Marriott Cancun, An All-Inclusive Resort (formerly known as CasaMagna) is located in Cancun’s Hotel Zone right next to its sister resort, JW Marriott Cancun–the one with the great oceanfront pool but is NOT an all-inclusive resort. Marriott Cancun closed last March for extensive renovations and has gone fully all-inclusive (it used to be an all-inclusive optional property).
I almost forgot to post about this piece of news. Now Emerald Cancun resort will be closing Aug. 1, 2023 for 10-12 months to do a complete renovation. It is expected to open summer 2024. Renovations will consist of a new building housing 118 new guest rooms, adding a theater, gym, and steakhouse restaurant, and completely renovating pretty much everything else on the property. I anticipate there will be no major changes to the main pool area, perhaps just retiling since everything else will be updated.
For those who like the Marriott hotel brand, just a short post to remind everyone that the Marriott Cancun (formerly known as CasaMagna Resort Cancun) closed March 13, 2023 in order to completely renovate the property. It will open early 2024 as an all-inclusive resort; it was previously operating as an all-inclusive optional resort.
Still looking to book an all-inclusive resort in Cancun for the summer? Club Med Cancun should be right up there on your list of resorts to check out for a fun, family-oriented summer vacation!
I generally don’t tend to follow Oasis Hotels and Resorts, so I missed their recent changes entirely until I began seeing new video snippets of The Sens Cancun which looked very much like Grand Oasis Palm. So that you have an idea of where this resort is located, Grand Oasis Palm and Oasis Palm are adjacent to one another and are both situated towards the western end of Cancun’s Hotel Zone by the pirate ship excursion and Cancun’s Scenic Tower. I’m still trying to put these changes together in a coherent fashion, so if there are any readers out there that know more about this resort change than I do, please chime in and let me know where I may be assuming something or have left out something important.
I’ve been eagerly awaiting a video like this–the first one showing the renovations done at Dreams Sands Cancun. This resort was totally closed for several months in the latter part of 2022 and just reopened a couple of weeks ago.
For those of you who don’t know (myself included), Dreams Sands Cancun has been closed since Aug. 2022 and just reopened with the following renovations: Continue reading
For those interested in what cosmetic changes have been made to the Omni (now known as the Wyndham Grand Cancun), here’s a video which does a good job of summarizing the resort’s amenities and features. I wish the videographer would have showcased one of the villa suites since I think it’s always been one of this resort’s best draws. Glad to see Wyndham still kept the sushi station and the beachfront swim-up bar area!
As of Nov. 1, 2022, the Omni Cancun will be called the Wyndham Grand Cancun. The resort will reportedly change some things cosmetically, but the amenities will basically remain the same with 364 guest rooms and villas, seven restaurants, five bars, four pools, spa, gym, tennis courts, and kid’s club. I hope they are not going to change the beach pool and bar with the swing seats, I’ve always thought this was Omni’s best amenity. In case you don’t know, this resort is located in the southern section of Cancun’s Hotel Zone so that means a quick trip to and from the Cancun airport.
The fully renovated Royal Uno, which used to be the Royal Caribbean, is supposed to open tomorrow on June 28, 2022. If I’m not mistaken I believe the resort is near the Omni Cancun and the Cancun museum in the southern part of the Hotel Zone.
