It’s the first time I’ve seen a definitive opening date for Armar House Cancun (formerly Melody Maker/formerly ME Cancun by Melia). Hotels.com has the opening date listed as Sept. 22, 2022; even the website says “opening soon”, so make your own decision about whether to book if you are interested in this resort.
I’ll admit, I don’t know much about this new resort, Palmaïa House of AïA, which opened Dec. 2019. I do know exactly where it’s located, though, because I walked down to this beach area Aug. 2019 when I stayed at Iberostar Tucan. This resort is located just south of Sandos Playacar in the gated community of Playacar. Obviously the resort wasn’t finished yet when I saw it from a distance, but from what I did observe it was on a pristine stretch of Playacar beach with many rooms having oceanfront views. That’s a great start in and of itself.
Majestic Elegance Costa Mujeres is a brand new resort which just opened north of Cancun. It recently changed its name from Majestic Elegance Playa Mujeres to Majestic Elegance Costa Mujeres. I recently posted a video of a swim-up room; here’s a video of the public spaces in order to give everyone a look at its general architecture and design.
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.
