It’s been nearly a half century since Club Med opened its first resort in the Mexican Caribbean (1976 to be exact), and now the company is planning a big renovation to its Cancun resort. 

In what the company is calling a “multi-phased” project, the resort will see a host of upgrades and renovations over the next 12 months. That includes the creation of a new infinity pool, a new beach bar and what Club Med is calling a “Tulum” style aesthetic. 

So what else is changing? The resort is upgrading its deluxe rooms, along with its “sports and wellness island,” along with a new-look Family Oasis.

So will the resort be open this whole time? Yes, says Club Med, with a target completion date of July of next year.
