Secrets Maroma review from Erin Miller

Secrets Maroma Beach Riviera Cancun is a 6 Golden Apple Resort. This resort is one of my all time favorites and many of the agents I am with love it as well!  I would have to say the BEST part of this property is the beach -the sand is so white and soft and the water is crystal blue and turquoise.

This resort is adults only and is perfect for honeymooners or any one celebrating a special event or even perfect for a girls getaway!

They have an AMAZING spa and also a wedding coordinator right on site to plan your special day. With Maroma beach as your backdrop, the wedding pictures will be amazing!

This resort is only 20 miles from the Cancun Airport and only 15 minutes from shopping and dining for your clients in Playa Del Carmen! And don’t forget non stop transfers are included when you book Secrets Maroma with Apple Vacations.

A Review of Grand Sirenis from Erin Miller

Grand Sirenis is a 5 Golden Apple Resort just north of Dreams Tulum.  If you are staying at this hotel, I would recommend adding the non-stop transfers to your vacation package, so you can get to this spectacular resort in about an hour.

This resort is great for groups, couples, honeymooners and families and offers plenty of activities during the day and evening for both children and adults. One nice feature here for families is that they have a lazy river on site and they also provide the rafts! Another good feature at the Grand Sirenis is that they actually have Mayan Ruins on site, so you can experience the ruins right at the resort!

Exclusive just for Apple Vacations guests is that they have weekly parties on the beach with dinner and entertainment!

Dreams Tulum Resort & Spa

I received another review from Apple Vacations’ Erin Miller who is currently in Riviera Maya! Stayed tuned all weekend long for up to date info one each of the hotels.

Hello from Dreams Tulum Resort & Spa! This is a 6 Golden Apple Resort. This property is located right in Tulum, so it is about a 75-minute drive from Cancun Airport. But remember, Apple Vacations offers non-stop transfers to Dreams Tulum and all Zoetry, Secrets, Dreams & Now Resorts in Riviera Maya & Cancun. This hotel is a great choice if you plan to visit The Mayan Ruins in Tulum and also Xcaret park, as it is very close.

One of the best things I like most about this property is how nice the beach is! You can walk for miles down the beach and will not see another resort, they are the last resort in Riviera Maya! The beach is beautiful as well with soft white sand and calm blue water! Dreams Tulum offers 2 styles of rooms throughout the property, the Premium Suites which are in the newer buildings. These suites are only about 2 years old. They also offer the Hacienda Section which is the older but renovated section, and the style of these rooms is a more Mexican Hacienda feeling. Another good feature of this resort is  they actually have a wedding chapel on site. The chapel is very charming with lots of wood, a very Mexican feeling, and perfect for a destination wedding!

Now Jade & Now Sapphire

I just received a review of Now Jade & Now Sapphire from Apple Vacations employee Erin Miller who is escorting a trip in Riviera Maya right… Now!

Now Jade Riviera Cancun, our host hotel, is located only 12 miles from the Airport only about a 20 minute drive from the Cancun Airport — so this property is great 3 or 4 night trips! The check-in was very easy and if your clients are staying in the preferred club section they can check in right here! They also have use of all the amenities that come with the Preferred Club including internet access free of charge, continental breakfast, snacks all day, and a preferred club pool, just to name a few! This resort is a great resort for couples, groups, and families, and offers plenty of activities all day and into the evening. The beach is beautiful, soft white sand and crystal blue water! The rooms here are very spacious junior suites that offer garden views, ocean views, pool views and ocean-front views. The food here is delicious with an ocean view buffet and 6 a la carte restaurants! Lots of choices.

Now Sapphire Riviera Cancun — We did an evening site inspection here and had a delicious dinner. This resort was one of the agents personal favorites! Now Sapphire is located just north of Puerto Morelos and is only a short 15 minute drive from the airport. The resort has beautiful, well maintained grounds, soft white sand beaches and also calm waters due to the protected reef. Rooms are spacious, all junior suites offering furnished balconies or terraces, stocked mini bars and jacuzzis in each room!

Remember Now Resorts offer Unlimited Luxury®, meaning no towel cards, no dining restrictions, no reservations for any of the a la carte dining, 24 hour room service and much more!  Apple Vacations also provides non-stop transfers to our clients staying at Now Resorts.
