Looking For More Details About Sensira Resort?

I never hear or read much about this all-inclusive resort–maybe I’m not looking in the right places.  Sensira Resort and Spa opened without a lot of fanfare or social media coverage in 2021 and has slowly built a fan base with its many amenities.  Trip Advisor ratings are mostly good with an average score of 4.7 out of 5–in TA terms, that equates to an “excellent rating”.

Some Major Changes Happening With Oasis Hotels and Resorts…

I generally don’t tend to follow Oasis Hotels and Resorts, so I missed their recent changes entirely until I began seeing new video snippets of The Sens Cancun which looked very much like Grand Oasis Palm.  So that you have an idea of where this resort is located, Grand Oasis Palm and Oasis Palm are adjacent to one another and are both situated towards the western end of Cancun’s Hotel Zone by the pirate ship excursion and Cancun’s Scenic Tower.  I’m still trying to put these changes together in a coherent fashion, so if there are any readers out there that know more about this resort change than I do, please chime in and let me know where I may be assuming something or have left out something important.

New Royalton Splash Video…

Royalton Splash Riviera Cancun just opened and YouTube has its first complete video out!!  Looks like the resort has a lot to offer families including the large water park, two lazy rivers, separate younger children’s water park, three story kids club, bowling (yay!), trampoline area, and laser tag.  Given the info on the video, only half of the water park is open until Feb. 2023, so take note that if you stay here prior to that not all amenities will be open…sadly, pretty standard these days for new resort openings.
