Looking For A Lifestyle-Friendly Party Resort?

Every once in awhile I get an email asking me what all-inclusive resorts are “party central” in Cancun and the Riviera Maya.  In my last post, I attached a video about Breathless Riviera Cancun and mentioned its topless-optional Xcerelate Party Zone Pool and amenities which encourage socialization and engender a party atmosphere.  While this Breathless resort in the Riviera Maya and the new Breathless Cancun Soul located in Cancun’s Hotel Zone are recognized as luxury party resorts, there are some vacationers who still want to find a more hard core all night party which makes them feel like its spring break in their 20’s all over again.  Also, the LGBTQIA community and other “lifestylers”, such as swingers, want to find a party resort where they feel welcomed and not judged.

Help Me Choose A Resort Last “Decompression” Choice…

Ok, so far I have suggested Viceroy Riviera Maya and El Dorado Casita Suites for my initial vacation “decompression”, the last choice is going to be the cheapest of them but what I consider to be a tremendously underrated resort, Akumal Bay Beach and Wellness Resort.  It used to be called Akumal Bay Resort and it looks like it has gone back to its roots in terms of its title.  If you look up the resort by either name you will come across info on this beachfront wonder. This all-inclusive property is right up my Mexico vacation alley with lots of jungle and ocean views from most places in the resort, easy access to the beach and ocean, easy access to sea turtles and other marine life, fresh sushi (yay, I might just live off of my Mexican breakfasts and sushi the entire time), and a rooftop suite that has a wonderful ocean view and a Jacuzzi to enjoy.

Help Me Choose Another Resort–Another “Decompression” Choice…

How’s this for another alternative for a very relaxing way to start my next vacation?  It’s part of the famous Karisma resort family which focuses on luxury amenities and great food.  El Dorado Casitas Royale is an adults-only all-inclusive in the Riviera Maya; it’s actually within a cluster of Karisma resorts including El Dorado Royale, Generations Riviera Maya, and the new Nickelodeon resort.  It’s beachfront and close to the water so many room categories have some sort of ocean view.  If I remember correctly, the Royale and the Casitas Royale resorts have privileges with one another which means you can eat and drink at the other resort if you like.

Haven Resort in Trouble???

I just read that a resort in the Riviera Maya was seized by the FGE on the evening of April 25, 2023 (the FGE is basically the State Attorney General’s Office in Mexico).  According to the report in the Riviera Maya News article, the property was seized after receiving a complaint of “dispossession”.  From what I understand, someone else has claimed that they actually own the land/property and are contesting current ownership.

Help Me Choose Some Resorts!!

I thought it would be interesting for you to help me choose my next resorts for my next Cancun/Riviera Maya vacation!  I was thinking of going later this summer or fall 2023 on a solo trip and visiting two or perhaps three resorts.  I have a general idea that I would like to start my vacation with a place that is totally relaxing with a bit of pampering thrown in–I have a very stressful job providing treatment for individuals who have trauma-based psychiatric problems so I need to decompress while on fairly frequent vacations to protect my own mental health.  After I’ve had some time to relax I want to move on to resorts which give me a chance to socialize more, make some travel friends, and have some fun!
