Now Emerald Cancun used to be called Grand Oasis Sens–it is located on the east side of the “7” in the Hotel Zone. While some renovations were made, the resort itself looks very similar with cosmetic changes and re-naming of public spaces. The resort opened with its re-branded name in June 2019 and is fully operational at this point.
AM Resorts (re. Secrets, Now, Breathless, etc.) is going to take over two Oasis brand resorts–Grand Oasis Sens will become Now Emerald Cancun, while Grand Oasis Tulum will become Sunscape Akumal Beach Resort and Spa. Renovations will be done and the rebranding is supposed to take effect June 1, 2019.

Riu Palace Las Americas is in the final stages of finishing its guest room renovations.
