Giant Towers

In preparation for the coming theme park, a huge gondola system is being built to run from the Park to the Beach with some stations in between. One will be between Luxxe Tower 5 and the Residence tower. The towers are all in place and guests of Towers 5 and 6 on the north side of the building will have quite a bit of construction noise. They are calling it Sky Dream and there are signs up everywhere.

Restaurant Name Changes


The French restaurant Azur has been renamed to Etonne and the Blue Fish next to Luxxe 1 Pools has been renamed to Limon y Sal. The menu seems pretty much the same for both.If you want to sample street food, tacos, quesedillas without leaving the resort, check out the Tacos Break on the third floor of La Plaza. They also have Etiques which is a delicious recipe of Elote (a type of sweet corn) in a cup with mayonnaise, sour cream and various spices added. Prices are very reasonable.

 

Lakes Golf Course

It might not be totally new , but the Lakes golf course deserves a mention. It is a creative, beautiful par 3 , 9 hole course that runs through the middle of the resort.  . It is lit for night golf and Luxxe guests can buy a package from the concierge including club rental for per 9 holes  Be sure to check what tee times are left before you buy the package.   We have created a small photo album just for this course.  Note, you might want to take a bunch of water balls with you.  They don't call it Lakes for nothing.

Shuttles Are Improved

With all the growth, suThe shuttle system seems to be very functional now. You can get a shuttle all the way to the taxi stand or valet parking , as well as to the beach and/or the Havana moon restaurant. The beach shuttle is currently #4 and runs from the Santuario.  Sorry , we never think to take a photo of the shuttles !

Construction

In addition to the above mentioned gondola system, they are putting in a beach club like the one in Riviera Maya. It looks like it will be even bigger. As a result walking access to the beach and the beautiful grounds is limited to walking down through the Punta pools area at the south end of the resort or through the Grand Mayan or Grand Bliss pools at the north end of the resort.  . The Mayan Palace and Adult pools are all closed and I suspect they will be gone permanently.  🙁  Work on the Estates continues slowly on the other side of the river.  They are supposed to be open for reservations in February 2021.  Work on the theme park, Cirque du Soleil etc seems to have stopped for the time being?? Actually there are dump trucks bringing loads of dirt, but not much else.  We have heard at least a half dozen estimates on opening dates starting with last year !!  Finally , off site, the East Cape development in Cabo is continuing and some units may be open next year.  

One casualty of construction are the tennis courts.  Currently,  there are none.  Hopefully they will be rebuilt . 

Tower 6 Royale

Tower 6 is a shorter 5 story tower that is recently completed. The units here are smaller units with Luxxe type décor. Some contracts for these units have been sold and if luxxe owners call too late for reservations , they may be given the option of a Royale unit.   We will do a complete review with photos soon.  

There are one bedroom and two bedroom units. The one bedroom have tiny balconies and only tiny fridge and tiny two burner stove. The Two bedroom has the same minimal kitchen and a small balcony that cuts into the building and has little furniture. You may be picking up that these are not my favorite units.
