Park Hyatt Enters The All-Inclusive Market In Mexico, And What Will Become Of Breathless Cancun Soul??
Just some FYI’s in the world of all-inclusive resorts in the Cancun/Riviera Maya part of Mexico…
Those who are familiar with luxury brand hotels across the globe will recognize the name Park Hyatt. They have decided to join the luxury all-inclusive market with their brand new resort that will be opening Feb. 2027–the Park Hyatt Riviera Maya. The property is located north of Puerto Morelos near the Royalton and Dreams Natura resorts. Not the best beach area, however.
Interested In The New Finest Resort Set To Open Spring 2027?
For those of you familiar with the Excellence Collection resort brand, you may already be aware of the new luxury family-friendly property, Finest Riviera Cancun, set to open Feb. 11, 2027. It’s located south of Puerto Morelos next to Dreams Jade–not a stellar stretch of beach but close to El Cid’s Marina for those of you who enjoy easy access to sports fishing opportunities and other water-related excursions. I stayed at Finest Playa Mujeres when it first opened (click here to see my resort review) and quickly discovered just how easily the Excellence brand sits towards the top of all-inclusive resorts based on the quality of their amenities as well as how their Finest resorts offers adults-only sections that truly feel like an adults-only resort stay.

Wanna Know Where To Have Fun Near Tulum Without Sargassum?
Here’s an interesting video I found on YouTube by The Rope Monster…as most vacationers and wanna be vacationers to the Riviera Maya know, sargassum has hit hard this season already–and it’s not even August/September when the seaweed blight of the Caribbean is at its peak! This video highlights Caleta Tankah, a combo beach club and cenote experience just north of Tulum. It also offers 25 guest rooms for those who want to extend their stay.

Hyatt Vivid Grand Island To Exit Hyatt Management…
Now this is something that wasn’t on many individual’s radar…as of Aug. 19, 2026, Hyatt Vivid Grand Island will no longer be affiliated with Hyatt’s management or brand name. I believe that Grupo Murano is the actual owner of the property and either has had a falling out with Hyatt or thinks they can get a better management deal with another company.
