They officially allow sealed chicken but have been known to confiscate it anyways.

I misspoke. I didn't mean raw meat. I meant they allowed the sealed marked salamis. But not the same in turkey.

I booked Hyatt Ziva with points 25K regular upgraded to 40K Ocen Club Tower with hot tub on the balcony.

Paying with cash price is around $8-900 a night

There was also a fish Israeli style small restaurant.
Red heifer was delicious
Had fruit and cereal for breakfast and lunch frim hotel
Find a hotel with more than one pool and you should be able to find an empty one at any time. Also buy a swim cover up just in case. I walked around in it on the beach all day!

I didn't go there during Yeshiva week but I was told during Yeshiva Week the wait is hours long.

Hi. Want to go with dh to Cancun. Can you recommend which hotels to stay at? I want there best possible and what about food? Do I need to rent a car? And what do u say about a nine month old nursing baby. Should I leave baby home cuz it will ruin our trip?

All help appreciated. Thanks

We stayed at Cancun Ritz Carlton. Amazing view, right on beach, food contact Chabad Rabbi. One of the best experiences of my life,,,,

Also you can take the ferry to isle mujeres about a 20 minute ferry ride worth spending the day there. There is a kosher cafe there

It’s only 20 min? Someone told me it’s an hour and 45 min.

I brought deli sandwiches with me years ago and it was fine. I don’t think the kosher restaurants were open yet at that time.

You may not bring deli into the country, but you can purchase cold cuts in Costco.
