I just completed THE MOST AMAZING booking! ๐Ÿ˜

A wife and her two friends just booked an incredible trip to Mexico for them and their husbands, which they will be giving them for Christmasโ€ฆ.AS A SURPRISE ๐Ÿ˜ฒCan you imagine?!

And not just anywhereโ€ฆ.๐‚๐š๐ฌ๐š ๐™๐š๐ฆ๐ง๐š.

What is Casa Zamna? Let me explain.

Secrets Tulum is a beautiful resort that most people expect to be on the beach, but it ๐™„๐™Ž๐™‰โ€™๐™ actually on the beach โ€“ except the part that ๐™„๐™Ž on the beach.๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Confused yet? ๐Ÿ˜‚

Here's how it actually works: Secrets Tulum Resort & Beach Club has two completely different areas.

1๏ธโƒฃ THE MAIN RESORT
This is the big, gorgeous, jungle-style resort you see in the photos -- the circular buildings, rooftop pools, swim-up suites, restaurants, bars, entertainment, etc.

๐—œ๐˜ ๐—ถ๐˜€ ๐—ก๐—ข๐—ง ๐—ผ๐—ป ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—ฏ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐—ต.

When you want to go to the beach, there's a complimentary shuttle that takes you to the resort's beach club in Tulum's hotel zone.

2๏ธโƒฃ CASA ZAMNA
Casa Zamna is a small collection of accommodations ๐—”๐—ง ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—ฏ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐—ต ๐—ฐ๐—น๐˜‚๐—ฏ. Casa Zamna guests have their own beachfront accommodations, oceanfront pool, and exclusive restaurant, but they also have access to the main Secrets Tulum resort.

Which means ๐—ถ๐—ป๐˜€๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ฑ ๐—ผ๐—ณ ๐˜๐—ฎ๐—ธ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐˜€๐—ต๐˜‚๐˜๐˜๐—น๐—ฒ ๐˜๐—ผ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—ฏ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐—ต, ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚'๐—ฟ๐—ฒ ๐˜๐—ฎ๐—ธ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐˜€๐—ต๐˜‚๐˜๐˜๐—น๐—ฒ ๐˜๐—ผ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—บ๐—ฎ๐—ถ๐—ป ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐˜€๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐˜ when you want all of the restaurants, entertainment, and amenities over there.

Basically:

๐—ฆ๐˜๐—ฎ๐˜† ๐—ฎ๐˜ ๐—ฆ๐—ฒ๐—ฐ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐˜๐˜€ ๐—ง๐˜‚๐—น๐˜‚๐—บ:

And I've read many stories from travelers who have arrived and said, "๐‘คโ„Ž๐‘Ž๐‘ก ๐‘กโ„Ž๐‘’ โ„Ž๐‘’๐‘™๐‘™, ๐‘คโ„Ž๐‘’๐‘Ÿ๐‘’'๐‘  ๐‘กโ„Ž๐‘’ ๐‘๐‘’๐‘Ž๐‘โ„Ž?!"
Don't let that be you.๐Ÿ˜†

๐—œ๐—ณ ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚'๐—ฟ๐—ฒ ๐—ฎ ๐—ฝ๐—ผ๐—ผ๐—น ๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐˜€๐—ผ๐—ป, want the larger resort atmosphere, like having restaurants and entertainment right there at night, and the beach is something you'll visit rather than spend every day at, then I'd stay at the main resort.

๐—œ๐—ณ ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚'๐—ฟ๐—ฒ ๐—ฎ ๐—ฏ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐—ต ๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐˜€๐—ผ๐—ป, want something smaller and more intimate, like being right in Tulum's beach zone and don't mind taking the shuttle over when you want the larger resort experience, I'd look at Casa Zamna.

So when you see โ€œSecrets Tulumโ€ online, you have to realize it isnโ€™t your typical beach resort. And you will absolutely want to know about the different sections before you show up!๐Ÿ˜Ž

It's giving "Girls' Trip. ๐Ÿท

Five nights in Cancun. Direct flights. Adults only. No cooking, no driving, no children, and a resort with an entire personality built around wine.

I feel like I shouldn't have to work very hard to sell this idea. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Secrets The Vine Cancun is one of the more refined Secrets resorts. It's modern, upscale, and a little less tropical-resort-y than some of the others -- and, as the name suggests, wine is kind of a thing here.

Think wine tastings, a dedicated wine cellar, good food, a beautiful stretch of Cancun beach, luxurious spa days, and all the usual adults-only, all-inclusive Secrets perks.

I specifically looked at five nights for this one because I think that's kind of perfect for a girls' getaway:

Long enough to actually feel like you've gone away, but short enough to make it out of the group chat.๐Ÿ‘ˆ

๐Ÿ‚And just like that, everyone remembered winter is coming. ๐Ÿ˜‚

It happens every year. We get through summer, the kids go back to school, September hits...and suddenly everyone remembers that eventually Cape Breton is going to look like THIS again.

And my inbox starts filling up with people thinking about getting the hell out of here in January and February.

Which means we're officially entering the part of the year where I start saying this a LOT:

๐—œ๐—ณ ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚ ๐—ธ๐—ป๐—ผ๐˜„ ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚'๐—ฟ๐—ฒ ๐˜๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐—น๐—น๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐˜๐—ต๐—ถ๐˜€ ๐˜„๐—ถ๐—ป๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฟ, ๐—ฑ๐—ผ๐—ป'๐˜ ๐˜„๐—ฎ๐—ถ๐˜ ๐˜๐—ผ๐—ผ ๐—น๐—ผ๐—ป๐—ด ๐˜๐—ผ ๐—ฏ๐—ผ๐—ผ๐—ธ ๐—ถ๐˜.

