Creator's Key Takeaways

It is seaweed season and that looks a little nasty.

We love Mexico, guys. It's so much actually that they can offer over here.

The smell is terrible, guys. It's disgusting. Seaweed. The seaweed is disgusting.

I do love Mexico a lot and I love the Mexican beaches a lot, the culture, the food, everything.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Take a day pass or pay for a private beach during seaweed season to ensure a clean beach experience.
Get taxis outside the port for better rates; avoid taking them inside the port.
Stick to your planned itinerary and don't let vendors deviate you from your plans.
Bring your own extension cord for CPAP machines to avoid extra charges.
Measure bathroom dimensions if you have concerns about size; request a larger room if needed.
