The videos are finally starting to get posted for the brand new Hilton Tulum, an all-inclusive resort located on a bay between Akumal and Tulum which opened May 2022. At the present time it’s the largest all-inclusive resort under the Hilton brand with 735 rooms and suites, eight pools plus a kid’s water park, 13 restaurants, three bars, separate kid’s and teens clubs, and an on-site gym.
Another new resort opening I overlooked…The new Ventus Ha’ is a luxury hotel located in the midst of the mangroves right behind Ventus at Marina El Cid, while Ventus at Marina El Cid was added as an adjoining sister resort to Marina El Cid in 2017. The new Ventus Ha’ opened November 2021. All three are family-friendly; if you stay at the new Ventus Ha’ you have access to three resorts–stay at one play at three.
Here’s a swim-up option for those vacationers on a budget. You can still go to Cancun and stay in a swim-up suite without paying a fortune or going into debt. Cancun’s Hotel Zone has a great budget vacation option, Flamingo Cancun Resort. This family-friendly resort is located about a 20-min. drive north of the Cancun airport, and slightly over a mile from the popular La Isla Mall in the Hotel Zone. I put this resort in my “outstanding swim-up” list because most of these swim-ups are right on the beach, have ocean views (some room’s ocean views are partially obstructed by thick vegetation and palm/coconut trees), plus you have easy access to malls and the Party Zone in Cancun’s Hotel Zone.
I thought a great deal about whether or not I should add this swim-up Jr. Suite at Wyndham Alltra Cancun to my “best of” series and finally decided to highlight it since it has such awesome oceanfront views. The official name of the suite is the Jr. Suite One King Bed, Beachfront Infinity Swim-Up. Here’s the good and not so good features of this swim-up…
Wanna see what the new Secrets Moxche Preferred Club Jr. Suite Swim-Out Tropical View looks like? The video below will show you the room amenities. Looks like Secrets has added a wine fridge like other 5 star resorts like TRS Coral and TRS Yucatan, you will probably have to purchase the bottle but you can keep it cold for free…
I’m going to continue my “best of” series since I’m now back from my Mexico vacay–the current series, if you may remember, concerns swim-up/out suites.
FYI: I just got informed that the opening date for this resort is scheduled for Dec. 1, 2022.
Here’s a sneak peek of a Preferred Club room at the new Secrets Moxche Playa del Carmen. The resort is slated to open in just four days on the 18th…what do you think? Are you planning on staying here?
Here’s another rare type of swim-up–one that’s beachfront. I already posted about the beachfront swim-up at Dreams Sapphire, here’s one more with super easy beach access at Breathless Riviera Cancun. Note that both resorts belong to the AMR Collection. Breathless Resorts are typically marketed towards more affluent younger adults (ages 21+), but the young at heart could certainly have quite a party here as well. So if you are over age 40, don’t pass this resort by if you still like to have a good time while vacationing in a more boisterous resort atmosphere. FYI: The resort is divided into various sections–Secrets Riviera Cancun is on the south side, while the Energy section of Breathless is in the middle (it’s called Energy section but it’s more “tame”), while the actual party section is in the most northern section of the resort (the resort refers to it as the “freestyle zone”). The party section is where the pool parties are held, and this section is topless optional I believe. I know that the giant Jacuzzi has pretty much always been topless optional, but I think the party pool is as well. Please correct me if I am wrong, I would hate for someone to book this resort thinking they could go topless in the party pool then find out they couldn’t, kind of a bummer. If vacationers are looking for a wild, topless (and sometimes temporarily bottomless) resort atmosphere, book Temptation Cancun Resort in Cancun’s Hotel Zone. Breathless pales in comparison when it comes to a party atmosphere of that kind.
Mea culpa, I just ran across this rooftop terrace suite so obviously I had not mentioned it in my last series of highlighted rooms (rooftop terrace suites). So, let’s get to its wonderful amenities…
