Just got back to the US from staying at Impression today and it feels like waking up from a dream. I also stayed at Finest Playa Mujeres a couple years ago and Impression beats Excellence/Finest in every category 5x. We had such a seamless, enjoyable experience and their staff was absolutely top notch. Also tried Teodoro and that had to be one of the coolest restaurant experiences we’ve ever had. Glad you guys had a similar experience!
My husband and I are going in November and cannot wait! We went to Atelier Playa Mujeres in May to celebrate our one year anniversary. I'll just say, Impressions Moxche has competition, lol 😆. If you haven't tried Atelier yet, do it!! Best food and top quality drinks of any all-inclusive I've been to. Also the service was amazing there as well.
November can’t come soon enough lol! I hope you have an amazing stay like we did, literally top notch. I haven’t tried Atelier so I’ll definitely add that to our list, looks beautiful!
We have been Excellence loyal for over 15yrs.. had our honeymoon in 2004 in punta cana... and have been vacationing yearly at either ERC or EPM ... however, we have defected a few times to Atelier and various Secrets... heading back to Atelier in October... but will definitely try out Moxche ... the experience.. got to say Excellence has somewhat dropped down a notch... BUT , Coral in Playa will open in January 2025 .. supposed to be upscale Excellence.. we are booked for May!!! Enjoyed your video!
It was pretty easy! Airport is very small. Make sure you have your transportation booked before you get there. The most annoying part is bypassing the sales people at the airport. Follow the instructions from your airport transfer and go straight outside after you finish with customs. Don’t stop for the people saying they will help you find your transfer, they will try to sell you excursions. Just don’t make eye contact, say no thank you and go outside and your transfer will likely hold a sign with either your name or the company name. Once you find them, they’ll get you to the hotel. Roads are pretty good too.
My fiancé and I plan on going for 7 days at the start of September. Can you speak on the resort activities? It looks like there are plenty of included activities such as: Snorkeling Bike tours Archery Paddle Board Tennis Classes: cocktails and dance Catamaran We are both pretty adventurous in nature. Did you try any of these? Thanks!
So excited for you! So we really didn’t so any of the activities, we’re probably the exact opposite of you and your fiancé lol , we just relaxed and hung out by the pool all day! I will say, our butler sent me the activities every morning and was super helpful if I had any questions. Next time, we’ll do better and try a couple out lol!
Hello! My fiance and I will be going in November for our honeymoon! thank you for this video… just a few questions. just confirming booking the impressions side we will automatically get a butler? do we have access to massages facials etc that’s included or that would be an additional charge? how long is the commute from airport to the resort? we haven’t done all inclusive before but every meal and drink no matter what we order is “included” and not out of our pocket? is tipping expected for the butler per service he would do for us? Thank you!!! 🎉😊
Hi! Omg so exciting, this is place is perfect for a honeymoon! Also congrats on the marriage! Yes, i believe all rooms on the Impression side get butlers. We booked the basic level room and got a butler. If you book a facial or anything at the spa that is an additional charge unless when you booked it said comes with free facial. Sometimes it may come with free hydrotherapy but likely not a facial. The commute was about 45 minutes. Book your transportation before getting there. You can book it through the hotel (costs extra) or separately. I used USA Transfers and it was cheaper. So most things are included but there are some extra you can add on like specialty restaurants. You’d have to book those separately so it’s hard to accidentally go to a place that’s out of pocket. And then there may be like a specialty wine menu but they’ll ask you if you want it. If you’re staying in like a suite or for 5 days, you get one of the specialty restaurants for free (Teodora) so make sure you ask about that restaurant if it applies to you. They’ll also send you an email beforehand with some of the extras you can pay for. We did none of these and had an amazing time and ate great food so don’t feel pressured.
As for tipping, it’s not really expected or pushed but appreciated. We aren’t heavy tippers in countries where that’s not necessarily the culture. If you use your butler a lot, a tip would be nice at the end or if you want to do a couple bucks as get help each time that’s fine but we didn’t feel the pressure or expectation. Some people tip a couple bucks with drinks and food but we definitely didn’t feel the pressure at all. For us, we do all-inclusive so we don’t have to think about money at all on the trip. Regardless we got great service!

I was looking for a special place to visit and it looks like this is exactly what I am looking for!

Thank you for this. We are former EPM addicts. Looking to move on and we are booked for Impression Moxche next October.

Is the regular Moxche side good also?
How was the airport and the 45min drive to the resort? a little nervous tbh
