The previous Omni Cancun has now switched over to Wyndham Grand Cancun and Villas. There was no major disruption in the change, so there should be no surprises. It is a family-friendly all-inclusive resort with the following amenities: Continue reading
It’s looking pretty good for the new adults-only Hyatt Zilara Riviera Maya to open sometime in December 2022. If you have been following the news about this resort, this one used to be Secrets Capri, a long-time favorite of Secrets fans and couples who wanted to celebrate special occasions.
As of Nov. 1, 2022, the Omni Cancun will be called the Wyndham Grand Cancun. The resort will reportedly change some things cosmetically, but the amenities will basically remain the same with 364 guest rooms and villas, seven restaurants, five bars, four pools, spa, gym, tennis courts, and kid’s club. I hope they are not going to change the beach pool and bar with the swing seats, I’ve always thought this was Omni’s best amenity. In case you don’t know, this resort is located in the southern section of Cancun’s Hotel Zone so that means a quick trip to and from the Cancun airport.
It’s the first time I’ve seen a definitive opening date for Armar House Cancun (formerly Melody Maker/formerly ME Cancun by Melia). Hotels.com has the opening date listed as Sept. 22, 2022; even the website says “opening soon”, so make your own decision about whether to book if you are interested in this resort.
The fully renovated Royal Uno, which used to be the Royal Caribbean, is supposed to open tomorrow on June 28, 2022. If I’m not mistaken I believe the resort is near the Omni Cancun and the Cancun museum in the southern part of the Hotel Zone.
I keep seeing on my blog stats that readers still want to know what’s going on with the ex-ME Cancun/ex-Melody Maker resort in Cancun’s Hotel Zone…the answer is that I do not know what’s going on with the much anticipated opening of this resort as the Armar House which is now owned by Marriott.
I often forget this Hotel Zone all-inclusive even exists. Atelier bought it around 2016 and completely renovated it to reopen in 2017–perhaps you remember this property by its various prior names of Hotetur, BelleVue Beach Paradise, or Hotel Yalmakan?
Looks like a date has been announced for the ex-Secrets Capri resort–it’s now called Hyatt Zilara Riviera Maya and it’s scheduled to open Dec. 1, 2022. You can book the adults-only fully renovated resort and get rates for as low as $149 p/person p/night if you book by June 30, 2022 for travel starting Dec. 1, 2022.

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.
