If anyone follows vloggers/frequent videos out about resorts, there are a few that currently stand out in terms of quality and thoroughness. My personal favorites are the following: 3 Days 3 Noches, Coolist, Memories and Mojitos, Christine Turner, Where We Going Next, and the Flip Flop Traveler.
Finally have my full itinerary for my next solo trip to Cancun later this spring (April 28-May 7).
I just saw a post on Instagram stating that Secrets Playa Mujeres opened for business again on Jan. 2, 2026 after a very lengthy renovation where the resort has been fully closed since April 15, 2025. Here is a short list of what’s been renovated: Continue reading
This new Riu resort is on my list for my May 2026 trip–Hotel Riu Ventura just opened a couple of weeks ago and already hit 75% occupancy rate prior to high season Christmas stays, so you can be sure that this one is a highly desired family-friendly property. That kind of occupancy rate is almost unheard of in the all-inclusive resort market for soft openings (the first 3 months it’s opened).
I found another video which just came out highlighting amenities at the brand new Ocean Allure Costa Mujeres. This one’s done by a solo traveler, Roland Baker, and he does a pretty good job of giving viewers a look into what’s available at this property.
The brand new Majestic Mirage Costa Mujeres just opened last week and has some awesome suite categories. If you’re a fan of suites with private plunge pools with a view, check out the Mirage Club Plunge Pool Suite Oceanfront. I believe this is the same type of suite I already booked for my next trip in May 2026!
Hotel Mousai Cancun opened in 2024, but some of you may not know the extent of this resort’s suite amenities. This is a luxury adults-only property with only 88 suites and let’s not forget it is an all-inclusive optional resort. That means the pricing you see advertised may be for the European meal plan, so make sure you are looking for the “Gourmet Culinary Meal Plan”. This property is part of the LVX Preferred Hotels and Resorts group.
For those of you following the newly opened Ocean Allure Costa Mujeres, here’s a new video done by Dennis and Teia Travels which highlights various amenities of this adults-only resort, including Privilege upgrades.
I just took advantage of the Majestic resorts offer of up to 60% off…I booked a stay at the brand new Majestic Mirage Costa Mujeres for the first part of May 2026 staying in a Mirage Club Plunge Pool Suite Oceanfront. That would be the adults-only section of this all suites family-friendly resort and with its own small private pool. When I walked by this property on my daily beach treks when staying next door at Riu Latino it appealed to me so I’m going to check it out. Anyone who follows my blog and knows my vacation interests knows that swim-up and plunge pool rooms are my favorites so I’m looking forward to enjoying my 1,000 sq. foot suite all by myself (that should be enough room for one, right?? lol). I would highly suggest that if anyone is thinking of booking this new Majestic resort to check out their discount. I got my suite for a steal of a deal and couldn’t pass it up.
There are a lot of new resorts just opening or have recently opened within the last week. Well, here’s another one–Ocean Allure Costa Mujeres. It’s a brand new H10 property and is located between Secrets Playa Blanca and Riu Palace Costa Mujeres in the area north of downtown Cancun.
