Videos are now starting to come out after the Oct. 12 opening of Secrets Tulum Resort and Beach Club. Check out this one posted on YouTube by Happy Travel; it’s in Spanish, but the pictures tell the story.
For those of you looking forward to booking and staying at the reimagined Marriott CasaMagna (now called Marriott Cancun), press releases still stay “open early 2024” with no specific reopening date. According to what I’ve read since March 2023 when the resort closed for renovations, it was originally speculated to be open Feb. 15, 2024, but that date has not been set in stone since the website does not list that date. Also, do not confuse this resort from JW Marriott Cancun–Marriott Cancun is right next door to the south in Cancun’s Hotel Zone
There’s an awesome Secrets resort coming to the increasingly popular Costa Mujeres area north of downtown Cancun. While Secrets Playa Blanca had been scheduled to open Dec. 1, 2023, it has now been rescheduled to open Feb. 1, 2024. When I talked with a Secrets booking agent a couple of weeks ago who notified me of the cancellation of my Dec. reservation, he admitted that while Feb. is a tentative date of opening, that is not guaranteed either.
Looking forward to enjoying this new Secrets resort? I know I am; I will be enjoying all of its amenities this December. Secrets Tulum Resort and Beach Club is scheduled to open Oct. 12, 2023 and so far there is no hint of any delay.
This new Margaritaville Island Reserve Riviera Maya all-inclusive resort is a beauty! Take a look at a new video done by 2 Getaway Travel agency showing the grounds and the Land Shark Brewery…I noticed the beach wasn’t shown but that might be because of sargassum or something is not done yet in that area of the resort. Another new video by another videographer also does not show the beach…hmm. It’s almost a given that new resorts upon opening have yet to finish some of their rooms and/or amenities.

For those of you wanting to know the latest opening date for Margaritaville Island Reserve Riviera Maya, I have two for you…the email I read today from the brand stated it was June 1, 2023, and some travel agents are stating the new opening date is June 23, 2023.
FYI: The new opening date is scheduled for June 1, 2023.
For those of you who were looking forward to the opening of Margaritaville Island Reserve Riviera Maya please be aware that the date has changed to June 2023. Since there is no specific date in June mentioned, it is a possibility that the opening could be delayed further. You may want to book this resort for July/August 2023 to be on the safe side.
I have been patiently waiting for a video to come out showing the new addition to Haven Riviera Cancun which opened Nov. 2022. While the video is not comprehensive about the addition, at least viewers can see the new outdoor area. The video is not in English, so just mute it and enjoy the video without explanation.. I have been thinking about returning to Haven anyway since it is one of my new favorite resorts, such a burden (lol) to return and make a video about the new addition.
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.
