Mexico City is so good, spend some time there
Pujol for fancy restaurant - in top 15 best restaurants of the world, and is relatively cheap. Check the episode of Chef's Table on Netflix
Roma is the hipster area, Mercado Roma for nice food market or taco's at El Parnita
Make an appointment to visit the Luis Barragan house if you're into architecture - I found the place amazing. Need to book.
Go to the (old school) market at Coyoacán
In Yucatan I've been to Cancun (found it fucking awful), Playa del Carmen (alright-ish) en Isla Holbox (small and relaxing). Holbox is nice and much more low key than Cancun/Playa (obv still touristic). Haven't been to Tulum, fucking expensive and I've got the feeling it's now overloaded with AvocadoYogaInstagramFitgirls.
I really want to go back to Mexico and try other areas (but will definitely visit Mexico City again); the people and food is fucking amazing, and it's almost impossible to get a decent Mexican meal over here.

-Tacos Orinoco: amazing tacos
-Yu Yu: really cool, small basement club if you're into house and electronic music
-Airbnb: I stayed here in a neighborhood called Roma Norte. I would definitely stay in either Roma Norte or La Condesa, as both areas are safe, near a lot of big attractions, and have cool artistic and cosmopolitan vibes
-Ballet Folcorico de Amalia Hernandez: pretty touristy tbh, but a nice (cheap) way to see a performance in the city's iconic concert hall (Palacio de Bellas Artes). It's a show of Mexican dances from different region's and periods of the country.
-Museo de Arte Moderno: small museum in Chapultepec. Some rotating exhibitions plus a small permanent section with some iconic Mexican artists
-Cafe de Raiz: small restaurant in Roma Norte that makes great tamales
Yeah, whereabouts you staying?
We did Ubud and Denpasar, Ubud was miles better. We had one of the garden suites here - https://www.comohotels.com/en/comoshambhalaestate - and it's still one of my favourite places I've stayed.

Yeah - Check out Canggu - chilled beach vibe and not too touristy (like Kuta and Seminyak). We stayed at https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Hotel_Review-g311298-d10311877-Reviews-Theanna_Eco_Villa_and_Spa-Canggu_North_Kuta_Bali.html - highly recommend it. Free shuttle on your beck and call 24/7. Also check out the Como Canggu, just opened.
Check out Bambu Indah in Ubud - very special place owned by a jewellery designer, made entirely out of Bamboo and old teak houses and close enough to the action in Ubud center. https://princeoftravel.com/blog/review-bambu-indah-ubud

for Caribbean;
barbados > st lucia > cuba > jamaica
Just got back from a long weekend in Jamaica. Loved it. Did the bob Marley tour at Nine Mile where he was born and it was amazing. Record shopping in Kingston on saturday and ate Ital at Spice Portal. Also did the “plantation” tour! Haha
