Interested in the Food and Drinks at Hyatt Ziva Riviera Cancun?
One of the things I’ve found to be outstanding about the rebranded Hyatt Ziva Riviera Cancun is the number of food and drink options available. There are at least seven restaurants serving a variety of meals (some serve a more buffet style breakfast and lunch while serving a la carte dinners with a specific theme), four various smaller food “shops” serving a small number of specific food options, and some bars which serve both drinks and snacks. There are also “pop-up” food stations as well.

It’s a “5 O’Clock Somewhere” State of Mind at Margaritaville Island Reserve
Margaritaville Island Reserve Riviera Cancun is Karisma’s first partnership with the Jimmy Buffett hotel brand–I believe it is the very first Jimmy Buffett all-inclusive resort anywhere. This resort used to be known as Azul Beach Resort (Azul is Karisma’s family-friendly resort brand name); the resort reopened after a huge renovation but unfortunately it reopened right before the pandemic hit. It has been a slow start for them, but it looks like they are finally settling into their resort “groove”.
Mahekal Beach Resort, A Fairly New Addition to the All-Inclusive Resort Market…
I didn’t follow Mahekal Beach Resort since it originally did not have an all-inclusive option. Much to my surprise I discovered that it now offers an all-inclusive optional meal and beverage plan after reading Travel + Leisure’s listing of “World’s Best” (this resort came in at #5 in the category of top 25 resorts in Mexico). Here’s some info on the resort and what it has to offer: Continue reading

A Beautiful Resort But Too Much Meandering–Resort Review of TRS Yucatan
I vacationed as a solo traveler to TRS Yucatan from July 11-17, 2021. As many of you are aware, TRS Yucatan is the adults-only section of the mega-resort, Grand Palladium Riviera Maya, also consisting of the GP White Sand, GP Colonial, and GP Kantenah resorts in addition to the TRS Yucatan. While I stayed six nights at this beautiful mega-resort complex, it wasn’t nearly enough time to become familiar with all the amenities outside of TRS Yucatan. This resort review will therefore cover TRS Yucatan amenities as well as several major amenities from the other GP resorts as well.
New Video of Dreams Aventuras (Formerly Dreams Puerto Aventuras)
Here’s a new video of the renovations done at Dreams Aventuras, or, as prior guests may know it as Dreams Puerto Aventuras. It’s kind of long, 44 or so minutes, but if you want to know more about the property, the videographer who also happens to be a travel agent has been to this resort multiple times over the years and knows what’s different.
