ABBWR Penthouse Room Tour
Time for another video tour of a room category which I believe deserves mention. This one will focus on the quaint all-inclusive with a lengthy name, Akumal Bay Beach and Wellness Resort (more commonly referred to as ABBWR) which is located right on Akumal Bay.
Excellence Playa Mujeres Suite Video Tour
I’ve decided to do something a bit different–I will be posting at least one video a week of a specific resort suite category which I believe deserves mention. Most of these videos are not mine since I’m assuming followers of my blog have already seen many of the room video’s I’ve already taken (if you haven’t seen them, you can view them on YouTube under the Allinclusive Gal name). Don’t worry, they aren’t all Presidential Suites–after all, who can afford one of those every time you go on vacation–but there might be one or two I will slip in for fun.
Is Xplor or Xplor Fuego More Your Style?
Xplor or Xplor Fuego? Too bad this is not the most difficult question to be answered in life. If you are going to the Riviera Maya and thinking of visiting the parks, it will be a question you will have to contemplate at some point.
Drone Video of Hotel Xcaret
If you haven’t checked out Vacation Couple’s drone videos, you should. They are “ambassadors” (social media promoters) for Air Canada Vacations and have gone to some beautiful resorts shooting great videos wherever they go. Check out this one of Hotel Xcaret Mexico, one of my all-time personal favorite resorts.
Akumal Bay Drone Video–With Buoys
I love drone videos of resorts since it gives me an overall view of the surrounding area as well as the resort’s general layout. Here’s a good video of Akumal Bay with its system of buoys to delineate where one can snorkel–my last visit to Akumal Bay in 2015 was before the “madness” started about beach access/snorkeling restrictions implemented by the Mexican government. While the new rules help keep the turtles less stressed, it can be confusing for snorkelers.
Drone View of Dreams Riviera Cancun
One doesn’t hear too much of Dreams Riviera Cancun anymore; it’s a great resort with beautiful guest rooms and lots of dining options. For those of you unfamiliar with the resort, or to those of you new to this particular Dreams resort, here’s a bird’s eye view of its layout and exterior amenities. What do you think?
How to Get Around Puerto Aventuras from the Dreams Resort
Here’s a short video of the environs of Dreams Puerto Aventuras Resort and Spa. It is hosted by Christine Turner, a travel agent who has visited the resort a multitude of times and produced many resort videos. The video shows approximately where the gated community of Puerto Aventuras is in relation to Playa del Carmen, as well as how to go about getting from the resort to the stores/restaurants and larger beach area in town.
Lazy River Video at Dreams Playa Mujeres
My son took this video with his GoPro at Dreams Playa Mujeres; it gives a pretty good idea of what the lazy river experience is like in the tube. Hope you like it!
