Even though it’s been several months since Sun Palace reopened after its $40 million renovation, there haven’t been too many videos of what the resort looks like post-renovation. I found one which gives a look at some of the public spaces and their changes as well as a brief glimpse of the overall look of the suites.
Bahia Principe has closed the Tulum resort in its megaresort complex, Bahia Principe Riviera Maya, for several months now in order to complete a thorough renovation. The work is almost done and the resort is getting ready to reopen November 15, 2020.
For those of you familiar with the newest Royalton resort, Royalton Suites Cancun which is located in the Hotel Zone, please be aware that this resort will be changing to adults-only when it reopens on Oct. 29, 2020. Its new name will be Royalton CHIC Suites Cancun Resort and Spa.
It’s about time, I finally got around to uploading my last resort video to YouTube and here it is. This was my Inspira Jr. Suite Swim-Out at Atelier Playa Mujeres during my stay in August 2020 during COVID. Upgraded Inspira suites are located near the lobby, but it’s not that big of a deal to walk down to the pool area and beach using the wooden walkway which meanders through the grounds and flora.
The last time I posted a video of Dreams Natura, I believe it still was listed under its previous name, Now Natura, with several of its major amenities not completed. Now that it is reopened, there are new videos coming out showing the resort in its entirely with new amenities completed (water slides, lazy river, and rollglider).
Don’t forget to follow my Instagram account, allinclusivegal, as I travel later this week to Atelier Playa Mujeres. Afterwards I will be staying at Riu Palace Peninsula, so it’s a two-fer.
While Royalton Suites Cancun originally opened in Feb. 2019, the parent company has already decided to switch it from a family-friendly to adults-only all-inclusive resort starting “sometime this fall” (I have not run across the exact opening date yet). The new name will be Royalton Chic Suites Cancun–“Chic” is a particular sub-brand of Royalton’s depicting luxury adults-only resorts, not just adults-only sections like the Hideaway at Royalton Riviera Cancun in the Riviera Maya.
Here’s another in my series of budget all-inclusive resort suite reviews. This time I’m highlighting the family-friendly GR Solaris Cancun, a resort on the east side of the “7” in Cancun’s Hotel Zone. This resort is very popular with families looking for four star resort amenities at a very affordable price.
Here’s another budget, family-friendly all-inclusive resort in the Riviera Maya which offers great deals many times throughout the year. It’s called BlueBay Grand Esmeralda, and it’s located north of Playa del Carmen. While not classified as a mega-resort, BGE has 979 rooms and suites, three pools (no swim-up bar, however), two buffets and six a la carte restaurants, a sports bar (no A/C), six bars including a beach bar with swings, theater, tennis courts, jogging trail, spa and gym, motorized and non-motorized water sports, and kid’s club. Since the resort is large, it also offers golf cart service to take you around the resort if you wish.
Looking for more affordable all-inclusive resorts in Cancun? Here’s a family-friendly all-inclusive optional resort just north of downtown Cancun on the way to Playa/Costa Mujeres beach areas. It’s the All Ritmo Cancun Resort and Waterpark (which used to be called Sea Adventure Resort and Waterpark); it changed its name two years ago, but most of what the resort has to offer has not differed in any significant manner.
