Marriott International opened the doors of its first all-inclusive resort, the Marriott Cancun, An All-Inclusive Resort, in the Quintana Roo region of Mexico. Nestled along the turquoise waters of the Gulf of Mexico in the heart of Cancun’s Hotel Zone, the opening of Marriott Cancun, An All-Inclusive Resort marks the first-ever all-inclusive resort fully conceptualized by the Marriott brand.
Taking the place of the Marriott Cancun Resort, which closed its doors for extensive renovations last year, 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 opening of this innovative new property, Marriott intends to redefine 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.
“It’s exciting to be at the forefront of a groundbreaking new resort like this,” said Chris 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, not only in Mexico, but in the world, is a true testament to the culture and care for our guests we’ve built at this location. We are thrilled to welcome our guests back with open arms.”
Marriott Cancun, an All-Inclusive Resort creates spaces for every generation of traveler, 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 is 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.
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.
Travelers are now able to book reservations for Marriott Cancun, An All-Inclusive Resort. The 450-room resort will include nine specialty 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.
