Our Stay at Seadust Cancun Family Resort
Today, on Redhead Mom, we’re sharing about our stay at a beautiful,
family friendly resort in partnership with Seadust Cancun Family Resort.
One of my favorite getaway destinations is Cancun, Mexico. I’ve been there a total of three times and each time is different. This time, my husband and I stayed at Seadust Cancun Family Resort and loved it! In fact, I would love to go there someday again. The hotel was super comfortable, the staff was friendly, and the food was delicious! For an unforgettable romantic getaway, newlyweds can take advantage of this honeymoon package vietnam.
Frank and I drove down to LAX and took a non-stop flight from Los Angeles to Cancun, Mexico via Southwest Airlines. I love flying Southwest. The staff is friendly, the planes are nice, and you get snacks! Yes – you read that right. You can even have one of each of the different kinds of snacks (i.e. OREO cookies, pretzels, and RITZ cheese and crackers). There have been times where we’ve paid the Early Bird ticket price, but this time we didn’t. We checked in almost exactly 24 hours prior to boarding and still made it into the A section callouts for boarding the plane. A handy tip is to make sure that whenever you’re traveling, you have the best carry-on luggage you can get, so there is no unnecessary luggage replacements while you’re traveling.
On the flight, you have the option to purchase wi-fi to use on your laptop or other electronic device and the price is pretty low. However, what you should know is that the price is low because once you are out of US territory, the internet pretty much goes away. Before leaving on your flight, be sure to download the Southwest app. You can get free movies and television shows throughout your flight, but you must watch them from your device. Unfortunately, I didn’t have the App on the way there, so I played some games (that I could play without internet) and slept. It worked out well, but on the way back, I definitely had the app and my phone charged (as well as a back-up charger).
The last time we traveled to Cancun, we hired a private service to pick us up and take us to the hotel because there were issues between the taxi drivers and Uber. We really liked the service because the driver was friendly, the trip was quick and we were provided a beverage during our drive. This time, we did the same thing, but with a different company (the company we used before was higher in price and didn’t include a drink). This time, we went with Cancun Reliable Transfer and were really happy with the service.
It was about a 15 minute ride from the airport to the hotel, but a shuttle rep was waiting for us with a sign with our last name on it and walked us over to the shuttle. On the shuttle was a very friendly driver and a beer for each of us. For a round trip shuttle (that means from the airport to hotel when we arrived and from the hotel to the airport when we left), we paid $55 plus a cash tip. I would definitely use them again.
When we arrived to the Seadust property, a security guard checked in with our driver and then let us drive through. Our driver dropped us off at the entrance and helped us unload our luggage. A hotel staff member was waiting to move our luggage while we checked in. It was time to check in.
When we walked into the hotel entrance, the Christmas tree was still standing and it was pretty. It was the beginning of the year, so I was glad we got to see the holiday decor. The entrance was really pretty and there was even a waterfall wall behind the counters. It was definitely a welcoming entrance!
We headed to check in and were given bracelets we needed to wear throughout our stay. DO NOT LOSE YOUR BRACELET! We didn’t lose ours, but it was definitely something that was constantly on my mind. If you lose your bracelet, you will need to pay a fee to replace it. On the positive note, it can also be used as your room key and gives you admission to different portions of the hotel. For instance, we were in an Ocean View Suite, which also gave us access to the Atlantis Restaurant for daily breakfasts (more on that in another blog post).
After checking in, a bellhop came over and put our luggage on a cart. He asked if we had our keys and room number and walked us up to our room on the ninth floor. He was really sweet and answered all of our questions, as well as gave us some helpful tips. Our stay at Seadust Cancun Family Resort was off to a good start!
Seadust Cancun Family Resort is a newly refurbished property in Cancun, located in the south of the hotel zone. It’s only 15 minutes away from Cancun International Airport, 5 minutes from the destination’s most popular entertainment centers and 20 minutes from downtown. Seadust Cancun Family Resort brings back the true meaning of being together and introduces a new beach resort experience with a great value proposition and an improved all-inclusive offering. Seadust, a family-centered experience.

Thanks to Seadust Cancun Family Resort, we enjoyed our stay in beautiful Cancun in an Ocean Suite with an amazing view of the beach and ocean. While we enjoyed using the Jacuzzi on the balcony, the mini-fridge drinks, In-Room Gourmet Dinner, and breakfast in “Atlantis” Restaurant, we were too late to sign up for the Boat Ride over the Nichupte Lagoon. Maybe next time! The Atlantis Restaurant was amazing and I can honestly say that I looked forward to breakfast there every day we were there! I’m going miss it, but I want to try to make the Eggs Benedict like they make, but at home. I’ll be sharing about this in a separate blog post.
Our room at Seadust Cancun Family Resort was amazing! I was honestly shocked by how spacious it was and how gorgeous the view was! I was even more excited that we had our very own jacuzzi on our balcony and an area where I could do my makeup (separate from the sinks and bathroom)! Plus, we were greeted with a fruit plate and a bottle of champagne.

We had an amazing time at Seadust Cancun Family Resort. Both my husband and I love that all the restaurants were within the resort and easy walking distance, as well as the pools and beaches. There were different activities and things you could do (in addition to relaxing of course). I’ll be sharing a few more blog posts about activities and food we enjoyed there, so stay tuned. More to come!

