JW Marriott Cancun Resort & Spa and Marriott Cancun Resort, the area’s iconic sister resorts that are together referred to as the ‘Marriott Cancun Collection’, have been green-lit to reopen their doors in line with Quintana Roo’s phased, post-COVID-19 re-opening strategy.
Impressively, JW Marriott Cancun was awarded the city’s very first safety and cleanliness certification by the World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC).

Cancun itself was among the first destinations to receive WTTC’s SAFETY Stamp, a testament to the suitability of its new measures and health-safety protocols at airports, hotels, restaurants and other visitor venues.
The certification is intended to aid travelers in choosing destinations and vendors around the world that have satisfied a certain level of health and hygiene standards.
JW Marriott Cancun began welcoming guests back on June 8, while Marriott Cancun Resort is soon to follow suit, with a scheduled reopening date of July 1, 2020.
Both resorts are showcasing their recently revamped spaces—JW Marriott Cancun’s having completed a $40-million upgrade of all 447 of its ocean-facing accommodations, and Marriott Cancun Resort’s recently-debuted new lobby area and trendy, Tulum-inspired ‘SacBé Beach Shack’, which sprang onto the scene last summer.
“There’s no greater feeling than welcoming our guests back with refreshed, inviting spaces that lay the foundation for an exceptional vacation experience,” said Vice President and General Manager, Christopher Calabrese. “We continuously strive to elevate our offerings, and that started with JW Marriott Cancun’s design-forward room renovation. When taken in combination with Marriott Cancun’s new lobby, the final touch of an earlier renovation, it feels like two virtually new hotels.”
Also in the pipeline for launch later in 2020 is ‘Hana’ a Polynesian restaurant that’ll replace the Argentinian eatery, ‘La Capilla’ at Marriott Cancun Resort. The new dining venue’s design is set to feature distressed brick accents, intricate wood detailing in the ceilings and pops of yellow, decked out with contemporary furniture, wall-planters and Polynesian-inspired imagery.
Travelers who are keen to soak in the Marriott Cancun Collection’s special brand of beachfront relaxation can book the “Viva la Vacation” package, which offers a $100 daily resort credit with minimum three-night stays, valid now through December 30, 2020. Resort credits are good toward anything from a beach cabana or spa treatment to restaurant dining or beer buckets on the beach. Customers can simply enter code ES7 or simply shop under the “Deals and Packages” tab when browsing the Marriott website.
Rates at the Marriott Cancun Resort currently start at $199 per night, and $289 per night at JW Marriott Cancun Resort & Spa.
