Rosewood Mayakoba on the Caribbean coast of Mexico is planning an “enhancement project” later this year.

The property will be closing Sept. 7 for two weeks to allow for “the transformation of select guest accommodations, dining outlets and public spaces,” according to Rosewood.

The changes will include a reconfiguration of outdoor space in the property’s Beachside Lagoon Suites, the addition of two-bedroom suites and outdoor showers for Beachfront Studio suites and enhancements to the resort’s four restaurants.

The project will total $1.5 million, according to the company.

“At Rosewood Mayakoba we are constantly reinvigorating the guest experience by introducing thoughtful details and innovative elements, so that our guests have a reason to come back again and again,” said Daniel Scott, Rosewood Mayakoba’s managing director. “The upcoming enhancement project is a further testament to our commitment to continually refining the guest experience, and we look forward to welcoming guests back to rediscover the best of the Riviera Maya this September.”
