If anyone is interested in a video of my room category at TRS Yucatan, here’s a look at the great Jr. Suite Private Pool Garden View I had at this resort. I would definitely recommend it, there is plenty of space for two individuals with the added plus of your own small pool to enjoy with all the hot weather there is during the summer months in this part of Mexico.
Well, I’ve seen the videos so I have no choice but to believe it. The brand new Nickelodeon Riviera Maya resort by Karisma is finally open August 1, 2021 after many years of postponements. It offers a 6-acre water park with 20 water slides, rooms for families of five, access to 20 Nickelodeon characters, six restaurants, three bars, and an oceanfront infinity pool.
Whenever I do a solo trip, something inevitably weird or rather amusing happens with respect to traveling by myself. I was wondering whether any other females, or males, for that matter, have had their own “experiences” with solo travel–if you do, please feel free to comment below.
The soft opening is definitely happening!! There’s a new video of Hotel Xcaret Arte which shows several resort areas including the beach–as in any new resort opening, construction is being completed (I see from the video that some construction is going on in one of the guest room buildings). Looks a LOT like Hotel Xcaret Mexico including the main pool, views from the lobby area to the main pool and beach, river as part of the resort grounds, architecture, design, etc. Opening date for this resort was July 1.
For those of you who haven’t seen the video yet of the Grand Palladium fire which occurred a couple of weeks ago, I thought I’d post it so you can get an idea of how quickly a palapa roof fire can burn at a Mexico resort and potentially spread to other structures. Seeing this video makes me realize how lucky it was that no one was hurt and no other significant structures were burned beside the lobbies.
Maybe someone can fill me in on the details, but when did The Reef resorts become all-inclusive optional?? I’m thinking it must have been a couple of years ago when this company left my resort radar…regardless, if you are looking for an all-inclusive option for your next vacation, let’s do a quick rundown of The Reef Playacar to see if this may be the right one for you.
I just read that Riu Tequila reopened June 1!!! Many have been eagerly awaiting this reopening since there are many fans of this resort. While it’s not on the beach (it’s actually across the street), it has more of a party atmosphere and attracts lots of fun loving guests.
I actually wanted to find a video of how the new resorts are doing which are planning on opening within the next month, but as is typical of this area and new resort info there is not much out there–it’s like resort companies believe they are selling state secrets by giving away some teaser info.
Looks like the Beach resort section at the Barcelo Riviera Maya mega-resort will be reopening soon. It is the last of the six resorts at this location to reopen since being closed due to COVID. Rumor has it that it will open tomorrow which is sooner than initially posted.
Riu posted that their resorts, for the time being, will not be serving lobsters, clams, or oysters. This is being done with respect to an order from the Mexico Secretariat of Agriculture and Rural Development–from how I understand it, there is a time of year when capturing certain marine life is banned in order to avoid endangering the species overall. (If someone has a better explanation, please let me know).
