Some Major Changes Happening With Oasis Hotels and Resorts…

I generally don’t tend to follow Oasis Hotels and Resorts, so I missed their recent changes entirely until I began seeing new video snippets of The Sens Cancun which looked very much like Grand Oasis Palm.  So that you have an idea of where this resort is located, Grand Oasis Palm and Oasis Palm are adjacent to one another and are both situated towards the western end of Cancun’s Hotel Zone by the pirate ship excursion and Cancun’s Scenic Tower.  I’m still trying to put these changes together in a coherent fashion, so if there are any readers out there that know more about this resort change than I do, please chime in and let me know where I may be assuming something or have left out something important.

Planet Hollywood Cancun Finally Open–Take a Look at a Swimout Suite

Planet Hollywood Cancun has finally opened, but it looks like it’s off to a slow start.  There appears to be only one a la carte open (probably due to low occupancy), in-room liquor dispensers are empty, beers don’t appear to be in the mini-fridges yet (see video below), while I read that the spa, convention center, and one a la carte restaurant are still being finished.

Now Emerald Cancun used to be called Grand Oasis Sens–it is located on the east side of the “7” in the Hotel Zone.  While some renovations were made, the resort itself looks very similar with cosmetic changes and re-naming of public spaces.  The resort opened with its re-branded name in June 2019 and is fully operational at this point.

Okay.  Despite an impressive backlog of work which accumulated while on vacation and succumbing to the flu upon my return (has anyone needed a vacation from a vacation?), I have finally gotten around to writing this review which I should have completed several weeks ago.  Mea culpa.  Believe me, Hotel Riu Dunamar is worth the wait.

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.