Not because I'm trying to convince you that every resort is about to sell out tomorrow -- they aren't. And not because booking early automatically means you're going to get some amazing price. Sometimes prices go down. Sometimes they go up. I don't have a crystal ball and neither does anyone else.

๐—ช๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜ ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚ ๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ด๐—ต๐˜ ๐—ป๐—ผ๐˜„ ๐—ถ๐˜€ ๐—ฐ๐—ต๐—ผ๐—ถ๐—ฐ๐—ฒ.

โœˆDirect flights from Halifax on the dates you actually want.

๐Ÿ•‘Good flight times.

๐ŸจThe resort you wanted instead of the fourth one on your list.

๐Ÿ›Œ๐ŸปThe room category that works for your family instead of whatever happens to be left.

Because here's what starts happening from this point on:

โ–ช๏ธThe most convenient flights start filling up.
โ–ช๏ธCertain departure dates get harder to find.
โ–ช๏ธThe most affordable room categories disappear.
โ–ช๏ธFamily rooms disappear.
โ–ช๏ธSwim-outs disappear.

What you saw online a month or two ago might no longer available the way you expected it to be.

One of the worst parts of this job is having someone who has researched and found their ideal resort and is so excited to book, only to realize there are no entry-level rooms left, and the next most affordable is $700 more per person than they budgeted. It happens often, and I hate being the bearer of that bad news. ๐Ÿ˜”

And we're getting into the time of year when a whole lot of people are starting to look at the calendar and realizing that all those things they spent the summer saying were โ€œa September problemโ€...

Well.

It's September. ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

Vacation dates are getting sorted out. Groups are finally deciding where they're going. Families are looking at March Break. Couples are figuring out January and February. And they're all shopping from the same inventory.

That doesn't mean you need to panic-book something tonight.
โœ…But if you already know you're going away this winter, ๐˜๐—ต๐—ถ๐˜€ ๐—ถ๐˜€ ๐—ฎ ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐˜† ๐—ด๐—ผ๐—ผ๐—ฑ ๐˜๐—ถ๐—บ๐—ฒ ๐˜๐—ผ ๐˜€๐˜๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐˜ ๐—ณ๐—ถ๐—ด๐˜‚๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—ผ๐˜‚๐˜ ๐˜„๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ.

Because booking earlier isn't always about getting the lowest possible price. Sometimes it's about having more good options to choose from.

This is the newest, adults-only resort in the complex and sits at the top of the access food chain. ๐Ÿ˜‚ If you stay at the Riviera, ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚ ๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ ๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐—ฐ๐—ฒ๐˜€๐˜€ ๐˜๐—ผ ๐—ฎ๐—น๐—น ๐˜€๐—ถ๐˜… ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐˜€๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐˜๐˜€ on the complex, but guests at the ๐—ผ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—ฟ ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐˜€๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐˜๐˜€ ๐——๐—ข ๐—ก๐—ข๐—ง ๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ ๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐—ฐ๐—ฒ๐˜€๐˜€ to Riviera.

๐Ÿ”‘ So basically:

Beach / Caribe / Colonial / Tropical โ†’ access to 4
Palace โ†’ access to 5
Riviera Adults Only โ†’ access to all 6

And yes, this place is ๐๐ˆ๐†.

But that doesn't mean you're spending your vacation hiking from one end to the other. The resorts are connected by walking paths, a beachfront boardwalk, and complimentary double-decker buses travel throughout the complex day and night. ๐ŸšŒ

There is A LOT here beyond the individual hotels: multiple pools, kilometres of beachfront, restaurants and bars, theatres and entertainment, kids' facilities, sports, a shopping area, spa, nightclub, 24-hour sports bar, bowling, and more. There are even cenotes across the street from the entrance, within walking distance. ๐ŸŒŠ

It's particularly good for families or groups where everyone doesn't necessarily want the same vacation.

Grandma can sit at the beach. ๐Ÿ–๏ธ

The kids can spend half the day in a water park. ๐Ÿ’ฆ

Someone else can disappear to the sports bar. ๐Ÿป

The person who doesnโ€™t want to be in a pool with noisy, splash-y children can retreat to their adults only property and visit the others later. ๐Ÿ˜‚

๐Ÿค” Which one do I recommend? That depends.

๐Ÿ’ฒIf you're looking for good value, I usually start with Beach, Caribe, Colonial, or Tropical, and choose between them based on desired room category and price available for your dates.

๐Ÿ’ฒ๐Ÿ’ฒIf you want a step up and you're travelling with kids, Palace is worth comparing.

๐Ÿ’ฒ๐Ÿ’ฒ๐Ÿ’ฒAnd if you're travelling without kids and want the nicest overall option while still having access to everything else, Riviera Adults Only is the obvious one to look at.

The important thing is that when you see six different Barcelรณ Maya resorts come up in a search, you don't necessarily need to figure out which one has the best pool, restaurant, or evening entertainment. Depending on which section you're staying in, you may be able to use all of those things anyway.

That's what makes this complex a little confusing to explain, but also one of the reasons it's such a good option once you understand how it works.

If youโ€™re interested in vacationing in Riviera Maya, the Barcelรณ complex is definitely one to keep on your radar. ๐ŸŒด We loved it there and would most definitely return!
