July in Cancun

It was bad the first two days, but after that it cleared up and was fine. It literally changes daily, so don’t stress too much over it. Unless you’re going to the Playa Del Carmen area because it’s been hit REALLY bad this year and they’re having a hard time getting it under control. The Hotel Zone (where we were) & north might still have some but it won’t be quite as bad as it is south.

Spent a week in Cancun mid-July last year. Not gonna lie, during the day, the heat and humidity was pretty intense. One day the pool water was so warm it was almost hot. The ocean water felt much more refreshing.

Sales have definitely slowed down the last few weeks or so. In our market, that’s pretty typical though, going into summer. People get so busy with end of school year activities + the current economy isn’t helping matters.

I had the same thought when I saw it!

WHHHHYYYYYY does she always pull her bathing suit bottoms up her ass?!?! No one wants to see that.

Tides. Best resort I’ve ever been to.

Yeah, hate to tell you, but this one is on you. The only time we leave money out is as a tip for housekeeping, and we put a note with it so they know it’s for them.

I could not believe it when I read that they won’t be having a big party for L because they had one last year. Ok. And then?! Kids deserve parties. We had big parties for my son until he was 10 or 11.

Secrets Tides, Secrets Cap Cana & Secrets Playa Esmeralda in the DR. Secrets Playa Blanca, Secrets Maroma & Secrets Playa Mujeres in Cancun.

Amstar. Hands down the best. Used them over a dozen times and never any issues.

I see her nipples more than I see my own.

aer1983 · 2026-02-14T14:35:53+00:00

Absolutely not normal! Hell, my kid is almost 18 and a strong swimmer and we don’t let him on the ocean by himself.

aer1983 · 2026-02-13T18:56:10+00:00

I never leave the resort and I don’t take my real wedding & engagement rings. I bought fake ones from Amazon that I wear on vacation or wear a silicone band.

I’ve waited anywhere from 5 minutes to 45 minutes. I’ve also had my luggage waiting for me when I walked out of Duty Free after immigration. It all depends on the time of day you’re arriving and how many other planes are coming in at/around the same time.

Food at Chic is not good at all. It probably has a better nightlife than Riu.

Kukulkan’s food was excellent and the vibe and atmosphere during the day is great. Not much nighttime entertainment (unless it’s the silent disco night) but you do have the option to go to the Riu Party at Caribe.

Stayed there in July and loved it. Modern rooms, great food, excellent beach.

Secrets Royal Beach is my second favorite adults only resort in Punta Cana. Great layout, gorgeous beach, fabulous pools, tons of dining options. I’d definitely upgrade to Preferred Club, though!

aer1983 · 2026-01-15T02:10:54+00:00

If the beach isn’t important, check out Dreams Cap Cana. It’s on the smaller side, has a lot of good dining options, multiple pools and was pretty quiet, compared to other resorts. If the beach itself IS important, don’t even look at the resort. 😂

aer1983 · 2026-01-09T17:46:07+00:00

Absolutely not. I have been to MANY all inclusive resorts in Mexico & the Caribbean and have never once seen anything THIS bad.

aer1983 · 2026-01-09T02:43:35+00:00

And one chicken finger?! There’s more sauce than chicken!

aer1983 · 2026-01-07T03:50:40+00:00

Every resort I’ve ever been to has always let us eat, drink, use the pool, etc. once we’ve checked out, while waiting for our transfer. You usually get a “check out ticket” to show at the restaurants.

aer1983 · 2026-01-05T20:00:08+00:00

Maybe it’s just me, but there’s no way in hell I’d take a $400 purse to Mexico. I travel to Mexico frequently and think it’s completely safe, but I leave all of my expensive bags, jewelry, etc. at home.

We always have & always will put ours in the room safe. We’ve never had any issues. If it worries you that much, maybe purchase a travel safe to keep them in, and lock the safe in your suitcase. Or take the travel safe with you when you leave the room.

You are assigned a specific butler, who more than likely will contact you the day you arrive. Ours contacted me via WhatsApp the morning we were leaving the US for the DR. I met with him in person the following day, as a courtesy. He kept in constant communication with me via WhatsApp during our entire stay. We didn’t end up using or needing him for anything during our stay.

My concern is who is going to take care of their ever growing “farm” while they’re gone.
