As part of the agreement, Marriott planned to add 20 hotels in its portfolio. It entered the all-inclusive space in 2019 with the acquisition of Elegant Hotels’ seven properties in Barbados.

Marriott International Caribbean and Latin America chief development officer Laurent de Kousemaeker said: “We are thrilled to continue working with Blue Diamond Resorts to add another exciting all-inclusive resort to the All-Inclusive by Marriott Bonvoy portfolio.

“The Autograph Collection Hotels brand champions individuality with each hotel being a product of passion, making this brand an exceptional fit for this significant project and the other 20 Blue Diamond Resorts that have joined the collection.”

The Royalton Splash Riviera Cancun will feature an all-inclusive resort and waterpark, a theatre, bowling alley and other water attractions. Besides, the resort will have several on-property restaurants and total nine bars.
