Unlimited Family Fun at Seadust Cancun
There’s a whole lot of magic going on at Seadust Resort Cancun, an all-inclusive family-friendly property centrally located in the heart of Cancun’s Hotel Zone.
The 502 room, 12-story resort was built in 2006. It underwent a major update in 2017 and is now being managed by Playa Resorts, which has many changes, rebranding and renovation plans on the horizon. As these changes occur in phases, one thing is for certain, both the big kids and littles alike will continue to find Seadust the ideal place to connect and make family memories.
Spacious Accommodations
Seadust Cancun Family Resort is an all-suites venue offering spacious 592-square foot standard rooms with one king bed or two doubles, a private balcony and resort view.
Families with children will appreciate the roominess and comfort of the family suite featuring a king or double in the main room and a separate area with bunk beds. They include a bunk along with a single pullout for a third child. The room also sports a balcony with partial sea views.
Sunset lovers will relish the 645-square foot king or double sunset suite with a spacious terrace and views of the picturesque Nichupté Lagoon and the surrounding lush Mayan jungle. The patio includes a table for two, lounge chairs and a bubbling jacuzzi.
Other suites offer oceanfront views with an outdoor hot tub while the premium suite includes an inside jacuzzi. Those looking for even more space can opt for a Gran Master Sunset View King suite.
The size of the marble-accented bathrooms was the biggest surprise – very roomy with walk-in rain showers and every possible needed amenity.
In addition, suites contain a full mini-bar, all part of the all-inclusive fee.
Resort Experiences
Unlimited fun is the name of the game at Seadust. The showpiece is the ocean-facing pool fronting a wide white sand beach and turquoise waters of the Caribbean. The resort features three infinity pools, a Club Caribe pool exclusively for adults and a children’s pool. Two large hot tubs can also be found on the tropical grounds. The palm-lined beach area is well-maintained and includes plenty of loungers, umbrellas and palapas for those who prefer either the sun or the shade.
Beach activities include volleyball, soccer and, of course a favorite, those long relaxing beach walks. Multipurpose courts on the grounds offer tennis and basketball, and families love the mini-golf course, zip lines and climbing wall.
“Treasure Island” Water Park brings out the swashbuckler in us all with its pirate ship, water slides, water games and more. And adults seem to enjoy it just as much as the kids.
The playroom is a popular gathering place for teenagers with pool tables, ping pong, darts, board games and X-box. At dusk, the fun continues with music, lights and other teen activities. There’s also a kids’ club and baby club for the littles if the parents want some spa treatment time or a lunch date.
And who can pass up a stage performance? Nightly theater shows and productions are family-focused.
Lots of Dining Options
It’s quite a treat when a resort offers a total of 10 diverse restaurants and 10 bars. That’s a lot of dining options, and that doesn’t even include room service. Then there are private group and individual brunch and dinner experiences offered as well.
Guests will find everything from Japanese, Italian, Mexican, Mediterranean, Seafood, and a Steakhouse in their main dining venues. There is a deli, poolside snack bars, sports bar, food gallery, creperie and gelato station to satisfy those wanting lighter fare. Adults have plenty of bars to enjoy their favorite libations.
All part of the all-inclusive, family members get the opportunity to try a myriad of different food types and preparations.
A new millennial innovative chef is bringing updated menus and new techniques to the restaurants. Since one of the pillars of the resort is a huge focus on quality food and beverage offerings, having someone with fresh ideas bringing great inventive changes can only make the vacation experience even better. It certainly was a treat to taste some of Chef Jesus Fartan’s creations.
Future Plans on the Horizon
According to general manager Sylvestre Vasquez “we are very excited about all the improvement plans we have in place and those coming soon to the resort.”
One of the suites has been completely renovated with a fresh, new look that pays homage to the resort’s magnificent surroundings. Colors of beige and blue capture the essence of the sun, sand and sea setting with some added tropical touches. We loved the native woods, organic textures, and more polished clean feel of the new-planned suites.
All suites will be updated accordingly within the year, along with a full lobby makeover.
Future foodie experiences will include a chef/kitchen dinner option, tequila and mezcal tastings, and a dinner with Mayan chefs, and more.
Per Vasquez “we want to continue to offer the ultimate in family-friendly experiences making sure that we take care of the needs of each family member from babies to the adults.”
Cancun and Riviera Maya Excursions
Concierge and excursion specialists at the resort know the activities that best fit family needs and desires, offering wonderful family-appropriate experiences in this fascinating jungle-y Yucatan destination.
One such adventure is visiting the Riviera Maya’s renowned cenotes, a very unique and unforgettable encounter.
Cenotes are geologically rare freshwater sinkholes located all throughout the Yucatan. These vary in size from small to massive and open-air to underground caves.
Thanks to our guides, our group of travelers were able to see four in one day. Zapote Cenote offers four of these family-owned cenotes fairly close in location less than an hour’s drive from the resort. Two of the cenotes were open-air and two were located underground. But each was unique, varying in depth and color, one offering a zip line and jumping platform, and we were able to swim in all four of these magnificent works of Mother Nature.
It’s no wonder when guests check into the lobby upon arrival to Seadust, the place is alive with vibrant laughter and excitement. After all, it’s vacation time, and families know they’ve come to the right place to make memories in paradise.
