I love Unlimited Vacation Club (UVC) videos, they give me a chance to work on my Spanish as well as check out all the details of a resort property. The latest one on YouTube covers the brand new Secrets Impression Isla Mujeres and it will let you in on all the minutiae general resort videos don’t tell you.
If you’ve been keeping track of the many new resorts already open or soon to open in the Cancun and Riviera Maya areas of Mexico, you may know that the brand new Hotel Riu Latino in the Costa Mujeres area north of Cancun just opened its doors for business. It is a new adults-only resort, and while it is not a Riu Palace brand, it has a lot to offer guests including a water park. It seems somewhat similar to Riu Dunamar which I stayed at several years ago–kids aren’t allowed at this one, however.
The Royal Uno Cancun just opened this summer but there have been few posted videos highlighting the accommodations. I found one which shows one of the suites I have been particularly interested in, the Beachfront Suite With Plunge Pool. It’s actually a one-bedroom Master Suite with a separate bedroom, two Murphy beds in the living room, and a very large terrace with its own small pool (it looks like a separate Jacuzzi is part of the pool) with several full loungers and a hammock with an unobstructed ocean view. Very nice; perfect for families with two children.
Royal Resorts added another resort/beach webcam at their new family-friendly all-inclusive, Royal Uno. I like this one because you can see a lot of the actual resort property in addition to what the beach conditions generally look like.
The fully renovated Royal Uno, which used to be the Royal Caribbean, is supposed to open tomorrow on June 28, 2022. If I’m not mistaken I believe the resort is near the Omni Cancun and the Cancun museum in the southern part of the Hotel Zone.
For those Royal Resorts fans, especially those who may miss the Royal Caribbean, mark your calendars for June 28, 2022 when it will reopen as the Royal Uno All-Inclusive Resort and Spa.
Now Emerald Cancun used to be called Grand Oasis Sens–it is located on the east side of the “7” in the Hotel Zone. While some renovations were made, the resort itself looks very similar with cosmetic changes and re-naming of public spaces. The resort opened with its re-branded name in June 2019 and is fully operational at this point.
