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.

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.

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.

Silent Discos at Resorts…

Silent discos are not exactly a brand new “thing”, they actually started being introduced at get togethers, parties, and wedding receptions in the US around 2019.  Silent discos have gradually made their way to Mexico and other Caribbean resorts and, while they appear periodically at various properties in these areas, they don’t seem to stay around with any regularity (in general) nor have they been introduced at a lot of resorts, at least in eastern Mexico.

Best Water Park in Cancun…

All of these constant oven-like temperatures at my home in southern CA have me thinking of water parks; more specifically, water parks in Cancun and the Riviera Maya since I view that area as my second home, lol.  (One of my friends recently asked me why I don’t just buy a condo there…of course, a condo doesn’t cook for me, pour me a drink, clean up automatically after me, or make my bed so I much prefer staying at an all-inclusive resort…)   While there may  be more upscale water parks in the area (think Jungala at Vidanta resort in the Riviera Maya), there is one very large amusement park south of the Hotel Zone in Cancun called Ventura Park which offers much more than pools and waterslides.

Preference Between Hyatt Ziva Cancun and Grand Fiesta Americana Coral Beach?

I found this YouTube video by Palm Leaf Travel to be interesting and informative in comparing two popular Hotel Zone all-inclusive properties which are family-friendly–Hyatt Ziva Cancun and Grand Fiesta Americana Coral Beach Cancun.  Both are located at the northeast corner of the “7” (Cancun’s Hotel Zone is literally shaped like the number 7) at Punta Cancun.
