- In this video I bring you the 5 Best Adults Only All Inclusive Resorts in Cancun for 2023. I know there are so many to choose from, so trying to narrow it down to 5 Adults Only All Inclusive Resorts wasn't easy! I joined forces with my friend Chrissy from The Good Life Travel Co, our newtravel agency partners, to help me decide! Here were some of the requirements:
#cancun #allinclusive #travelvlog

Less than an hour from the airport
Received a travel award from either Trip Advisor, Forbes, Traavy or AAA 4 Diamond
Some of the All Inclusive Resorts that were chosen were also based on personal experience, feedback from Chrissy's clients (From The Good Life Travel Agency) and my own extensive research.

Hi Blanche - we just returned from staying at the Hyatt Zilara Cancun all inclusive adults only resort. And I highly recommend this place. The resort, rooms, amenities, food, entertainment, comfort and the service is outstanding!! It’s not a party resort but there is 2 pool sides, one is livelier with DJ and daily water activities and the other side is a more relaxed vibe. The beach is beautiful with very minimal seaweed. We had an oceanfront suite and the views were stunning!! Every single team member/worker was so professional, friendly and accommodating. I cannot express enough how impressed we were with everything and everyone during our entire stay from the time we arrived until we left. Even the hotel/airport transportation was amazing . We will definitely be returning to this resort! And the SPA… was truly an incredible experience. For me and my husband, we definitely got our money’s worth 👌🏼No complaints here. Oh and the evening shows were incredible and entertaining. Reminded us of Vegas! But this resort is really lovely. The hotel decor is a Spanish Colonial mixed with some Roman style,. High ceilings, marble floors and wrought iron railings which I love as it truly has a lot of Spanish charm. This resort is really lovely and did not disappoint at all. I’m so happy I ended up staying here 🙌🏻💕
Yayyy I’m going here for my 50th!!
Wonderful and Happy early Bday 🥳. You will enjoy this place and will have fun 🤩
Love your content. Was at Dreams Sapphire 2021, loved it. 19 days until DR, Royalton Chic.
Nice!!!! Thank you so much. Wondering if that’s more budget friendly category for our budget friendly video
Great video please keep this series going!! Looking forward to seeing the top 5 Luxury & Family Friendly
Awesome yes we will!!!
Yes! This is the video I’m wanting to see as well. I have 2 little I want to take with me!
Love your videos. My family and I love to visit these areas and its so helpful to hear from someone who is so familiar. Thank you from the Simon's
Thank you for watching!!!! I appreciate it!!!
I want to go to all of these suggestions 😁
I've never been to a resort before. I'm planning my first one for my Bday in march. The Barcelo Maya Riviera.
Love your channel btw, It's been really helpful for planning this trip, and understanding the Cancun airport, and what to pack.
Thank you so much!! I want to go to all of them too lol. Have so much fun!!
Great video!!! My favorites are the Palladium and TRS resorts!!!
I need to try those. Thanks for watching!!! Means a lot
Mine as well. TRS Yucatan and TRS Coral. Le Blanc is beautiful but boring and I mean boring without the pampering I get at TRS
I love this. Looking forward to the rest of the series. In September we stayed at the Hyatt Ziva in the turquoise tower. We have no big complaints but we are looking for something a little more budget friendly for this spring.
Nice! Yes!
Thanks a lot for the info! This is a great video ! 11:22
Thank you so much for watching!!!
Love your content! I was curious if you've made your trip to Atelier yet and how you liked it? I'm staying there in April and can't wait!
Yes I’m working on the review now
I love your channel it I would love more of a vlog style at the resort. More of a day today look at your vacation
Okay I just bought some microphones that I played around with last trip and will try to do more of that in January! I’m
Not the best with the technical part lol
Valentine Imperial Maya is awesome as well. You should try it if you haven't already.
Yes Chrissy agreed!!! Did you watch until the end? She added that one
Ive been to live aqua twice. Great experience, they do get a bit aggressive with timeshare sales.
