After a frustrating last minute delay earlier this month, Hyatt’s newest aspirational property has just opened. It’s in one of my favorite areas of Mexico, and I figure I’m not the only one who finds this opening interesting…

Maybe wait to keep pumping this place until they open and prove themselves. They took reservations, delayed their opening date, and failed to communicate with those who had reservations and were en-route. (TripAdvisor, flyertalk) I do have a reservation beginning January 16, 2023. I'm guessing they will be ready by then.
Curious why you keep bumping this post, Ben. Third time I've seen it at the top of the page.
Drop the passive aggressive attitude about the kid thing Ben, it's not a cute look.
@ Alex -- I'm not sure how you interpret what I say as being passive aggressive?
@ Ryan -- I first wrote about this hotel months before opening, since it looked interesting. I then wrote about it earlier this month when I thought it had opened (based on the fact that the hotel was accepting reservations for stays the same night). That didn't end up being the case, hence me posting about it again, since it's now official that the hotel is open.
@ jrjcopp -- I'm not sure writing about an interesting-looking new hotel is "pumping" this place up? Should I not write about any future or new hotel openings, or...?
The almost singular focus on SEO clickbait guides, credit card pitches, and soft sells for premium hotel travel advisers/agents is getting a little old.
Instead of churning out 5 articles a day, focus on quality. Please. Quality always best quantity.
Reviews and criticism are missing from the blog these days.
Looks amazing. Am currently planning to go to Andaz Papayago in Jan but may switch to this. Question: does anyone know if there are more pictures of the rooms/floor plans/size info etc.
Eg the Ocean View Milagro w Plunge pool, there seems to be no info/pictures about it except for a stock photo of a bed when booking on hyatt.
Don't want to book a room and drop 60k points per night without an idea of what I'm booking...
@FNT Delta Diamond
weird criticism, but FYI it's "quality bestS quantity"
quality is a singular noun and thus the verb is "bests" not "best"
You could alternatively say that "quality is better than quantity"
PS the 34% tax is over the top.... --it is called get the TOURISTS unless you can use points,,,but at Esperanza we cannot!!
I had the good fortune to visit the “old” Rancho many times before it closed for this renovation. While it does indeed look beautiful, the true beauty of the resort was its size (small!) and the resulting highly personal nature of the stay. Guests were never asked for a name or room number - the staff knew. Many guests were repeat visitors and became good friends planning return visits together. It’s a bit hard to imagine that a global chain will be able to keep the same spirit even if the ownership remains the same (ownership was always highly involved and sensitive to the environment, the staff and the experience). That said, I am sure it will be a lovely resort - if not the unique experience it was. But really - it’s now more or less 3 times the previous price…?! Come on ….
Final note - the “kid-free” part was essential to the old atmosphere. I’m glad that remains.
Question: So do you not have to pay the Taxes if your redeeming points? Does this also work for Bonvoy? In other countries? I've just been accumulating points for the last few years, have never burned any yet. Thinking 2023 is the year.
Had a wonderful 4-night stay. The hotel is still in a soft-open phase but I would say it's 90% "there" in terms of being fully working. The culinary team was a real stand-out here and I loved all of the classes that were offered. Fantastic staff. One of the valet attendants even changed our flat tire on our rental (there' s a 5 min dirt road to the property which can wreak havoc on a car if you hit a rock). Adults only, no pets resort. Definitely a pricey area of mexico compared to other parts. The artisan town 10 min away (Todos Santos) is worth a visit.
You would think the price might include carbon monoxide free rooms. Never staying at a Hyatt
Couple just died of carbon monoxide poisoning here. Please use caution here if feeling sick to get out of the rooms.
