For those of you not familiar with Villa del Palmar, it is an all-inclusive optional resort in the Playa Mujeres area north of downtown Cancun. Tafer Resorts has three adjacent properties right in this location–Villa del Palmar, Garza Blanca Cancun, and the brand new Hotel Mousai Cancun.
Now here’s a family-friendly luxury all-inclusive optional resort you don’t see advertised that much–at least, I don’t. Garza Blanca Cancun is located at the beginning of the Playa Mujeres area north of downtown Cancun; it’s right next to Villa del Palmar, another all-inclusive optional resort, and guests of Garca Blanca Cancun have access to Villa del Palmar so you have a stay at one play at two resort experience.
AVA Resort Cancun did open on time on June 1, 2024. (Sorry I didn’t post info sooner but I was busy doing my grandma thing). Opening on time is a surprise given the size of the resort with 1,700 guest rooms. Below is a video highlighting interior/exterior spaces which are open; the video is done by Vincent Vacations. It is unknown at this point in time what is still being completed, so I will post as that info becomes available.
I love the Unlimited Vacation Club videos reviewing Cancun and Riviera Maya resorts…super detailed, plus they are in both English and Spanish which gives me a chance to practice my Spanish skills!
Secrets Playa Blanca is looking more awesome every time I see another video showing its amenities! I can’t resist a resort that has a beach bar with swing seats…
For those of you wondering about what exactly is included with the new Family Selection upgrade at Grand Palladium Kantenah, here’s a video about what the resort area and amenities look like. This new build and addition had its Grand Opening Dec. 2023.
This Marriott resort used to be called CasaMagna and it was an all-inclusive optional resort. It has been closed since March 2023, and it recently opened as an all-inclusive resort fully renovated from top to bottom. Not only is everything redone, but the resort added a small children’s water park area complete with a lazy river. Marriott Cancun is family-friendly and right on a beautiful beach in Cancun’s Hotel Zone.
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.
