I found this YouTube video by Palm Leaf Travel to be interesting and informative in comparing two popular Hotel Zone all-inclusive properties which are family-friendly–Hyatt Ziva Cancun and Grand Fiesta Americana Coral Beach Cancun. Both are located at the northeast corner of the “7” (Cancun’s Hotel Zone is literally shaped like the number 7) at Punta Cancun.
Royal Resorts added another resort/beach webcam at their new family-friendly all-inclusive, Royal Uno. I like this one because you can see a lot of the actual resort property in addition to what the beach conditions generally look like.
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.
If you are a fan of all-inclusive resorts plus a Hyatt Hotels and Resorts member, you will certainly celebrate this chain’s immersion into the all-inclusive market. While some Hyatt resorts are fully all-inclusive, resorts like the family-friendly Grand Hyatt Playa del Carmen are now all-inclusive optional, meaning that when booking you can choose the all-inclusive package–simply booking this resort doesn’t automatically mean you can eat and drink without an extra charge.
I think that the Excellence brand is one of the best when it comes to all-inclusive resorts in Cancun and the Riviera Maya in Mexico. Two of the most popular resorts in these areas are Excellence Playa Mujeres (EPM) and Excellence Riviera Cancun (ERC). Both are highly ranked in TripAdvisor review ratings, and both deliver a quality of customer service which earns many repeat guests.
I posted an article about this water park a couple of years ago, then COVID hit and everything shut down in Mexico and elsewhere. Well, Jungala is up and running and ready to welcome guests at this awesome water park!
I typically post about all-inclusive resorts that have opened or about to open, but just thought I’d give readers a heads up on the status of the new Margaritaville St. Somewhere by Karisma opening up March 1, 2022 on Holbox.
Here’s a fun, short video of the coastline area from Playa del Carmen south to Sian Ka’an Biosphere. At this point in my travels to the area I recognize so many resorts and beach areas in the video; it makes me more nostalgic but still so enjoyable to see my home away from home!
Looking for an alternative adventure park to visit in the Riviera Maya? Check out Selvatica which is located along Ruta de los Cenotes just north of Puerto Morelos.
When Hyatt took over Secrets Silversands, they not only renovated the resort but they also added a water park. The water park is comprised of two sections–one for little ones with smaller waterslides, and the other section with lengthier waterslides for both kids and adults. The water park is located on the south side of the resort.
