package at Le Blanc all food and beverages including alcohol were included. Room service and all restaurants were included, as well as the bar at the pool and lobby lounge. However, the spa was an extra cost (we didn't use it) and we chose to tip extra gratuity to our room staff at the end of our trip (optional). We hope this helps!!

[@mattyslicks]

Great review. What style room did you have?

[@TheLostOnesVlog]

Thank you, Matt! We were in the "Royale deluxe lagoon sunset view" as they call it on their website. It's the cheapest level room out of their accommodations. Hope this helps!

[@angienichols1248]

The seaweed was a big problem when we last went. How was it when you went?

[@TheLostOnesVlog]

It was pretty bad when we went too

[@400workout]

Agree.

[@pinkkiki3]

Are the restaurants and spa included with your stay or would you have to pay extra for them?

[@TheLostOnesVlog]

Restaurants are included but spa is extra :)

[@davidho7272]

do you have to tip the butler? if so, how much?

[@TheLostOnesVlog]

Hi David, it's not required but we really felt our butlers went above and beyond so we tipped them $50 each at the end of our stay. The amount is up to you, even $20 would be acceptable if you feel they really helped you.

[@hussienkadry5293]

Is all the food free, as part of the all-inclusive package?

[@Makemydayoutdoors]

Yes. Food drinks (including alcohol) and some in resort activities.

[@mikejones5364]

Ateilier is probably better, it just 2 years old and since Covid killed travel for about 1.5 years this place doesn't get mentioned. Give it time it probably the best out there.

[@robertdavis4123]

What is proper in regards to tipping?

[@TheLostOnesVlog]

It varies per resort. This resort didn’t require tips at all but check with your resort’s policies. We did tip housekeeping, butlers, room service and bar staff because we felt they went above and beyond the normal duties. It was not required but for bar staff and room service, we tipped upon service - about $2-$3 per round of food/drinks. Butlers and housekeeping: we tipped at the end of our stay before we left and thanked them personally as well. $2-5 per day for housekeeping, if you are like us and leave a particularly disorganized and messy room each day because you are on vacation- lean towards the high side of that. Butlers tips are usually around 5% of the nightly room rate. We had two butlers, one for the morning and one for the evening and gave them both tips since they equally handled our reservations, requests, and random questions. One of the butlers even called our group when the sea turtle team saw sea turtles come ashore so we could head down and see them per our request (the turtles show up unexpectedly in the middle of the night). You can lean towards a lower tip if you don’t utilize their services as often. Everyone is different but we hope this helps!

[@JLC28317]

Wats the name of thee resort

[@nekbrkr414]

It’s called Le Blanc Spa Resort. The Cancún location.

[@TheLostOnesVlog]

Hi Sid, thank you for reaching out to us! We use Google to search for the cheapest hotels while we travel, we also use a website called TripAdvisor. You can sort by area, price and read reviews. TripAdvisor also ranks the hotels based on your filters so you are able to see 10 hotel names within the area you are looking for in the budget you are looking for! Hope this helps and good luck. We hope you enjoy you time in Cancun!!

[@frankj8478]

Xcaret Hotel is not a 5 star, it’s a 5 Diamond resort.

[@emmalewis7055]

how much for 5 days

[@TheLostOnesVlog]

Hi Emma, current rates can be found on Le Blanc's website: www.leblancsparesorts.com/cancun/en/accommodations We got a deal because close friends of ours booked a room and received a buy-one-get-one free deal and passed it onto us which we are extremely grateful for. Le Blanc seems to offer deals on their website and if you book at the right time, you can save on your stay! Hope this helps!

[@timetotravel5886]

How much was the stay?

[@TheLostOnesVlog]

We were sponsored by friends but if you start a booking on their website, you will be able to see the current rates for your dates that you want! www.leblancsparesorts.com/cancun/en

[@lecp3248]

Broooooooo!!!! Take me with you

[@nikkib6604]

I heard great things about this resort but does it have either balcony ocean view rooms or swim up rooms?

[@TheLostOnesVlog]

Thanks, Nikki! They do have rooms that open right up near the pool too! No swim-up but close to the pool loungers.

[@kevinkevin624]

Beautiful resort. Not sure why they are rated number 1 in Cancun. Could be due to collected revenues etc. In my opinion, Excellence Playa Mujeres blows them away in service and accomodations. Look and compare the TripAdvisor reviews.

[@czerinaesthetics]

Haven’t been to le blanc but I can definitely say Excellence Playa Mujeres was such an amazing resort! I dream about going back all the time.

[@kevinkevin624]

@@czerinaesthetics I'll be there in October....😍

[@markbair1269]

ummm how do ya get invited ? i wanna go for free

[@TheLostOnesVlog]

The resort didn't sponsor us but we were sponsored by friends! The resort is having a Buy One Get One deal right now, so if you buy 4 nights, you get 4 nights free. Instead of using the extra 4 nights, our friends gifted them to us!

[@kathiainnewyorkcityvlogs9068]

masks were not required?

[@TheLostOnesVlog]

At the time of visit (July 2020), Le Blanc had all their staff wear masks and it was optional for guests as long as guests cleared a COVID survey upon check in, were socially distanced from others during the stay, and had temperatures taken. Tables at restaurants were set further apart, along with lounge chairs, lobby chairs, etc. Everyone we saw was very conscious and respectful of the rules and space. We are not sure if this has changed since our visit.

[@Mr.Jamie.D]

Have you traveled before? The average Riu resort has both better rooms with grounds that are way more robust and luxurious

[@pitbullchamp3459]

Lol wait, why is it rated #1 resort in cancun mex?

[@TheLostOnesVlog]

Not sure what criteria is used when ranking but it’s ranked #1 by: Jetsetter Magazine Oyster Hotel Reviews Travel + Leisure Magazine TheCrazyTourist.com Travel Professional News Tripadvisor and they are one of only 3 in Cancun to have the AAA Five Diamond Award

[@NoMore9to5Work]

Cause compared to all the other hotels, its the most luxurious one. They can also come pick you up from the airport in a Roll Royce

[@scottdehoog9922]

What are the rates

[@jenniegibbs2843]

About $394 a night per person according to Expedia

[@kingcobra4715]

I was expecting more luxurious room decor for a le Blanc. There are better resorts in Cancun.

[@mayasofia7153]

To me Melia is better but is just my opinion.

[@NoMore9to5Work]

Le Blanc is a Rolls Royce and Melia is a higher end Mercedes.

[@mayasofia7153]

@@NoMore9to5Work never really liked Rolls Royce cars to be honest, I will rather have a Mercedez, it just looks better, it is more stylish than the sqearish Rolls Royce cars. But great analogy, Melia is more stylish like the Mercedez and Le Blanc more sqearish and expensive like that Rolls Royce. LOL.

[@winnjonesiii]

Excellence Playa Mujeres is better.

[@kevinkevin624]

Couldn't agree more. EPM is way better. The food, accommodations and pricing is much better. We always go with a swim up suite in the Excellence Club. How this resort is considered number one....just do not understand.
