Christine Turner, a travel agent based out of Canada, just hosted a livestream from the brand new adults-only Hyatt Zilara Riviera Maya yesterday (remember Secrets Capri? This is the same property but fully renovated with some new additions). Yes, the resort is already open as of Dec. 1, 2022 and has some amazing looking additions and renovations. Like oceanfront plunge pools? You can book it here. Like the ability to not fully upgrade but want butler service? You can do that here as well with a daily additional fee for just butler service.

My Version of the “Best Of”…

Looks like the rebranded, fully renovated Hyatt Zilara Riviera Maya is going to be open for business Dec. 1, 2022. (This resort used to be Secrets Capri). I found this video which was livestreamed recently by a Playa rep; it gives you lots of detail about the resort.

Hyatt Zilara Riviera Maya Pool Area (Formerly Secrets Capri)
If you are following the upcoming opening of the fully renovated Hyatt Zilara Riviera Maya, formerly known as Secrets Capri, here is a video about just the main pool area. If you remember what the pool was like when it was a Secrets resort, the main complaint was one of slipping when entering the pool. Hopefully that has been resolved; it looks like the pool was completely redone so I am guessing it’s a thumbs up for pool entry this time around.
Interested in the New Wyndham Grand Cancun (Formerly the Omni)?
For those interested in what cosmetic changes have been made to the Omni (now known as the Wyndham Grand Cancun), here’s a video which does a good job of summarizing the resort’s amenities and features. I wish the videographer would have showcased one of the villa suites since I think it’s always been one of this resort’s best draws. Glad to see Wyndham still kept the sushi station and the beachfront swim-up bar area!
Belated Video Of Haven Riviera Cancun’s Serenity Club Oceanfront Swim-Out Terrace
While I tend to post vacation info well after the fact, even this is late for me. I stayed at Haven Riviera Cancun in April 2022 in the upgraded Serenity Club Jr. Suite Swim-Out Oceanfront. I have already posted the pics of this room category, but here’s a short video of what the terrace and terrace views look like in more detail. I stayed in room 1008 in building 1; upgraded oceanfront swim-outs can only be found in the original resort section. The new section does not offer this room category.
