Waldorf Astoria and Conrad Tulum Resorts Offering An Optional All-Inclusive Plan…

I just posted the other day about how Conrad Tulum was extending their optional all-inclusive meal plan until the end of 2027…looks like their “sister” resort, Waldorf Astoria Riviera Maya, is now implementing its own optional plan and continuing it for the same amount of time.  Since both are owned and operated by Hilton, it looks like the initial experiment with this option was so successful at the Conrad that they decided to expand it to other luxury resorts within that particular portfolio.  It just shows how all-inclusive resorts have really changed their reputation over the years to be an extremely viable and desirable vacation choice for all income categories.

Panchito–No More Mr. Nice Guy???

I wrote a blog post Nov. 2024 about Panchito the “friendly” crocodile who resides in Casa Cenote which is located between Akumal and Tulum.  Up to this time, Panchito has been pretty chill about allowing visitors into his home and habitat…but no more.

And Now The Paradisus Playa Del Carmen…

The last blog post I made covered Paradisus La Perla, the adults-only section of this Paradisus resort complex located in the Riviera Maya.  The video posted below by LeadByLivingTravel primarily covers the family-friendly side, Paradisus Playa del Carmen, including the upgraded Family Concierge section and amenities offered at this property.  This side of the resort used to be referred to as La Esmeralda but was changed to Paradisus Playa del Carmen during 2020–the entire complex is now referred to as Paradisus Playa del Carmen.

Curious About The Upgraded Reserve Section And Paradisus La Perla In General?

I’ve had my eye on this adults-only resort for quite some time but there’s always been factors in place which have made me postpone a stay here (re. new resort openings, beach quality, etc.).  Some of my blog readers have emailed me about whether or not upgrading to The Reserve at Paradisus La Perla is worth it and unfortunately I could not speak from firsthand experience since I’ve never stayed here.

Now That You’ve Seen The Water Park, Here’s The Resort…

If you’ve seen my post from yesterday highlighting Aqua Nick (the water park on the grounds of Nickelodeon Hotels and Resorts Riviera Maya), perhaps your curiosity about the resort itself has been piqued.  If you have children who like certain Nickelodeon characters or, if like me, your adult children used to watch Nickelodeon characters during their allotted TV time, the video below may bring up certain memories or help your children more fully engage in having fun while on a family vacation.  I know I would dread the infamous statement “I’m bored” while on a family vacation, and here’s a setting which would hopefully provide assurance this phrase would never enter a conversation.
