I find the actual “travel” part of a vacation to be the most stressful of the entire ordeal. I’m assuming I’m not alone in this respect…while I spend months eagerly anticipating my destination I detest airports, everything about airports is abhorrent to me. I’m not afraid to fly or to travel, but I even think about an airport and I’m in need of an extra spray of Arrid Extra Dry.
I just ran across a Travel Weekly article that stated the fully renovated Paraiso de la Bonita will now be opening sometime in March 2025 (formerly known as Zoëtry Paraiso de la Bonita which was privately owned). Marriott International has taken over ownership while I believe that Playa Hotels and Resorts will maintain management of the property.
If you are interested in learning about the brand new upgraded Indigo Club at Dreams Sapphire, then get ready to watch a lengthy video which will tell you pretty much everything you needed to know about this resort as well as the new upgrade within an upgrade (the Indigo Club is an upgrade within the Preferred Club room category at this Dreams resort).
Well, at least it’s something…Marriott has several very nice pics posted of what some rooms and restaurants will look like when the renovations are all completed. Marriott’s website also states that this resort is projected to reopen January 2025, but no specific date yet has been mentioned. I haven’t even read anywhere they are accepting any bookings. I attempted a couple of dummy bookings online for various dates in Jan and Feb 2025, but I kept getting “Your selected hotel has no available rooms”. So I’m thinking that it may be longer than Jan. 2025 before the resort is reopened.
Just read in TripAdvisor that check-in staff is offering new guests an upgrade to the new Indigo section at Dreams Sapphire for $150 USD extra p/night…I’m assuming that means it’s now open for business. Don’t forget with the Indigo upgrade you get access to the adults-only rooftop pool area, access to Indigo room section, but I don’t think the new Seaside restaurant is open yet, the website says “coming soon”. Besides having a few short videos on the resort’s FB page and their Instagram page, there’s not much out yet on social media about guests’ experience in this new section. Let us all know about your Indigo experience if you stay at this resort! Thanks!
My last post was about the Coral KidZ Club at the Grand Fiesta Americana Coral Beach Cancun. But there is so much more to enjoy and appreciate at this resort…Keep reading and find out why you should stay here for your next vacation.
Update: While Dreams Sapphire recently posted a promo video of their Indigo section amenities and labelled it as their “Grand Opening”, I’m still not convinced it’s open to the general public. I’m still waiting for Instagram pics or YouTube videos to come out…If anyone knows differently let me know.
FYI: As of 11/16/24, Marriott has listed the projected opening timeline to be Jan. 2025; however, I was unable to make a booking in either Jan. or Feb. 2025, so it may be after Jan. 2025 before the resort reopens.
The fully renovated 450 guest room Marriott Cancun recently reopened March 2024 after being closed for a year. This resort used to be called CasaMagna and had a European meal plan with an all-inclusive optional available; the resort is now totally all-inclusive. Everything was redone, plus there were some amenities added including a children’s water park.
