Looking for nice adults-only accommodations in a family-friendly Cancun Hotel Zone resort? Grand Park Royal Cancun offers its Royal Tower adults-only section with a great location–within a mile of the clubs which means a long walk or an easy bus ride to evening fun!
For those of you who watched an encapsulated version of the Xcaret Mexico Espectacular show on their YouTube channel, it was quite fun, wasn’t it? Loved the Old Man Dance, especially when they took off their masks and….wait, I don’t want to ruin the fun. You will just have to tune in Sunday, May 3 at 8 pm (EST) on their Facebook page to see it again.
I stayed at Dreams Playa Mujeres several years ago in a Preferred Club Jr. Suite; if I ever return here, the Preferred Club Master Suite Swim-Out would be a great alternative to match my vacation favorites–a swim-up suite with lots of space plus an ocean view. Perfect.
Not that I want to torture anyone with beautiful views of the Riviera Maya, but here are some beautiful views of the Riviera Maya just made to torture us at a time we cannot travel…..But seriously, I miss this place!
Secrets Maroma has been a favorite adults-only resort in the Riviera Maya since it opened in 2008. Popular with honeymooners and those celebrating anniversaries, the resort is located on one of the most beautiful beaches in the world (voted as “Worlds Best Beach” for four consecutive years by the Travel Channel). The beach is exquisite with its white sand and azur-colored ocean water, calm waves for swimming, and underdeveloped surrounding area–there are only a handful of resorts (some are not all-inclusive) gracing lovely Punta Maroma.
Experiencing COVID-19 has certainly been an eye opener in many respects. Some issues have been expected but in a more concerted form, some issues are new. With the virus effecting most individual’s travel plans, it brings about the question which gained more exposure in 2016-2017–can individuals be addicted to travel?
Ocean Riviera Paradise resort has a lot to offer families–four main pools, three swim-up bars, 10 restaurants, 12 total bars, separate coffee and ice cream shop, sports bar, theater, disco, bowling alley, casino, spa, gym, and a children’s water park. It’s situated north of Playa del Carmen, so it’s an easy cab ride into town for some additional fun and shopping opportunities.
I was experiencing some nostalgia about Cancun and the beautiful beaches there and knew I couldn’t be alone in that, so I thought I’d post something to remind people of what’s to come!!
This particular Royalton resort has been open since 2015 and has gained the reputation as a great family-friendly place to vacation with a party-like atmosphere (the beach can be less than spectacular, but that is common in the Puerto Morelos area). Within lies a “resort within a resort” which is the adults-only section called the Hideaway . Both sections offer rooms that can be further upgraded which is referred to as the Diamond Club–Diamond Club offers butler service, upgraded in-room amenities, better room locations, etc. (check out the link above).
This adults-only resort is located in the Playa Mujeres area north of downtown Cancun. It’s within easy walking distance to its family-friendly sister resort, Dreams Playa Mujeres. One great aspect about this Secrets resort is that all guests have access to the adjacent Dreams resort–only upgraded Preferred Club guests have access to Dreams’ lazy river, however. Otherwise, Secrets’ guests can use all other Dreams’ facilities including the pools, bars, restaurants, even the water slides. (The easiest way to get over to the Dreams resort located to the south of Secrets is to take the beachfront path).
