Kind of in a rush to get to work this a.m. so I’m not going to say much except here’s a video on what the brand new SLS Playa Mujeres looks like…it was supposed to be a Melia property (Paradisus Playa Mujeres) but that never opened, so here’s what it looks like with new owners.
In case you’re wondering what the rooms look like at SLS Playa Mujeres, here’s a short video done by Shoreline Destinations to show you! This seems to be a Captivate Swim-Out King room category; interesting concept with the short walk to the actual swim-out pool and the very private terrace. I can’t tell for sure, but it looks like the bathroom area may be able to be closed off entirely by a sliding door.
Isla Mujeres is just a short ferry ride away from Cancun–there are several ferry piers within Cancun’s Hotel Zone as well as two in the area just south of Playa Mujeres, so it’s fairly easy to get over to that small island.
I guess SLS Playa Mujeres owners found something in the fine print to overturn the Mexican government’s denial of entry to the resort due to safety risks–some issue with the entrances and exits…They officially opened and let in their first guests yesterday.
Finally, A quality video about what this brand new adults-only luxury resort has to offer. If you are interested in luxury Cancun all-inclusive resorts, here’s the latest the area has to offer.
SLS Playa Mujeres opens mid November 2025. If you were expecting a Paradisus resort, forget it, it’s now an SLS property.
I’ve been wondering for several years what was to become of Paradisus Playa Mujeres. I parasailed over it, read about it, saw pics and videos about it, but it never seemed to officially open. While I don’t know exactly what happened behind the scenes, it looks like Meliá has sold this property (it is no longer advertised as a Meliá property on their website), and instead this resort will open Nov. 15, 2024, as SLS Playa Mujeres.
Is anyone else interested in Excellence Coral Playa Mujeres which is currently under construction? I certainly am. Excellence, in my opinion, is one of the best brand names when it comes to vacationing at an all-inclusive resort (Finest resorts is the family-friendly option for this brand). They don’t skimp on anything, generally have great food, in-room liquor, top-class amenities–what’s NOT to like…
Hotel Mousai Cancun is a brand new luxury adults-only all-inclusive resort. Even though it only has 88 suites, it offers a rooftop pool area. More and more new resorts are including this kind of space–maximizing views while offering a smaller version of a main pool experience.
For those of you familiar with Secrets Tulum, you already know that this resort is not located on the beach. You have to take a 20 min. shuttle ride from the main part of the resort to reach their beautiful beach club which is now referred to as Zamna Beach Club.
