During a recent trip to AVA Resort Cancun I had an amazing time filled with all the things I enjoy and most especially – an all inclusive experience. This property is ultra-luxury set along a secluded stretch of Cancún’s Hotel Zone, just a 10-minute drive from the airport. It is one of the largest new resorts in Cancún (1,600+ oceanfront suites), built around a dramatic, sail-inspired “let’s dive in” pools and lagoon. Just standing on your room balcony you feel the call to come and relax by the pool or glide along the lagoon on a paddle board.

Every room, suite, and villa boasts floor-to-ceiling windows and private terraces overlooking the Caribbean and standard rooms have a spacious layouts (~463 sq ft interior + 108 sq ft terrace), smart TVs, Nespresso machines, spa tubs, and plush robes. Are you feeling the luxury.  

If you’d like to extend your luxury experience, you may choose suites and villas ranging from Family & Friends Suites with living zones, daybeds, and plunge pools, to grand Panoramic Villas with multiple bedrooms, kitchens, spa tubs, and butler service. There is something for everyone to say, “yes, please!”

Cuisine – oh, yes. When I travel I want to try the local cuisine and I especially like finding the creative and inspiring options where chefs have taken their local specialities a “creative step” further. At AVA Resort Cancun there are 17 bars and restaurants each with a global flair – from modern Mexican at Copal and hand-rolled tacos to Mediterranean (Livo), Peruvian (Aji), Italian (Veranda), French (Chez Moi), teppanyaki (Kita & Minami), and gourmet buffet markets. Something for your the tastes you have been craving and also finding something new and delicious. 

Any nighttime entertainment must be filled with the unique and special AVA Resort vibe and you’ll find just that around the property –  the sleek digital-art display at Digit NFT Bar, swanky Cocktail Bar, lively swim-up bars, a whiskey lounge, speakeasy, and nighttime club life – it’s all there. When talking about cuisine, I can’t leave off spots where a simple relaxing bite becomes an extra-special moment in your day with a gourmet ice cream cone at Konos and freshly baked pastries options at Aroma coffee shop. All good, all delicious.

 Fill the day with water activities right on property.  A 2.8-acre sustainable saltwater lagoon for paddleboarding, kayaking, floating cabanas—and uses 50× less energy and 100× fewer chemicals than typical pools.  How’s that for conservation. Your choice of pools includes adult-only, family-friendly, swim-up bar pools, and a vibrant waterpark for younger guests. While were on the subject of family and bringing along the kids, the Kid’s Club with  crafts and water fun; Teen Lounge with bowling, AR games means kids are free (and safe) to have their own fun while mom and dad have their day too. 

One day I spent most of the day in the luxe spa having an experience that could only be topped by doing it all over again.  A full hydrotherapy circuit, sauna, mud room, facials, and indulgent treatments in VIP cabins. Yes, please. And, for those of you who like to workout on vacation, the state-of-the-art fitness center has everything you need from group classes like yoga, Pilates, spin and more. It’s your day, work at making it the best.

I can’t leave off shopping. It there for more than souvenirs. Did you forget an important item – you’ll find it in one of the shops. Everything for swimwear to fine jewelry.

AVA Resort Cancun offers a stunningly modern, fully oceanfront all-inclusive experience with luxe accommodations, an upscale culinary scene, an eco-lagoon centerpiece, and entertainment for all ages. It’s your ideal spot for your next family getaway, girlfriends gathering, guy trip or with your special someone.
