All the properties from films and TV shows that you can actually stay the night in – including the hotel from Love Is Blind season 2
As the second season of Netflix's reality dating show Love Is Blind Season 2 is set to premiere on the streaming service from the 11th of February, there's good news for fans of the show: the gorgeous resort the newly engaged couples head to is one of the properties from films and TV shows that you can stay the night in.
A must-visit location is one of the many things that can get us hooked on a new TV show or film. Sure, a riveting plot, all-star cast, and characters we wish we could be BFFs with are the main draw. But what Sex and the City fan hasn’t dreamed of going to New York and visiting Carrie’s apartment? Hasn't every Sex Education obsessive added Symonds Yat to their ever-growing list of weekend break destinations? And just imagine if we could go back in time to the 1800s and live our best Bridgerton lives.
While many film and TV locations are fictional sets constructed in studios, some of your favourite characters’ homes are actually real life houses you can visit in person. And even better, some are available to rent on Airbnb for your next holiday.
If it's some winter sun you're after, follow the lead of Love Is Blind and head to Mexico's coastal resort of Cancun. Whether you're hoping to find love yourself, or you and your partner want to have your own romantic getaway, the TRS Coral Hotel in Costa Mujeres, Cancun is just the place. While there are no dating pods in site (those are located on a film set in Atlanta) there are plenty of other amenities to keep you entertained, including pools, beaches and the resort spa. Plus, the hotel is also offering guests up to 20% off their stay when they use the promo code LOVE at the time of booking.
So, if you want to imagine for a few nights what it’s like to live inside your favourite films or series and get a little bit closer to those characters, all you have to do is book one of the properties from films and TV shows you can stay in. Get ready to dive through your TV screen and disappear into a different world (kind of).

Love Is Blind - Season 2
TRS Coral Hotel, Costa Mujeres, Cancun, Mexico

Sound daunting? They are then swiftly whisked away to a gorgeous Mexican resort where they can continue to get to know each other, this time with actual physical interaction. Still daunting, but in a setting as beautiful as the TRS Coral Hotel we could be persuaded.
