Grand Velas Riviera Maya has been one of my top booked resorts for many years and my recent stay there was exceptional! This resort is very luxurious with a focus on service. It has amazing food including a restaurant with a Michelin star. All of this and with the convenience of being an all-inclusive property.

I’ve stayed at their resorts in Cabo, Riviera Nayarit and Riviera Maya and all are equally amazing but with their own personal touches. Riviera Maya is built into the mangroves so the surroundings are lush with wildlife and beautiful surroundings. This resort is great for families but also has adults-only areas as well. I can’t wait to tell you more about this property!

I can’t believe a week has gone by since my glorious stay at Hyatt Zilara Cancun! I’m a long time fan of Hyatt Zilara and Hyatt Ziva properties. They do such a great job with service and entertainment and this property certainly did exceptional with both!

What I really loved about this resort are the themed dinners offered through the week that take place in the grand lobby. We enjoyed the White Party and the Mexican Fiesta so much! They really go all out to make sure their guests have fun! It’s a very versatile resort with enough fun for those that want to party and plenty of spaces to relax and unwind making a great property for honeymooners, friends, families with adult children or couples enjoying a getaway while their kids are at camp 😉

Contact me to see if this resort would be a good fit for your next vacation!

Do you want to feel like royalty on vacation? Look no further than Sanctuary Cap Cana! This 5 star adults-only all inclusive is exquisite!

Hilton La Romana-so many great features at this property. Did you know the beaches in this area get very little, if any seaweed year round? It’s also just steps to the pier that takes guests to one of the hottest tourist attractions in the Dominican Republic. Did I mention there’s a waterpark, 10 restaurants, gorgeous pools and amazing entertainment? It’s definitely one to check out for your next vacation!
