There are some major renovations and additions being completed at the adults-only Heaven section at Hard Rock Riviera Maya. These include several new restaurants (Wai–Thai food, Umo–Mexican Yucatan food, and Faro which is not completed yet), a new pool, pool renovations, “beach” renovations (this resort has no actual beach access; instead it has a calm inlet with salt water and a man-made sandy beach), and the addition of swim-up rooms (Deluxe Swim-Ups are listed as Garden View, but some closer to the ocean may have a partial ocean view).

New Royalton Splash Video…
Royalton Splash Riviera Cancun just opened and YouTube has its first complete video out!! Looks like the resort has a lot to offer families including the large water park, two lazy rivers, separate younger children’s water park, three story kids club, bowling (yay!), trampoline area, and laser tag. Given the info on the video, only half of the water park is open until Feb. 2023, so take note that if you stay here prior to that not all amenities will be open…sadly, pretty standard these days for new resort openings.
Want To Impress Your Significant Other With A Romantic Resort Stay?
Let’s say you want to do something extra special to celebrate an anniversary, honeymoon, get engaged, or just generally impress your significant other? Consider one of the more romantic all-inclusive resorts in Cancun, Beloved Playa Mujeres, part of the very well regarded Excellence Collection resorts. This adults-only property states it’s a “couples only” resort, and they have done everything they can to create a luxury resort ambiance with plenty of opportunities for couples to spend quality time together; there are still plenty of opportunities to have fun and socialize with other guests as well if that is what is desired for a great vacation.
Looking For A Cancun Party Resort?
If you are young or young at heart and like to party at your resort while on vacation, here’s an adults-only all-inclusive option for you. The Royalton CHIC Cancun is right in the heart of Cancun’s Hotel Zone (it’s near Sunset Royal Beach and Le Blanc resorts) and not too far from Plaza Forum, Cancun’s hot nightspot area with all its popular clubs. This resort is compact but offers two beachfront pools plus a rooftop bar/restaurant/pool plus party space which holds nighttime neon parties and daytime pool foam parties.
Tired of Christmas Shopping and Preparation? Take a Break at Valentin Imperial Riviera Maya…
I have been feeling quite fatigued with both Christmas preparations and work and needed a quick “mind vacation” to one of the most popular all-inclusive adults-only resorts in the Riviera Maya, Valentin Imperial Riviera Maya. This resort has a reputation for being both luxurious and fun and attracts lots of couples and groups of friends traveling together.
Remember Akumal Bay Beach and Wellness Resort?
Now here’s a resort I’ve wanted to visit for quite some time…Akumal Bay Beach and Wellness Resort is located right on Akumal Bay (also known as the Bay of Turtles) and offers vacationers a great stay in a jungle setting with wonderful snorkeling and diving opportunities just steps away from your room. It offers multiple oceanfront guestroom buildings and pools, multiple beach bars, a sushi bar, oceanfront yoga opportunities, a spa and gym, plus a buffet and four a la carte restaurants. The only negative here is the lack of swim-up bars, but there are bars set up all along the entire beachfront so you won’t have to go far to get a drink. And let’s not forget the resort’s rooftop Jacuzzi rooms with sweeping Akumal Bay and ocean vistas, my personal favorite.
First Looks At Secrets Impression Moxche!!
No more delays, Secrets Impression Moxche has opened. Here’s a video of this new upgraded section taken about 3 weeks ago while still being completed…it looks gorgeous! What do you think? Would you stay here?
Hyatt Zilara Riviera Maya Pool Area (Formerly Secrets Capri)
If you are following the upcoming opening of the fully renovated Hyatt Zilara Riviera Maya, formerly known as Secrets Capri, here is a video about just the main pool area. If you remember what the pool was like when it was a Secrets resort, the main complaint was one of slipping when entering the pool. Hopefully that has been resolved; it looks like the pool was completely redone so I am guessing it’s a thumbs up for pool entry this time around.
Interested in the New Wyndham Grand Cancun (Formerly the Omni)?
For those interested in what cosmetic changes have been made to the Omni (now known as the Wyndham Grand Cancun), here’s a video which does a good job of summarizing the resort’s amenities and features. I wish the videographer would have showcased one of the villa suites since I think it’s always been one of this resort’s best draws. Glad to see Wyndham still kept the sushi station and the beachfront swim-up bar area!
Belated Video Of Haven Riviera Cancun’s Serenity Club Oceanfront Swim-Out Terrace
While I tend to post vacation info well after the fact, even this is late for me. I stayed at Haven Riviera Cancun in April 2022 in the upgraded Serenity Club Jr. Suite Swim-Out Oceanfront. I have already posted the pics of this room category, but here’s a short video of what the terrace and terrace views look like in more detail. I stayed in room 1008 in building 1; upgraded oceanfront swim-outs can only be found in the original resort section. The new section does not offer this room category.
