Breathless properties have a reputation as being a more upgraded party resort for adults. Sure, there are well-known Cancun party resort locations, but just how much of a party resort are we talking about at Breathless Cancun Soul…spring break type of party like Grand Oasis Cancun in March, older adult type of party like Riu Palace Las Americas, risqué type of party like Temptations Cancun, or something in between?
I love drone video of resort areas, they give you such a great overall glimpse into a resort’s layout, what the beach area looks like in general, and how close neighboring properties are to one’s destination.
For those of you who remember when Paraiso de la Bonita used to be a Zoëtry resort, you probably recollect the upgraded section with the huge suites which were added the last several years it still was a Zoëtry property (called the Impression Club section back then)…Well, they are up and running again and waiting for you to enjoy their awesomeness! They are now referred to as The Reserve Section of Paraiso de la Bonita; guests have full access to the entire resort which only includes around 90-100 other suites, so this is a boutique property as a whole. This is the type of resort where individuals and couples stay on vacation in order to relax, enjoy spa treatments, and concentrate on spending time with one another if traveling as a couple.
Can’t wait until my solo trip coming up in late April/early May! I’ve been looking for a video showing what some of my chosen room categories will actually look like (I’m staying at three separate properties), and recently found one on the oceanfront swim-up room category which I will have when staying at my first resort, Riu Ventura.
Given the recent cartel-related developments in Mexico, many flights have been cancelled to Mexican destinations and tourists have been urged to stay in place. It is in Mexico’s best interest to resolve this issue, and not just for tourists’ sake, but for the safety and welfare of its own people.
One of my favorite vloggers, Memories and Mojitos, just posted an English-speaking video about their stay at Majestic Mirage Costa Mujeres. If you want to learn more about the resort and its amenities and general setup, watch the video below.
Paradisus Cancun has been closed since June 2025 to completely renovate pretty much the entire property. If you are interested in how things might look after the renovation, their website’s home page has multiple pics of what rooms and amenities will look like–some are obviously computer generated, but the room pics appear to be what they will look like now. Post reno opening date is April 1, 2026.
English speaking videos are slow to come out for the brand new Majestic Mirage Costa Mujeres, but I found a video which is done in Spanish which highlights a lot of what this resort has to offer families and adults.
I literally was shocked the other day when I discovered that the infamous resort name brand “Conrad” currently has an all-inclusive optional meal plan in place until the end of 2026 at Conrad Tulum Riviera Maya (some past reports claim it ends by Nov. 1, 2026, while other sources state that it ends by Jan. 1, 2027). Conrad Hotels (and now Resorts) has always been synonymous with luxury details and accommodations, great food, and upscale everything. There are still vacationers who would never expect Conrad to offer an all-inclusive plan because they still associate all-inclusive resorts to have bad food, weak drinks, “less than” everything in comparison. Some of that may be true at select resorts, but the last several years there definitely has been an upswing in select all-inclusive resorts offering Michelin star chefs, luxury stays, and the most updated amenities for their guests. My guess is the Conrad is doing a test run to see how financially successful they are with the temporary addition of the meal plan and decide from there whether they are going to extend it further, perhaps make it a permanent addition, or cancel it and go back to making it a totally European meal plan like before.
In the process of finishing up my book, I am finalizing my lists of various resort amenities for easy reference–I’m trying to finalize one of the most difficult and that is a list of all-inclusive resorts in Cancun and the Riviera Maya that have heated pools. (Also one of my most requested pieces of info when people email me with specific requests).
