Follow Alea Simone's Vacay

Alea ditched reality for the ultimate adults-only playground at Valentin Imperial Riviera Maya. Tucked along the sands of Playa del Secreto, this elegant Mexican hacienda-style oasis serves up next-level vibes with three sparkling pools and zero timeshare pressure. Just 25 minutes from the airport, it’s all chill, all charm—and 100% for hotel guests only.

AAlea’s home for the week? The Golden Junior Suite—a dreamy combo of comfort, style and tropical flair. Just steps from the pool and stocked with daily-refreshed mini bars, 24-hour room service and MORE perks, it’s the kind of suite you’ll never want to leave—and totally worth the upgrade.

Alea came hungry—and good thing, because this place is a foodie’s paradise with seven à la carte restaurants and 11 bars that keep the vacay vibes flowing. From poolside food trucks to a churro cart that hits every sweet spot, there’s no shortage of delicious detours. And that lobster you see in the pic? The phone ate first, but Alea savored every buttery bite.
