Fans of the adults-only Valentin Imperial Riviera Maya, take heart–final approval has been given for the completion of the originally planned complex conditionally approved back in 2005.  While only the Valentin was built and eventually opened in 2007, the rest of the originally planned complex consisted of two additional resorts (745 guest rooms in the second resort and 704 guest rooms in the third).  The second originally planned resort is supposed to be called Valentin Playa del Secreto and will be located north of Playa del Carmen.  No official opening date has yet been set.

This complex, along with the Amikoo project (the theme park planned for the Riviera Maya) and the Grupo Xcaret project (think Hotel Xcaret Mexico as the first stage) makes the Riviera Maya one of the most fast-growing vacation destinations in Mexico.
