Oceanfront Master Suite at Hyatt Ziva Cancun

Posted on by

It’s Friday and time for another suite review!  This time I’m highlighting the family-friendly Hyatt Ziva Cancun located in the Punta Cancun area of the Hotel Zone.  Punta Cancun is unique in that it is the very northeastern tip of the Yucatan peninsula; given the resort’s location on the end of this “tip”, Hyatt Ziva is surrounded on three sides by the beautiful Caribbean Sea.  The resort has two swimmable beaches (the calm west beach and the more potentially dangerous east beach with its rip tides and dangerous currents), three infinity pools, eight restaurants, six bars, an on-site dolphin interaction program, and an on-site microbrewery which produces three home beers.  Hyatt Ziva Cancun has a great location since it is a 5-10 minute walk to all Cancun’s famous clubs as well as to a smaller mall (Plaza Caracol).

Hola; it’s Friday and time for another room category review!  I’m highlighting the Preferred Club Jr. Suite Ocean View at Secrets the Vine located in Cancun’s Hotel Zone.  Secrets the Vine is a great adults-only resort situated between two other popular and well regarded all-inclusives, Hard Rock Hotel Cancun and Sandos Cancun Lifestyle Resort, all facing the beautiful Caribbean Sea.  This area of the Hotel Zone is representative of the Cancun that most people see in media–turquoise sea, miles of white sandy beach, and breathtaking views from chic resorts and beachfront pools.

It’s Friday again and time for a new room category review!  This time I’m highlighting the Private Pool Casita Suite at the adults-only El Dorado Casitas Royale.   This resort is located in the Riviera Maya about 25 min. south of the Cancun airport.  The resort is directly adjacent to its sister resorts, El Dorado Royale to the south, and Generation Riviera Maya to the north, and has full access to all amenities at El Dorado Royale.  While the Casitas Royale has always been a good choice for couples who are celebrating a special occasion such as a honeymoon or anniversary, single adults may also appreciate the resort’s luxurious atmosphere and extra-large suites.

Balcony Jacuzzi Suite With the Best Cancun View

Posted on by

Time for another suite review!  This time I’m highlighting the Jacuzzi Suite at Riu Palace Peninsula which is located in Cancun’s Hotel Zone on the top of the “7”.  Riu resorts are some of the best four-star all-inclusive properties which give you the most “bang for your buck”.  Since this is a Riu Palace resort (an upgraded Riu property), you will have access to all Riu resorts in the area.  Don’t forget to visit the Riu Caribe located adjacent to this resort; it’s also easy to take a bus down to the Riu Palace Las Americas and the Riu Cancun if you want to see what they look like as well.

I’ve decided to do something a bit different–I will be posting at least one video a week of a specific resort suite category which I believe deserves mention.  Most of these videos are not mine since I’m assuming followers of my blog have already seen many of the room video’s I’ve already taken (if you haven’t seen them, you can view them on YouTube under the Allinclusive Gal name).  Don’t worry, they aren’t all Presidential Suites–after all, who can afford one of those every time you go on vacation–but there might be one or two I will slip in for fun.

If you haven’t checked out Vacation Couple’s drone videos, you should.  They are “ambassadors” (social media promoters) for Air Canada Vacations and have gone to some beautiful resorts shooting great videos wherever they go.  Check out this one of Hotel Xcaret Mexico, one of my all-time personal favorite resorts.

Just wanted to let everyone know that the brand new Haven resort is now open for business in the Puerto Morelos area.  I found this video of an oceanfront Jr. Suite–the video of the room really starts at about 1:30 into it and is very thorough in terms of room amenities.  Take a look–would you stay here?

Once we finished our stay at the Caribe’s swim-up suites, we moved over to the Palace for the rest of our stay.  Here’s a short video of our room in the Oaxaca building–it’s a Premium level Jr. Suite with pool view.  What do you think of this room?
