The property further strengthens Marriott Hotels & Resorts’ growing all-inclusive portfolio in Mexico, which includes Marriott Cancun, An All-Inclusive Resort in the northern Cancun region.
As highlighted by Jamal Satli Iglesias, Chairman of Grupo Satli: “This landmark collaboration brings together Grupo Satli’s investment strength, Marriott International’s global recognition, and Aimbridge Hospitality’s proven all-inclusive operational excellence to develop a benchmark project in one of the world’s most important destinations.” He added: “We are excited to begin this project, with an anticipated opening in 2027. It represents Grupo Satli’s strong commitment to international growth and collaboration with leading global tourism brands.”
Uriel Burak, Vice President of Development for Marriott International in the Caribbean and Latin America, commented: “We are thrilled to embark on this exciting collaboration with Grupo Satli for this project, and to continue our successful work with Aimbridge. This signing underscores our commitment to expanding the all-inclusive segment in Mexico, marking our first Marriott Hotels & Resorts branded all-inclusive property in the Riviera Maya region.”
With more than 9,900 properties across 146 countries and territories, Marriott International leads the global hospitality industry, offering one of the most extensive and diversified hospitality platforms in the world.

The resort, owned by Grupo Satli as a hotel real estate investment fund, will be located on a 445-acre site with 1,312 feet of beachfront, and will offer an extensive array of facilities and services designed to deliver a differentiated guest experience. The property is planned to feature 13 food and beverage outlets, 12 pools and expansive water areas, a large-scale spa, more than 43,000 square feet of indoor meetings and events space, a Lazy River, two tennis courts, and a variety of leisure and entertainment amenities.

Our editors also keep these proactive efforts in mind, shaping many bulletins to cover "new openings, new projects, and new market developments."
