For those who don’t mind staying in an adults-only section at a family-friendly all-inclusive resort, check out the Adult Scene section at the new Planet Hollywood Cancun.  This PH resort opened earlier this year and offers so many amenities around the entire property…lazy river, water park, FlowRider, grotto bar, trampolines, multiple pools including a separate pool at the Adults Scene section, sports bar, 12 restaurants at no extra cost–two of which are at the Adult Scene section, and a way to upgrade within the Adult Scene upgrade (Adult Scene guests can upgrade to Star Class; Adult Scene guests who upgrade to Star Class have full access to everything on the property with the exception of timeshare/vacation club member benefits/amenities).

Attention travelers, if you have an acute case of beach withdrawal like I do right now, there is a cure–well, at least a temporary one.  Fly to Cancun and visit Maroma Beach in the Riviera Maya, it’s only about a 40-min. drive south of the Cancun airport.  Maroma Beach has won accolades from various travel media sources–the Travel Channel thought it noteworthy enough to put it within the top 10 spot in the World’s Best Beaches category several years running.
