A Better Beach Experience This Stay–Catalonia Royal Tulum Resort Review
Another Live Webcam at the New Royal Uno
Royal Resorts added another resort/beach webcam at their new family-friendly all-inclusive, Royal Uno. I like this one because you can see a lot of the actual resort property in addition to what the beach conditions generally look like.
Another All-Inclusive Optional–The Viceroy
Vacationers used to the “best” while traveling typically consider the Viceroy brand as a potential contender in places to stay. Well, the Riviera Maya has its own Viceroy which is an adults-only all-inclusive optional resort located just north of Playa del Carmen. The Viceroy Riviera Maya offers one and two-story villas, some of which are very private, in a jungle setting. Vacationers wanting to be closer to the beach have the option of booking a villa which has an ocean view. Villas have heated plunge pools, indoor and outdoor showers, Bose radios, hammocks, and upgraded in-room amenities from Italian-made robes to handmade artisanal soaps–once you are checked-in you will be receiving a visit from the soap concierge in order to pick out your favorite bar of soap from their collection. This resort also has its own resident Shaman who performs smoke blessings for new guests.
Jr. Suite Swim-Up at the New Barcelo Maya Riviera–A Suite Review
I recently returned from a stay at the new adults-only section of the Barcelo Maya Grand resort. It’s called the Barcelo Maya Riviera, and it is a complete reversal in appearance from the rest of this megaresort. While a vacationer is more likely to feel as if one is in Mexico at the other resorts in this complex, the new adults-only section is very contemporary looking with modern decor, sleek lines, updated technology, huge screens in the lobby areas, and a much more spartan look throughout. Guests at the new adults-only section have full access to all amenities at the other resorts at this complex including being able to eat at Palace restaurants without any extra charges.

Dreams Playa Mujeres Golf and Spa Resort Review
I just returned from another trip to Cancun and stayed at the beautiful Dreams Playa Mujeres Golf and Spa Resort during Feb. 2017. I stayed in an upgraded Preferred Club Jr. Suite Ocean View, room #7408. I had pre-requested a pool view in addition to the ocean view since I did not want to look out at the side of the resort and this wish was definitely met. This was the view from my balcony with its own comfortable day bed and Jacuzzi tub.
