Marriott International will debut its first Marriott all-inclusive property at the site of the former Marriott Cancun Resort, which closed last March to undergo an extensive renovation as part of its conversion. The hotel, now renamed the Marriott Cancun, An All-Inclusive Resort, has been Marriott International’s legacy property in the Yucatán Peninsula for several decades and will reopen in early 2024 as a premium all-inclusive resort.
“It’s wonderful to be at the forefront of something as groundbreaking as this” Christopher Calabrese, GM and VP of Marriott Cancun and JW Marriott Cancun Resort & Spa, said in a statement. “Over my extensive tenure with the Marriott brand, I’ve maintained that we can only grow in collaboration with our valued guests. ... To be the first all-inclusive Marriott branded property, not only in Mexico, but in the world, is a true testament to the dedication of our staff, who are the heart and soul of our operation here, and our guests, who continue to visit year after year."
Marriott International’s footprint in the all-inclusive segment has grown substantially in the last four years with 31 resorts in the company's all-inclusive portfolio.
Marriott Cancun will have redesigned rooms, suites, lobby, meeting spaces and public areas, including new restaurant concepts, pools, and a lazy river and waterpark.
