Planet Hollywood Cancun has finally opened, but it looks like it’s off to a slow start. There appears to be only one a la carte open (probably due to low occupancy), in-room liquor dispensers are empty, beers don’t appear to be in the mini-fridges yet (see video below), while I read that the spa, convention center, and one a la carte restaurant are still being finished.
Rumor has it that there will be a $10 USD international tourist tax to be collected at the Cancun airport–whether it will be upon arrival or departure is still in question. This tax is supposed to cover the use of “public domain assets”.
For those of you following/interested in the construction of the newest Riu resort in Cancun, news has it that it has been indefinitely halted.
For those of you familiar with the newest Royalton resort, Royalton Suites Cancun which is located in the Hotel Zone, please be aware that this resort will be changing to adults-only when it reopens on Oct. 29, 2020. Its new name will be Royalton CHIC Suites Cancun Resort and Spa.

I found it to be informative in terms of what is required of visitors as well as what staff are doing differently in the park.
