For those of you interested in the luxury adults-only resort (age 16+), Atelier Playa Mujeres, there’s a brand new video out done by one of my favorite videographers, 3 Days 3 Noches (Blanche). She does a great job in her resort reviews by giving her audience a thorough overview of a resort property.
With its grand opening on Feb. 1, 2024, Secrets Playa Blanca Costa Mujeres rolled out the red carpet for their guests at this brand new adults-only luxury all-inclusive resort. If you are thinking of staying here, remember that this resort will be opening its amenities in stages–only 341 out of 507 rooms available, Oceana restaurant not supposed to be available until the end of Feb., resort amenities not available until April 1 (theater, tennis and pickleball courts, rest of rooms), while the spa and gym are not supposed to be open until June 1.

I’ve never run across this before–a well-known and respected resort brand sells a property to another chain brand and then buys it back several years later…This appears to be what happened with Grand Oasis Tulum Riviera, an all-inclusive resort located between Akumal Bay Beach and Wellness Resort and the Bahia Principe mega-resort just north of Tulum. This resort used to be known as Grand Oasis Tulum (owned by Oasis Hotels and Resorts), then became an AMR Collection resort called Sunscape Akumal (AMR resorts include Secrets, Dreams, etc., Sunscape is a cheaper family-friendly option in comparison to Dreams resorts). Apparently Hyatt has sold it back to Oasis. Hmmm…if anyone knows the inner workings of this transaction please let us all know.
Just a short blog post about booking your spring break vacay in 2024…if you haven’t already booked your stay in Cancun or the Riviera Maya, be aware that your preferred resort may already be SOLD OUT. I just happened to snag pretty much the last two rooms available at Hard Rock Riviera Maya for my dates of stay in March 2024. This resort has been on my bucket list of “resorts that are a must to be booked”; I almost waited too long to reserve my stay!!! Don’t let this happen to you–book right now if you have your eye on a resort which is a must to fulfill your vacay dreams!

If you’ve already decided to book Beloved Playa Mujeres, then you already know you will be staying at one of the best luxury boutique couples only all-inclusive resorts in this part of Mexico. The question then becomes not where to stay, but which room to book…This may be a difficult decision since the Beloved offers 11 different room categories. That’s a lot for any property. So, what’s the difference in these categories?
If you enjoy vacationing at large megaresort complexes, you’ve probably read something about the Iberostar Riviera Maya property. The resort as a whole is located about 35 min. south of the Cancun airport and is comprised of five separate resorts, a golf course, and a separate “shopping mall” complex right across the road from the beachfront resorts. The individual properties, from the most expensive to the cheapest, are as follows: Continue reading
I’m a big fan of resort loyalty programs. They work like many other loyalty programs– you can join for free and enjoy extra benefits the more you stay at resorts within a particular chain or brand. Of course, some are better than others; I’ve saved several hundred dollars each time I take a trip staying at a Catalonia resort since loyalty members get a certain percentage off a new booking. That extra money I usually apply towards an excursion like visiting a cenote in the area.
I found a video done by one of my favorite resort videographers, 3 Days 3 Noches, about the newest addition to the very popular Moon Palace resort. The Grand was finished in 2017 and adds a whopping 1,316 rooms to Moon Palace’s overall room count of 2,433. While I can’t find a firm number concerning total guest capacity of this resort as a whole, it is somewhere over 10,000 for the entirety of this huge mega-resort complex. With this kind of potential demand, you have to know that this resort must offer something special to keep guests coming back year after year as well as being able to attract new guests.
