For those of you who now look for my Friday suite review, mea culpa; sorry I’m late but work took precedence–who would have thought so many individuals needed documents at the same time?? Anyway, here’s a review for families out there who are searching for an upscale resort in the Riviera Maya not too far from Playa del Carmen. The Paradisus Playa del Carmen is a large property with two separate sections including adults-only (La Perla), and a family-friendly section (La Esmeralda). This review will focus on a Family Concierge One Bedroom Master Swim-Up Suite in the La Esmeralda section.

Video of Now Sapphire Riviera Cancun New Swim-Up Suite
This resort is just about ready to reopen its doors after a complete renovation which was done in stages; it is slightly behind schedule, and when I confirm a reopening date I will post it. (FYI: I just got confirmation as of Oct. 19 that the resort has now reopened).
Riu Palace Mexico Jacuzzi Suite Review
Thinking of going to an affordable all-inclusive resort in Mexico situated on one of Mexico’s best beaches? Look no further, Riu Palace Mexico may be the resort for you.
Drone Video of Valentin Imperial Riviera Maya
I believe the last drone video of Valentin Imperial Riviera Maya I posted was back in 2016, but I’m posting another just to remind everyone what a spectacular adults-only resort this really is–take a look at the video and tell me what you think.
Atelier Master Suite Review
FYI: Atelier no longer allowing Estudio guests to access the property for free. You will now have to pay extra to do so.
Drone Video of Barcelo Maya Grand Resort
This video was taken prior to the building of the adults-only section (Barcelo Maya Riviera), but it does show the rest of this mega-resort. The Barcelo Maya Grand resort is actually five (and soon to be six) resorts-in-one comprised of the Barcelo Maya Beach, Caribe, Colonial, Tropical, and the Palace resorts. I visited here in the summer of 2018, so if you want to read my review and see my pics you can click here.
Hard Rock Cancun Suite Review
I can’t believe it’s Friday again–time for another suite review. This time I’m taking a closer look at the one-bedroom Rock Suite Platinum at the Hard Rock Hotel Cancun.
A New Suite Review at The Fives
Larger families and groups traveling together often have a difficult time finding all-inclusives which can accommodate their entire party while allowing for sufficient space for everyone involved. The Fives Azul Beach Resort Playa del Carmen is a perfect choice to meet these specifications–suites come in a variety of bedrooms, from the standard type of room to three-bedroom suites with rooftop space. This resort is located close to Playa del Carmen in the Riviera Maya which also makes it easy to shop in Playa, take excursions to the many wonderful cenotes and parks in the Riviera Maya, or just stay on-site and enjoy what the resort has to offer. Karisma has spent over $40 million on renovations during the last several years which has included new guest room buildings, additional restaurants, a new Plaza area where guests can meet and mingle, and has also pumped sand into the ocean in their attempt to make a smoother ocean entry.
The New Palmaia Resort to Open In December 2019
FYI: The resort appears to now be open as of Dec. 28th, 2019. There are several reviews on TripAdvisor and other travel wholesaler sites.
Another Suite Review–UNICO 2087 Alcoba Oceanfront
Time for another suite review, on this occasion from the adults-only UNICO 2087 in the Riviera Maya. This is a five-star property and also a member of the Leading Hotels of the World (LHW); the resort has additional accolades including Travel and Leisure’s ranking of #7 out of 15 in the category of best Mexico Resort Hotels, in addition to ranking #3 in Conde Nast’s Reader’s Choice Awards in the category of best resorts in Eastern Mexico. The 2087 in its name comes from the resort’s latitude and longitude coordinates.
