Lots of info for families taking kids . My daughter is 5, so my tips are perhaps centered around that age group. I found an inflatable booster seat on Amazon that has been super handy. It also has a strap to hold the shoulder belt away from their neck as well. We also use this as a booster seat at restaurants here. The restaurants have high chairs but not booster seats. I’ll post a pic of it with the description. You can use it on the plane but not during taxi, takeoff, or landing. We found we did not use it on the plane, but definitely when using taxis, buses, and Uber. Super fast to inflate, like 5 breaths, and instantly deflated to store.
We brought an iPad mini which we’ve used at restaurants with headphones. Service can take a bit. I also brought a small sketchbook and some pens and crayons. The kids menu is not always listed, but just ask. They totally cater to the kids and love to make them happy. There are also kids mocktail drinks. The apple juice is a little different, my daughter didn’t like it. But she has enjoyed the lemonade, and they make her a smoothie with coconut cream, pinapple and strawberry that she loves.
My daughter is on the autism spectrum, so meltdowns and anxiety are common. I found a chewable supplement that helps her a lot. We just use it occasionally when she’s feeling really tired or overwhelmed. Details in pics. Also brought kids Dramamine. The gift store here does have kids Tylenol. They have a lot of adult meds, but not a lot of kid meds.
I’ll post more tips later! Off to dinner at the Nest!
There are tons of fun creatures around! The monkey at the sanctuary will hold your hand ! We found tiny frogs at night jumping on the paths. Hawk at family selection. Crabs all over the tide pools.

Ultimately the long term goal of this alliance is to allow the Palladium Hotel Group to expand and offer its guests more options & more locations.
There have been some recent updates:
All guests will have access to the Infinity pool. There will be a separate reserved area for Signature guests.
All guests will have access to the Sky bar. Premium drinks will be included for Signature level guests.

Response from management:
Hi Anne,
I can perfectly understand there will be many questions.
It’s all very simple. Wyndhan is the biggest hotel franchise, with millions of members. They were looking for luxury hotels that could be added to one of their top brands: Registry Collection Hotels
And then we have access to their distribution channels.
We could say it’s something similar than the type of partnership we have with Leading Hotels of the World. It’s not exactly like that but very similar.
Perhaps, we can also see it as if, in this case, Wyndham was something like Vacances Air Transat or Apple Vacation, that include certain hotels in special programs.
At the end, they can offer more luxury All Inclusive Hotels and we can access to a great distribution channel.
I hope I have solved any doubt, my dear.
Have a great day!

Welcome. I believe it is $95 per day pp for five days. If the guest has not recovered after five days it can be extended to ten days. There may be additional costs for additional test (s).

The Northern Region includes the municipalities of Benito Juarez (Cancun), Isla Mujeres, Puerto Morelos, Solidaridad (Playa del Carmen), Cozumel, Tulum and Lazaro Cardenas.
According to the guidelines, Green means 80% maximum allowed capacity at hotels, restaurants, theme parks, beaches, public parks & cinemas, 50% at bars and nightclubs, and 80% on public transportation. Schools are now classified as essential and can open with normal capacity.
As of 15 December 2020, a decree makes the wearing of masks in all public spaces mandatory in the entire state.
The white parties will be pink parties for the month of October to recognize Breast Cancer Awareness month.
Thursday Turquesa
For the week beginning Ocotber 4 the color code will be Yellow. The Feder Color is Green but the
State color takes precedence.

There are some minor damages which affected mostly the gardens and public outdoor areas as expected, but nothing significant to worry about.
In the Riviera Maya area electricity has been on/off during the last 12hrs.
Please know that our amazing Operations Team is cleaning all the areas and getting ready to resume operations, rest assure all our Grand Palladium Hotels & TRS Hotels in Riviera Maya and Costa Mujeres are open and will be operating normally by the end of the day today.
Nevertheless, the Safety and well-being of our Guests and employees is our highest priority. We continue monitoring hurricane Grace, and the severe weather policy remains in place for guests unable to arrive or depart, due to flight delays and cancellations in the neighboring airports in the areas which have been or are about to be impacted.Hurricane protocols

The color codes for Quintana Roo is updated every Thursday. The government is currently reviewing the situation.
The colour represents the level of risk, and therefore what is allowed to be open.
The colour is determined by the examination of several factors such as the level of contagion, number of cases, hospital occupancy, etc.Red (maximum risk) means everything is closed except for essential services/activities, for example supermarkets, pharmacies, medical services, banks, laundries. Tourism is classified as essential, so tourists are welcome to come to Mexico. Hotels/resorts can remain open but with a maximum capacity limit.
Orange (high risk) means restrictions are eased for some services/activities. Restaurants (for dining in), theme parks, cenotes, theatres, cinemas, commercial centres are allowed to open with limits to capacity and health protocols in place.
Yellow (moderate risk) means more services/activities can open, capacities can increase (typically to 60%), and beaches can reopen. Archaeological zones can also open under Yellow.
Green (low risk) means everything can reopen. Bars, nightclubs, gyms, schools and parks remain closed until the colour changes to Green.
The above was based on the original guidelines which have been changing.
This is an excellent article describing the “Behind the Scenes” logistics at the GP Riviera Maya. Well worth a read.
Currently five nests & approx. 600 eggs

Happy Thursday
