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.
New Video of Hyatt Ziva Riviera Cancun (formerly Secrets Silversand)
Thanks to Christine Turner, there is a brand new video out on the newly opened and renovated Hyatt Ziva Riviera Cancun which was formerly known as Secrets Silversand.
Live Aqua Boutique Resort in PDC Rebranded…
Playa Hotels and Resorts has bought Grupo Posadas’ boutique resort, Live Aqua Boutique Resort Playa del Carmen. It is now called The Yucatan Resort Playa del Carmen. It is now under the Hilton brand–points can be accrued and used here. It looks a bit different in terms of decor, but the rooftop area makes in difficult to mistake it as anything else.
Secrets Silversands to Become…….
Finally got official word that Secrets Silversands will open as Hyatt Ziva Riviera Cancun sometime in 2021. There is no specific date set yet, however. I double checked the old SS address with the new Hyatt address and they are both the same, so there’s no doubt this is the replacement.
Another New Secrets Addition…
Repeat guests to Breathless Riviera Cancun will notice that some parts of the resort are no longer available to them…what used to be the more quiet Xhale section on the south end of Breathless has now become the new Secrets Riviera Cancun with 164 suites, one private restaurant, Rosewater, which serves “Gourmet International Cuisine”, and a private pool and beach section. Secrets guests have unrestricted use of the entire property, while Breathless guests cannot cross over to the Secrets section. There are now two separate check-in areas given the new property setup. I do appreciate the fact that one can now directly book all oceanfront swim-up suites throughout this resort; before the Secrets addition it was not clear how to do so in certain resort sections.
Info On AMResorts….
Just a few tidbits about several AMResorts:
- The new Dreams Vista resort will remained closed until Nov. 11 due to damage from hurricane Delta.
- Now Emerald Cancun will reopen Oct. 29.
- All other Cancun/Riviera Maya AMResorts are now open–this also includes Zoetry Paraiso de la Bonita which wasn’t supposed to reopen until Nov.
Royalton Resort To Become Adults-Only
For those of you familiar with the newest Royalton resort, Royalton Suites Cancun which is located in the Hotel Zone, please be aware that this resort will be changing to adults-only when it reopens on Oct. 29, 2020. Its new name will be Royalton CHIC Suites Cancun Resort and Spa.
New Video of Dreams Natura With Completed Amenities
The last time I posted a video of Dreams Natura, I believe it still was listed under its previous name, Now Natura, with several of its major amenities not completed. Now that it is reopened, there are new videos coming out showing the resort in its entirely with new amenities completed (water slides, lazy river, and rollglider).
