One of my favorite vloggers, New Travel Escapes, has put out a video giving her time-honored lessons learned about looking for and booking an all-inclusive experience. The video below highlights adults-only properties, but there are quite a few items mentioned that could also apply to finding family-friendly resorts as well.
Here’s an interesting video I found on YouTube by The Rope Monster…as most vacationers and wanna be vacationers to the Riviera Maya know, sargassum has hit hard this season already–and it’s not even August/September when the seaweed blight of the Caribbean is at its peak! This video highlights Caleta Tankah, a combo beach club and cenote experience just north of Tulum. It also offers 25 guest rooms for those who want to extend their stay.
I’ve now stayed at enough resorts with lazy rivers to know when I come across a good one–and when I come across one which is advertised as a lazy river when it’s not really one at all. And the best one I’ve experienced is (drum roll) the Blue Lagoon Grotto Bar and lazy river at Planet Hollywood Cancun.
Does the thought of dining on fresh fish cooked to order over open flames appeal to you? It certainly does to me, and nothing better to eat while on vacation. I can remember dining this way while staying in the Greek islands many years ago and jump at the chance to relive the deliciousness of this type of dish when vacationing elsewhere–like in Mexico while staying at an all-inclusive resort, of course.
While I’m all into catamaran sailings when on vacation, I do admit this video really tempts me to take a private sailing trip to the beautiful island of Isla Mujeres from Cancun.
Now that I have a grandchild I am more aware of child-friendly all-inclusive resorts–after all, I plan on taking my grandson on some of my future trips!! Kid’s Clubs and child-friendly resort amenities are so important for vacationing families…one of the most frequently asked questions I receive relates to family-of-five or more resort guest rooms, water parks, and better resort Kid’s Clubs.
FYI: This is a blog post I already sent out back in 2021, but it still applies to how I pack today.
Hotel Mousai Cancun is a brand new luxury adults-only all-inclusive resort. Even though it only has 88 suites, it offers a rooftop pool area. More and more new resorts are including this kind of space–maximizing views while offering a smaller version of a main pool experience.
Say you’re staying a week at an all-inclusive resort in Cancun’s Hotel Zone…and you realize you are getting bored just laying around poolside, bellying up to the swim-up bar, and eating like there’s no tomorrow. What do you do?
Atelier Playa Mujeres and Excellence Playa Mujeres are two of the most popular adults-only luxury all-inclusive resorts in Cancun. People are always recommending one or the other (or both) when answering questions about which resorts in this part of Mexico are the best…When I’ve stayed at various resorts and gotten into conversations with other guests about their favorite places to vacation, one or the other typically comes up in that conversation.
