CANCUN CONVERSION: Marriott to introduce first branded all-inclusive

Marriott International is developing its first-ever Marriott-branded all-inclusive property at the site of the former Marriott Cancun Resort, which closed its doors last March to undergo an extensive renovation for its conversion.

The award-winning hotel – now renamed Marriott Cancun, An All-Inclusive Resort – has been Marriott International’s legacy property in the Yucatan Peninsula for several decades gracing its sweeping shoreline with beachfront elevated accommodations, top amenities, and access to Cancun’s most treasured experiences.

“Travellers will be relieved to discover that they will not be bidding their beloved Marriott Cancun Resort a permanent goodbye, but instead, expecting a very exciting reopening with a more modern product,” says Alex Fiz, Area VP Caribbean & Managing Director All-Inclusive for Marriott International

He adds that the reimagined property plans a “sophisticated twist to the traditional all-inclusive concept” in tune with one of the world’s most exclusive resort destinations.

Citing rapidly growing interest in all-inclusive properties, Marriott says travellers are more likely than ever to book single-price vacations for a hassle-free trip planning and friendly budgeting and booking process.

Marriott International’s footprint in the all-inclusive segment has grown substantially in the last four years and today its All-Inclusive by Marriott Bonvoy portfolio is comprised with 31 resorts with more in the pipleline.

The renewed Marriott Cancun An All-Inclusive Resort, will feature redesigned rooms, suites, lobby, meeting spaces, and public areas, including new innovative restaurant concepts, expansive pools, and even a lazy river and waterpark.

Keeping with Marriott Hotels’ commitment to providing upscale and enriching experiences, the premium all-inclusive property will deliver future guests with elevated food and beverage choices, a state-of-the-art fitness centre, authentic daily and nightly entertainment.

The resort that began to undergo renovations in March of 2023 is expected to welcome guests again in early 2024 as a premium all-inclusive resort.
