Learn all about how you communicate (with help from the planets).
Let me start off by saying: I hate being bad at things. If I’m not immediately good at something new, my gut instinct is to never do it again. Throughout my life, I’ve started and quit so many activities—ballet, gymnastics, diving, horseback riding—and told myself it was because I’m a person who simply gets bored too easily. I suspect this attitude has something to do with “being a pleasure to have in class” all throughout school; I got good grades, never got in trouble, and everything came pretty easily to me. Failure just wasn’t something I was accustomed to.
Rest assured, I’ve been working on adjusting this rigid way of thinking (shout out to my therapist), and when I was invited to stay at Ava Resort Cancún in Mexico for their grand opening, I knew I’d be angry with myself if I didn’t take advantage of some new-to-me activities they had to offer. Sure, sitting by the pool all day is lovely—and impossible to fail at—but I wanted to put my therapy skills to the test. My goal: Try things I’ve never done before, and truly be okay with not being perfect on the first go.
But first, a bit about Ava Resort Cancún
Ava Resort Cancún is an all-inclusive, five-star resort that recently opened in October 2024. It’s located in Cancún, Quintana Roo, Mexico, right on the Caribbean Sea and only a 10-minute drive from Cancún International Airport. An Ava shuttle was waiting for me at the airport when I landed, but any guest can arrange transportation services through the resort.
The property has 1,700 rooms, all of which have oceanfront views (yes, really). When booking, you can choose from three options, with prices starting at $600 USD at the time of publishing:
- Oceanfront king or queen room ($600/night):Features a king bed or two queen guest rooms, a spa-inspired bathroom, and a private terrace with a small spa tub.
- Ava Gala Suite ($1,900/night): Features two bedrooms, two double beds, a living room, a workspace, a master bath, and a private terrace.
- Ava Penthouse Suite ($2,500/night): Features a master bedroom with a walk-in closet and private terrace, a second bedroom with a private terrace, two bathrooms, a living room and kitchen, and a main terrace with a 6-person spa tub.
I was in an oceanfront king room for four nights, which featured the above amenities. While on the expensive side, it was honestly exactly what I would expect for $600 a night—better than any Hilton or Marriott I’ve stayed in. The private terrace overlooking the Caribbean Sea really sealed the deal for me. Even if you were to spend the whole day lounging in bed (which I certainly did not), you still feel like you’re in Mexico, thanks to the massive sliding glass door to the terrace where you can still see the beach.
