Impressive Impression Suites at Zoetry–A Suite Review

If you’re in need of a totally Zen vacation with lots of spa and wellness options topped off with a layer of luxury and pampering, then you’ve got to try the relatively new (since 2018) Impression section of the “adults-oriented” Zoëtry Paraiso de la Bonita in the Riviera Maya (while the resort allows children, there are literally no specific amenities or services geared towards teens/children)..  The Impression section was added just south of the spa and consists of nine large villa-like suites with plunge and infinity pool options, access to its own saltwater pool, two private restaurants and bars, access to a private chef, butler, private beach section, in addition to accessing all the amenities of the rest of the resort.

Ocean View Suite at the Hyatt Zilara Cancun–A Suite Review

While Hyatt entered the all-inclusive resort scene fairly recently, they have done an outstanding job of providing top-notch properties and amenities for both adults and families.  Hyatt Ziva properties are family-friendly, and Hyatt Zilara properties are adults-only.  Cancun’s Hotel Zone offers both–this suite review will focus on Hyatt Zilara Cancun.

Another Great Video of the New Barcelo Maya Riviera

Found another great video of the new adults-only Barcelo Maya Riviera.  The public spaces look great–the lobby looks very huge and impressive!  I also liked the large entertainment stage, hopefully they won’t have a Michael Jackson tribute show which almost every Mexican all-inclusive resort puts on. Ughh.  The spa video, however, looks like the main spa over at the Colonial, I will have to see whether this resort has a smaller version.

Grand Velas–The Best of the Best?

I’ve stayed at some great resorts in my day, but Grand Velas Riviera Maya remains one of the most beautiful all-inclusives I’ve ever seen.  From the world-renowned spa (voted by Forbes as one of the 30 most luxurious spas in the world), to its acclaimed dining at Cocina de Autor, this resort epitomizes what a luxury vacation should be.

EDSS Oceanfront Pool Swim-Up Suite–A Suite Review

If you’ve ever been to the family-friendly Generations Riviera Maya or seen pics of that resort, the adults-only El Dorado Seaside Suites infinity section will look awfully familiar.  Each floor in the infinity section has its own pool which traverses part of the floor (you can swim along its length and make friends as you go), while the bottom or ground floor of the infinity section gives you access to the entire main pool and swim-up bar.  The room you book depends on what you prefer–the Oceanfront POOL Swim-Up Suites access the main pool, the Oceanfront Swim-Up Suites (non-main pool access) are on lower and mid-floors and some will give you stellar ocean views, while upper floor rooms in the infinity section are reserved mostly for rooms in the Oceanfront Honeymoon Suites category. Even if you’re not a Honeymooner, you can still book the room category but you will pay more for the extra amenities and fantastic views.  If you’re not a Honeymooner, I would book that category for an anniversary or if you want to impress someone very special.

Xhale Club Master Suite Upgrade at Breathless Riviera Cancun–A Suite Review

For those adults looking for a more high energy all-inclusive resort in the Riviera Maya, check out Breathless Riviera Cancun.  It’s located about 15 min. south of the Cancun airport and consists of three resort sections–the Xcelerate “Party Zone”, Allure, and the more quiet Xhale section with upgraded amenities including its own pool and restaurant, Kibbeh.  Breathless resorts are part of the AMResorts family (Secrets, Dreams, Now, and Sunscape resorts) which means a more upscale resort experience.

I found this short but sweet video of public areas and water sports available at this Club Med.  It also gives more of an idea how the resort is situated amidst water.  Enjoy!