Good to know!!
Live Aqua was fantastic, just went this summer. The service was insane, especially if you get a suite since you get butler service which is basically a concierge at your fingertips. Whatever you need you just text them and they take care of it. Reservations (either ar the resort or elsewhere), reserving your spot on the beach beds or cabanas, making appointments at the spa, getting anything for your room, calling a car etc. They were so good.
Awesome thank you!
Appreciate the content and info. Going to Cancun in two weeks. Riu las americas. Anything you can share would be helpful
So fun! Haven’t been to a RIU property yet! Many of our Facebook group members have and loved it. Here’s link to join
Facebook group - m.facebook.com/groups/572572378298675/?ref=share&mibextid=SDPelY
I'm going to the iberostar coral level in april.
I am really looking forward to it and also able to use Sister Hotel next door
Awesome!!! Can’t wait to hear about it!!
Looking forward to the budget friendly AO video!
Coming soon!!
Hi, did you do a Cozumel excursion on any of these trips? If so where did you go or what was it called? I thought I saw you said that in one of your videos, but now I can’t remember.
Just got back from the Zilara a couple of weeks ago. It’s the only Cancún resort I’ve stayed at, so I have nothing to compare it to, but we loved it. Even if you don’t get a swim out, every balcony has a hammock, which was amazing in the early morning and late afternoon. I do recommend considering renting a cabana. We did and (watching other people talk) I think it saved us some drama.
Awesome. Thank you!!
@@3Days3Noches The one other thing I'll say about the staff and Zilara and what kind of people they are (or at least my impression)... On the first day (us being noobs), we tried to leave a tip on the table for the housekeeping staff but had laid it next to a card for snack preferences. But we failed to leave a note. When we got back, the money and the card were placed on top of the fridge. The housekeeping folks were trying to make sure the snack person got their tip. Which, they could've just taken that cash and we would've never known the difference. We started adding a note after that. But, I feel like that speaks volumes the people and the place. They literally left money on the table to try to protect their coworker (as far as making sure they got what was due to them) I think.
@mrcase77 I love this! Yes it def speaks volumes!!
I loved my stay at Excellence Riviera Cancun.
I appreciate your content. I've never been to an all inclusive resort and am looking at the Cancun area. I've found your channel very informative, helpful and well constructed. We are looking to take a couples only trip and leave the kids at home. We want rest, relaxation and great food. We did 4 days in Puerto Rico last year and didn't leave our room a lot because our sleep schedule was so off, However I found our Resort limited on food/drink options, especially later at night. I'd like a place that we can just enjoy our room, the pool, on-site restaurant and just unwind. Where would you recommend? Our budget is around $3K-$4K for a great resort.
Thank you so much!!! Depends on how long. Does that include airfare? Email me at 3days3noches@gmail.com I have a few ideas. Sun Palace could be great for you. Although they have a membership sales pitch. Excellence Playa Mujeres we loved. You can also join our Facebook group and ask!! m.facebook.com/groups/572572378298675/?ref=share&mibextid=SDPelY
Valentin Imperial is truly amazing!!
Def need to try!!
Haven't been to Excellence Playa Majeures, but we have been to Excellence Riviera Maya & El Carmen. Loved them both :)
Awesome!!! Thank you so much!!
always great videos ..whats the smoking situiation on the resorts like?
I though I answered this. I’m sorry. It depends on the resort. It seems each resort is handling it differently
I stayed at Hyatt Zilara Cancun and it was the best. Most of the rooms are ocean view and the Friday pool party was not to be missed.
So good to know since I haven’t been there myself but after doing research I want to go there
Do you have suggestions for a honeymoon gor two weeks worth 12000 usd?
Been to Secrets Moxche and Maroma Beach, you'd like both.
Awesome! Thank you!
