Hyatt Zilara Riviera Maya Resort

Scheduled to open in December 2022, Hyatt Zilara Riviera Maya Resort is a glamourous adults-only hotel located on a remote stretch in the Riviera Maya. The property is surrounded by lush mangroves and instantly transports travelers to a vacation state of mind with modern design elements and a swoon-worthy white sand beach. Hyatt Zilara Riviera Maya Resort features a total of 291 suites and is located just six miles from Playa del Carmen.

“We are excited to, once again, partner with Hyatt and expand our footprint in Mexico's Riviera Maya region. From inception more than nine years ago in Cancun, the Hyatt Zilara experience has been the standard-bearer for what an all-inclusive experience could be and should be for adult guests,” said Fernando Mulet, executive vice president & chief development officer for Playa Hotels & Resorts.

Dreams® Cozumel Cape Resort & Spa

After a brief delay, Dreams® Cozumel Cape Resort & Spa is scheduled to open on September 1st, 2022. The resort will be AMR™ Collection’s first property in Cozumel and will feature 154 Preferred Club suites, a collection of Jr Suites and several spacious family suites accommodating up to six people. Perhaps most exciting is the fact that Dreams® Cozumel Cape Resort & Spa will become the largest complex in all of Cozumel with exclusive access to the largest beach and spa on the entire island.

“Mexico is a cornerstone of AMResorts’ success and growth, as travelers in the U.S. and beyond continue to seek out the beautiful destinations and world-class hospitality it is known for,” said Javier Coll, group president of AMResorts global business development. “The Dreams® Resorts & Spas brand is among AMR™ Collection’s most popular and respected brands due to the consistent, high-quality experiences guests of all ages enjoy from property to property – we are confident in the addition of Dreams® Cozumel Cape Resort & Spa to bring the brand standards to a new destination in Mexico.”

Temptation Miches Resort and Temptation Grand Miches Resort

Several months and more than $120 million later, the two adults-only properties are expected to open on October 1st, 2022 with all the saucy bells and whistles that travelers have come to expect from the brand.

Temptation Miches Resort will feature 382 suites while Temptation Grand Miches will offer 114 suites respectively.

As for entertainment, the resort will boast four-tired infinity pools, one large whirlpool (accommodating up to 30 guests) and a thrilling waterslide that will take guests from the main pool to the ocean.

“AMR Collection™ is thrilled with the addition of Secrets® Impression Isla Mujeres to bring the luxury resort brand and its second-ever Impression concept to the island paradise within Mexico’s popular Yucatan Peninsula,” said Javier Coll, group president of global business development at Apple Leisure Group®. “Demand for unforgettable vacation experiences in settings that prioritize luxury, personalization and service is at a high.
