We never wear branded clothing that might give a clue where we are from - such as team wear or state. Also try and cover any resort wristband with a watch bracelet. On Sundays the beach at Parque Fundadores and about 200 yards north of the beach entrance at Mamitas are where the locals hang out. We enjoy hanging here and people watch. We call the north end the bohemian area as the vibe is really laid back with hippies and hipsters and lots of new condos in the area. Thank you both and have a great year!

We were in PDC the first week of December and your videos were really helpful! This was our fifth trip to Mexico, but first not on a resort. We stayed at an Air BnB not far from Playa 88 and liked being away from the more touristy area but could walk up to 5th when we wanted and as you pointed out the further away from the chaos the much more relaxed and cheaper it was. We ate at some fantastic restaurants, tried marquesitas (so good!), and I spend 2 mornings volunteering by walking dogs at the Playa Del Carmen Animal Rescue. We walked over 20, 000 steps a day and always felt safe with the common sense guidelines that you've pointed out here. I can't wait to come back and hopefully will have a lot more Spanish under my belt.

My family is visiting Mexico for the first time in June (Peurto Aventuras) We discovered your videos in January shortly after booking our trip and we have been watching them in our TV for hours every day. I’m not exaggerating at all. It feels like you guys are now part of our home lol. Your videos have been helpful beyond words. Thank you so much for the amazing content. I feel prepared for our trip and can’t wait to explore the Riviera Maya with your tips. ❤❤❤

I just returned from Playa Del Carmen and had a wonderful time.
I would like to share with everyone one scam or problem that I am currently dealing with.
I was charged on my card after we left a small bar. We wanted to experience some smaller bars and just went for one drink and moved to the next small bar just off of 5th. My credit card shows the $19 USD for the 2 drinks and a generous tip. We left right after that. The next morning "The Thursty Gringo" charged $78 USD to my card. We were never there for that!!
Unfortunately, my local friend has told me that they probably took a photo of my card and will continue to use it.
I'm destroying this card and will have to get a completely new one.
Another piece of advice for the bigger clubs is pay your bill each round. Otherwise you will have a very long bill at the end that will be very difficult to understand and you can't leave until you pay it.
Thank you two for making such great informative videos. 😎👍

Guys, another great video. Glad to see that you’re both healthy and happy.
Thanks for the tip about areas to purchase Condos, we just returned from PDC last November 2023 and miss it already. Question, in your original plan to visit all of Mexico did you guys visit Veracruz????
