If you are tracking what’s going on with the newly opened Secrets Playa Blanca Costa Mujeres, you will know that pools are plentiful, ocean views are gorgeous, and business is kind of slow right now, but that is as expected for a newly opened resort that has already made it known that some of their amenities won’t be open until June.
As part of my latest solo trip to the Riviera Maya I stayed at Wyndham Alltra Playa del Carmen. This Wyndham is an adults-only resort with a convenient location to 5th Avenue, PDC’s clubs, and famous Mamita’s Beach Club. It also has an affordable price point for those looking for a very good all-inclusive at a reasonable price.
In case you are not aware, I traveled to the Riviera Maya Dec. 2023 on a solo trip and stayed at 3 resorts–Wyndham Alltra Playa del Carmen, Secrets Tulum Resort and Beach Club, and Hyatt Zilara Riviera Maya (the old Secrets Capri).
With the closing of the family-friendly Estudio section of Atelier Playa Mujeres, management decided to revamp parts of the resort to make it more in line with the Atelier adults-only atmosphere. (Atelier accepts guests age 16+). As a result, there are a few new room categories which were added including the following: Continue reading
Now that the new Secrets Tulum Resort and Beach Club has opened, expect to see an increasing number of videos about this luxury all-inclusive resort located in the heart of Tulum. That in and of itself is a rare thing since the only all-inclusive currently in existence within the town of Tulum is Kore Tulum.
This brand new Secrets resort, Secrets Tulum Resort and Beach Club, will be opening Oct. 12, 2023. The parent company has allowed the release of a sneak peek of the 5 bedroom Beachfront Villa.
I recently posted about the all-inclusive resorts closest to Tulum and Playa del Carmen. Here’s a closer look at one of them within easy walking distance to Playa del Carmen’s famous 5th Ave.–the family-friendly re-branded resort called Wyndham Alltra Playa del Carmen.
There are more videos coming out now about Secrets Impression Isla Mujeres besides showcasing the rooms (although the video posted below also includes a room tour). After viewing this video done by Marc G I have one question–where’s the waterslide?? My understanding is that there was supposed to be one which traversed from the main level and exited into the ocean by the pier. So I don’t know if it is not completed yet or just wasn’t included in this video…
This new Margaritaville Island Reserve Riviera Maya all-inclusive resort is a beauty! Take a look at a new video done by 2 Getaway Travel agency showing the grounds and the Land Shark Brewery…I noticed the beach wasn’t shown but that might be because of sargassum or something is not done yet in that area of the resort.

Goodbye spa, hello new 2 Bedroom Presidential Overwater Bungalow! The Palafitos overwater bungalow section has gotten rid of its private spa area to make way for their brand new 2 bedroom suite. In case you don’t know the overwater bungalow general layout, it’s shaped like a “T” with regular overwater bungalows nearest the beach on both sides of the pier, and Elite overwater bungalows nearest the end of the pier where the horizontal part of the “T” is…the new bungalow is all the way to the right at the end of the pier.
