This has definitely been a long time coming…Kimpton Tres Rios Riviera Maya is now taking reservations for stays starting Sept. 22, 2026.  It was originally slated to open early 2025, then the opening date got pushed to Aug. 2025, then Jan. 2026, now it recently got pushed to this Sept. date.  Will it really open?  Who’s to say, the only difference is that reservations are now possible so it’s probably a good bet they will open on that date.

Those who are familiar with luxury brand hotels across the globe will recognize the name Park Hyatt.  They have decided to join the luxury all-inclusive market with their brand new resort that will be opening Feb. 2027–the Park Hyatt Riviera Maya.  The property is located north of Puerto Morelos near the Royalton and Dreams Natura resorts.  Not the best beach area, however.

For those of you familiar with the Excellence Collection resort brand, you may already be aware of the new luxury family-friendly property, Finest Riviera Cancun, set to open Feb. 11, 2027.  It’s located south of Puerto Morelos next to Dreams Jade–not a stellar stretch of beach but close to El Cid’s Marina for those of you who enjoy easy access to sports fishing opportunities and other water-related excursions. I stayed at Finest Playa Mujeres when it first opened (click here to see my resort review) and quickly discovered just how easily the Excellence brand sits towards the top of all-inclusive resorts based on the quality of their amenities as well as how their Finest resorts offers adults-only sections that truly feel like an adults-only resort stay.

The Coba section at Bahia Principe Riviera Maya Resort is a family and budget-friendly part of this Bahia Principe megaresort.  It is located inland so if you want to get to the beach you have to take a shuttle or be prepared to walk quite a bit to get to your location.  In Dec. 2025, the resort opened its new adults-only section called Bahia Principe Grand Tequila which has 360 rooms, two pools, four restaurants (two are dinner a la cartes), and four bars onsite.  Guests of the new Tequila section have access to all common areas, bars, and restaurants at the regular Coba section, and access to the a la carte restaurants at the Grand Tulum section of this megaresort (no access to their buffet, however).
