John's Travel Update August 12, 2022

If you have kids: Happy "Back To School" Time to your families! It's also a good time to think about trips you'll want to take over the holidays and spring break. And this is the "bad news" part of this update: airfares are insanely expensive this year for peak holiday times. Crazy expensive. I recently had a family pay over $1,000 PER TICKET to go from Chicago to Cancun. There are some options, of course, to get that number a little lower - but planning WAY ahead has been an antidote to these prices. OK - now on to some GOOD NEWS!

Resort Spotlight:
Valentin Imperial Riviera Maya (Adults Only!)

The spectacular Valentin Imperial Riviera Maya beach, Playa del Secreto (Cancun International Airport is the closest airport), is one of the best in the area with secluded half-mile long pristine white sand beach by the turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea. There is direct access from the resort and no public access nearby for more privacy. Palapas, loungers, and 2 bars with service on the beach along with the exclusive *Privé* section with Bali Beds.

Valentin Imperial Riviera Maya - Golden Pool

There is a more secluded section of the Valentin Imperial Riviera Maya called the Golden section. Peaceful and quiet, it features and amazing “lazy river” type of pool that can be accessed directly from all the Golden Swim Up Jr. Suites on property. There is a bar, a snack bar and a concierge at the entrance of all 3 buildings.


Here's why I LOVE this resort: The Valentin Imperial Riviera Maya offers the amazing décor of an elegant Mexican hacienda, with stunning architecture, lush gardens and a laidback atmosphere. I travel to different countries to enjoy the culture and architecture: this resort is definitely in the vein of a true Mexico-style resort.


Valentin Imperial Riviera Maya - Beach

Enjoy unlimited dining in seven a la carte luxury restaurants with no reservations, one buffet with a la carte breakfast option and many other irresistible extras for an additional fee. Vegetarian options, gluten free options, special dietary needs options available.
