Get ready, Cancun! A new wave of luxury all-inclusive fun is heading your way, and it’s bringing a distinct Turkish touch. Rixos Hotels, renowned for its spectacular resorts and its “All-Inclusive – All Exclusive” concept, is set to make its Mexican debut, with Cancun as one of its star locations. This exciting development is part of a bigger plan by Ennismore (the cool lifestyle hospitality company Rixos is part of, in partnership with Accor) to bring more of its top-notch, all-inclusive experiences to sunny holiday spots in the Americas.
So, if you’re wondering what the fuss is all about, let’s unpack it!
What’s the Big Deal About Rixos?
Imagine a holiday where “all-inclusive” doesn’t just mean your meals and basic drinks are covered. Rixos takes it to a whole new level. Their “All-Inclusive – All Exclusive” philosophy is all about generosity and making sure every guest feels like a VIP. Think sprawling buffets with global cuisines, a la carte restaurants serving up gourmet dishes, premium beverages (yes, the good stuff!), and often, 24-hour dining options because who doesn’t love a midnight snack on vacation?
But it’s not just about food and drink. Rixos is famous for its incredible entertainment. We’re talking live music, spectacular shows, themed parties, and sometimes even international DJs. Days are packed with activities too – from sports and fitness classes to relaxing spa treatments (some of which might be part of the ‘exclusive’ offerings, so always good to check the specifics!).
And for families? Rixos is a dream. Their Rixy Kids Clubs are legendary, offering fantastic programs and dedicated spaces for children of all ages, meaning parents can get some well-deserved relaxation time knowing the little ones are having a blast in a safe and engaging environment. At its heart, Rixos blends warm, traditional Turkish hospitality with world-class luxury and a vibrant, energetic atmosphere. It’s about creating an experience where you truly don’t have to worry about a thing – except maybe which amazing restaurant to try next!
Cancun, Get Ready for Your Rixos Makeover!
So, which lucky Cancun spot is getting the Rixos magic? Drumroll, please… The Grand Park Royal Cancun is the hotel set to be transformed into a dazzling Rixos resort!
This isn’t just a name change. The plan involves significant renovations to align the property with Rixos’s high standards and unique style. This means we can expect upgrades to rooms, restaurants, and public areas, all designed to deliver that signature Rixos luxury and vibrant energy. While details of all the specific new features are still unfolding, you can bet it will include a fantastic array of dining options, top-tier entertainment, and that all-important Rixy Kids Club.
The Grand Park Royal Cancun already enjoys a fantastic location, known for its beautiful beachfront right in the middle of the hotel zone. With the Rixos touch, it’s poised to become an even more sought-after destination for travelers looking for an unforgettable, high-energy, all-inclusive escape.
When Can We Pack Our Bags?
This is the question on everyone’s minds! The transformation of the Grand Park Royal Cancun into a Rixos resort is part of a broader initiative that also includes rebranding two other Grand Park Royal properties in Mexico – one in Cozumel and another in Puerto Vallarta – into Rixos resorts.
According to announcements made around April and May 2025 by Ennismore, these rebranding and renovation projects are expected to roll out, with the newly minted Rixos hotels aiming to open their doors throughout late 2025 and into early 2026. The exact timeline for the Cancun property’s grand Rixos reveal will become clearer as the renovation progresses. So, keep your sun hats and dancing shoes on standby!
This move by Rixos and Ennismore is a big thumbs-up for Cancun as a leading global tourist destination. It signals a growing appetite for premium, experience-driven all-inclusive resorts.
So, get ready for a taste of Turkish delight, Cancun style! It sounds like our future holidays are about to get a whole lot more “All-Inclusive – All Exclusive,” and frankly, we can’t wait to see the sparkle.
