My Stay at Atelier Playa Mujeres During COVID–A Resort Review
My Air Travel Experience to/from Cancun During COVID
I recently returned from my Cancun trip and thought it might be informative to those thinking of traveling to Mexico to know what the experience was like. This particular blog post will cover the air travel part of the trip.

Don’t forget to follow my Instagram account, allinclusivegal, as I travel later this week to Atelier Playa Mujeres. Afterwards I will be staying at Riu Palace Peninsula, so it’s a two-fer.

Select Club Penthouse at Sandos Caracol–A Suite Review
My last blog post was about the spider monkeys at Sandos Caracol, so I decided to do a suite review of the resort as well. Sandos Caracol is a well-regarded eco-resort located just north of Playa del Carmen in the Riviera Maya. It has close to 1,000 guest rooms and is very spread out, so be prepared to walk. The good thing about its size is that guests get to experience nature since only 30% of the resort property has been developed–this factor results in frequent spider monkey sightings since parts of the resort are situated in the middle of the surrounding jungle and mangrove sections. Animals also seen on the grounds include agoutis, the ever popular coatis (watch it, they will steal your food if you’re not careful), and let’s not forget the local cats (strays here have access to food, water, shelter, and veterinary care since Sandos works with Coco’s Animal Welfare). The resort has a Mini-Farm (a small on-site petting zoo) with donkeys, chickens, and rabbits, but personally I’d much rather seek out the chance encounter with monkeys.

Oceanfront Suite at Barcelo Maya Palace–A Suite Review
Barcelo Maya Palace is just one resort out of six in the mega-resort complex of Barcelo Maya Grand Originally, it was Barcelo’s premiere resort offering in Cancun and the Riviera Maya for many years. It continues to offer excellent food, attentive and friendly customer service, snorkeling for sea turtles right off the beach, a great kid’s water park, and one of the most massive main pools I’ve ever seen at a resort. Guests of the Palace have access to four of the remaining five resorts (the Beach, Caribe, Colonial, and the Tropical); the only resort Palace guests do not have access to is the brand new adults-only Maya Riviera at the other end of the complex. The Palace is not as close to the other resorts as one would think–take the resort shuttle or walk the beachfront walkway to other resort destinations. Taking the beachfront path makes a very relaxing stroll during the evening, especially if the moon is out with the sounds of the waves in the background.
