Some Major Changes Happening With Oasis Hotels and Resorts…

I generally don’t tend to follow Oasis Hotels and Resorts, so I missed their recent changes entirely until I began seeing new video snippets of The Sens Cancun which looked very much like Grand Oasis Palm.  So that you have an idea of where this resort is located, Grand Oasis Palm and Oasis Palm are adjacent to one another and are both situated towards the western end of Cancun’s Hotel Zone by the pirate ship excursion and Cancun’s Scenic Tower.  I’m still trying to put these changes together in a coherent fashion, so if there are any readers out there that know more about this resort change than I do, please chime in and let me know where I may be assuming something or have left out something important.

Grupo Xcaret has announced a new addition to their All-Fun Inclusive offerings–a catamaran cruise!  My understanding is that the catamaran leaves from La Casa de la Playa (the resort immediately to the north of Hotel Xcaret Arte), but right now I can’t seem to find out more information about the details.  The new catamaran cruise is for all guests of Hotel Xcaret Mexico, Hotel Xcaret Arte, and La Casa de la Playa, all Grupo Xcaret properties.

For those interested in what cosmetic changes have been made to the Omni (now known as the Wyndham Grand Cancun), here’s a video which does a good job of summarizing the resort’s amenities and features.  I wish the videographer would have showcased one of the villa suites since I think it’s always been one of this resort’s best draws.  Glad to see Wyndham still kept the sushi station and the beachfront swim-up bar area!

The title to this blog post is rather misleading since there obviously is no secret to getting a room upgrade.  If there were, we would all eventually be in on the secret and all get our dream room for a fraction of what we would normally pay.

There is a pilot program currently underway which involves getting rid of the infamous “Tourist Card/Visa” which vacationers from outside of Mexico have had to present to Immigration when you get off the plane at the Cancun airport.  Well, from what I understand it involves those who currently reside in Mexico, temporarily or otherwise, but I’m primarily interested in what tourists need to enter/exit Mexico.

The fully renovated Royal Uno, which used to be the Royal Caribbean, is supposed to open tomorrow on June 28, 2022.  If I’m not mistaken I believe the resort is near the Omni Cancun and the Cancun museum in the southern part of the Hotel Zone.
