New Resorts Openings in 2024
One of the many benefits of working with a professional travel agent is our industry knowledge. We make it a priority to learn about all new or enhanced travel experiences — from brand-new hotels in dazzling destinations to refurbished cruise ships that feel completely modern — and we share that information to help you have the vacation of a lifetime. To keep you up to date, here are four all-inclusive resorts in Mexico and the Caribbean that opened in 2024 that we think should be on your radar.
SECRETS® PLAYA BLANCA COSTA MUJERES
A serene tropical getaway in Mexico, Secrets Playa Blanca Costa Mujeres is an idyllic spot to enjoy luxurious suites, flawless dining, limitless drinks, endless activities and romantic celebrations. It’s the perfect blend of convenience — located just 12 miles from Cancun — and relaxation, thanks to an expansive white-sand beach and 507 modern suites. Some of our favorite activities here include chilling in a jungle-inspired pool, spending as much time as possible in their 18,000-square-foot spa and escaping on a day trip to nearby Isla Contoy National Park.

SECRETS® TIDES PUNTA CANA
An all-inclusive, adults-only resort in the Dominican Republic, Secrets® Tides Punta Cana’s 688 luxurious suites evoke the ambiance of an upscale residential community, albeit one with stunning garden or ocean vistas. What we love about this place are the options. When it comes to food, you can choose among nine unique dining establishments, including six à la carte restaurants. For entertainment, you have live shows, nightly shows, theme nights, a sports bar, nightclub and dance classes. Add multiple spa services, fitness areas and on-site recreation, and you can fill your days here however you wish.

DREAMS® ESTRELLA DEL MAR MAZATLÁN GOLF & SPA RESORT
Mazatlán is known as the “Pearl of Mexico’s Pacific Coast,” and Dreams® Estrella del Mar Mazatlán Golf & Spa Resort is another gem at this sparkling destination. Here you’ll find miles of golden beaches bordering some of the calmest turquoise waters imaginable. Plus, the city is a pleasure to explore thanks to a variety of museums, historic sites and an expansive boardwalk. Amid it all is this stunning, new resort featuring 358 suites, each with a furnished balcony or terrace, including some that offer direct access to a pool.

HYATT VIVID GRAND ISLAND
While we believe that every type of traveler could enjoy an all-inclusive resort, the casual, down-to-earth atmosphere of Hyatt Vivid Grand Island is ideal for younger adults. The high-rise resort encourages you to bask in barefoot luxury at Ennea Beach Club before heading up to take in the 360-degree Cancun views from the rooftop pool. Its earth-toned, Mayan-inspired suites have a bohemian flair, along with private, furnished balconies and a daily refreshed minibar.
