I have been patiently waiting for a video to come out showing the new addition to Haven Riviera Cancun which opened Nov. 2022.  While the video is not comprehensive about the addition, at least viewers can see the new outdoor area. The video is not in English, so just mute it and enjoy the video without explanation.. I have been thinking about returning to Haven anyway since it is one of my new favorite resorts, such a burden (lol) to return and make a video about the new addition.

Just for fun, here’s a recent video highlighting what was named “Mexico’s Leading Hotel Suite” in 2017 by World Travel Awards.  It’s the Bret Michaels’ Suite at Hard Rock Riviera Maya, and it’s labelled on the website as the Rock Star Suite Oceanfront Two Bedroom With Personal Assistant.  It’s 9,000+ sq. feet on two levels, has two bedrooms, indoor and outdoor cooking/kitchen areas for resort staff to come in and make a meal, a pool table framed by the front end of a ’69 Camaro SS, media room, rooftop Jacuzzi and fire pit, exercise room with equipment, in-room liquor, the list of amenities goes on and on, and it’s all with an oceanfront view.

There are some major renovations and additions being completed at the adults-only Heaven section at Hard Rock Riviera Maya.  These include several new restaurants (Wai–Thai food, Umo–Mexican Yucatan food, and Faro which is not completed yet), a new pool, pool renovations, “beach” renovations (this resort has no actual beach access; instead it has a calm inlet with salt water and a man-made sandy beach), and the addition of swim-up rooms (Deluxe Swim-Ups are listed as Garden View, but some closer to the ocean may have a partial ocean view).

Grupo Xcaret has announced a new addition to their All-Fun Inclusive offerings–a catamaran cruise!  My understanding is that the catamaran leaves from La Casa de la Playa (the resort immediately to the north of Hotel Xcaret Arte), but right now I can’t seem to find out more information about the details.  The new catamaran cruise is for all guests of Hotel Xcaret Mexico, Hotel Xcaret Arte, and La Casa de la Playa, all Grupo Xcaret properties.

While some vacationers are content with the possibility of seeing monkeys and other wildlife while staying at their resort, others may want to intentionally schedule a visit to a wildlife sanctuary in order to ensure such encounters and learn a bit more about the animals they encounter on their travels.  There are only a handful of animal sanctuaries in the Riviera Maya for vacationers to see–here is some info in case you want to include a visit during your resort stay.

I admit it, I’m a beachaholic.  Can’t get enough of a great beach.  And Mexico has some very beautiful beaches which can rival the world’s best–Tulum and Cozumel, (as included in the video below), plus I would add east-facing Cancun Hotel Zone beaches, Playa Maroma and Xpu-Ha in the Riviera Maya as well.

Royalton Splash Riviera Cancun just opened and YouTube has its first complete video out!!  Looks like the resort has a lot to offer families including the large water park, two lazy rivers, separate younger children’s water park, three story kids club, bowling (yay!), trampoline area, and laser tag.  Given the info on the video, only half of the water park is open until Feb. 2023, so take note that if you stay here prior to that not all amenities will be open…sadly, pretty standard these days for new resort openings.

Let’s say you want to do something extra special to celebrate an anniversary, honeymoon, get engaged, or just generally impress your significant other?  Consider one of the more romantic all-inclusive resorts in Cancun, Beloved Playa Mujeres, part of the very well regarded Excellence Collection resorts.  This adults-only property states it’s a “couples only” resort, and they have done everything they can to create a luxury resort ambiance with plenty of opportunities for couples to spend quality time together; there are still plenty of opportunities to have fun and socialize with other guests as well if that is what is desired for a great vacation.