We arrived at Atelier, had 1 meal then it caught on fire. They shuffled us to a 1 star hotel and didn’t want to give our money back. Luckily we had purchased trip insurance and after several months finally got our money back. I would never ever go there again!
Omg!! I heard about that!!
Did you purchase trip insurance through the hotel?
@@KeepingItFishyno we purchased it through Apple Vacations when we booked our trip
@KeepingItFishy we have never purchased trip insurance until last time we finally did it with Safety Wing but that was for medical coverage
What in the world? Im sooo sorry that happened to you and your time was wasted. However, I’m happy you got your money back 😅. Now I need to buy trip insurance for next time because.. what?
I’m heading to Punta Cana this May for the first time ever with my fiancé but I was thinking about staying at an Airbnb as the resorts might be a little too expensive for us. Can you do a video based on Punta Cana Airbnb stays and recommendations? Thanks.
I’ve never stayed at one!
@@3Days3Noches oh ok
Phew Atelier on this list. So many resorts and so hard to figure out which one. I'm biased as we joined Inspira, but will compare it to Excellence Riviera. Issue always is if you pick the wrong Resort and you have a week where your left wondering why did I choose this place? Now to be fair about the resort if you're looking for a great night life this may not be the resort for you but if you're looking for incredible accommodation, great drinks (Inspira or not top shelf included) and very very good food this is right at the top. Other Resorts we've stayed at in the area include xcaret, Riu palace, Royalton Riviera, Paridisus, Catalonia, Wyndham Alltra.... Hit and miss. None bad and all 5 star hotel category as per TripAdvisor.
Thank you so much! Yes we know it doesn’t have a ton of nightlife but I just bring the party with me lol
I'd also have to add Hilton Playa del Carmen as a favorite. It's only 45 minutes from the airport.
Thank you so much!!!!
I agree. And it's right near 5th avenue for additional nightlife. Plus the resort and service were fantastic. Went there 15 years ago for my honeymoon when it was called The Royal Playa Del Carmen
You forgot Haven Riviera Cancun...it's north of Puerto Morelos, non-Serenity Club rooms can be had within your Premium price range (including swim-up suites), the food is very good, luxurious surroundings, but I have to admit the beaches in this area are not the best, especially when sargassum season is in full swing. I've been to Atelier and I have to agree with your comments, it's now one of my favorite resorts. I've been to Live Aqua twice, it's also one of my favorites. Thank for all the info you give to your viewers, it's much appreciated!
Yes thank you! I’ve actually been there we didn’t like it so much because of the beach but def has lots of pros.
Torn between Live Aqua and Atelier....which is better? Mainly for food/liqour and beach? I've been to so many in cancun where the food and drinks are awful
@@tracysmith2018 I've been to both and the food is much better at Atelier. Live Aqua is located in Cancun Hotel Zone with the postcard worthy beaches with the multiple blue ocean hues. Unfortunately, many beach areas in the Hotel Zone which are so lovely get so many red flagged days, meaning you basically cannot get in the water past your ankles due to rip currents. If you want the ocean view without needing to get in the water then Live Aqua has the advantage--their beachfront circular pool has to die for ocean views, plus they have a small swing seat beach bar and their separate swim-up bar has ocean views as well. Overall, Atelier is a superior resort to Live Aqua.
Love haven, it was amazing. Very clean and excellent food.
@user-gm2wd8lw7o the beach isn’t great there though. The food wasn’t good when I went
I absolutely agree about Atelier! As you know, I'm heading back for my 2nd visit next month! 27 days and counting!
Yes!!! Can’t wait for our visit!!!
Dude I want for a work trip I won. Incredible!!!
That’s insane!!!
Hope you have a wonderful vacation! I’m going to the Iberostar Grand Paraiso in April, but I really want to try the Atelier someday.
Have you tried an INSPIRA room? Thoughts?
