For those of you interested in the brand new Ocean Allure Costa Mujeres, I found a lengthy but comprehensive video about this resort with an emphasis on upgraded Privilege amenities. (And by the way, my upcoming reservation is for a Privilege room, so the info was helpful in understanding just what is available with this upgrade).
This short video will give you an idea about what the lobby looks like at the brand new Majestic Mirage Costa Mujeres. It also has a brief view of some other resort areas and some info about resort arrival.
Hyatt Zilara Cancun has been closed for a complete renovation since April 2025. It was supposed to open April 2026 but that date has been altered somewhat.
For those of you curious about the newly reopened Secrets Playa Mujeres, here’s a quick look at the completely revamped Preferred Club Lounge and adjacent area.
For anyone interested in this brand new resort, here’s a short video showing some highlighted areas of Majestic Mirage Costa Mujeres. I will be staying here in May so I’m looking forward to checking out what appears to be a beautiful property with lots of amenities…
Iberostar Selection Riviera Cancun, not to be confused with Iberostar Selection Cancun which is located in Cancun’s Hotel Zone, recently opened its doors after a rather lengthy period of being in limbo after a guest death when it was a Karisma resort. TAFER bought it and put $ in it, but rather quickly sold it to Iberostar who put some more $ in it and opened its door to families and adult vacationers alike in late 2025.
In terms of total transparency, I haven’t yet stayed at either of these two newer resorts but they are definitely on my “to do” list. I do know from emails sent to me that many vacationers are interested in which of these resorts to choose for their next vacation.
For those of you who’ve already stayed at Valentin Imperial Riviera Maya, you already know that this resort is a beautiful adults-only property located on a great stretch of beach north of Playa del Carmen. It has one of the largest resort pools in the entire area and couples usually rave about their stay with many of them being repeat visitors. If you are looking for a larger resort that has more of a Mexico (think Mexican Colonial) feel than contemporary architecture this may be your next vacation home away from home.
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).
