One of the things I’ve found to be outstanding about the rebranded Hyatt Ziva Riviera Cancun is the number of food and drink options available.  There are at least seven restaurants serving a variety of meals (some serve a more buffet style breakfast and lunch while serving a la carte dinners with a specific theme), four various smaller food “shops” serving a small number of specific food options, and some bars which serve both drinks and snacks.  There are also “pop-up” food stations as well.

It’s a “5 O’Clock Somewhere” State of Mind at Margaritaville Island Reserve

Margaritaville Island Reserve Riviera Cancun is Karisma’s first partnership with the Jimmy Buffett hotel brand–I believe it is the very first Jimmy Buffett all-inclusive resort anywhere. This resort used to be known as Azul Beach Resort (Azul is Karisma’s family-friendly resort brand name); the resort reopened after a huge renovation but unfortunately it reopened right before the pandemic hit.  It has been a slow start for them, but it looks like they are finally settling into their resort “groove”.

If anyone is interested in a video of my room category at TRS Yucatan, here’s a look at the great Jr. Suite Private Pool Garden View I had at this resort.  I would definitely recommend it, there is plenty of space for two individuals with the added plus of your own small pool to enjoy with all the hot weather there is during the summer months in this part of Mexico.

In Case You Missed the Grand Palladium Fire….

For those of you who haven’t seen the video yet of the Grand Palladium fire which occurred a couple of weeks ago, I thought I’d post it so you can get an idea of how quickly a palapa roof fire can burn at a Mexico resort and potentially spread to other structures.  Seeing this video makes me realize how lucky it was that no one was hurt and no other significant structures were burned beside the lobbies.
