I’ve been eagerly awaiting a video like this–the first one showing the renovations done at Dreams Sands Cancun. This resort was totally closed for several months in the latter part of 2022 and just reopened a couple of weeks ago.
The newly rebranded and renovated Hyatt Zilara Riviera Maya (what used to be Secrets Capri) recently opened; here’s another live streaming event which was hosted by Christine Turner, a travel agent out of western Canada. It shows both indoor and outdoor spaces with Christine providing commentary about resort amenities and services.
For those of you who don’t know (myself included), Dreams Sands Cancun has been closed since Aug. 2022 and just reopened with the following renovations: Continue reading
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.
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.
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.
