FYI: The resort appears to now be open as of Dec. 28th, 2019. There are several reviews on TripAdvisor and other travel wholesaler sites.

Another Suite Category Review–Swim-Out Jr. Suite at The Haven
The Haven Riviera Cancun is a resort that has been on my radar for quite some time; however, the price point (when I’ve checked) resulted in a “no bueno” vote when it came to booking. If anyone sees any great deals for this resort please let me know, I’d love to jump on the chance! Here’s what I believe to be the resort’s selling points: Continue reading
For Those Interested in the Rebranded Now Emerald Cancun…
Now Emerald Cancun used to be called Grand Oasis Sens–it is located on the east side of the “7” in the Hotel Zone. While some renovations were made, the resort itself looks very similar with cosmetic changes and re-naming of public spaces. The resort opened with its re-branded name in June 2019 and is fully operational at this point.
New Barceló Maya Grand Resort Map
Here’s a new map of the Barceló Maya Grand Resort with the addition of the new adults-only section (Barceló Maya Riviera) which is scheduled to open Dec. 2019. 850 rooms, four pools, five restaurants, five bars, a new convention center, plus access to the rest of the entire resort. I’m going late Feb. 2020 and staying in a swim-up suite–can’t wait to see it and the rest of this great resort. I have my favorite hangouts which I discovered on my trip here July 2018, and looking forward to adding more favorites to my list!
New Adults-Only Section at Barcelo Maya Grand Resort
The plan is still on for the new adults-only section of the Barcelo Maya Grand resort to open either this Dec. 2019 or Jan. 2020. Those who visit the wonderfully informative site of Unofficial Barcelo Maya take note–there is a newer entry dated Dec. 2018 by Phil in Ottawa (look in the discussion section) that has recent pics of what the construction looks like. If you haven’t yet registered to post/respond in the discussion section, it is worthwhile to do so since you can then ask questions and get info from vacationers who have spent multiple trips going to this resort and are quite knowledgeable.
TRS Coral Hotel Loft Suite Video
I recently returned from the new TRS Coral Hotel in the Costa Mujeres area north of downtown Cancun. While I am writing up my resort review you can take a look at a video of the room category I stayed in–a beautiful Loft Suite. What do you think, would you stay in this suite?
TRS Coral Hotel Ticks Most Adults-Only Boxes
Adults looking for more luxurious, upscale allinclusive options in Cancun and the surrounding area should check out TRS Coral Hotel, part of the brand new Grand Palladium Costa Mujeres resort complex located north of downtown Cancun. TRS Coral is already a member of The Leading Hotels of the World which is quite rare for a new hotel. The resort is comprised of three sections including the general Grand Palladium section, Family Selections section, and the TRS Coral Hotel (adults-only). TRS guests can choose to spend their entire vacation in their adults-only section, or they can explore the entire Grand Palladium property. While TRS guests have access to the entire resort, adult guests staying at the Grand Palladium section cannot access the TRS section. Adults staying at the upgraded Family Selections section also have access to TRS Coral Hotel amenities including complimentary Chic shows. The current resort is just Phase 1 of construction, look for an even larger resort when it is fully completed.
New Valentin Resort Approved
Fans of the adults-only Valentin Imperial Riviera Maya, take heart–final approval has been given for the completion of the originally planned complex conditionally approved back in 2005. While only the Valentin was built and eventually opened in 2007, the rest of the originally planned complex consisted of two additional resorts (745 guest rooms in the second resort and 704 guest rooms in the third). The second originally planned resort is supposed to be called Valentin Playa del Secreto and will be located north of Playa del Carmen. No official opening date has yet been set.
Haven Riviera Cancun Oceanfront Jr. Suite
Just wanted to let everyone know that the brand new Haven resort is now open for business in the Puerto Morelos area. I found this video of an oceanfront Jr. Suite–the video of the room really starts at about 1:30 into it and is very thorough in terms of room amenities. Take a look–would you stay here?
Hotel Xcaret Mexico Suite Video
In case you haven’t taken a look on YouTube at my oceanfront adults-only suite I had during my stay at Hotel Xcaret Mexico, here it is. Casa Fuego building is the way to go!
