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.
Not every traveler can afford a $5k+ vacation for two for a week at a luxury 5-star resort. So I’ve decided to do a series of suite reviews in Cancun/Riviera Maya all-inclusive resorts (or all-inclusive optional resorts) which will give you the most “bang for your buck” (vacation dollar/euro/peso, etc.).
Fiesta Americana Condesa Cancun resort in the Hotel Zone is part of the impressive Grupo Posadas hotel chain which also runs Live Aqua properties. If you know anything about Live Aqua resorts, you expect the Condesa Cancun to be something beyond the typical all-inclusive resort experience. A guest’s stay begins with entering the property under the impressive palapa roof which covers the lobby area (the palapa roof rises up to a height of 118 feet tall). One’s stay only gets better with the resort’s terraced pools which include cascading waterfalls, multiple poolside Jacuzzis, a beachfront swimup bar and small kid’s water park with slides, a separate beach bar, and varied dining choices including four a la carte restaurants, a sushi bar, poolside grill, ice cream shop, dessert carts, and poolside BBQ’s options. There is evening entertainment, and both younger children and teens have their own spaces for socializing and scheduled activities.
Looking for nice adults-only accommodations in a family-friendly Cancun Hotel Zone resort? Grand Park Royal Cancun offers its Royal Tower adults-only section with a great location–within a mile of the clubs which means a long walk or an easy bus ride to evening fun!
