I’m surprised it has taken so long for regular vacationer videos to come out about Mondrian Cancun which used to be a Hyatt Vivid property. The video I’ve linked below isn’t even a vacationer video, it’s a video done by a travel agent (Spoiled Agent) having a discussion with a property rep about what this renamed resort now has to offer.
This has certainly been a long time coming…Kimpton Tres Rios Riviera Maya has opened reservations starting Sept 22, 2026 in the resort brand’s first venture into the all-inclusive market.
Hyatt has decided to turn Dreams Vista Cancun into Hyatt Vivid Cancun. Probably the biggest change in this turnover which occurred Aug. 14, 2026 is that the resort is now adults-only; Dreams resorts are all about family experiences while Hyatt Vivid properties are more about casual adults-only vacation vibes in more luxury resort settings.
It’s just a few days away from when Hyatt Vivid Grand Island will be changing over to Mondrian Cancun. There’s not a lot known about how things will change, but I found a video done by Christine Turner, a Canadian travel agent, who has posted what she does know and what remains unknown yet at this time.
There has been plenty of action recently regarding news and information about all-inclusive resorts in the Cancun and Riviera Maya areas. Here’s a short list of what I know: Continue reading
Just some FYI’s in the world of all-inclusive resorts in the Cancun/Riviera Maya part of Mexico…
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.
If you read my prior post about Hyatt Vivid Grand Island not being a Hyatt property anymore after Aug. 19, you may want to know who is taking their place as management for the owners of the property.
If you’re looking to earn or redeem World of Hyatt loyalty points, here’s another resort brand which will enable you to do just that.
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.
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.
