Today, I had the opportunity to attend Celebrity Cruises’ Alaska Cruisetours Workshop, held at Seasons 52, and it was a great afternoon of learning about one of the most incredible ways to experience Alaska. 🏔️🚂🛳️

Celebrity Alaska Cruisetours combine a breathtaking Alaska cruise with an escorted land vacation, allowing travelers to experience both Alaska’s stunning coastline and its rugged interior. Guests can sail through iconic destinations like Glacier Bay and the Inside Passage, then continue their adventure on land with visits to places such as Denali National Park, Fairbanks, and Anchorage. Along the way, you’ll enjoy scenic rail journeys, wildlife viewing, and unforgettable mountain landscapes that simply can’t be experienced from the ship alone.

The workshop was packed with valuable information about the different tour options, helping me better understand how to match the right Alaska experience to each traveler’s interests and vacation style.

Of course, the afternoon was made even better by lunch at Seasons 52. I ordered the cedar plank roasted salmon, and it was easily the best salmon I’ve had in quite a while. Absolutely delicious! 😋

If an Alaska adventure is on your travel wish list, I’d love to help you plan it. Whether you’re interested in a cruise, a Cruisetour, or exploring all the options available, let’s start planning an unforgettable journey together! 🚢🐻🫎

We wrapped up the ALGV Pros on the Go Cancun FAM with our final resort tour at Secrets Maribel, and it was a great way to end several days of exploring some of Cancun’s popular all-inclusive resorts! 🏖️ 🌺

Originally operating under a different brand, this 485-room beachfront property has recently undergone renovations and officially joined the Secrets Resorts & Spas portfolio, bringing the elevated adults-only experience that Secrets guests know and love.

One of the biggest additions is the brand-new Preferred Club tower, offering upgraded accommodations, exclusive amenities, and stunning ocean views for guests looking for an even more elevated stay. 🥂✨

During our visit, I toured three room categories: a Standard Ocean View Room, a Junior Suite, and the spacious Master Suite. Each offered a fresh, modern design with bright coastal décor and plenty of room to relax after a day in paradise.

The resort features multiple pools, a beautiful stretch of beach, a variety of dining options, and the luxury experience that makes Secrets such a popular choice for couples, honeymooners, and adults looking for a relaxing getaway.

After touring so many incredible resorts this week, Secrets Maribel was a wonderful final stop and another great option for travelers seeking an adults-only escape in Cancun. 🌊 🐚

Our next-to-last resort tour of the day brought us to Hyatt Ziva Cancun, a family-friendly all-inclusive resort located on one of the most beautiful stretches of beach in Cancun. 🌴☀️

With 547 rooms, Hyatt Ziva offers something for just about everyone. The resort sits on a peninsula surrounded by stunning turquoise water, giving guests incredible ocean views from multiple areas throughout the property. The atmosphere is lively and welcoming, making it a great choice for families, couples, and multigenerational groups traveling together.

One feature that really helps this Hyatt Ziva stand out is the adults-only Turquoize Tower. This exclusive section offers a more upscale and tranquil experience while still allowing guests access to all of the amenities of the main resort.

During our tour, I had the opportunity to see a Turquoize Oceanfront Sky View room, and the views were absolutely spectacular. Waking up to panoramic ocean views from this room would be hard to beat. 🌊✨

The resort offers multiple pools, a wide variety of dining options, beautiful beaches, and plenty of activities to keep guests entertained throughout their stay. Whether you’re looking for a family vacation filled with fun or a more relaxing adults-only escape within the Turquoize Tower, Hyatt Ziva Cancun provides a great balance of both.

After touring the property, it’s easy to see why Hyatt Ziva Cancun continues to be one of Cancun’s most popular all-inclusive resorts. 🏖️💛

Resort Tour 3 of 5 today during the ALGV Pros on the Go Cancun FAM brought us back to a familiar favorite: Secrets Playa Blanca Costa Mujeres. 🌴✨

This adults-only all-inclusive resort opened in 2024, and some of these photos may look familiar because I actually stayed here a couple of years ago and absolutely loved it. Returning for a site inspection only confirmed why it made such a great impression the first time.

During our tour, I had the opportunity to visit a Preferred Club Master Suite, one of the resort’s spacious and luxurious accommodations. The suite offers upgraded amenities, extra room to spread out, and all the little touches that help elevate the experience.

