It’s a “5 O’Clock Somewhere” State of Mind at Margaritaville Island Reserve

Margaritaville Island Reserve Riviera Cancun is Karisma’s first partnership with the Jimmy Buffett hotel brand–I believe it is the very first Jimmy Buffett all-inclusive resort anywhere. This resort used to be known as Azul Beach Resort (Azul is Karisma’s family-friendly resort brand name); the resort reopened after a huge renovation but unfortunately it reopened right before the pandemic hit.  It has been a slow start for them, but it looks like they are finally settling into their resort “groove”.

During my most recent Mexico trip, I stayed at both TRS Yucatan and Catalonia Royal Tulum.  While I have already posted my room video from TRS Yucatan, here’s the room video from the adults-only all-inclusive resort I stayed at when I first arrived in Mexico–CRT, as it is often called.

If anyone is interested in a video of my room category at TRS Yucatan, here’s a look at the great Jr. Suite Private Pool Garden View I had at this resort.  I would definitely recommend it, there is plenty of space for two individuals with the added plus of your own small pool to enjoy with all the hot weather there is during the summer months in this part of Mexico.

For those of you who haven’t seen the video yet of the Grand Palladium fire which occurred a couple of weeks ago, I thought I’d post it so you can get an idea of how quickly a palapa roof fire can burn at a Mexico resort and potentially spread to other structures.  Seeing this video makes me realize how lucky it was that no one was hurt and no other significant structures were burned beside the lobbies.

No, I didn’t already recently post about this AI-optional resort–that was the Krystal Cancun.  This is its family-friendly “sister resort” right next door to the north and it’s called Krystal Grand Punta Cancun.  It has also been known in the past as Reflect, while some third party wholesalers may currently list this resort as Krystal Grand Cancun, or even  “Altitude By Krystal Grand Punta Cancun” which refers to certain upgraded room types (Altitude rooms).  It’s all the same resort, but it can be confusing.
