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.
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.
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?
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.
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!
Want to take a look at Riu Palace Las Americas renovations which were completed the latter part of 2016? Watch my latest resort video and tell me what you think of the renovation.
Take a look at Royal Hideaway Playacar from a drone’s perspective–this was taken prior to the renovations, so a few outdoor spaces may look a tad different here than what the resort currently looks like (re. Deck and Grill outdoor space specifically). Have you been here since the completion of the renovations, and, if so, how does it compare?
Another resort drone video, this time it’s a brand new one! If you are a fan of the mega-resorts Grand Sunset Princess or Grand Riviera Princess, take a look.
The Vacation Couple’s newest video of their trip to Dreams Playa Mujeres is up on YouTube; for those of you booked into the Preferred Club Master Suite Swim-Out Ocean View or the merely curious, have a look.
Here’s some of the reasons why Mexico is one of the greatest places to take a vacation. Any questions???!!!