What continues to stand out about Secrets Playa Blanca is its beautiful beachfront setting, elegant design, and relaxing atmosphere. The resort strikes a great balance between luxury and comfort, making it an excellent choice for couples looking for an upscale adults-only escape.

We wrapped up our visit with lunch at the Marketplace buffet, and it was every bit as delicious as I remembered. The variety and quality of the food were excellent, making it a great place to refuel before heading to our next resort tour.

Having experienced this resort both as a guest and now through a professional site inspection, I can confidently say that Secrets Playa Blanca Costa Mujeres remains one of my top recommendations for adults looking for a luxurious all-inclusive getaway in the Cancun area. ❤️

Next we toured Hotel Riu Palace Costa Mujeres, a family-friendly all-inclusive resort located on the beautiful beaches of Costa Mujeres. With 700 rooms and opening in 2017, this resort offers a great mix of modern design, relaxation, and fun for travelers of all ages. 🏖️

From the moment you arrive, the resort has a bright and welcoming atmosphere. The beachfront location provides gorgeous ocean views, while multiple pools, a water park, a variety of restaurants, and plenty of entertainment options make it easy to stay as busy or as relaxed as you’d like.

During our tour, I had the opportunity to visit an Elite Club Swim-Up Room. This room category offers direct access to a semi-private pool right from your terrace, making it a great option for guests who enjoy spending time in the water without venturing far from their room. Elite Club guests also enjoy additional perks and exclusive amenities that help elevate the overall vacation experience. 🥂

One thing I continue to appreciate about RIU resorts is their consistency. Guests know what they’re getting: comfortable accommodations, plenty of dining choices, beautiful pool areas, and a solid all-inclusive experience at a good value.

If you’re looking for a family-friendly all-inclusive resort in the Cancun area that offers beachfront relaxation, activities for all ages, and upgraded room options like the Elite Club Swim-Up Rooms, Hotel Riu Palace Costa Mujeres is definitely worth considering! 🌴☀️

Day 3 of the ALGV Pros on the Go Cancun FAM started with Secrets Playa Mujeres Golf & Spa Resort, an adults-only all-inclusive that blends relaxation, luxury, and plenty of space to unwind.

With 424 suites, this resort first opened in 2014 and recently completed a renovation in 2026, giving many areas of the property a fresh, updated feel. One of the standout additions is the brand-new two-story Preferred Club, offering an elevated experience for guests looking for extra perks and exclusive spaces.

During our tour, I had the opportunity to visit both a Preferred Suite Ocean View and a Preferred Master Suite Ocean View. Both offered spacious layouts, beautiful ocean views, and the upscale touches that Secrets guests have come to expect. The Preferred Master Suite especially stood out with its extra living space and premium amenities.

One of the biggest advantages of staying here is the exchange privileges with the neighboring Dreams resort. Guests staying at Secrets can enjoy the restaurants, pools, and amenities at Dreams, while adults staying at Dreams can also visit Secrets, giving travelers even more options during their vacation.

The resort’s beachfront setting, beautiful pools, and relaxed atmosphere make it a great choice for couples, honeymooners, and anyone looking for an adults-only escape in Cancun.

Today’s final resort tour brought us to Hotel Riu Palace Kukulkan, an adults-only all-inclusive located in Cancun’s Hotel Zone, and it was a fantastic way to wrap up a busy day of resort inspections during the ALGV Pros on the Go Cancun FAM! 🌴✨

From the moment you step into the lobby, the resort has a modern, upscale feel with beautiful ocean views and plenty of open spaces designed for relaxation. While the resort is not overly large, everything feels convenient and easy to access, making it a great option for couples and adults looking for a laid-back beach getaway.

During our tour, I had the opportunity to visit both a Junior Suite Courtyard View and an Ocean View Suite in the Elite Club section. The rooms were bright, modern, and thoughtfully designed, with comfortable furnishings and plenty of space to unwind after a day in the sun. The Ocean View Suite was especially impressive, offering stunning views of the Caribbean and access to the additional Elite Club amenities.

The resort features multiple pools overlooking the beach, a variety of dining options, bars throughout the property, and direct access to one of Cancun’s beautiful stretches of white-sand beach. I also liked that the adults-only atmosphere creates a more peaceful and relaxed experience compared to many of the larger family-friendly resorts in the area.

After spending time exploring the property, I can definitely see why Hotel Riu Palace Kukulkan continues to be a popular choice for couples, friends, and anyone looking for an adults-only all-inclusive vacation in Cancun. 🏖️ ☀️
