The Riviera Maya near Cancun, known in the past for secluded beaches and somewhat for its isolation, is well on its way to becoming a hot new convention destination.
A major reason: five new luxury hotels are all opening, including a Mandarin Oriental.
“Riviera Mays is on the up and up as a destination,” said Alan Love, director of sales and marketing for the Mandarin Oriental Riviera Maya.
The 401-room Fairmont is scheduled to open this month. It has 40,000 square feet of meeting space, indoors and outdoors.
The 128-villa Mandarin now under construction will also have 2,700 square feet of meeting space.
