If you enjoy resort guest rooms that have something special about them then how about this Preferred Club Master Suite Oceanfront Private Pool at the newly renovated Secrets Playa Mujeres?  Oceanfront sounds better than beachfront, so I certainly understand why they named it the way they did–regardless, it is gorgeous with lots of room, your own pool and ocean views, plus direct beach access via your own private steps and gate.  The bathroom looks like partial privacy, but the rest is oh là là!

For those of you familiar with the Excellence Collection resort brand, you may already be aware of the new luxury family-friendly property, Finest Riviera Cancun, set to open Feb. 11, 2027.  It’s located south of Puerto Morelos next to Dreams Jade–not a stellar stretch of beach but close to El Cid’s Marina for those of you who enjoy easy access to sports fishing opportunities and other water-related excursions. I stayed at Finest Playa Mujeres when it first opened (click here to see my resort review) and quickly discovered just how easily the Excellence brand sits towards the top of all-inclusive resorts based on the quality of their amenities as well as how their Finest resorts offers adults-only sections that truly feel like an adults-only resort stay.

Here’s an interesting video I found on YouTube by The Rope Monster…as most vacationers and wanna be vacationers to the Riviera Maya know, sargassum has hit hard this season already–and it’s not even August/September when the seaweed blight of the Caribbean is at its peak!  This video highlights Caleta Tankah, a combo beach club and cenote experience just north of Tulum.  It also offers 25 guest rooms for those who want to extend their stay.
