Marriott International is celebrating the opening of its 500th property in the Caribbean and Latin America.

Elevated all-inclusive offering

The Almare, a Luxury Collection Resort, Isla Mujeres, Adult All-Inclusive is another push from Marriott to elevate the all-inclusive segment to a more luxury standing.

The 109-key property features ocean views, private balconies, and luxurious amenities for all suites. Food and beverage offerings include seven distinct dining venues and bars, an Alma spa, and an infinity pool overlooking the Caribbean Sea.

“The debut of Almare, a Luxury Collection Resort, Isla Mujeres, Adult All-Inclusive as our 500th property in CALA marks a decisive moment in our expansion, as it demonstrates our continuing commitment to evolve and adapt to meet the needs of discerning travellers to the Caribbean and Latin America,” said Brian King, President, CALA, Marriott International.
