Creator's Key Takeaways

the food and dining situation at the cancun margaritaville is quite a bit different than the other margaritavilles i've been to

all in all we considered it a great vacation one i'm sure we'll remember for a long long time

it was such a unique opportunity when i don't think we'll ever have again to stay at a caribbean resort with so few other guests

the folks at the restaurants at margaritaville were totally happy to work with those special requirements and it really didn't become much of an issue

YouTube Video Descriptionโ†“

This is the second of two videos that Jim made about his 7-day vacation at a nearly empty all-inclusive resort near Cancun. With American tourists mostly staying at home during the pandemic, this resort was incredibly un-crowded and it created a unique and amazing vacation experience for Jim and his wife. In this video, Jim talks about his reaction to the food they offered at the Cancun Margaritaville... and how it was different from other Margaritavilles he''s been to. Also, he gives you a tour of his swim-up suite... presents a montage of macaws and pelicans that he saw at the resort... and shares a few great aerial shots from his drone. If you're interested in booking a vacation at an all-inclusive resort... or any vacation such as a cruise or a trip to Disney World... feel free to use the services of Jim's travel agent, Caitlin Gallagher. Her services don't cost you anything at all, as her fees are paid for by the resorts, cruise lines, and hotels. Jim used to book all of his travel himself, directly with the cruise lines and resorts... but eventually figured out that it saved him some trouble to have a travel agent on his side. For example, if you need to modify or cancel a booking... you could end up waiting on the line for long periods of time to talk to an agent, and when you finally get connected... that agent may not speak English very well. It's way better to have a travel agent do all that for you.
