It’s a “5 O’Clock Somewhere” State of Mind at Margaritaville Island Reserve
Margaritaville Island Reserve Riviera Cancun is Karisma’s first partnership with the Jimmy Buffett hotel brand–I believe it is the very first Jimmy Buffett all-inclusive resort anywhere. This resort used to be known as Azul Beach Resort (Azul is Karisma’s family-friendly resort brand name); the resort reopened after a huge renovation but unfortunately it reopened right before the pandemic hit. It has been a slow start for them, but it looks like they are finally settling into their resort “groove”.
New Video of Oceanfront Suite at Hyatt Ziva Riviera Cancun
Interested in the renovation of what used to be known as Secrets Silversand? Here’s a new video by Christine Turner of an Oceanfront Suite (looks like a Jr. Suite) at the rebranded Hyatt Ziva Riviera Cancun.
Another New Hilton Resort To Open…
Found another new all-inclusive resort set to open by the end of the year (the resort is taking reservations starting from Nov. 7, 2021). It is called Hilton Cancun and from the look of things on the Google map, it will be located by the Haven resort and north of Royalton Riviera Cancun. Please correct me if I am wrong here, we all want to know more about this resort!
New Breathless Resort To Open
Vacationers looking for another great AMR Collection resort to open should check out the brand new Breathless Cancun Soul–an adults-only hotel just west of Riu Palace Peninsula on the upper part of the “7” in the Hotel Zone. It is scheduled to open Dec. 7, 2021.
New Xcaret Resort Opening Date…
Surprisingly, right on the heels of the recent opening of Hotel Xcaret Arte, the opening date of the newest luxury Xcaret hotel has been announced. La Casa de la Playa, a boutique adults-only resort situated right next to Hotel Xcaret Arte, is now supposed to be open this December–that’s a YEAR ahead of schedule. Wow, what a change from most other new resorts!
Wanna See Some Highlights of the New Nickelodeon Resort?
Take a quick look at a video highlighting several areas of the new Nickelodeon resort including the Lair Suite–the suite looks very nice with lots of room and a large swim-up pool.
Have A Look at the New Nickelodeon Resort
This Nickelodeon resort just opened Aug. 1, 2021; it is located next to Generations Riviera Maya north of Playa del Carmen. While there still isn’t much out there as far as videos of the resort, I did find this one which highlights the water park and what appears to be a Swim-Up Oceanfront King Suite.
New Nickelodeon Resort Finally Open
Well, I’ve seen the videos so I have no choice but to believe it. The brand new Nickelodeon Riviera Maya resort by Karisma is finally open August 1, 2021 after many years of postponements. It offers a 6-acre water park with 20 water slides, rooms for families of five, access to 20 Nickelodeon characters, six restaurants, three bars, and an oceanfront infinity pool.
New Video of Hotel Xcaret Arte…
The soft opening is definitely happening!! There’s a new video of Hotel Xcaret Arte which shows several resort areas including the beach–as in any new resort opening, construction is being completed (I see from the video that some construction is going on in one of the guest room buildings). Looks a LOT like Hotel Xcaret Mexico including the main pool, views from the lobby area to the main pool and beach, river as part of the resort grounds, architecture, design, etc. Opening date for this resort was July 1.
