In terms of total transparency, I haven’t yet stayed at either of these two newer resorts but they are definitely on my “to do” list. I do know from emails sent to me that many vacationers are interested in which of these resorts to choose for their next vacation.
If anyone follows vloggers/frequent videos out about resorts, there are a few that currently stand out in terms of quality and thoroughness. My personal favorites are the following: 3 Days 3 Noches, Coolist, Memories and Mojitos, Christine Turner, Where We Going Next, and the Flip Flop Traveler.
I found another video which just came out highlighting amenities at the brand new Ocean Allure Costa Mujeres. This one’s done by a solo traveler, Roland Baker, and he does a pretty good job of giving viewers a look into what’s available at this property.
For those of you following the newly opened Ocean Allure Costa Mujeres, here’s a new video done by Dennis and Teia Travels which highlights various amenities of this adults-only resort, including Privilege upgrades.
There are a lot of new resorts just opening or have recently opened within the last week. Well, here’s another one–Ocean Allure Costa Mujeres. It’s a brand new H10 property and is located between Secrets Playa Blanca and Riu Palace Costa Mujeres in the area north of downtown Cancun.
Just in case you haven’t been following the saga about this resort, Iberostar Selection Riviera Cancun recently opened its doors a couple of weeks ago. This property used to be a Karisma Azul resort, then after a Jacuzzi fatality Karisma sold it to Tafer, then Tafer sold it to Iberostar. Complicated but it looks like Iberostar wants this to be a keeper.
Below is a video done by Christine Turner who is also a Canadian travel agent; the video shows what’s up at the brand new Hotel Riu Ventura. For those of you who haven’t been following this new resort, it just opened a couple of days ago and is located on one of the most beautiful beaches in Cancun’s Hotel Zone (Playa Delfines). Be careful of the surf in this area, I just read that lifeguards have been busy rescuing swimmers from rip currents so just use caution and respect beach flags–red means dangerous conditions, yellow means use caution, and green means calm surf.
The other day I posted some info about my upcoming Mexico vacay when I will first be staying at Hotel Riu Latino, an adults-only property with its own water park. I typically stay at several resorts when vacationing in this part of Mexico since I live on the west coast and feel like I have to make the most of my stay given the distance I travel to get to Cancun.
I can’t believe my next Mexico vacay is in two weeks. It can’t come soon enough, I am so ready for a break. Does anyone remember “We Gotta Get Out of This Place” by the Animals?? That’s pretty much my current mindset. This vacay is another solo adventure so I get to do exactly what I want when I want! My first resort is Hotel Riu Latino which is an adults-only resort in the Costa Mujeres area north of downtown Cancun This resort opened in 2022 and it was the first adults-only Riu resort which had its own water park. I think it may still hold that honor to the best of my knowledge.
Oh to be a TA…some of them had a 2 hr. tour of the newly renovated and rebranded Secrets Mirabel Cancun. I guess that means that the resort is now accepting guests for their “soft opening”? Not sure about that since the TA’s only stayed for 2 hrs. and not overnight. Plus in the pics and videos I’ve seen there didn’t seem to be any guests, just resort staff tending to the TA’s.
