Another Great Video of the New Barcelo Maya Riviera
Found another great video of the new adults-only Barcelo Maya Riviera. The public spaces look great–the lobby looks very huge and impressive! I also liked the large entertainment stage, hopefully they won’t have a Michael Jackson tribute show which almost every Mexican all-inclusive resort puts on. Ughh. The spa video, however, looks like the main spa over at the Colonial, I will have to see whether this resort has a smaller version.
New Drone Video of Barcelo Maya Riviera
For those readers curious about the brand new adults-only Barcelo resort, a new drone video has been posted on YouTube. Just thought I’d post it here in case you don’t visit YouTube with any regularity. This resort is actually ahead of its construction schedule and will be opening on time this December 2019.
New Valentin Resort Approved
Fans of the adults-only Valentin Imperial Riviera Maya, take heart–final approval has been given for the completion of the originally planned complex conditionally approved back in 2005. While only the Valentin was built and eventually opened in 2007, the rest of the originally planned complex consisted of two additional resorts (745 guest rooms in the second resort and 704 guest rooms in the third). The second originally planned resort is supposed to be called Valentin Playa del Secreto and will be located north of Playa del Carmen. No official opening date has yet been set.
Haven Riviera Cancun Oceanfront Jr. Suite
Just wanted to let everyone know that the brand new Haven resort is now open for business in the Puerto Morelos area. I found this video of an oceanfront Jr. Suite–the video of the room really starts at about 1:30 into it and is very thorough in terms of room amenities. Take a look–would you stay here?
The Amazing Resort Called Hotel Xcaret Mexico
Following our visit to the Riu Dunamar in February 2018 (if you want to read my review of that property just click here), my husband and I took a private shuttle to another new all-inclusive resort which also opened December 2017. Hotel Xcaret Mexico is the first stage of a six stage project (Destino Xcaret) designed and built by the Mexican firm Grupo Xcaret. The entire project will eventually consist of a multipurpose stadium, a shopping center, and 6,000 guest rooms across 12 hotels. Hotels will range from luxury accommodations to those with four star ratings.
What’s New at Breathless Riviera Cancun?
Those of you who have been patiently waiting for the After Dark sports bar and nightclub to open have to wait no longer. While it’s opening was initially delayed over two months after the resort’s official opening, After Dark is now open for late-night partiers (it’s open until 3 a.m.).
Secrets Akumal Resort Review
Sea turtle lovers and luxury resort aficionados rejoice! The adults-only Secrets Akumal Riviera Maya, a five-star luxury all-inclusive resort which just opened its doors Nov. 4, 2015, has a front row seat and easy access to one of the most popular tourist attractions in the Riviera Maya–snorkeling with sea turtles in Akumal Bay.
The Newest Karisma Generations Resort Is Open for Business
Karisma has done it again, but with even more amenities–an “all suite, all butler, all gourmet” beachfront resort in the heart of the Riviera Maya just 25 min. south of the Cancun airport called Generations Riviera Maya by Karisma. The newest Karisma resort is a six-story contemporary stunner with facilities to accommodate couples, wedding parties, and multiple families in their one-to-three bedroom connecting suites.
