Impression Isla Mujeres joins The Unbound Collection by Hyatt

Impression Isla Mujeres has joined The Unbound Collection by Hyatt, with the Mexican resort retaining its adults-only, all-inclusive format and Endless Privileges inclusions.

Announced Nov. 2, the addition brings the 123-suite property into Hyatt’s collection of independent hotels and resorts as the brand celebrates its 10th anniversary.

Located at Punta Sur, the southern tip of Isla Mujeres off Cancún’s coast, the resort opened in 2023 under the Impression by Secrets brand.

For travel advisors, the transition means a new collection affiliation while the resort’s established services, amenities and experiences continue.

“Joining The Unbound Collection by Hyatt recognizes the individuality we’ve sought to create,” said Mourad Essafi, the resort’s general manager.

Suites, dining and wellness

All suites feature private terraces, many with views of the Caribbean Sea or surrounding coastline. The property also offers infinity pools and private Mayan soaking tubs.

Recent additions to its wellness spaces include yoga hammocks, wellness cabanas and TRX equipment.

Seven restaurants serve Italian, pan-Asian, Mexican and Mediterranean cuisine, alongside grilled dishes. Dining options include seafood, steak, tacos, wood-fired pizza and teppanyaki, while five bars and lounges range from swim-up venues to a rooftop cocktail setting.

According to Hyatt, the resort’s naturally sheltered location is seldom affected by sargassum.

Local connections and marine conservation

The property features contributions from Mexican artist César López Negrete, architect Javier Uma and marine life artist Wyland, connecting its design to the island’s surroundings and Mexican culture.

Through its partnership with the nonprofit Saving Our Sharks Foundation, the resort dedicates a portion of room revenue to marine conservation. It has also hosted guest snorkeling and shark-tagging excursions.

The partnership supports local fishing communities and alternative livelihoods for fishers transitioning away from shark fishing.

Established in 2016, The Unbound Collection by Hyatt includes properties selected for their individual character and stories. Recent additions include The Clayfield in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ont., The Georgian in Santa Monica and Hôtel Palais de la Méditerranée in Nice, France.
