Family-friendly and all-inclusive, travelers can expect a variety of dining options from the hotel’s nine restaurants and bars. When it comes time for adults to get a little time away from the kiddos, 18+ travelers might consider a visit to Secrets® Aura Cozumel, a neighboring adults-only property that welcomes Dreams Resort & Spas guests.

Secrets Impression Moxché Playa Del Carmen

After pushing its opening from June 2022 to early October 2022, Secrets Impression Moxché promises to bring “exquisite taste and exotic views” to the Riviera Maya with the introduction of the Impression concept to the Secrets portfolio. This fabulous new property boasts an enviable location just a 10-minute drive from Playa del Carmen’s popular Quinta Avenida where travelers can peruse local shops and wine and dine at over a dozen restaurants and bars. The resort itself is set on an expansive strip of white sand beach and was designed with the finer things in mind, focusing on the same Unlimited-Luxury® experience that travelers have come to expect from the Secrets brand.

However, while travelers can always expect all the glamorous bells and whistles when they stay at any Secrets resort, Secrets Impression Moxché ups the ante as an all adult, all suite, all butler service hotel. The resort takes a more private, more personalized approach to the all-inclusive experience with upscale suites and extravagant beachfront villas paired with breathtaking views to match. Each room is decorated in a rustic-chic style that feels simultaneously modern, yet down-to-earth with private, furnished balconies and terraces, 24-hour room service and a mini-bar that’s refreshed daily.

Delta Hotels Green Community, Dubai

A Marriott Bonvoy brand, Delta Hotels recently opened Delta Hotels Green Community, Dubai, a modern and stylish property situated within the hustle and bustle of the Dubai Investment Park. Whether travelers are visiting for work or for pleasure, they’ll find that this new hotel offers all the comforts of home in tandem with a great location just 30 minutes or less by car to many of the city’s major attractions — the Burj Khalifa, JBR Beach, the Dubai Frame, Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo and more.

After a long day, travelers will return to guest rooms fitted with excellent accommodations including premium bedding and towels, flat-screen TVs with satellite channels, bottled water, tea and coffee and a comfortable workspace for those taking advantage of WFA (work from anywhere).

“I am thrilled and honored to lead the W Sydney team,” said Craig Seaward, general manager of W Hotel Sydney. “The hotel holds a prime position in Sydney’s entertainment district, and its bold design and electric energy will transform the Darling Harbour precinct and turn traditional luxury on its head.”

Secrets Impression Isla Mujeres

Another member of the Secrets Impression concept, Secrets Impression Isla Mujeres is the ultimate romantic retreat with all-inclusive service, adults-only vibes and remote cliffside views. And when I say remote, I mean remote, to get to this secluded getaway travelers must hop on an ocean catamaran, sailing 10-minutes from the Cancun mainland to charming Isla Mujeres. The property is cozy and intimate perched upon a five-mile stretch of beach dotted with lush vegetation and not a single bad view in sight.
