Marriott announced today that it has opened the 500th property in its portfolio within the Caribbean and Latin America. Almare, a Luxury Collection Resort, Isla Mujeres pushed the hotelier to this milestone with the all-inclusive, adults only resort located in Riviera Maya in Mexico.

This resort’s opening showcases Marriott’s growth strategy and continued expansion in the Caribbean and Latin America (CALA), particularly in the luxury and all-inclusive segments. In the past three years, Marriott’s CALA portfolio has grown from 300 properties to 500 properties. Approximately 10% of Marriott International’s global luxury portfolio is located in the region.

This resort is the 35th all-inclusive property and the 62nd luxury property in the region for the Luxury Group by Marriott International. This segment includes The Ritz-Carlton, Bvlgari Hotels & Resorts, St. Regis Hotels & Resorts, EDITION, The Luxury Collection, JW Marriott, and W Hotels.

Almare, a Luxury Collection Resort, Isla Mujeres is an adults-only resort with 109 suites. Each features ocean views from private balconies. Seven distinct dining venues and bars are included in this all-inclusive hotel along with the serene Alma spa, and an infinity pool overlooking the Caribbean Sea.

Brian King, President of CALA at Marriott International, said:

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 travelers to the Caribbean and Latin America. This exceptional property marks Marriott’s first luxury all-inclusive resort in Mexico, expands our Luxury Collection brand to a fourth property in the country, and strengthens our presence in the high-demand market of Isla Mujeres.”

Anthony’s Take: Congrats on 500 properties in Latin America and the Caribbean. I find that pretty much anywhere I go in the region I can find a Marriott-affiliated property and many new luxury options.
