As I stepped off the plane and felt the warm Mexican breeze, a wave of excitement washed over me. Cancun’s vibrant energy is infectious. On a recent girls’ trip, I stayed at the Hyatt Vivid Grand Island, a stunning new adults-only property in a gated community between the Nichupté Lagoon and the Caribbean Ocean, a swift 15-minute drive from the airport.
The idea of spending uninterrupted days with my friends in this paradise felt almost surreal. We indulged in oceanfront views throughout our getaway, relaxed at the beach club, and even shopped for timeless treasures to bring back home. Travel has taught me that no matter how often I visit a destination, new discoveries always await.
A Modern Oasis In Cancun
The Hyatt Vivid Grand Island was instantly captivating with its modern elegance. The high-rise structure stood tall and proud, offering breathtaking views at every turn. Our rooms were chic and comfortable, each with a balcony overlooking either the tranquil lagoon or the endless ocean. The gentle lull of the lagoon’s waters and the ocean brought a sense of calm and an escape from busy lives.
One of the highlights of our stay was undoubtedly the rooftop pool. Spanning an impressive 295 feet, it’s the longest rooftop pool in Cancun, a unique feature with 360-degree views. Each morning, the day began with a leisurely swim, while evenings were spent sipping cocktails and marveling at the sun.
While the hotel was a relaxation haven, we also visited the private Ennea Beach Club nearby. This exclusive spot offered direct access to Playa Delfines, one of Cancun’s most popular beaches. With its powdery white sand and crystal-clear waters, it was easy to lose track of time. The beach club’s dedicated pool, restaurant, and bar ensured we had everything needed for a perfect day by the sea. The rhythmic sound of waves, the warm sun on our skin, and the laughter shared among friends created memories we’ll cherish forever.
Timeless Treasures
Beyond the luxury and leisure, this trip was about reconnecting and creating new memories. We explored the vibrant streets of downtown Cancun, picking up timeless goodies to bring a piece of the adventure back home. I found a beautiful set of clay plates, each a testament to the region’s rich artisanal heritage. These keepsakes now sit proudly in my kitchen, a daily reminder of our Mexican artistry.
However, it wasn’t just about the souvenirs; the time spent together mattered most. We talked late into the night, reminiscing about old times and sharing our hopes for the future. The bonds we had formed over the years felt more vital than ever, reaffirmed by being in community with friends.
This girls’ getaway to Cancun was more than just a vacation—it was a much-needed pause, a chance to reconnect with the people who know me best. The Hyatt Vivid Grand Island provided the perfect backdrop for this reunion, with its stunning views, luxurious amenities, and the serene beauty of Cancun. I returned home feeling refreshed, recharged, and reminded of the importance of friendship. Sometimes, all it takes is a bit of sun, sea, and good company to feel whole again.
