How About This For a Rooftop Suite?

I have mixed feelings about rooftop suites.  On one hand, they can be such a great way to get a bird’s eye view of the resort as well as an increased possibility of getting an ocean view even though one hasn’t booked something oceanfront.  On the other hand, I would hesitate booking a rooftop suite during the height of summer because of the need to limit daytime use of the space–rooftop suites, unless they have great shade built into the rooftop area, can be incredibly hot during Mexico summers.

Gorgeous Suites at La Casa de la Playa

Here’s a quick video of an example of the beautiful suites at the brand new La Casa de la Playa in the Riviera Maya.  This boutique resort has only 63 suites and is located next to Hotel Xcaret Arte which just opened several months ago.  While the resort’s website still states that the opening date for La Casa de la Playa occurred on Dec. 13, 2021, I’m still not positive that its doors are currently open for business.  I will do more checking to find out and post another resort video tomorrow.

Here’s a Newer Video of the Brand New Breathless Cancun Soul

I’m back from my impromptu cruise vacation visiting Costa Rica and the Panama Canal–I’ve never been to those locations before and needed a break so why not?  The cruise was just what I needed–use the at home Abbott tests, they are easy to administer and you get COVID results in 15 minutes (most cruise lines these days require a negative COVID test up to 2 days prior to sailing).  I had an extra test so I used it when I got home and the results were negative–no bringing home COVID from my cruise.

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 Finally Open–Take a Look at a Swimout Suite

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.
