For those of you who remember when Paraiso de la Bonita used to be a Zoëtry resort, you probably recollect the upgraded section with the huge suites which were added the last several years it still was a Zoëtry property (called the Impression Club section back then)…Well, they are up and running again and waiting for you to enjoy their awesomeness! They are now referred to as The Reserve Section of Paraiso de la Bonita; guests have full access to the entire resort which only includes around 90-100 other suites, so this is a boutique property as a whole. This is the type of resort where individuals and couples stay on vacation in order to relax, enjoy spa treatments, and concentrate on spending time with one another if traveling as a couple.

Want To See What The Newly Open Iberostar Selection Riviera Cancun Looks Like?
Iberostar Selection Riviera Cancun, not to be confused with Iberostar Selection Cancun which is located in Cancun’s Hotel Zone, recently opened its doors after a rather lengthy period of being in limbo after a guest death when it was a Karisma resort. TAFER bought it and put $ in it, but rather quickly sold it to Iberostar who put some more $ in it and opened its door to families and adult vacationers alike in late 2025.
Finally, A Video Out About the Rebranded (Again) Iberostar Selection Riviera Cancun
Just in case you haven’t been following the saga about this resort, Iberostar Selection Riviera Cancun recently opened its doors a couple of weeks ago. This property used to be a Karisma Azul resort, then after a Jacuzzi fatality Karisma sold it to Tafer, then Tafer sold it to Iberostar. Complicated but it looks like Iberostar wants this to be a keeper.
Take A Peak At Some Newer Resorts in Cancun…
There are multiple new/rebranded/totally renovated all-inclusive properties which have just opened or will open within the next several months. It’s hard to keep track of them all, but if you want a quick look at them I have posted a video below which introduces you to the basics of what they have to offer.
Guest Video Review of the New Secrets Mirabel
If you’re interested in the completely renovated, rebranded Secrets Mirabel Cancun (it used to be called Now Emerald), here’s a video done by TomMae TV showing the highlights of this couple’s stay.
Yes, Secrets Mirabel is Now Open…
I made a post a couple of days ago about the TA’s visiting the new Secrets Mirabel Cancun, and yes, it is now open. So anyone with reservations coming up does not have to worry about further postponements….
A Sneak Peek At Secrets Mirabel…
Oh to be a TA…some of them had a 2 hr. tour of the newly renovated and rebranded Secrets Mirabel Cancun. I guess that means that the resort is now accepting guests for their “soft opening”? Not sure about that since the TA’s only stayed for 2 hrs. and not overnight. Plus in the pics and videos I’ve seen there didn’t seem to be any guests, just resort staff tending to the TA’s.
New Opening Date For Secrets Mirabel Cancun…
Surprise, surprise, surprise, (not), Secrets Mirabel Cancun’s opening has been delayed until Nov. 15, 2025. While the resort will (supposedly) be open then, the spa will not be done until Feb./March 2026.
Rebranded Palmar Resort To Officially Open As Iberostar Selection…
This resort has changed names so frequently the last several years that it’s hard to keep up with what it’s currently being called as of today. It started out as an Azul resort by Karisma for many years, changed its name to a lengthy Azul property I couldn’t for the life of me remember, then there was the guest fatality in the outdoor Jacuzzi via electrocution, then it was sold to Tafer as Palmar but that didn’t last long because Iberostar bought the property. Why? I have no idea, the Tafer resort rebranding only lasted several months.
Detailed Info About The New Secrets Mirabel…
An update here concerning the brand new Secrets Mirabel which was scheduled to open Oct. 2025 but now has been postponed until sometime in Nov. 2025 (I swear the new Secrets and Dreams resorts are NEVER open on time). Since there is no set date in Nov. I would be willing to bet that they won’t be open until early Dec. 2025 or even Jan. 2026 if things go really south. The spa won’t be available for use until Feb. 2026.
