I find the actual “travel” part of a vacation to be the most stressful of the entire ordeal. I’m assuming I’m not alone in this respect…while I spend months eagerly anticipating my destination I detest airports, everything about airports is abhorrent to me. I’m not afraid to fly or to travel, but I even think about an airport and I’m in need of an extra spray of Arrid Extra Dry.
Kind of in a rush to get to work this a.m. so I’m not going to say much except here’s a video on what the brand new SLS Playa Mujeres looks like…it was supposed to be a Melia property (Paradisus Playa Mujeres) but that never opened, so here’s what it looks like with new owners.
I guess SLS Playa Mujeres owners found something in the fine print to overturn the Mexican government’s denial of entry to the resort due to safety risks–some issue with the entrances and exits…They officially opened and let in their first guests yesterday.
FYI: The resort did indeed open Nov. 10, 2024. I guess they found a way around the safety issues…
SLS Playa Mujeres opens mid November 2025. If you were expecting a Paradisus resort, forget it, it’s now an SLS property.
I’ve been wondering for several years what was to become of Paradisus Playa Mujeres. I parasailed over it, read about it, saw pics and videos about it, but it never seemed to officially open. While I don’t know exactly what happened behind the scenes, it looks like Meliá has sold this property (it is no longer advertised as a Meliá property on their website), and instead this resort will open Nov. 15, 2024, as SLS Playa Mujeres.
