Marriott Hotels, the signature flag of Marriott Bonvoy’s portfolio of more than 30 extraordinary brands, hasn’t just set the standard for hospitality, it’s raised it.

The brand is redefining the all-inclusive vacation with the grand opening of its newest property, Marriott Cancun, An All-Inclusive Resort. This debut marks a new era for Marriott Hotels as its first all-inclusive resort, inviting guests of all ages and generations to immerse themselves in enriching experiences, captivating entertainment, and vibrant local culture.

All-Inclusive Getaways are Getting a Makeover with Marriott Hotels’ Market Entry Marriott Hotels’ foray into the all-inclusive market underscores its dedication to meeting the increasing demand for multigenerational travel experiences. Recent data shows that over 50% of parents are planning trips involving grandparents and children, highlighting a growing preference for inclusive and hassle-free vacation options. By entering this sector now, Marriott Hotels reaffirms its commitment to providing unforgettable stays that emphasize relaxation, care, and shared moments — all in one convenient location.

Family is at the heart of Marriott Hotels, and with its extensive resort portfolio of over 70 locations worldwide, the brand aims to foster human connection through the lens of Wonderful Hospitality – whether it’s couples or friends traveling together, solo guests enjoying some me-time, or families travelling with children of all ages.

Marriott Cancun features a comprehensive range of amenities and services designed to cater to every guest’s needs. Beginning with the Great room, guests are instantly welcomed into its energetic atmosphere, complemented by a modern and elegant design that is infused with local details and a mood that transitions seamlessly from day to night.

From the welcome station to the buzzy signature bar, the space sets the tone of the trip for each guest with a relaxed and inviting environment. The resort features 450 newly redesigned guestrooms, including 124 premium ocean view rooms and 38 suites with balconies offering breath taking vistas of the azure waters.

For those seeking ultimate indulgence, the two Presidential Suites epitomize luxury, featuring a large balcony that overlooks Cancun’s pristine beaches to the east and a beautiful terrace with views of the Nichupte Lagoon and its nuanced sunsets to the west. Each room showcases contemporary décor, well-appointed bathrooms, and daily replenished mini bars, ensuring a harmonious fusion of comfort and convenience throughout each guest’s stay.

Marriott Cancun Boasts 13 Culinary Gems to Uncover & Savour Guests can embark on a culinary journey with 13 diverse dining options, including everything from vibrant flavours of Mexican cuisine and innovative Japanese dishes to poolside pizzerias and refreshing ceviche served in a tropical oasis.

Both unique culinary offerings are inspired by Marriott’s hospitality roots and will serve as staples for future Marriott Hotels All-Inclusive properties.
