Marriott International is in the midst of transforming the Marriott Cancun Resort into the Marriott Cancun, an All-Inclusive Resort.

Marriott shuttered the property in March, when the sweeping renovation process began and said it is “utilizing the space to offer a luxurious twist to the traditional all-inclusive concept when it reopens as Marriott Cancun, an All Inclusive Resort.”

It is scheduled to debut next year.

Following a survey of Marriott Bonvoy members, the company said it “discovered that 173 million … expressed interest in taking an all-inclusive vacation.”

“Thus, the premium brand is taking the concept to the next level by offering booking options within the high-end sector.

“The new resort will redefine what it means to be ‘all-inclusive,’ not only in terms of services offered, but also in terms of accommodating the lifestyles of visiting guests within the new vision.”

The resort, which is set in Cancun’s Hotel Zone, will feature an adults pool, kids pool with a lazy river and waterpark overlooking the sea; an eclectic collection of culinary options, including American, Asian, Mexican, Thai, along with a cevicheria and food-and-beverage pop-ups offered on a daily basis; a fitness center; a spa; a kids club; and more.

“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.

“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.”
