Now vacationers to the Riviera Maya in particular have another option to shorten their transportation time to their resort once they land in Mexico…the Tulum airport is now officially open to international flights and that includes those coming from the US.
Where have I been? This is the first time I’ve heard of this new all-inclusive resort. It’s scheduled to open May 2024 and it’s called Hotel Mousai. According to Google maps, this new resort is located next to Garza Blanca in the Playa Mujeres area (PM is located north of downtown Cancun). Resort design reminds me of Miami Beach chic with colorful abstract art, luxury design and finishes, and the use of lots of textures and materials making it an inviting space.
This Marriott resort used to be called CasaMagna and it was an all-inclusive optional resort. It has been closed since March 2023, and it recently opened as an all-inclusive resort fully renovated from top to bottom. Not only is everything redone, but the resort added a small children’s water park area complete with a lazy river. Marriott Cancun is family-friendly and right on a beautiful beach in Cancun’s Hotel Zone.
For those of you interested in the luxury adults-only resort (age 16+), Atelier Playa Mujeres, there’s a brand new video out done by one of my favorite videographers, 3 Days 3 Noches (Blanche). She does a great job in her resort reviews by giving her audience a thorough overview of a resort property.
Better late than never…the much anticipated new waterslide opened today at Xplor Park in the Riviera Maya. It’s a 5-in-1 waterslide which contains four different stages of descent from 135 feet to a wave pool which will take 1 min. and 15 seconds. There are 4 visitors to a raft, and minimum height to ride is 4 feet 2 inches; minimum age to ride is 5. All riders must know how to swim. Best news is that this new ride is included in price of admission!
For those of you thinking of staying at Secrets Playa Mujeres in 2024, be aware that Hyatt has cancelled the planned renovations for this year.
I don’t typically travel to the Caribbean during hurricane season, but I have done it before and think it’s always a good idea to know what you may be facing if you book way in advance for travel to this area. I got stuck once in Cancun for one day due to a bad tropical storm, got rained out on one vacation (nothing but gray skies and rain), and when I visited my very first all-inclusive in Jamaica many (many) years ago I had predictable rain for 1 hr. every day after lunch. And my travel agent at the time never warned me that I was traveling during hurricane season…
Interested in the brand new adults-only Hyatt Vivid Grand Island resort in Cancun? This new resort is located on the Nichupté Lagoon side in the Hotel Zone, it’s not beachfront as most all-inclusive resorts are situated in Cancun. I wrote a prior post about this resort, you can read it by clicking here.
I haven’t posted since before I left my latest Mexico trip, so here’s a quick recap of changes I’ve noticed just from the trip I took Dec. 2023.
