New Room Category Review–Private Pool Casita Suite at El Dorado Casitas Royale

It’s Friday again and time for a new room category review!  This time I’m highlighting the Private Pool Casita Suite at the adults-only El Dorado Casitas Royale.   This resort is located in the Riviera Maya about 25 min. south of the Cancun airport.  The resort is directly adjacent to its sister resorts, El Dorado Royale to the south, and Generation Riviera Maya to the north, and has full access to all amenities at El Dorado Royale.  While the Casitas Royale has always been a good choice for couples who are celebrating a special occasion such as a honeymoon or anniversary, single adults may also appreciate the resort’s luxurious atmosphere and extra-large suites.

Balcony Jacuzzi Suite With the Best Cancun View

Time for another suite review!  This time I’m highlighting the Jacuzzi Suite at Riu Palace Peninsula which is located in Cancun’s Hotel Zone on the top of the “7”.  Riu resorts are some of the best four-star all-inclusive properties which give you the most “bang for your buck”.  Since this is a Riu Palace resort (an upgraded Riu property), you will have access to all Riu resorts in the area.  Don’t forget to visit the Riu Caribe located adjacent to this resort; it’s also easy to take a bus down to the Riu Palace Las Americas and the Riu Cancun if you want to see what they look like as well.

Uber Again Operational In Cancun

Want the typically cheaper option of Uber while in Cancun?  This transportation service will once again be available starting June 6, 2019 after being suspended for over a year.  While a Mexican federal court ruling is responsible for its reinstatement, cab drivers and their representatives vow that the fight is not over, so Uber availability may once again change.  Don’t be surprised to see more blockades and physical resistance by the local cab drivers.
