Wyndham has opened its first Alltra all-inclusive resort in the Riviera Maya. It used to be a Panama Jack resort before the buyout, so it’s not a brand new build. It has a perfect location in Playa de Carmen–just on the south edge of famous 5th Ave for shopping, dining, bars, and nightlife, and walking distance to the Cozumel ferry.
Here’s another new all-inclusive resort to keep your eye on. Paradisus Playa Mujeres was supposed to open in 2019, then 2020, then 2021, now it is scheduled to open sometime in spring 2022. (Like the new Nickelodeon resort, I will believe it when I see it). At least they are giving hard hat tours, so that’s got to amount to something positive in terms of near completion. I believe it is located between Villa del Palmar and The Beloved in the Playa Mujeres beachfront area north of downtown Cancun. I parasailed in this area during my Aug. 2020 stay at Atelier Playa Mujeres; if you go to the thumbnail pics at the end of the blog post, it is the first thumbnail in the 5th row down. Just click on the thumbnail to get a larger picture of this resort.
Interested in the newest Grupo Xcaret properties? Hotel Xcaret Arte has already opened, and on-time, while the neighboring property, Casa de la Playa, is still slated to open Dec. 2021. The drone video below shows a bit of the shoreline for both properties; looks like there is limited space to enter the water at Arte–at least the water color is beautiful now that the sargassum issue has abated for the season.
This is just an FYI blog post, some or many of you may already know about it but I thought I would post the info for those who don’t have a clue (like myself) that this ability exists.

For those who don’t mind staying in an adults-only section at a family-friendly all-inclusive resort, check out the Adult Scene section at the new Planet Hollywood Cancun. This PH resort opened earlier this year and offers so many amenities around the entire property…lazy river, water park, FlowRider, grotto bar, trampolines, multiple pools including a separate pool at the Adults Scene section, sports bar, 12 restaurants at no extra cost–two of which are at the Adult Scene section, and a way to upgrade within the Adult Scene upgrade (Adult Scene guests can upgrade to Star Class; Adult Scene guests who upgrade to Star Class have full access to everything on the property with the exception of timeshare/vacation club member benefits/amenities).

One of the things I’ve found to be outstanding about the rebranded Hyatt Ziva Riviera Cancun is the number of food and drink options available. There are at least seven restaurants serving a variety of meals (some serve a more buffet style breakfast and lunch while serving a la carte dinners with a specific theme), four various smaller food “shops” serving a small number of specific food options, and some bars which serve both drinks and snacks. There are also “pop-up” food stations as well.
