I’ve decided to do a series on rooftop suites in all-inclusive resorts in Cancun and the Riviera Maya. While my personal favorite is a good swim-up suite, rooftop suites are a great alternative to having an awesome vacation with a guaranteed bird’s eye view.
I have mixed feelings about rooftop suites. On one hand, they can be such a great way to get a bird’s eye view of the resort as well as an increased possibility of getting an ocean view even though one hasn’t booked something oceanfront. On the other hand, I would hesitate booking a rooftop suite during the height of summer because of the need to limit daytime use of the space–rooftop suites, unless they have great shade built into the rooftop area, can be incredibly hot during Mexico summers.
Majestic Elegance Costa Mujeres is a brand new resort which just opened north of Cancun. It recently changed its name from Majestic Elegance Playa Mujeres to Majestic Elegance Costa Mujeres. I recently posted a video of a swim-up room; here’s a video of the public spaces in order to give everyone a look at its general architecture and design.
If you are familiar with the Majestic brand or have stayed at their all-inclusive resorts in the DR (Dominican Republic), you know that this name is synonymous with attentiveness to customer needs (an average of 1.5 staff members p/room), 5-star resort amenities, exclusive areas for adults with an upgrade, and the pinnacle of guest vacation requests–not having to make dinner reservations at a la carte restaurants.
