Grotto Bar and Lazy River at the New Planet Hollywood Cancun

I thought this was an unusual amenity, so I decided to post a quick video I found which highlights both the Grotto Bar and the Lazy River at the brand new Planet Hollywood Cancun.  I’ve only run across one other resort grotto bar and that was at Dreams Playa Mujeres.  This one looks like you can float right up to the bar in your lazy river flotation device!  That will come in handy during Cancun’s hot summer months where you literally want to live in the water while on vacation.

Another New Secrets Addition…

Repeat guests to Breathless Riviera Cancun will notice that some parts of the resort are no longer available to them…what used to be the more quiet Xhale section on the south end of Breathless has now become the new Secrets Riviera Cancun with 164 suites, one private restaurant, Rosewater, which serves “Gourmet International Cuisine”, and a private pool and beach section.  Secrets guests have unrestricted use of the entire property, while Breathless guests cannot cross over to the Secrets section.  There are now two separate check-in areas given the new property setup.  I do appreciate the fact that one can now directly book all oceanfront swim-up suites throughout this resort; before the Secrets addition it was not clear how to do so in certain resort sections.

Video of Dreams Natura Spa Tour

While I’m not exactly a spa-type person, I do appreciate a beautifully designed, serene space.  The spa at Dreams Natura is just such a space.  It is innovative in that this spa includes several areas and amenities that are not typically included in your all-inclusive resort spa experience. Here is how it’s different and worth experiencing for yourself: Continue reading

A Quick View of Dreams Natura Beach

I’ve started to upload some of my resort videos from my latest trip to both Dreams Natura and Dreams Riviera Cancun.  This one is a quick look at why people may have been reading some poor resort reviews concerning Dreams Natura.  Yes, there is a massive mangrove jungle next to Dreams Natura and the Senator all-inclusive resort next door (the Senator is still under construction); the resorts here are quite a ways off the main road so the mangrove jungle is quite extensive.
