RIU Palace Costa Rica

Blog, EJtheTravelDiva Blog, Resort Reviews

In November 2021, I decided to take a vacation to the rainforest country known as Costa Rica, which is in Central America. Costa Rica is known for its beaches, volcanoes, and biodiversity. During my 3-week stay, of working and vacationing, I spent 2 weeks a Planet Hollywood Costa Rica and 1 Week at Hotel RIU Palace Costa Rica. Built in 2012 and renovated in 2019, RIU Palace Costa Rica is an all-inclusive hotel found on the beach in Guanacaste, Costa Rica which is about 20 minutes from the Libera Airport. The resort is huge and sits next to neighboring Riu Guanacaste where you have access to that property, during the day, as well as the Splash Water World Water Park. This resort had your typical RIU feel to it. Everything in white with a…

Planet Hollywood Costa Rica Review

Blog, Destination Reviews, EJtheTravelDiva Blog, Resort Reviews

Planet Hollywood Costa Rica has a motto of vacation like a star. This motto comes into play as soon as you step out of your vehicle and into the lobby. Once you are dropped off, you enter the lobby down a red carpet with lights flashing, the sounds of cameras clicking and the staff clapping your arrival like the VIP Star that you are. The welcoming to the resort is such an amazing way to start the introduction to the resort and as well as your vacation. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Erica James || Travel Expert (@ejthetraveldiva) The location from Liberia airport to Planet Hollywood Costa Rica is about a 35 – 40-minute drive to this all-inclusive resort that is found on black sand beach,…

My Stay: Reflect Krystal Grand Los Cabos Review

EJtheTravelDiva Blog, Resort Reviews

I was on a business trip in Cabo San Lucas and Reflect Krystal Grand Los Cabos was the host hotel for my 3 days of stay. Located about 20 minutes from the Los Cabos International Airport, the resort sits directly on the beach with stunning views of the ocean. Reflect Krystal Grand is not an adult-only resort and open to all travelers and includes a kids club for the little ones, as well as it is all-inclusive. I stayed 3 days at this resort, and it was an interesting stay. Here is my review on my stay and the resort. Hotel Check-in As soon as my transportation pulled into the entry way of the resort, I was already feeling some type of way about the resort. The first impression was not favorable.…

Here’s What You Need To Know About Planet Hollywood Cancun

Blog, EJtheTravelDiva Blog, Resort Reviews

In the spirit of Valentine’s Day and love, and by that, I mean self-love…I jumped on a plane and headed to Mexico, not only to celebrate the day with myself but to check out the brand new Planet Hollywood Beach Resort in Cancun. Entering Mexico Currently, there are no COVID-19 protocols or requirements to travel to and gain entry into Mexico. A passport is required, as usual, and that is about it. However, as of January 26, 2021, a negative PCR test is required for all travelers flying into the United States aged two and older. You must take the test no more than three days before your flight. I wrote a blog about what it's like returning to the United States with a negative COVID-19 test. My original travel date…

It is an adult only, all-inclusive resort that lives up to the name of CHIC. Located on Uvero Alto beach, it is just a short ride from Punta Cana International Airport – approximately 15-minutes. CHIC is not a huge resort nor is it small. I find it to be the perfect size where everything is a short walking distance…

Sandals Royal Bahamian

All Inclusive Resorts, Blog, EJtheTravelDiva Blog, Resort Reviews

Looking for Luxury at it's finest? If you are looking for luxury, relaxation, and a vacation that will wow you, Sandals Royal Bahamian is the vacation for you! I use the word, vacation, lightly because to me, it was more of an experience than a vacation. I walked into the hotel and was greeted with a warm smile, class, and a glass of champagne--first class check in. I was already impressed before I got to my room. I did not have to worry about any luggage. My bags were in my room by the time I reached my room. It took me sometime to get to my room because I had to stop and take in the view. The view was even better from my room, as I opened my…
