If you are going to Riviera Maya or Punta Cana in the new year please check the resort pages here for changes as both resorts have added a “Select” tier which will impact availability of amenities.
For those of you arriving in the Riviera Maya Melanie has shared this For your information, ” I arrived January 12th and will leave January 19th, I mentioned that I booked in September and would like access to white sands restaurants and convenience. They offered me a white sand bracelet and I booked 6 restaurants in 7 days , very happy with the service and I didn’t have to complain either.”
