Booking The Right All-Inclusive…
Ever experience an all-inclusive resort vacation which looked good on paper but turned out to be all wrong for you and your family? I’m sure that most of us who tend to vacation at all-inclusive properties have had a few bad trips due to not having enough information or basically no information with the exception of one paragraph write-ups in glossy travel brochures.
A Documentary About Tulum…
I ran across this Tulum documentary and thought it was eye opening in several respects. I did not know that some reportedly “eco-friendly” hotels in Tulum have diesel-run generators in the back of the hotel, but I did become aware of reef-safe sunscreen a while ago and now take some along on vacation to this area in small, TSA approved containers. While Tulum itself does not have many all-inclusive resorts (I think there is one in Tulum proper), there are plenty of “day-trippers” who may want to know how to take it easy on the environment while visiting.
Xibalba Nature Reserve to Open 2022
The latest Xcaret attraction, Xibalba Nature Reserve, was originally scheduled to open Dec. 2020 but got delayed due to COVID. Its latest opening date is supposed to be sometime in June 2022 with a capacity reported to be 2,000 visitors. Xibalba is located by the city of Valladolid in the central part of the Yucatan Peninsula fairly close to the Chichen Itza ruins. In fact, many Chichen Itza tours include a stop at Valladolid either before or after visiting the ruins. Count on tours or private drives to take a couple of hours from Playa del Carmen to reach this destination.
Opening of First Wyndham Alltra in the Riviera Maya
Wyndham has opened its first Alltra all-inclusive resort in the Riviera Maya. It used to be a Panama Jack resort before the buyout, so it’s not a brand new build. It has a perfect location in Playa de Carmen–just on the south edge of famous 5th Ave for shopping, dining, bars, and nightlife, and walking distance to the Cozumel ferry.

Gunfire at the Hyatt Ziva Riviera Cancun
Many have most likely already heard or read about the shooting at the Hyatt Ziva Riviera Cancun (this resort used to be Secrets Silversands). According to reports, this was a targeted execution involving rival drug gangs; two gang members were killed and one tourist had to be taken to the hospital with a head injury.
Spider Monkey Help In Reopening
I re-posted this short video–it’s still one of the best resort videos I’ve seen, lol! Kudos to the monkeys for pitching in to the resort’s efforts to clean up before reopening during COVID…..
Panama Jack Resorts Now Becoming Wyndham…

Another New Hilton Resort To Open…
Found another new all-inclusive resort set to open by the end of the year (the resort is taking reservations starting from Nov. 7, 2021). It is called Hilton Cancun and from the look of things on the Google map, it will be located by the Haven resort and north of Royalton Riviera Cancun. Please correct me if I am wrong here, we all want to know more about this resort!
