Well, at least it’s something…Marriott has several very nice pics posted of what some rooms and restaurants will look like when the renovations are all completed.  Marriott’s website also states that this resort is projected to reopen January 2025, but no specific date yet has been mentioned.  I haven’t even read anywhere they are accepting any bookings. I attempted a couple of dummy bookings online for various dates in Jan and Feb 2025, but I kept getting “Your selected hotel has no available rooms”.  So I’m thinking that it may be longer than Jan. 2025 before the resort is reopened.

FYI:  As of 11/16/24, Marriott has listed the projected opening timeline to be Jan. 2025; however, I was unable to make a booking in either Jan. or Feb. 2025, so it may be after Jan. 2025 before the resort reopens.

FYI:  Since I made this post, I’ve done more checking into the resort’s renovations and have found out it is a total gut job.  Yes, everything is going.  I’ve watched videos of the pools being decimated, another floor is being added to some guest room buildings, and seen computer generated pics of the lobby area which keeps none of the elegant charm that I loved about this resort.  If you want more moment-by-moment info on this renovation, the best place to get it is on Facebook–ask to join the Riu Palace Riviera Maya page.

Just a note, Iberostar has confirmed on Twitter that the entire resort is scheduled to reopen for guests on Dec. 11, 2015.  It may open on the 10th, but officially they are taking bookings for the 11th.  Right now the Tucan and Quetzal sides are both closed due to the fire which occurred the other day–the damage was greater than originally thought with both main buffets, the spa, the bar area, and several nearby guest room buildings affected by the smoke and flame.
