Marriott Cancun Closes For Renovations…
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.

- All other Cancun/Riviera Maya AMResorts are now open–this also includes Zoetry Paraiso de la Bonita which wasn’t supposed to reopen until Nov.
Riu Palace Riviera Maya Closes for Renovations
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.

Palladium Hotels and Resorts has renamed The Royal Suites Yucatan by Palladium; it will be called TRS Yucatan Hotel by Palladium. The rebranding will involve guest room renovations, guest rooms with a private pool, the addition of an infinity pool and Ibiza-style beach club, and new dining venues. Additional staff will be hired in order to provide a higher level of customer service. This part of the Palladium resort complex will remain adults-only.
Follow-Up to Iberostar Quetzal Fire
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.
Generations Maroma Closing
Generations Maroma is in the process of transferring all of its amenities to its sister resort and adjacent property, El Dorado Maroma. According to its parent company, Karisma Hotels and Resorts, Generations Maroma is adding its suites, Chakay restaurant, and bars to the pre-existing El Dorado Maroma property due to the “overwhelming demand of El Dorado Maroma”. Generations Riviera Maya, a family-friendly resort success, will absorb the bookings meant for Generations Maroma.
