Hola; it’s Friday and time for another room category review!  I’m highlighting the Preferred Club Jr. Suite Ocean View at Secrets the Vine located in Cancun’s Hotel Zone.  Secrets the Vine is a great adults-only resort situated between two other popular and well regarded all-inclusives, Hard Rock Hotel Cancun and Sandos Cancun Lifestyle Resort, all facing the beautiful Caribbean Sea.  This area of the Hotel Zone is representative of the Cancun that most people see in media–turquoise sea, miles of white sandy beach, and breathtaking views from chic resorts and beachfront pools.

It’s Friday again and time for a new room category review!  This time I’m highlighting the Private Pool Casita Suite at the adults-only El Dorado Casitas Royale.   This resort is located in the Riviera Maya about 25 min. south of the Cancun airport.  The resort is directly adjacent to its sister resorts, El Dorado Royale to the south, and Generation Riviera Maya to the north, and has full access to all amenities at El Dorado Royale.  While the Casitas Royale has always been a good choice for couples who are celebrating a special occasion such as a honeymoon or anniversary, single adults may also appreciate the resort’s luxurious atmosphere and extra-large suites.

If you will be taking an ADO bus anywhere in Cancun and the Riviera Maya, make sure to bring your ID.  Due to the flow of migrants from central American countries throughout Mexico, identification is now required prior to boarding.  If you don’t have an ID, you will not be allowed to take this type of transportation throughout the area.

Time for another suite review!  This time I’m highlighting the Jacuzzi Suite at Riu Palace Peninsula which is located in Cancun’s Hotel Zone on the top of the “7”.  Riu resorts are some of the best four-star all-inclusive properties which give you the most “bang for your buck”.  Since this is a Riu Palace resort (an upgraded Riu property), you will have access to all Riu resorts in the area.  Don’t forget to visit the Riu Caribe located adjacent to this resort; it’s also easy to take a bus down to the Riu Palace Las Americas and the Riu Cancun if you want to see what they look like as well.

Uber Again Operational In Cancun

Want the typically cheaper option of Uber while in Cancun?  This transportation service will once again be available starting June 6, 2019 after being suspended for over a year.  While a Mexican federal court ruling is responsible for its reinstatement, cab drivers and their representatives vow that the fight is not over, so Uber availability may once again change.  Don’t be surprised to see more blockades and physical resistance by the local cab drivers.

I’ve decided to do something a bit different–I will be posting at least one video a week of a specific resort suite category which I believe deserves mention.  Most of these videos are not mine since I’m assuming followers of my blog have already seen many of the room video’s I’ve already taken (if you haven’t seen them, you can view them on YouTube under the Allinclusive Gal name).  Don’t worry, they aren’t all Presidential Suites–after all, who can afford one of those every time you go on vacation–but there might be one or two I will slip in for fun.
