Interested in the renovation of what used to be known as Secrets Silversand? Here’s a new video by Christine Turner of an Oceanfront Suite (looks like a Jr. Suite) at the rebranded Hyatt Ziva Riviera Cancun.
Take a quick look at a video highlighting several areas of the new Nickelodeon resort including the Lair Suite–the suite looks very nice with lots of room and a large swim-up pool.
This Nickelodeon resort just opened Aug. 1, 2021; it is located next to Generations Riviera Maya north of Playa del Carmen. While there still isn’t much out there as far as videos of the resort, I did find this one which highlights the water park and what appears to be a Swim-Up Oceanfront King Suite.
During my most recent Mexico trip, I stayed at both TRS Yucatan and Catalonia Royal Tulum. While I have already posted my room video from TRS Yucatan, here’s the room video from the adults-only all-inclusive resort I stayed at when I first arrived in Mexico–CRT, as it is often called.
If anyone is interested in a video of my room category at TRS Yucatan, here’s a look at the great Jr. Suite Private Pool Garden View I had at this resort. I would definitely recommend it, there is plenty of space for two individuals with the added plus of your own small pool to enjoy with all the hot weather there is during the summer months in this part of Mexico.
Planet Hollywood Cancun has finally opened, but it looks like it’s off to a slow start. There appears to be only one a la carte open (probably due to low occupancy), in-room liquor dispensers are empty, beers don’t appear to be in the mini-fridges yet (see video below), while I read that the spa, convention center, and one a la carte restaurant are still being finished.
I recently stayed at Dreams Riviera Cancun resort located just outside of Puerto Morelos in the Riviera Maya (resort review yet to follow). There’s not much out there showing the actual suite’s amenities, so I made a video of the room for those interested in this room category.
Interested in what the rooms are like at the relatively new Dreams Natura? Here’s a video I made of an upgraded Jr. Suite with an ocean view. Balcony Jacuzzis at this resort signal a room upgrade.
It’s about time, I finally got around to uploading my last resort video to YouTube and here it is. This was my Inspira Jr. Suite Swim-Out at Atelier Playa Mujeres during my stay in August 2020 during COVID. Upgraded Inspira suites are located near the lobby, but it’s not that big of a deal to walk down to the pool area and beach using the wooden walkway which meanders through the grounds and flora.
My last blog post was about the spider monkeys at Sandos Caracol, so I decided to do a suite review of the resort as well. Sandos Caracol is a well-regarded eco-resort located just north of Playa del Carmen in the Riviera Maya. It has close to 1,000 guest rooms and is very spread out, so be prepared to walk. The good thing about its size is that guests get to experience nature since only 30% of the resort property has been developed–this factor results in frequent spider monkey sightings since parts of the resort are situated in the middle of the surrounding jungle and mangrove sections. Animals also seen on the grounds include agoutis, the ever popular coatis (watch it, they will steal your food if you’re not careful), and let’s not forget the local cats (strays here have access to food, water, shelter, and veterinary care since Sandos works with Coco’s Animal Welfare). The resort has a Mini-Farm (a small on-site petting zoo) with donkeys, chickens, and rabbits, but personally I’d much rather seek out the chance encounter with monkeys.
