JW MARRIOTT CANCUN RESORT & SPA ROOM REMODELING TO BE COMPLETED IN DECEMBER THIS YEAR

The JW Marriott Cancun Resort & Spa will conclude its major room transformation on December 11th of this year. All 448 rooms will be completed in a new contemporary design fetauring a lot of wood and textures.

The new rooms are inspired by elements representative of Mayan culture, such as sacred bird engravings depicted in Yucatecan huipiles knitwear and decoration that simulates fossils of snails previously found in the cenotes of the Yucatan Peninsula. The different shades of turquoise water ochestrate in perfect harmony with the range of sand colors achieving a fusion between the room and the Mexican Caribbean. The rooms are amazing!

The 450 rooms at Marriot Cancun, formerly referred to as CasaMagna, were refurbished last year in a classical Mexican design.

The two hotels are situated next to each other in the best location of Cancun’s hotel zone and are an excellent option for your meeting and incentive programs. They also present a unique opportunity for huge groups as they can be used in conjunction as was the case earlier this year when we collaborated on the Advance Auto Parts group of 1,600+ pax. These properties allow more interaction among your attendees as they are connected vertical structures. They are also located on one of the best beaches in the world offering many ocean view rooms and immediate access to all that is available in the hotel zone. The function space is tremendous and they are able to accommodate a full all-inclusive package for your guests.
