Grand Hyatt Cancún Beach Resort, a new-build resort in Quintana Roo, Mexico, is expected to open in summer 2024, reports Hyatt Hotels Corporation and ownership group Diestra Realty, S.A. de C.V.

Situated in the eastern part of the Yucatan Peninsula overlooking the Caribbean Sea and nearby Isla Mujeres, the resort will feature 500 guestrooms—26 with their own plunge pool—and 46 luxury suites, including one Presidential Suite.

It will also offer 11 dining concepts featuring world-class chefs and iconic dishes reflective of the destination; six bars, including a lobby lounge bar, pool bar, and beach shack; an indoor and outdoor destination spa area and fitness centre; three swimming pools; and more than 16,000 square feet of meeting and event space. Additional offerings and amenities will include a kids’ club, activity centre, business centre and retail shops.

“Cancún is one of the most desired and booming leisure tourism destinations in the world, and we are thrilled to collaborate with the team at Diestra Realty to bring the iconic Grand Hyatt brand to this sought-after destination,” said Camilo Bolaños, Hyatt’s senior vice-president of development for Latin America and the Caribbean. “Hyatt’s recent acquisition of Apple Leisure Group (ALG) and our expanded portfolio of all-inclusive luxury resorts demonstrates our focus on high-end leisure travel. The new Grand Hyatt resort will be a critical piece of our strategy to grow Hyatt’s luxury resort presence in key leisure destinations that our guests, World of Hyatt members, and owners are seeking.”

The resort will be located within Puerto Cancún, a master-planned residential resort community that includes a full-service marina, golf course, resorts, time-share, condominiums, single-family homes, state-of-the-art fitness and recreation center, protected natural reserve, and a lifestyle shopping mall offering an open-air shopping experience with more than 220 tenants including fine dining, art galleries and children’s entertainment activities.

Grand Hyatt Cancún Beach Resort will join 18 additional Hyatt-branded hotels in Cancún, including all-inclusive luxury resorts across the AMR Collection brands.
