Next Mexico Vacation Celebrating Dia de los Muertos…

Vacation plans now set in place for my next trip to Mexico…I will be celebrating Halloween and Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) in Mexico.  I will be staying at Riu Palace Peninsula  to check out their new renovations, and Grand Riviera Princess to check out their renovations as well as how resorts typically celebrate Mexico’s famous “Day of the Dead” which is honored every year on Nov. 1 and 2nd.  This is a budget-friendly resort vacation since I am planning on an upcoming move and as all individuals realize, a mover’s budget is paramount in making financial decisions.  Hopefully spring 2027 will bring some extra cash flow to enjoy my lovely luxury resorts…

Balcony Jacuzzi Suite With the Best Cancun View

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.
