I love a good swim-up suite. In an upgraded room category with extra amenities. In a location which offers some terrace privacy. In an overall superlative resort. In a place where I can easily access the beach. Well, I’ve found another resort which meets my criteria–Excellence Riviera Cancun in the Riviera Maya.
For those of you who requested more info on resorts/suites amenable to families, here’s another very popular family-friendly resort located north of Playa del Carmen. It’s called Dreams Riviera Cancun Resort and Spa–anyone familiar with the Dreams name will know that these resorts are upscale properties geared towards families with younger children (the Explorer’s Club takes children as young as age 3). Unlike some other family-friendly resorts, Dreams properties typically do a very good job of entertaining their youngest guests. This particular resort offers a weekly beach camping adventure just for kids, big screen movies, separate kids theater for performances, sandcastle contests, rock climbing wall and splash pad at the Explorer’s Club, and the usual video games/table games. Here’s a big plus for parents–the Explorer’s Club is open until 10 p.m. and will make sure your kids have dinner thus ensuring that parents get some “couple time” while on vacation
For those of you who now look for my Friday suite review, mea culpa; sorry I’m late but work took precedence–who would have thought so many individuals needed documents at the same time?? Anyway, here’s a review for families out there who are searching for an upscale resort in the Riviera Maya not too far from Playa del Carmen. The Paradisus Playa del Carmen is a large property with two separate sections including adults-only (La Perla), and a family-friendly section (La Esmeralda). This review will focus on a Family Concierge One Bedroom Master Swim-Up Suite in the La Esmeralda section.
Thinking of going to an affordable all-inclusive resort in Mexico situated on one of Mexico’s best beaches? Look no further, Riu Palace Mexico may be the resort for you.
FYI: Atelier no longer allowing Estudio guests to access the property for free. You will now have to pay extra to do so.
I can’t believe it’s Friday again–time for another suite review. This time I’m taking a closer look at the one-bedroom Rock Suite Platinum at the Hard Rock Hotel Cancun.
Larger families and groups traveling together often have a difficult time finding all-inclusives which can accommodate their entire party while allowing for sufficient space for everyone involved. The Fives Azul Beach Resort Playa del Carmen is a perfect choice to meet these specifications–suites come in a variety of bedrooms, from the standard type of room to three-bedroom suites with rooftop space. This resort is located close to Playa del Carmen in the Riviera Maya which also makes it easy to shop in Playa, take excursions to the many wonderful cenotes and parks in the Riviera Maya, or just stay on-site and enjoy what the resort has to offer. Karisma has spent over $40 million on renovations during the last several years which has included new guest room buildings, additional restaurants, a new Plaza area where guests can meet and mingle, and has also pumped sand into the ocean in their attempt to make a smoother ocean entry.
Time for another suite review, on this occasion from the adults-only UNICO 2087 in the Riviera Maya. This is a five-star property and also a member of the Leading Hotels of the World (LHW); the resort has additional accolades including Travel and Leisure’s ranking of #7 out of 15 in the category of best Mexico Resort Hotels, in addition to ranking #3 in Conde Nast’s Reader’s Choice Awards in the category of best resorts in Eastern Mexico. The 2087 in its name comes from the resort’s latitude and longitude coordinates.
The Haven Riviera Cancun is a resort that has been on my radar for quite some time; however, the price point (when I’ve checked) resulted in a “no bueno” vote when it came to booking. If anyone sees any great deals for this resort please let me know, I’d love to jump on the chance! Here’s what I believe to be the resort’s selling points: Continue reading
It has been back to work with a vengeance since returning from my latest Cancun stay, but I promise to get my first resort review up by the end of the weekend. In the meantime, here is the latest in my ongoing suite saga–the overwater palafitos suite category at El Dorado Maroma.
