I just read last night that Mexico has a new law regarding traveling to their country with children.  In an attempt to cut down on trafficking/kidnapping events concerning children, it will now be necessary to bring additional paperwork showing your relationship to the child/children that are traveling with you on your vacation to Mexico.  Since the law is so newly enacted, there is sparse information about exactly what paperwork this would entail.  So, until Mexico becomes more clear about that aspect this is what is being advised: Continue reading →

Conrad Tulum turned fully all-inclusive Oct. 1, 2026.  Prior to that, they offered an all-inclusive optional package for a couple of years which appeared to be quite successful for this brand since this Conrad property is the very first worldwide to now label itself as an all-inclusive resort.

Interested In Mondrian Cancun? (Used to be Hyatt Vivid Cancun)

I’m surprised it has taken so long for regular vacationer videos to come out about Mondrian Cancun which used to be a Hyatt Vivid property.  The video I’ve linked below isn’t even a vacationer video, it’s a video done by a travel agent (Spoiled Agent) having a discussion with a property rep about what this renamed resort now has to offer.

This is so like me, I just returned from my latest trip to Cancun and felt ready to do so, but I just got finished booking a stay at the brand new Finest Riviera Cancun for late April 2027…I couldn’t resist the deal of an Excellence Club Terrace Swim-Out Suite for $1,800 when the rack rate at this resort for this room category is around $3200 for four nights.  The resort website is even cheaper than Expedia pricing, plus it gives the option of booking now and paying 30 days prior to arrival with free cancellations until the last several weeks or so.  That gives me plenty of time to finalize my decisions about a spring 2027 solo trip!  If you are looking for a new resort deal, don’t hesitate to visit the resort website and check out pricing (to be on the safe side, you might want to clear your cookies after each search in order to be sure of better deals).

Just read that Riu Palace Las Americas will be closed for renovations from July 19m 2027, through Nov. 27, 2027.  While there are currently no details about the exact nature of the renovations, it is assumed that the scope would be similar to the renovations recently done to Riu Palace Peninsula–all guest rooms redone, public spaces redone, some restaurant changes, pool areas updated, and the addition of an Elite upgraded category which means some private areas reserved for Elite guests.

Since I will be in the Riviera Maya over Day of the Dead, or Dia de los Muertos (officially Nov. 1 for deceased children and Nov. 2 for deceased adults), I found a video which helps explain what this celebration is all about for Mexican people.  In all the times I’ve visited different locations in Mexico I have never been there at this time of year to witness how the Mexican people celebrate their lost loved ones.  During these dates I will be at Grand Riviera Princess and am looking forward to observing their celebrations and altars.  If you want to see some of my videos and pictures of Day of the Dead or my upcoming trip in general, just visit my Instagram account, allinclusivegal starting Oct. 27.

Below is a video done by Passport Pages on their picks for the top 10 all-inclusive resorts in Cancun and the Riviera Maya.  Even though they don’t mention it, I believe their choices may include only the properties they’ve stayed at (I do the same thing when I list my own favorites) so take that into consideration with all the great properties out there.

Here’s A Look At The Newly Renovated Riu Palace Mexico…

Riu Palace Mexico recently reopened on Sept. 19, 2026, after an extensive renovation.  Thank goodness the purple, silver, and pink colors are gone and replaced with a much more soothing color scheme as well as the tubs being removed from guest rooms.  I walked over to this resort years ago when I was staying at Riu Palace Riviera Maya and spent half a day exploring the property and its amenities (Riu guests can visit other nearby Riu resorts within their category–Palace guests can visit other Riu Palace and non-Palace resorts and non-Palace guests can only visit other non-Palace Riu resorts).  It’s basically across the road from Riu Tequila so if you wind up booking the Riu Palace Mexico property don’t forget you can walk over and enjoy their Friday evening Neon and White parties.

Vacation plans now set in place for my next trip to Mexico…I will be celebrating Halloween and Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) in Mexico.  I will be staying at Riu Palace Peninsula  to check out their new renovations, and Grand Riviera Princess to check out their renovations as well as how resorts typically celebrate Mexico’s famous “Day of the Dead” which is honored every year on Nov. 1 and 2nd.  This is a budget-friendly resort vacation since I am planning on an upcoming move and as all individuals realize, a mover’s budget is paramount in making financial decisions.  Hopefully spring 2027 will bring some extra cash flow to enjoy my lovely luxury resorts…
