What Is Iberostar’s “Wave Of Change”?
Since I will be staying at an Iberostar mega-resort this summer, I’ve been doing my initial research of this property and came across some newer information about Iberostar resort policies and procedures which may be important to other vacationers as well.
Riu Cancun Changes To Adults-Only
Someone brought this to my attention so I thought I would bring it to yours just in case you don’t know…Riu Cancun has changed from a family-friendly resort to an adults-only property; that change occurred Dec. 24, 2024. That means there are two adults-only Riu’s right next to one another in Cancun’s Hotel Zone, and three total in the Hotel Zone’s entirety–Riu Cancun, Riu Palace Las Americas, and Riu Palace Kukulkan.

Marriott’s Zoetry Paraiso de la Bonita Has New Projected Opening Month…
Well, at least it’s something…Marriott has several very nice pics posted of what some rooms and restaurants will look like when the renovations are all completed. Marriott’s website also states that this resort is projected to reopen January 2025, but no specific date yet has been mentioned. I haven’t even read anywhere they are accepting any bookings. I attempted a couple of dummy bookings online for various dates in Jan and Feb 2025, but I kept getting “Your selected hotel has no available rooms”. So I’m thinking that it may be longer than Jan. 2025 before the resort is reopened.
SLS Opens After All…
I guess SLS Playa Mujeres owners found something in the fine print to overturn the Mexican government’s denial of entry to the resort due to safety risks–some issue with the entrances and exits…They officially opened and let in their first guests yesterday.
