For those of you wondering about what exactly is included with the new Family Selection upgrade at Grand Palladium Kantenah, here’s a video about what the resort area and amenities look like. This new build and addition had its Grand Opening Dec. 2023.
I’ve had some inquiries about what the Beach Club is like at the brand new Hyatt Vivid Grand Island resort since the property is located by Nichupté lagoon–guests have to go elsewhere for the beautiful beaches Cancun is known for. Here’s a short video done by Life and Travel highlighting some of the Beach Club’s amenities–looks like two infinity pools (and what a view!), double loungers, wide and lengthy beach section, bar area, and a restaurant of some kind.

For those of you awaiting the opening of the brand new adults-only Hyatt Vivid Grand Island resort, it’s here! The resort opened its doors to guests April 1, 2024 and is ready to happily welcome you.
Now vacationers to the Riviera Maya in particular have another option to shorten their transportation time to their resort once they land in Mexico…the Tulum airport is now officially open to international flights and that includes those coming from the US.
Where have I been? This is the first time I’ve heard of this new all-inclusive resort. It’s scheduled to open May 2024 and it’s called Hotel Mousai. According to Google maps, this new resort is located next to Garza Blanca in the Playa Mujeres area (PM is located north of downtown Cancun). Resort design reminds me of Miami Beach chic with colorful abstract art, luxury design and finishes, and the use of lots of textures and materials making it an inviting space.
This Marriott resort used to be called CasaMagna and it was an all-inclusive optional resort. It has been closed since March 2023, and it recently opened as an all-inclusive resort fully renovated from top to bottom. Not only is everything redone, but the resort added a small children’s water park area complete with a lazy river. Marriott Cancun is family-friendly and right on a beautiful beach in Cancun’s Hotel Zone.
For those of you interested in the luxury adults-only resort (age 16+), Atelier Playa Mujeres, there’s a brand new video out done by one of my favorite videographers, 3 Days 3 Noches (Blanche). She does a great job in her resort reviews by giving her audience a thorough overview of a resort property.
Better late than never…the much anticipated new waterslide opened today at Xplor Park in the Riviera Maya. It’s a 5-in-1 waterslide which contains four different stages of descent from 135 feet to a wave pool which will take 1 min. and 15 seconds. There are 4 visitors to a raft, and minimum height to ride is 4 feet 2 inches; minimum age to ride is 5. All riders must know how to swim. Best news is that this new ride is included in price of admission!
For those of you thinking of staying at Secrets Playa Mujeres in 2024, be aware that Hyatt has cancelled the planned renovations for this year.
