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.
A couple of days ago I posted an article and a video link about Impression Isla Mujeres by Secrets (go back a couple of posts and read that article if interested). Today I’m going to post another Impression resort video by the same vlogger, 3 Days 3 Noches, only this time it’s about Impression Moxche by Secrets.
I’ve been curious about this property for awhile, especially the details about how guests arrive to the resort from Cancun. Now there’s a video that gives all the details I’ve wanted, and from one of my favorite vloggers, 3 Days 3 Noches.
Has anyone ever stayed at the Grand Hyatt Playa del Carmen? I believe at one time this was an all-inclusive optional family-friendly resort, and as of summer 2025 it now is an adults-only all-inclusive resort called Devossion by Live Aqua Playa del Carmen. The resort is supposed to have its grand opening Oct 15, 2025.
I found this recent review on YouTube about Viceroy Riviera Maya, a boutique luxury all-inclusive optional property. It only has 41 private villas and a couple of restaurants plus a spa, but it packs a punch in exclusive private villas with your own terrace plunge pool and outdoor shower.
I posted yesterday that I was seriously thinking about a final Cancun trip for 2025 in order to recalibrate myself from a year filled with major life decisions. While it has been a period of intense personal growth, it has been emotionally draining and will continue to be so for awhile, so I thought a trip to Cancun was in order (when is it not…)
I’ve been seriously contemplating doing a solo Cancun trip for 2025–I stayed at Riu Caribe and SLS Playa Mujeres in January, then did another trip in July staying at the Iberostar megaresort complex in the Riviera Maya, now I’m thinking of a late fall trip to some cheaper resorts since my travel budget for the year is almost in the red. It’s been a difficult year emotionally for me and it looks like it won’t get any better and Mexico calls when I need a recalibration and reset. (Actually, Mexico always calls to me no matter my mindset, lol).
I came across a recent comprehensive resort review of the family-friendly Grand Fiesta Americana Coral Beach done by Passport To Travel. This resort is located in the Punta Cancun area next to the very popular Hyall Ziva Cancun. The last time I visited this property was before they became an all-inclusive resort, so I know what the property looks like but have never stayed there.
