After closing for a year, this popular adults-only resort located in Cancun’s Hotel Zone has just reopened. Hyatt Zilara Cancun has gone through an incredible transformation changing both interior and exterior spaces to upgrade vacationers’ experience.
For those Hyatt Zilara Cancun lovers out there, your wait is over. After an entire year of being closed for renovations, this premier and much beloved all-inclusive resort in Cancun’s Hotel Zone is now open once again for business.
If you haven’t watched Unlimited Vacation Club videos about Hyatt resorts then perhaps you aren’t into extended videos with an emphasis on the benefits of being a member of this particular chain of properties. If you have watched any of them you know they do a mixture of Spanish and English, it can be a great way to test your Spanish skills because the English portions basically repeat what they’ve just said in Spanish or add additional information about the same subject which they have been describing.
After being closed since June 1, 2025, Paradisus Cancun reopened their doors to guests April 1, 2026.
There was a livestream a couple of days ago about the renovations being done to Paradisus Cancun which is located in Cancun’s Hotel Zone on an eastern-facing beach. Reportedly, Melia has spent around $15 million on the project and is planning on reopening the resort in 2 weeks.
If you are familiar with Secrets Playa Mujeres, you already know that they recently reopened after a $40 million renovation project…part of that renovation was constructing an entirely new building just for upgraded Preferred Club guests and it looks amazing.
The Coba section at Bahia Principe Riviera Maya Resort is a family and budget-friendly part of this Bahia Principe megaresort. It is located inland so if you want to get to the beach you have to take a shuttle or be prepared to walk quite a bit to get to your location. In Dec. 2025, the resort opened its new adults-only section called Bahia Principe Grand Tequila which has 360 rooms, two pools, four restaurants (two are dinner a la cartes), and four bars onsite. Guests of the new Tequila section have access to all common areas, bars, and restaurants at the regular Coba section, and access to the a la carte restaurants at the Grand Tulum section of this megaresort (no access to their buffet, however).
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.
Paradisus Cancun has been closed since June 2025 to completely renovate pretty much the entire property. If you are interested in how things might look after the renovation, their website’s home page has multiple pics of what rooms and amenities will look like–some are obviously computer generated, but the room pics appear to be what they will look like now. Post reno opening date is April 1, 2026.
Hyatt Zilara Cancun has been closed for a complete renovation since April 2025. It was supposed to open April 2026 but that date has been altered somewhat.
