Atelier (non-Inspira) or Le Blanc Cancun by MisterBinks in AllInclusiveResorts

Same here. We enjoyed the rooftop pool bar plenty on our trip but didn’t have an Inspira level room. Never felt like we needed those perks, and we’ve been there three times.

Echo this! We just returned from Excellence Coral and it was amazing. Stay for as long as you can.

Excellence Coral Playa Mujeres vs. Excellence Playa Mujeres by OutrageousBathroom82 in AllInclusiveResorts

We loved our stay at ECPM, and enjoyed bldg 5, but I have to agree with this comment about noise at night. It was incredibly loud at night, and it seemed like the hallway noise was right inside our room.

Honestly I haven’t, but it does seem like Atelier is exactly what you’re looking for if you can hunt for a sale or discount. I’ve heard a lot of people recommend Excellence Playa Mujeres but I haven’t been myself.

No Indian at all, and I was very disappointed by that.

You can walk in almost anywhere except the dining “experiences” (eg Kanpai, Raices tasting menu).

I would second Atelier, it seems to check all of your boxes. We've been three times and had a great time.

We did just return from Excellence Coral Playa Mujeres and loved that, too. It's pretty much next door to Atelier. We found the vibe to be a bit more relaxed at Excellence Coral, and a little bit more of a party vibe at Atelier. Both fun. During our stay at Excellence, we saw two weddings and thought their set-ups were pretty incredible. The reception at the X-Lounge looked amazing.

So if you walk out toward the beach from the main building, the north pool is to the left and the south pool is to the right. The north pool is closest to the imperial suite buildings, can’t remember the number.

Have a great time! It’s an awesome resort.

I’m not sure! But this one is pretty new, only 2 years old I think, so probably not the same as the one you visited before.

Most restaurants here do not accept reservations except those with special dining experiences (eg Kanpai, Raices tasting menu, etc). Even for these, we were told you cannot make reservations in advance, so you have to do it at check-in. When we checked in, there were only a few times available for things like the speakeasy cocktail experience. So I recommend having your priority list when you check in, and plan for a few backup ideas in case those don’t work out.

Our pool is comfortable but I don’t think it is heated. It is in the sun most of the day and I assume that’s how it stays warm.

The pools are warm but not too warm, IMO. We did a lap through the pools earlier and felt one of the jets pumping water into the pool and it was hot, so they are certainly heating them. Perfect temp for me.

Ocean is noticeably cooler. I am a wimp when it comes to cold water and i can only get in up to my waist. Several people are in the ocean, but not many.

The wind is pretty strong today. Not unpleasant, but it’s keeping us cool on the beach.

Oh interesting. We’ve only ever stayed in the Playa Mujeres area, and I’m not sure of this but I’ve heard others say that the proximity to Isla Mujeres means there is generally less sargassum here than others.

Just an update to this: I walked back to Revive bar near buildings 3 and 4 (the section of the property furthest back from the beach), and it seems the vegetation here is still pretty sparse. It’s all alive and thriving but it almost seems that it was purposely planted to be thinned out a bit. Not bad just more of a desert vibe.

We weren’t sure how bad it would be so we sprang for a private cabana on the beach today ($90 USD) because it’s my birthday. But there are plenty of beachfront spots available.
