For full disclosure, I have not yet stayed at Hilton Cancun. However, I have read a lot of positive reviews about the property and have been wondering what the secret is of its popularity since on the surface it looks and acts like so many other all-inclusive resorts I actually have booked.
I’ve stayed at both Hotel Xcaret Mexico and Hotel Xcaret Arte and believe me they are among the best of the best when it comes to all-inclusive resort choices in Cancun and the Riviera Maya. Hotel Xcaret Mexico just underwent a $700 million renovation and made the resort twice as large as it was with lots of new amenities for families (the Arte property is ages 16+ while the Mexico property is family-friendly).
Yesterday I posted that I will be vacationing at Iberostar Selection Paraiso Maya Suites for the first part of my stay. The second resort is just “next door” at the beautiful JOIA Paraiso by Iberostar, an adults-only luxury property–I will only have to take a golf cart from one lobby to another which makes it super easy to start the next segment of my vacation!
I am going on vacation in a few days! And to my favorite place–where else, Mexico. Namely, staying in the Riviera Maya at two resorts which are part of the same Iberostar megaresort complex at Playa Paraiso. I will be traveling with a family member I haven’t traveled with before so I am excited about a new experience.
Many vacationers who love all-inclusive resorts go for the opportunity to eat and drink with impunity (or perceived impunity until your clothes feel a bit more snug when you get back home). Most resorts in Mexico will gladly give you your fill of burgers, tacos, pizza, etc., but what if you want something different? What if you want to skip the fast food options to save time from cooking after a hard day’s work? What if you want to reconnect with yourself instead of spending your vacation in the more mindless fashion of eat, drink, pool and beach time, drink some more, and repeat?
Now that AVA Cancun has had about a year to work out the “kinks”, it looks like there are some new additions and changes that have been made.
Here’s some more info on the new Excellence Coral Playa Mujeres; it just opened a couple of months ago so some aspects of the resort are still being worked out, but overall it looks great (with the exception of the new foliage, but only time will fix that).
It’s been about a year since Secrets Playa Blanca Costa Mujeres opened its doors to guests, and it looks like things are going incredibly smoothly for such a “young” resort. Even the flora looks great and more mature than what I would expect for a newer resort.
I always like to know more about the resorts at which I will be staying prior to my arrival…it’s part of the fun and anticipation of a resort stay! Plus I don’t want to miss anything important I should be experiencing when I do arrive.
There’s a new video out on Secrets Moxche, a beautiful adults-only all-inclusive resort located just north of Playa del Carmen. I stayed at this resort in 2022 and already wrote a resort review about it, you can read it by clicking this link.
