Here’s a video for those interested in what my swimout suite was like at Platinum Yucatan Princess during my Oct. 2022 vacay in Mexico. If you want to read my resort review, just click here.
It’s been awhile since I looked closely at Atelier Playa Mujeres’ most recent perks and rooms and it looks like there are quite a few newer additions!! Here’s the latest…
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.
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!
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.
Travel agents can be remarkably resourceful…a prime example would be agents/owners from Lone Star Travel who were allowed to be on-site at the new Hyatt Zilara Riviera Maya (formerly known as Secrets Capri). It is still adults-only but has undergone a complete remodel with some new additions as well–think oceanfront swim-outs, for example. Lone Star Travel reps took videos from several areas of the resort including a guest room category, King Jr. Suite Tropical View.
I completely forgot I made this video. I was at Catalonia Playa Maroma in April 2022 and filmed the beach in almost pristine condition; there are some areas of sargassum but it is relatively clean. I periodically need a beach pick-me-up and thought this may hit the spot for other beach lovers out there…

The previous Omni Cancun has now switched over to Wyndham Grand Cancun and Villas. There was no major disruption in the change, so there should be no surprises. It is a family-friendly all-inclusive resort with the following amenities: Continue reading