People love to rag on Riu for some reason on these videos... but Riu Las Americas was an amazing adults only all inclusive on a great part of beach in the hotel zone. Food was great, party vibe was great, size was walkable. Just throwing it out there. Also a bit less expensive than most on this list while still having that upscale look. It does have that 'it all looks Riu chain' type look, but not as heavy as in other hotels as it keeps a more subdued Grecian theme. I loved it there, just saying :)
It’s on our budget list :)
Hi , may i ask you what website you buy a all included tickets .
Thanks 🙏
Hi we use our travel agent now!
I’ve been to Secrets Maroma Beach and both Excellence, i rate fun over the beauty of a resort..I have Secrets Maroma Beach then Playa Mujeres then Excellence Riviera Cancun
Omg good to know. I though Secrets was quieter than EPM!
@@3Days3Noches the entertainment team was the best one I’ve had at a resort always creating fun
@davegriffith6409 okay need to go there 😂
@@3Days3Noches yes
I agree with you about Secrets Maroma…it was fairly crowded and lively around the pools, (even the “quiet” pool, which was right next to the activity pool). The activities team was great, providing continual fun in the pool areas. Not really a quiet, or tranquil experience. For the tranquil vacation, go to Iberostar Grand Paraiso (very close to Secrets Maroma). We loved this resort! Adults only, very relaxing, quiet. Food was phenomenal, imo. Rooms are a bit dated, but clean and comfortable. They have a FANTASTIC fitness center for a resort, complete with professional trainers and classes such as kick boxing, boot camp, spin classes, etc. We are going back there next April and we can’t wait!
will you be making an update abotut visitax cancun? are they inforcing it when arriving or checking people at the airport? thanks
Yes I will be working on a Cancun airport update
They aren’t enforcing at the airport but supposedly they enforcing it digitally
@@3Days3Noches thank you
Ty, young lady
Ty for watching!
and also make another video transfer from Tulum airport to hotels in Tulum
I recommend you to do a video of the new Tulum international airport in Tulum Mexico
Great idea!!! I’ll look more into it!!
yes, it's a good idea
I make videos, airports, hotels, and popular travel locations
@@3Days3Noches December 1 the airport opens at Tulum international airport
How about Secret the Vine? We’re thinking about that one or Palace
Haven’t been! I think the reviews are mixed
we are going to el dorado royale in a week!
Have so much fun!!!
Haven riviera is top notch.
I have been looking for a month, Can you recommend a nice tropical like all inclusive for 5 nights for a budget of $2500?
With air or with out
with air@@3Days3Noches
Hi would you say Cancun is safe to travel to now ?
Very safe. Just always practice normal safety practices
Do you have any suggestions for a all inclusive inclusive in Cancun for $200 to $ 300
Ty
Check out the one I did about budget friendly resorts. RIUs are Ocean Maya Royale
Any thoughts on an all-inclusive and Playa del Carmen
Good suggestions there booked
@jeffprager4888 I think Playacar Palace is supposed to be pretty good!
How was your Atelier trip? We await the video!
It was great! It will take me some time to put it together. My biggest complaint was the chair game. We almost could never get chairs and I hated the beach set up!
have you been to Planet Hollywood cancun?
I have not. I don’t like going to American resorts in Mexico. @coolist just did a video on it!
Do you know what is the income/demographic levels of the people staying at $1,000+ / night hotels?
Are the guests mostly Mexicans or mostly foreigners?
Is there any stats published anywhere?
Why. That’s an odd question
@@3Days3Noches We recently stayed at hotel RIU Cancun for 3 nights, and we were definitely oddballs there.
The following 3 nights, we stayed at Renaissance hotel in Puerto Cancun, we felt at home.
Both places were suites at $400+/night.
But the $1,000+/night hotels you show, the rooms aren't that nice, honestly.
So I wonder what type of people spend so much money for so little rooms and be happy?
@sbkarajan ah All inclusive is really about the restaurants and drinks and activities etc. Not many people stay in the room. Bute the rooms were very nice at those places
@@3Days3Noches I see. But what I still don't get it is, $1,000/night hotel to me is for wealthy people, above my level.
