Hola and Buenos Dias! In case you were wondering why I haven’t done any recent blog posts, I just returned from my latest Cancun/Riviera Maya trip and was having so much fun I barely had time to post pics to my Instagram account! Stay tuned for articles related to this stay.
Grupo Xcaret has announced a new addition to their All-Fun Inclusive offerings–a catamaran cruise! My understanding is that the catamaran leaves from La Casa de la Playa (the resort immediately to the north of Hotel Xcaret Arte), but right now I can’t seem to find out more information about the details.

This is the second blog post about this subject matter; while my last post highlighted Finest Playa Mujeres‘ children’s spa services, this post will focus on a general listing of resorts in this area of Mexico which offer this type of service.
I believe I’ve just about exhausted reviewing resorts having rooms with a separate rooftop terrace…The only ones I may be missing are the following: the Reserve Rooftop Terrace Oceanfront Suite at Paradisus Playa Mujeres, but this resort hasn’t even opened yet, and the Ocean View Rooftop Master Suite at the newly renovated Hyatt Ziva Riviera Cancun–I don’t even know if this is a genuine rooftop terrace suite or just a large Master Suite (if any travel agents out there know about this one please let me know…)
I’m trying to finish my book on all-inclusive resorts by compiling various lists of resort amenities for easy reference–can you help a gal out and see if I’ve covered the resorts with water features???
If you’ve decided to stay at an all-inclusive resort, the next decision to be made for booking purposes concerns whether or not to upgrade your resort experience.
