“We are thrilled to welcome Seadust Cancun Family Resort to the Playa family,” said Fernando Mulet, Executive Vice President and Chief Investment Officer of Playa Hotels & Resorts. “Cancun is a competitive market with a high barrier of entry and often limited opportunity for less seasoned operators. The execution of this management agreement exemplifies Playa’s proficiency as a management company and is further evidence of the value and profitability that only Playa’s business model and expertise can deliver.”

Playa’s growing all-inclusive portfolio includes resorts by Hyatt, Hilton, Wyndham and, most recently, Marriott’s Luxury Collection.
