This new Riu resort is on my list for my May 2026 trip–Hotel Riu Ventura just opened a couple of weeks ago and already hit 75% occupancy rate prior to high season Christmas stays, so you can be sure that this one is a highly desired family-friendly property. That kind of occupancy rate is almost unheard of in the all-inclusive resort market for soft openings (the first 3 months it’s opened).
I found another video which just came out highlighting amenities at the brand new Ocean Allure Costa Mujeres. This one’s done by a solo traveler, Roland Baker, and he does a pretty good job of giving viewers a look into what’s available at this property.
The brand new Majestic Mirage Costa Mujeres just opened last week and has some awesome suite categories. If you’re a fan of suites with private plunge pools with a view, check out the Mirage Club Plunge Pool Suite Oceanfront. I believe this is the same type of suite I already booked for my next trip in May 2026!
For those of you following the newly opened Ocean Allure Costa Mujeres, here’s a new video done by Dennis and Teia Travels which highlights various amenities of this adults-only resort, including Privilege upgrades.
There are a lot of new resorts just opening or have recently opened within the last week. Well, here’s another one–Ocean Allure Costa Mujeres. It’s a brand new H10 property and is located between Secrets Playa Blanca and Riu Palace Costa Mujeres in the area north of downtown Cancun.
The brand new Majestic Mirage Costa Mujeres is now open…the Grand Opening date I believe is Jan. 15, 2026. This resort is adjacent to the first resort from my most recent Cancun trip, Riu Latino. It’s got a nice wide stretch of beach with many cabanas–I just posted a short video on my Instagram account which shows all the beach lounging options and brief glimpses of part of the property from one of my daily lengthy beach walks while on vacation.
Below is a video done by Christine Turner who is also a Canadian travel agent; the video shows what’s up at the brand new Hotel Riu Ventura. For those of you who haven’t been following this new resort, it just opened a couple of days ago and is located on one of the most beautiful beaches in Cancun’s Hotel Zone (Playa Delfines). Be careful of the surf in this area, I just read that lifeguards have been busy rescuing swimmers from rip currents so just use caution and respect beach flags–red means dangerous conditions, yellow means use caution, and green means calm surf.
Just returned from my most recent Cancun trip and my first resort, Riu Latino, was just south of this new resort (Ocean Allure Costa Mujeres). When I was going to Riu Dunamar’s Neon party the bus drove past this one and it’s not that far from Riu Latino as well as Secrets Playa Blanca Costa Mujeres. Here’s a short video of the Privilege Jr. Suite at Ocean Allure; hopefully more new videos will be coming out soon.
There are multiple new/rebranded/totally renovated all-inclusive properties which have just opened or will open within the next several months. It’s hard to keep track of them all, but if you want a quick look at them I have posted a video below which introduces you to the basics of what they have to offer.
If you’re interested in the completely renovated, rebranded Secrets Mirabel Cancun (it used to be called Now Emerald), here’s a video done by TomMae TV showing the highlights of this couple’s stay.