Seadust looks amazing! I love Cancun. It’s one of my favorite places to take the family.
Cancun is such an amazing place to get away. I love the sun and the water. I’ll definitely be staying at Seadust the next time I’m there.
Yes! We are so staying there the next time we’re in Cancun! I love the vibe there.
Wow what an absolutely amazing resort, your suite looks beautiful and I love that there seems to be so much to do for all ages. Oh you have me dreaming of a nice holiday now.
That’s a nice quick flight from LA. It doesn’t get any better than that beautiful waterfront view.
I can tell you, Cancun sounds perfect this time of year. The services and accommodations you described makes me want to go there soon!
Seadust Cancun Family Resort looks like pure heaven to me! We have been thinking about Mexico for our family vacation this year, and if we do settle on it, we’re definitely booking at Seadust Resort!
That first picture of you in pure perfection! From your hair, to your dress, to the ocean; I love it all!
OH MY GOD did this used to be called Grand Parnassus or Grand Paradisus?? This is the exact layout of a resort we stayed at a few years ago. LOVE Cancun. I recognize the pools and the building and the mini golf and cute waterslides.
We love Cancun too. We have friends who relocated there. It is gorgeous. We love X-el Ha. We’ve discovered Cabo and we love it too!
I love the amenities at Seadust Cancun Family Resort. It seems very well maintained. The staff looks very hospitable too.
The resort looks wonderful, especially with so many pools. The room you had was so spacious indeed and wow, look at that balcony with the most gorgeous view!
This looks like a fantastic resort. I’m visiting Cancun later this year ad haven’t booked my hotel yet, will have to check them out.
Such a wonderful resort. Awesome facilities & indulgence.Lovely pics & so good to feel your happiness.
The post gives me, enough reasons to visit Cancun. Looks an amazing place to plan a trip to.
Sounds like the best place to stay! Look at that view, so beautiful!
omg look at that beautiful water! the resort looks amazing too, take me to Mexico!!
I have heard so much about Cancun and looking at your pictures, it certainly inspired me to visit. Love your beautiful dress and the water and the sky make a great backdrop. Lovely place to get away. I should have paid a visit when I was in California two years ago. Now flying from Asia is kind of far but still there will be next time.
We have been to the Mayan Riviera a bunch of times, but not to Cancun much. It looks like you had an amazing time. It’s nice that it’s so close to the airport too. The hotel looks amazing and the courtyard is impressive! I wasn’t expecting it to have so many stories. What a great vacation for just the two of you 🙂
Such a fun and a great experience you had. This looks like a great place to relax. I want to visit here one day with the whole fam.
Omg! This place is so nice that I wanted to book a room right now! Lol I love the idea if downloding the app so that you have something to watch on your flight. I was speechless in Ocean view suite. The room is just so awesome!
I would love to visit Cancun one day! I have always wanted to travel there. Your photos make me really want to visit now! Looks so gorgeous
i’d like to go to Cancun sometime! hopefully things calm down a bit and we can visit the country of Mexico soon
The hotel looks amazing. It looked like there’s a lot of things you can do when you visit there. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Seadust looks amazing and super cool. The pictures are so gorgeous, looks you had lots of fun.
What a beautiful, beautiful resort! The hotel looks like a dream and the amenities are superb! Love the view from your hotel room. I can’t believe you even got a free cold beverage with the transfer service you chose. Wow! Simply perfect!
I’ve never stayed here before, but we did go to Playa del Carmen and loved every second!
I love Cancun and have been there several times. My family was considering a return visit this summer.
I always thought of cancun as a party place, or a destination for kids on their college break, but now I see how beautiful it can be as a spot for couples as well. Your room alone just looks relaxing and inviting, I know hubby and I would also enjoy!
Looks like your family really did have a great vacation. I cannot wait for my next trip. I want to go to Australia!
Wow Cancun must be a really great place to visit. Love to hear about the amenities of the hotel.
This is a dream come true! I would love to go to Cancun to a hotel like this! in fact, I wanted to go there for our honey Moon, but back in the day, we couldn’t afford it.
This looks amazing, your photos are beautiful. Cancun is on our travel bucket list. I hope to visit sometime soon! Thanks for sharing.
I have not been to Cancun (yet) but it sure looks like a nice vacation destination. The Seadust Cancun resort is a beautiful place to stay!
This is exactly what we need for our 10th anniversary later this year. It’ll be our first vacation without our son and we’re looking for as close to a kid-free experience as possible. The adult only spaces are ideal.
I went to Cancun a few years ago and loved it. I can’t wait to go back with my family and enjoy it!
Wow! Looks like you really had an amazing stay! Would love to spend a weekend here with my family!
Wow, that view is to die for! We are doing our honeymoon this year in Cancun and your photos are getting me super excited. 😀
That’s an awesome resort! I have not been to Cancun but I would definitely want to go there!
It sounds like your entire trip was a pretty smooth one! I would LOVE to go to Cancun as I’ve heard so many good things about it.
What a beautiful resort. You cannot be those view that must of been beautiful to wake up to.
What a fantastic looking resort! There’s so many fun things to do there! I would love to go to Cancun someday.
Beautiful resort. I will keep Seadust in mind if I ever travel to Cancun.
We have never been to Cancun. This would definitely be a place we would stay. What more could you ask for in a resort.
This place looks amazing. Ive always wanted to go to Cancun. Someday!
[…] with both hands. We decided to treat ourselves to a break on the Costa del Sol. Whilst we love a family resort holiday, what could be better than hot summer sun, beautiful landscape, fresh food and a healthy helping of […]
Thank you for your post. Something I’m wondering about and can’t seem to find anywhere (and the ‘live chat’ on their website is ignoring me)… are there restrooms down by the beach and around the pool areas? Some resorts, you have to walk forever while at the pool or beach to find a bathroom. Just wondering what the situation is at Seadust. Thank you!
I believe there were restrooms by the pool and on the beach near where you go back up to the property. Lots of clean bathrooms everywhere.