But the wealthy people won't be stuck in a hotel compound and enjoying the same food and drink in the same place for a week.
And almost never go outside the hotel compound for a week.
Wealthy people I mean, for example, my friend who worked for a renowned bank told me that his firm divides their customers based on what the customers got.
If they have $100k+ luxury cars and $2M+ home, then they are classified as "affluent", but not rich nor wealthy. (c'est moi 🙂)
If they have a ferrari, a yacht, $5M+ home(s), or a bank balances over $10M, then and only then, they are identified as wealthy, deserving extra care. (not me, not even close... 🙂)
Are people staying at $1,000/night all-inclusive hotel wealthy?
I don't think they are, but they are spending several thousands just for hotels....
And then, a lot of 50 ft+ new yachts in Cancun... ($1M+)... the real wealthy... not staying at any all-inclusives obviously....
So, who are the people staying at $1,000/night all-inclusive hotels?
Really curious.
Went to excellence Riviera maya. After going to many secrets, sandals, riu, hyatt, and even other excellence resorts this one blew us away. The food was the best we’ve ever had across the board, service was amazing, and what made it all amazing was the price tag!
Thank you!!
What about Xcaret arte?
That will be on our luxury list. I’m pretty sure it’s more than $700 per night?
@@3Days3Noches yes. We were there in September. It's like over 1k a night. But we stayed in the ocean front Jr suite.
@robertwalker9670 awesome. Putting this on our luxury video list. Thank you!
Paying for park access. Similar in price to Atelier and if over 16 do Arte not Xcaret.@@3Days3Noches
@@3Days3Nocheswe are trying to book a trip in late Jan so we probably can’t wait for your luxury video- what resorts are you suggesting? :) would love to get a preview and help inform our booking!
How can you include a resort you have not stayed at yet? Speaking of Atelier.
If you watched the video I say the video is a compilation of resorts that won awards and rated the best.
@3Days3Noches I did watch it and heard what you said. The reason I watch these videos is make a decision on where to stay. I prefer the pov from those that actually stayed but also appreciate the effort you put into the videos.
@ashleys4652 great feedback! Ty!
@@ashleys4652Then go watch them😒
I've seen some of your Cancun resort reviews and absolutely love them! I have to say that I don't trust or agree with your list since you haven't experienced most of the resorts on this particular top 10 list.
I went to the Secrets resorts and as you mentioned, gorgeous and luxurious properties. But I disagree entirely with Hyatt Zilara. It's a very old building. The service was beyond terrible, and the personnel wasn't friendly, the food was okay, and the restaurants were crowded… a bad experience.
As I said, this is your channel, and I love your reviews however you should experience the resorts prior coming up with a top 10 list.
Thank you for pointing this out! I did say in the video I was compiling a list based on the awards given out in 2023 and most popular etc I have also found that places I love others don’t at all. Choosing a resort is very subjective to the persons priorities! Thank you for letting us know about the Hyatt. People in our facebook group rave about it and loved it 🤷♀️. I appreciate you watching my videos 😀
People get on my nerves saying this. Don’t watch it if u don’t like it. Some of us appreciate all kinds of reviews before choosing😒
Would love to hear your favorite adults only with the best BEACH 🏝️ 😊
Omg so tough! But def Le Blanc for the beach but it was boring. I wish Excellence Playa Mujeres was in the hotel zone
Ive been to a few of these, but Secrets Moxche is #1 and not even close.
Awesome thank you. What about the beach
@@3Days3Nochesreminds me of EPM. Playa Del Carmen can be hit or miss. It is up there in price, but totally worth it IMO. Keep up the great content.
@mikeyspitzer4471 thank you!!!
Need to put breaks in the video so people can scroll right to the each option....
TH-cam is supposed to do it automatically!! Let me check the settings
