I guess it’s really no surprise, but Karisma dumped their Azul Beach Resort Riviera Cancun property 2024 after the horrific electrocution death of a guest in one of the resort’s hot tubs. It’s now a Tafer resort–the deal occurred later on in 2024. The new name is Palmar Beach Resort Riviera Maya. It’s still family-friendly and is being marketed as a multigenerational resort.
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.
Here’s a newcomer to the Puerto Morelos hotel market–The Fives Oceanfront is an all-inclusive optional, family-friendly luxury boutique hotel located on the outskirts of Puerto Morelos in the Riviera Maya. There are several “The Fives” resorts, so be careful if you decide to book since you may wind up staying at the wrong hotel/resort. It became kind of confusing when Karisma removed their name brand from Azul Fives Resort a couple of years ago (that resort is now rebranded as a “The Fives” resort), but that’s a different blog post.
