The brand new Majestic Mirage Costa Mujeres is an all-suites luxury family-friendly resort located right next to Riu Latino in the Costa Mujeres area north of downtown Cancun. It has an adults-only section as well as amenities like its own water park. Take a look at the very short video below about what this amenity looks like…I’m pretty sure Majestic produced this video.
It’s impossible for me to keep track of every resort update in this part of Mexico, so here’s another surprise for me–Beloved Playa Mujeres has been doing a renovation in phases over the past year while it’s been open and now has some renovated rooms available (I believe they are still working on the Casitas and will continue to do so during 2026).
If anyone follows vloggers/frequent videos out about resorts, there are a few that currently stand out in terms of quality and thoroughness. My personal favorites are the following: 3 Days 3 Noches, Coolist, Memories and Mojitos, Christine Turner, Where We Going Next, and the Flip Flop Traveler.

That kind of occupancy rate is almost unheard of in the all-inclusive resort market for soft openings (the first 3 months it’s opened).
