The Resort & Its Setting

Now Sapphire Riviera Cancun by UVC sits on the Caribbean coast in Puerto Morelos, Quintana Roo, a fishing-village-turned-resort-town that still feels low-key compared to Cancun or Playa del Carmen. Guests rate the property 4.3 out of 5 across more than 5,600 Google reviews, and the general picture is of airy rooms with terraces, swim-up bars, several outdoor pools and five on-site restaurants — a solid, amenity-rich base for an all-inclusive stay. The resort is part of the UVC vacation ownership portfolio and operates under the Hyatt Inclusive Collection name, so owners benefit from branded hospitality standards layered onto the usual timeshare structure.

Puerto Morelos & the Riviera Maya

Puerto Morelos itself is walkable and low-rise, with a small-town plaza, local seafood restaurants and independent shops just a few minutes from the resort. It's also well placed for day trips: Playa del Carmen's shops, beach clubs and nightlife are about 35km down the coast, and the eco-archaeological park at Xcaret, with its cenotes and cultural shows, is roughly 50km away. Cancun International Airport is around 45km north, making arrival and departure straightforward whether you're flying in from the UK, US or elsewhere. The wider Riviera Maya coastline is known for turquoise water and reef-fringed beaches, and Puerto Morelos has its own protected reef just offshore — worth knowing if snorkelling or diving is part of why you keep coming back.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you're ready to move on from your Now Sapphire Riviera Cancun by UVC week, BidMyTimeshare.com works as a private owner-to-owner marketplace: you set your own asking price, list the week directly, and buyers or renters contact you through the platform. There's no commission on the sale — sellers simply pay a one-time listing fee.

Before you price it, it's worth understanding the transfer mechanics on the UVC/Hyatt Vacation Club side. Hyatt doesn't publish an official resale transfer fee, but reports from current owners put it in the region of $500–600 for closing and transfer, and Hyatt is understood to hold a right of first refusal for up to 30 days on resales — meaning the brand can step in and match a sale before it completes. Brokers typically quote 8–10 weeks for a transfer to go through once a buyer is found. One restriction buyers should know upfront: a resale purchase cannot later be converted into World of Hyatt points, so if that's a feature you value, factor it into your offer. The resort is RCI-affiliated, so an owner selling a week here can point to that exchange network as part of the appeal for a buyer who wants flexibility to trade into other RCI resorts.

Practical Notes for Buyers and Renters

Buyers evaluating a resale week here should confirm the current annual maintenance fee directly with the seller or UVC before agreeing a price, since this isn't publicly listed and varies by unit and season. Renters, meanwhile, are typically looking at straightforward questions: which dates the 3-night week package covers, what's included in the all-inclusive package (meals, drinks and activities are standard, but specifics should be confirmed at booking), and whether the week can be used flexibly around shoulder-season travel. Puerto Morelos runs on Eastern Time, and a valid passport (with at least six months remaining) is required for all international arrivals into Mexico.

Travel Tips

Aim for May–June or September–October if you want quieter crowds and good weather without peak-season pricing. US dollars are widely accepted in Puerto Morelos, though it's worth keeping some pesos on hand for smaller local purchases. If you plan to explore beyond the resort, renting a car gives you the most flexibility along the Riviera Maya, while the resort's own shuttle services cover shorter local trips.
