Some Major Changes Happening With Oasis Hotels and Resorts…

I generally don’t tend to follow Oasis Hotels and Resorts, so I missed their recent changes entirely until I began seeing new video snippets of The Sens Cancun which looked very much like Grand Oasis Palm.  So that you have an idea of where this resort is located, Grand Oasis Palm and Oasis Palm are adjacent to one another and are both situated towards the western end of Cancun’s Hotel Zone by the pirate ship excursion and Cancun’s Scenic Tower.  I’m still trying to put these changes together in a coherent fashion, so if there are any readers out there that know more about this resort change than I do, please chime in and let me know where I may be assuming something or have left out something important.

There are some major renovations and additions being completed at the adults-only Heaven section at Hard Rock Riviera Maya.  These include several new restaurants (Wai–Thai food, Umo–Mexican Yucatan food, and Faro which is not completed yet), a new pool, pool renovations, “beach” renovations (this resort has no actual beach access; instead it has a calm inlet with salt water and a man-made sandy beach), and the addition of swim-up rooms (Deluxe Swim-Ups are listed as Garden View, but some closer to the ocean may have a partial ocean view).

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.

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!
