Resort Baby Club Summary…

After quite a bit of time spent scouring resort Kid’s Club offerings, here’s a summary of which Cancun/Riviera Maya all-inclusive resorts cater to babies.  That doesn’t mean this is an exhaustive list by any means, but it is a good place to start if you want to travel to this area of Mexico with a very young one.  I have written a separate blog post about each one of these resorts and their baby-friendly amenities, so check out those older blog posts if you are interested.

Best Water Park in Cancun…

All of these constant oven-like temperatures at my home in southern CA have me thinking of water parks; more specifically, water parks in Cancun and the Riviera Maya since I view that area as my second home, lol.  (One of my friends recently asked me why I don’t just buy a condo there…of course, a condo doesn’t cook for me, pour me a drink, clean up automatically after me, or make my bed so I much prefer staying at an all-inclusive resort…)   While there may  be more upscale water parks in the area (think Jungala at Vidanta resort in the Riviera Maya), there is one very large amusement park south of the Hotel Zone in Cancun called Ventura Park which offers much more than pools and waterslides.

Royal Uno Cancun Beachfront Suite

The Royal Uno Cancun just opened this summer but there have been few posted videos highlighting the accommodations.  I found one which shows one of the suites I have been particularly interested in, the Beachfront Suite With Plunge Pool.  It’s actually a one-bedroom Master Suite with a separate bedroom, two Murphy beds in the living room, and a very large terrace with its own small pool (it looks like a separate Jacuzzi is part of the pool) with several full loungers and a hammock with an unobstructed ocean view.  Very nice; perfect for families with two children.

No More Tourist Card Needed At The Cancun Airport?

There is a pilot program currently underway which involves getting rid of the infamous “Tourist Card/Visa” which vacationers from outside of Mexico have had to present to Immigration when you get off the plane at the Cancun airport.  Well, from what I understand it involves those who currently reside in Mexico, temporarily or otherwise, but I’m primarily interested in what tourists need to enter/exit Mexico.

Grand Palladium One Of The Best For Baby Clubs…

I already posted about the Baby Club at the Grand Palladium in the Riviera Maya, so let’s not forget its sister resort, Grand Palladium Costa Mujeres.  This resort is located north of downtown Cancun outside of the Hotel Zone and also just north of the gated community of Playa Mujeres.  I stayed at the adults-only section, TRS Coral, back in Jan. 2019, so if you want to find out more about this resort as a whole you can click this link.
