Marriott, Playa Hotels & Resorts to Open Paraiso de la Bonita in Riviera Maya
Marriott International Inc. and Playa Hotels & Resorts have announced the opening of Paraiso de la Bonita, a Luxury Collection Adult All-Inclusive Resort, in Riviera Maya. Scheduled to open in late 2024, the resort will undergo a conversion process before introducing The Luxury Collection brand to the Mexican Caribbean.
Laurent de Kousemaeker, Chief Development Officer for Marriott International in the Caribbean and Latin America, expressed enthusiasm about expanding The Luxury Collection's presence in Mexico in collaboration with Playa Hotels & Resorts. "Paraiso de la Bonita will continue to deliver on The Luxury Collection's promise of providing access to the world's most fascinating and coveted locations, while offering the unmatched amenities and services that discerning global explorers have come to expect from the brand," he stated.
Located in Puerto Morelos, a charming fishing village just 20 minutes from Cancun International Airport, the resort is set on nearly 6 hectares of lush landscape between a mangrove reserve and the crystalline waters of the Mexican Caribbean. The property will feature 100 elegant, oversized beachfront suites, along with a variety of amenities, including a 2,000-square-meter spa.
In keeping with the brand's commitment to showcasing local cuisine, the resort will offer unique dining experiences through its three restaurants, including one with a 5,000-bottle wine cellar and a sushi and ceviche bar. Additionally, there will be a separate "resort within the resort" featuring 10 suites with private pools and beach access, an intimate pool, and two exclusive restaurants with a private chef.
Fernando Mulet, Executive Vice President and Chief Investment Officer for Playa Hotels & Resorts, highlighted the strategic initiative to offer unique concepts in the all-inclusive segment. "Paraiso de la Bonita, a Luxury Collection Adult All-Inclusive Resort, Riviera, is the result of Playa's strategic initiative to offer our clients unique concepts in the all-inclusive segment. We are excited to continue expanding our portfolio together with Marriott International. Demand for all-inclusive luxury products has been growing significantly, and we are proud to lead this transformation," Mulet commented.
The partnership between Marriott International and Playa Hotels & Resorts marks a significant step in meeting the growing demand for all-inclusive luxury products, promising to deliver an unparalleled experience in the heart of the Mexican Caribbean.
