I just became aware that Riu Palace Peninsula will be closing for renovations starting April 6, 2026. The projected reopening date will be anywhere from July 25 to August 8, 2026.

Beach Palace, a family-friendly Palace resort, closed Aug. 15, 2025, to do an entire renovation to the property to the tune of $60 million USD. The reno is supposed to be comprehensive and focused on family amenities with this project; the reported reopening date is anywhere from March to May 2026.
Golden Parnassus Cancun Closed For Renovations…
If you’ve got an upcoming reservation for Golden Parnassus Cancun you’d better check with your TA (if using one) or the party with which you’ve booked your stay.
Hyatt Zilara Cancun Changes Renovation Reopening Date…
Looks like vacationers interested in a stay at this adults-only luxury resort (Hyatt Zilara Cancun) will have to wait a bit longer for renovations to be completed. The old reopening date was Dec. 2025, now it has been changed to Feb. 1, 2026.
Paradisus Cancun To Close For Renovations
Just got back from my Cancun vacation and will have my first resort review up in about a week. I just read that Paradisus Cancun will be closing for a complete renovation. The resort will be halting services May 2025 and projected to reopen July 2026.
Marriott’s Paraiso de la Bonita Has A New Opening Time Frame…
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.
Hyatt Zilara Cancun To Close For Renovations
Better hurry and get in your last resort stay at Hyatt Zilara Cancun…it’s scheduled to close for a complete renovation.
Marriott’s Zoetry Paraiso de la Bonita Has New Projected Opening Month…
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.
SLS Out Now As Well????
FYI: The resort did indeed open Nov. 10, 2024. I guess they found a way around the safety issues…
