Marriott Cancun, An All-Inclusive Resort will set itself apart by bringing “Wonderful Hospitality. Always
Marriott Hotels will bring unforgettable and highly experiential adventures, perfect for the entire family
CANCUN, MEXICO – November 30, 2023 – Marriott International will debut its first-ever all-inclusive property fully conceptualized by the Marriott brand at the site of the former Marriott Cancun Resort, which closed its doors for the extensive renovation this past March. The award-winning Marriott Cancun Resort has been a staple of the Yucatan Peninsula for several decades - gracing its sweeping shoreline with beachfront accommodations, world-class amenities, and access to Cancun’s most treasured experiences. Opening in early 2024, the new Marriott Cancun, An All-Inclusive Resort invites guests of all ages to connect with one another - and the local culture - through enriching experiences, engaging entertainment, and dynamic hospitality.
With the rapidly growing interest in all-inclusive properties, consumers are more likely than ever to book single-price vacation packages, which simplify the trip planning and budgeting process. With nearly 600 hotels and resorts, Marriott Hotels has already made an indelible mark on both the modern business and leisure traveler, and recently discovered that 173 million Marriott members expressed interest in all-inclusive vacations. Thus, the premium brand is taking the concept to the next level by redefining what it means to be ‘all-inclusive,’ not only in terms of services offered, but in terms of accommodating the lifestyles of visiting guests within the new vision. This momentum presents an opportunity to invite new and loyal travelers of Marriott Bonvoy’s flagship hotel brand on this next journey of relaxation and exploration.
Expanding upon the all-inclusive promise, Marriott Cancun, an All-Inclusive Resort will stand by creating a space where every generation of traveler will be met with comfort, connection, and excitement, leaving them free to explore their passions, enrich themselves in the destination and make lasting memories with loved ones. From the moment of arrival, each day will be theirs to curate, providing them with delicious culinary options, a calendar of family-friendly activities, nightly entertainment and more - all of which will be fused with a true sense of the local culture and led by the exceptional and heartfelt Marriott Hotels associates.
While programming and activities will evolve throughout the year, standout experiences will include:
- The Greatroom - a signature concept for Marriott Hotels, with a unique twist created especially for All-Inclusive properties. As the hub of the resort experience, it’s a place where guests can come together to socialize between activities. With a captivating design and a seamless flow from indoor to outdoor, it’s also an opportunity to further connect with the locale. From the moment they enter, guests can immediately transition into vacation mode as they are treated to a signature arrival soda refresher, inspired by iconic crafted sodas and a nod to the brand’s heritage, while bonding with others in this shared experience.
- Novice-to-Expert Artist Workshops - unique programming and activities designed to improve guests’ sense of fulfillment. They can learn about the destination through the eyes of local craftspeople, with hands-on classes and experiences that broaden horizons for engaging with one another as well as the local culture.
- Elevated Amenities and Rich Entertainment - designed with every type of guest experience in mind. Whether seeking ‘me time’ or ‘we time,’ guests will be delighted with options such as the dynamic pools and water slides, unique pop-up cinema moments, nightly entertainment and beachside family picnics.
- A Seat at the Table for Every Generation - a guarantee with the well-rounded restaurant offerings available at every resort. Guests will be able to indulge in familiar cuisine with nostalgic touches, such as the signature burger and shake restaurant; beach-inspired eateries; and unique pop-up experiences and rituals, including Alice’s Tamale Ritual, an afternoon festivity that is steeped in the heritage of the Marriott name and will bring guests together around a delicious and memorable culinary experience.
“It’s wonderful to be at the forefront of something as groundbreaking as this,” said Christopher Calabrese, General Manager and Vice President of Marriott Cancun, An All-Inclusive Resort and JW Marriott Cancun Resort & Spa. “Over my extensive tenure with the Marriott brand, I’ve maintained that we can only grow in collaboration with our valued guests, consistently honoring their needs and desires. To be the first all-inclusive fully conceptualized by Marriott 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. We are anxious to welcome everyone back in 2024.”
Travelers are now able to book reservations for Marriott Cancun, An All-Inclusive Resort. The 450-room resort will include nine speciality restaurants; unique daily pop-up experiences; exciting water features, such as a lazy river and water slides; and a variety of special entertainment to support, connect and celebrate local culture.
