The brand new Majestic Mirage Costa Mujeres is now open…the Grand Opening date I believe is Jan. 15, 2026.  This resort is adjacent to the first resort from my most recent Cancun trip, Riu Latino.  It’s got a nice wide stretch of beach with many cabanas–I just posted a short video on my Instagram account which shows all the beach lounging options and brief glimpses of part of the property from one of my daily lengthy beach walks while on vacation.

Just in case you haven’t been following the saga about this resort, Iberostar Selection Riviera Cancun recently opened its doors a couple of weeks ago.  This property used to be a Karisma Azul resort, then after a Jacuzzi fatality Karisma sold it to Tafer, then Tafer sold it to Iberostar.  Complicated but it looks like Iberostar wants this to be a keeper.

Below is a video done by Christine Turner who is also a Canadian travel agent; the video shows what’s up at the brand new Hotel Riu Ventura.  For those of you who haven’t been following this new resort, it just opened a couple of days ago and is located on one of the most beautiful beaches in Cancun’s Hotel Zone (Playa Delfines).  Be careful of the surf in this area, I just read that lifeguards have been busy rescuing swimmers from rip currents so just use caution and respect beach flags–red means dangerous conditions, yellow means use caution, and green means calm surf.

Just returned from my most recent Cancun trip and my first resort, Riu Latino, was just south of this new resort (Ocean Allure Costa Mujeres).  When I was going to Riu Dunamar’s Neon party the bus drove past this one and it’s not that far from Riu Latino as well as Secrets Playa Blanca Costa Mujeres.  Here’s a short video of the Privilege Jr. Suite at Ocean Allure; hopefully more new videos will be coming out soon.

The other day I posted some info about my upcoming Mexico vacay when I will first be staying at Hotel Riu Latino, an adults-only property with its own water park.  I typically stay at several resorts when vacationing in this part of Mexico since I live on the west coast and feel like I have to make the most of my stay given the distance I travel to get to Cancun.
