I’ve never run across this before–a well-known and respected resort brand sells a property to another chain brand and then buys it back several years later…This appears to be what happened with Grand Oasis Tulum Riviera, an all-inclusive resort located between Akumal Bay Beach and Wellness Resort and the Bahia Principe mega-resort just north of Tulum.  This resort used to be known as Grand Oasis Tulum (owned by Oasis Hotels and Resorts), then became an AMR Collection resort called Sunscape Akumal (AMR resorts include Secrets, Dreams, etc., Sunscape is a cheaper family-friendly option in comparison to Dreams resorts).  Apparently Hyatt has sold it back to Oasis.  Hmmm…if anyone knows the inner workings of this transaction please let us all know.

Just a short blog post about booking your spring break vacay in 2024…if you haven’t already booked your stay in Cancun or the Riviera Maya, be aware that your preferred resort may already be SOLD OUT.  I just happened to snag pretty much the last two rooms available at Hard Rock Riviera Maya for my dates of stay in March 2024.  This resort has been on my bucket list of “resorts that are a must to be booked”; I almost waited too long to reserve my stay!!!  Don’t let this happen to you–book right now if you have your eye on a resort which is a must to fulfill your vacay dreams!
