A Beautiful Resort But Too Much Meandering–Resort Review of TRS Yucatan

I vacationed as a solo traveler to TRS Yucatan from July 11-17, 2021.  As many of you are aware, TRS Yucatan is the adults-only section of the mega-resort, Grand Palladium Riviera Maya, also consisting of the GP White Sand, GP Colonial, and GP Kantenah resorts in addition to the TRS Yucatan.  While I stayed six nights at this beautiful mega-resort complex, it wasn’t nearly enough time to become familiar with all the amenities outside of TRS Yucatan.  This resort review will therefore cover TRS Yucatan amenities as well as several major amenities from the other GP resorts as well.

Travel and Leisure’s Top 25 Resorts in Mexico

This year’s World’s Best Awards Survey done by T&L brought some interesting results for Mexico.  Lots of Cabo places on the list (interesting because Cabo beaches are black-flagged in many areas (unswimmable–injury or death “imminent” if you enter the water), some for Puerto Vallarta (understandable, it’s a beautiful area surrounded by jungle and mountains), Ixtapa/Zihuatanejo (I’ve only been to the Ixtapa Club Med and that area was very nice), one for Acapulco (Acapulco is too crime-ridden to risk it in my opinion), and a few for Cancun/Riviera Maya.  Here are the ones listed for Cancun and the Riviera Maya; not all are all-inclusive.
