Wanna See the Water Park Areas at Hyatt Ziva Riviera Cancun?
When Hyatt took over Secrets Silversands, they not only renovated the resort but they also added a water park. The water park is comprised of two sections–one for little ones with smaller waterslides, and the other section with lengthier waterslides for both kids and adults. The water park is located on the south side of the resort.
Want to Know More About Xavage Park?
Xavage Park was one of the Riviera Maya’s last parks to open in 2021 (it opened in 2019, but COVID shut all parks/ruins for awhile due to COVID). If you haven’t gone yet (like myself), it’s supposed to be an adventure park with various rides and experiences for vacation fun and getting exercise while having fun. If the word “exercise” hasn’t yet put you off, read on…
Xibalba Nature Reserve to Open 2022
The latest Xcaret attraction, Xibalba Nature Reserve, was originally scheduled to open Dec. 2020 but got delayed due to COVID. Its latest opening date is supposed to be sometime in June 2022 with a capacity reported to be 2,000 visitors. Xibalba is located by the city of Valladolid in the central part of the Yucatan Peninsula fairly close to the Chichen Itza ruins. In fact, many Chichen Itza tours include a stop at Valladolid either before or after visiting the ruins. Count on tours or private drives to take a couple of hours from Playa del Carmen to reach this destination.
Here’s a Newer Video of the Brand New Breathless Cancun Soul
I’m back from my impromptu cruise vacation visiting Costa Rica and the Panama Canal–I’ve never been to those locations before and needed a break so why not? The cruise was just what I needed–use the at home Abbott tests, they are easy to administer and you get COVID results in 15 minutes (most cruise lines these days require a negative COVID test up to 2 days prior to sailing). I had an extra test so I used it when I got home and the results were negative–no bringing home COVID from my cruise.
Drone Shots of Hotel Xcaret Arte and Casa de la Playa
Interested in the newest Grupo Xcaret properties? Hotel Xcaret Arte has already opened, and on-time, while the neighboring property, Casa de la Playa, is still slated to open Dec. 2021. The drone video below shows a bit of the shoreline for both properties; looks like there is limited space to enter the water at Arte–at least the water color is beautiful now that the sargassum issue has abated for the season.

Drone Video of Grand Palladium Riviera Maya
I actually wanted to find a video of how the new resorts are doing which are planning on opening within the next month, but as is typical of this area and new resort info there is not much out there–it’s like resort companies believe they are selling state secrets by giving away some teaser info.
