Hilton expands all-inclusive portfolio in Mexico

Hilton has signed of a management agreement for the 540-room Hilton Cancun Mar Caribe All-Inclusive Resort. Expected to open in November of this year, the newly-renovated property bolsters Hilton’s all-inclusive presence in the Caribbean and Latin America, where Hilton currently has nine all-inclusive resorts.

Centrally located in Cancun’s Hotel Zone, the resort is 10 miles from Cancun International Airport along 600 feet of beachfront between the Caribbean Sea and the Nichupte Lagoon. The property, formerly known as Royal Uno All-Inclusive Resort & Spa, is owned by Tortuga Resorts and will be managed by Hilton.

The hotel is Hilton's sixth all-inclusive property in Mexico, where the company currently has nearly 90 hotels and approximately 25 additional hotels in various stages of development.

“Mexico continues to play an essential role in our organic growth strategy across the Caribbean and Latin America especially as we look to expand our all-inclusive footprint. The addition of Hilton Cancun Mar Caribe All-Inclusive Resort has helped solidify our positioning as an all-inclusive hospitality leader in the country where we’ve now more than doubled our all-inclusive presence since 2021,” Juan Corvinos, senior vice president of development, architecture and construction, Caribbean and Latin America, Hilton, said in a statement. “This hotel’s signing marks an important milestone as we continuously look for new opportunities to provide value for our owners, meet the ever-evolving needs of our guests, and cater to increasing demand for elevated all-inclusive resorts.”

The recently updated resort has 459 ocean-view guestrooms and 81 suites. Unique to the property, the hotel’s pool and deck area sit above the ground level for unhindered beachfront views. Specialty suites span over 1,000 square feet featuring indoor and outdoor space, including a private plunge pool or whirlpool with direct beach access from its sundeck.

In addition to the resort’s renovated rooms and suites, Hilton Cancun Mar Caribe All-Inclusive Resort will have five dining options including an Asian show kitchen, Italian, Mexican, all-day dining, a coffee shop and a pool grill. The resort's five bars will run the range from rooftop to sports, lobby, pool and beach bars.
