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.

It’s back to the reality of working, posting on my blog, and finishing my all-inclusive resort book after my latest mini-vacay in Mammoth Lakes at the Bluesapalooza Beer and Music Festival.  Such a neat setting to hear blues amidst the pines in the eastern Sierras near Yosemite, and, of course, to sample a few specialty brews while doing so.  If you get a chance and you like blues music, don’t miss it.  The party returns every August–trust me, you will have a great time!  On with more about all-inclusive resorts…

There are more videos coming out now about Secrets Impression Isla Mujeres besides showcasing the rooms (although the video posted below also includes a room tour).  After viewing this video done by Marc G I have one question–where’s the waterslide??  My understanding is that there was supposed to be one which traversed from the main level and exited into the ocean by the pier.  So I don’t know if it is not completed yet or just wasn’t included in this video…
