Christine Turner, a travel agent based out of Canada, just hosted a livestream from the brand new adults-only Hyatt Zilara Riviera Maya yesterday (remember Secrets Capri?  This is the same property but fully renovated with some new additions).  Yes, the resort is already open as of Dec. 1, 2022 and has some amazing looking additions and renovations.  Like oceanfront plunge pools?  You can book it here.  Like the ability to not fully upgrade but want butler service?  You can do that here as well with a daily additional fee for just butler service.

Looks like the rebranded, fully renovated Hyatt Zilara Riviera Maya is going to be open for business Dec. 1, 2022.  (This resort used to be Secrets Capri).  I found this video which was livestreamed recently by a Playa rep; it gives you lots of detail about the resort.

Hyatt Zilara Riviera Maya Pool Area (Formerly Secrets Capri)

If you are following the upcoming opening of the fully renovated Hyatt Zilara Riviera Maya, formerly known as Secrets Capri, here is a video about just the main pool area.  If you remember what the pool was like when it was a Secrets resort, the main complaint was one of slipping when entering the pool.  Hopefully that has been resolved; it looks like the pool was completely redone so I am guessing it’s a thumbs up for pool entry this time around.

For those interested in what cosmetic changes have been made to the Omni (now known as the Wyndham Grand Cancun), here’s a video which does a good job of summarizing the resort’s amenities and features.  I wish the videographer would have showcased one of the villa suites since I think it’s always been one of this resort’s best draws.  Glad to see Wyndham still kept the sushi station and the beachfront swim-up bar area!

Travel agents can be remarkably resourceful…a prime example would be agents/owners from Lone Star Travel who were allowed to be on-site at the new Hyatt Zilara Riviera Maya (formerly known as Secrets Capri).  It is still adults-only but has undergone a complete remodel with some new additions as well–think oceanfront swim-outs, for example. Lone Star Travel reps took videos from several areas of the resort including a guest room category, King Jr. Suite Tropical View.

Omni Cancun Rebranded

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.
