Royalton Riviera Cancun and Royalton Hideaway Riviera Cancun, both Autograph Collection All-Inclusive Resorts, will reopen on Dec. 7 following a full rebranding and a multi-million-dollar renovation that refreshed guest rooms, public spaces and event facilities across the two-property complex.

The updates, first reported by Caribbean Journal, include a redesigned convention center with new lighting and audiovisual systems, modern interiors and flexible room configurations aimed at supporting conferences, incentives and corporate gatherings.

Additional breakout rooms, networking lounges and upgraded service corridors were added to streamline the flow of large events. The properties now feature dedicated high-speed internet to support hybrid meetings and live-streamed programming, along with enhanced air-conditioning systems and other structural upgrades across the venue.

A Big Makeover

The broader renovation touched nearly every part of Royalton Riviera Cancun, the larger of the two resorts. The property features multiple pools, an expanded lineup of dining venues and a long stretch of beachfront space suited for both leisure travelers and large group programs. Family areas, adults-only spaces and meeting-focused zones are separated to help manage the resort’s high-volume footprint.

Royalton Hideaway Riviera Cancun, the adults-only section located within the same complex, underwent its own renovation with refreshed suites, redesigned pool and beach areas and updated restaurants. The property offers a more private atmosphere for couples and smaller incentive groups while still allowing access to the amenities of the main resort.

Yes, You Can Book With Points

Both resorts will debut new dining concepts, updated suites and redesigned social spaces as part of their first season under the renewed Royalton Hotels & Resorts brand identity. The rebranding maintains the properties’ Autograph Collection affiliation, allowing guests to continue earning and redeeming Marriott Bonvoy points.

The reopening comes ahead of the winter travel season, and December availability currently includes entry-level rooms at Royalton Riviera Cancun beginning around the mid-$200s per night, based on recent pricing data.

Royalton Riviera Cancun and Royalton Hideaway Riviera Cancun will begin welcoming guests and group bookings when doors officially reopen on Dec. 7 — part of a growing, changing landscape of all-inclusive resorts in one of the region’s original all-inclusive hotspots.

What It Costs

What about prices? You can find rooms at Royalton Riviera Cancun for as low as $285 per night in December, according to data from Google Hotels.
