I love Unlimited Vacation Club (UVC) videos, they give me a chance to work on my Spanish as well as check out all the details of a resort property. The latest one on YouTube covers the brand new Secrets Impression Isla Mujeres and it will let you in on all the minutiae general resort videos don’t tell you.
As i promised with my last post on deciding whether to visit Tulum or Playa del Carmen, here are the all-inclusive resort options with the easiest access to these very popular Riviera Maya towns.
It’s understandable that vacationers don’t want to waste time and/or money while on their trip–after all, that’s part of why I decided to start this blog in the first place. The more info you know about your vacation destination prior to your trip , the less likely you will be to waste your time or money. For those vacationers headed to the Riviera Maya and can’t decide between spending time and money daytripping to Playa del Carmen or Tulum, here’s a video done by Monkey Abroad to help you decide what’s best for you and/or your family.
I almost forgot to post about this piece of news. Now Emerald Cancun resort will be closing Aug. 1, 2023 for 10-12 months to do a complete renovation. It is expected to open summer 2024. Renovations will consist of a new building housing 118 new guest rooms, adding a theater, gym, and steakhouse restaurant, and completely renovating pretty much everything else on the property. I anticipate there will be no major changes to the main pool area, perhaps just retiling since everything else will be updated.
If you love techno music, then perhaps you already know about the famous (infamous) Afterlife electronic music festival. It is now a worldwide event with annual shows in Barcelona, Ibiza, and other international destinations including Tulum. The very first Tulum Afterlife event was held at Zamna cenote in Tulum in 2017, Jan. 4, 2023 was the sixth time the event has been held at the same Tulum location.
It looks like Royal Resorts (a major vacation club/timeshare company in Mexico) has been totally incorporated into Holiday Inn Club Vacations and gotten rid of a few more Cancun resorts.
Hey there, sorry for the lapse in posting but I was busy getting my music groove on in Vegas for a lengthy weekend. Loved Sammy Hagar and the Circle performance but HATED the 116° F temp…I love playing in Vegas but hate being literally baked there, lol.
Ever been at an airport or hotel/resort lobby desperately looking for a free USB port charging station for your device and all are being used? Perhaps you dodged a bullet unintentionally…
