It only took me over five months, but I FINALLY got around to posting my walk-through of the Finest Playa Mujeres resort which I visited July 2015. Life gets complicated. Here it is–enjoy! (Read my resort review by following this link).
Sea turtle lovers and luxury resort aficionados rejoice! The adults-only Secrets Akumal Riviera Maya, a five-star luxury all-inclusive resort which just opened its doors Nov. 4, 2015, has a front row seat and easy access to one of the most popular tourist attractions in the Riviera Maya–snorkeling with sea turtles in Akumal Bay.
I just got through publishing a new walk-through video of Secrets Akumal Riviera Maya resort on YouTube. For those of you who don’t visit that site, here is the video for your convenience. Let me know what you think of the resort!
I just posted a new video on YouTube of my Jr. Suite Swimout at Secrets Akumal Riviera Maya. For those of you who don’t visit that site, here is the video for your convenience. A follow-up video of a resort walkthrough will follow sometime today. Let me know what you think!
Although it’s supposedly the big grand opening day for Secrets Akumal, word is that the much awaited day has been postponed due to some last minute work which is being done to the reception area. Guests scheduled to stay at the Akumal are being sent to Secrets Maroma in the meantime. The resort is now scheduled to open Nov. 4. There is already a video which gives viewers an inside peek at different areas of the resort including guest suites and some balcony areas. Have a look, and leave a comment on what you think!
If you don’t have a FB account, here is a recent posting of the resort map for Secrets Akumal.
With all the hype about the new Finest Playa Mujeres resort I just had to check it out for myself. Following my visit to the lovely Riu Palace Las Americas I took a 35 min. taxi ride to this new resort–in fact, it’s so new that my taxi driver had to confirm its location with both the Riu doorman as well as the security personnel at the Playa Mujeres gate. Since the resort is located north of downtown Cancun and well out of the Hotel Zone district, my taxi had to go through two security gates–one at the entrance to the Playa Mujeres resort area, and the other more lengthy security check at the entrance to the resort itself. There is a third security checkpoint between the Playa Mujeres and the Finest Resort checkpoints, but this one was still under construction so there were no live personnel to ask me for identification. With the amount of time it took to actually enter the resort, I was beginning to think the queen of England was a guest as well–this is a very secure location, so guests can feel at ease about non-registered individuals roaming the property.
Karisma has done it again, but with even more amenities–an “all suite, all butler, all gourmet” beachfront resort in the heart of the Riviera Maya just 25 min. south of the Cancun airport called Generations Riviera Maya by Karisma. The newest Karisma resort is a six-story contemporary stunner with facilities to accommodate couples, wedding parties, and multiple families in their one-to-three bedroom connecting suites.
