Ritz-Carlton Cancun Drops Its Flag Effective August 31, 2022

A reader dropped us a note that there is no availability on Marriott’s website for Ritz-Carlton Cancun past August 31, 2022, which is usually an indication that something is going on.

The inability to book for future dates usually means that the property is either reflagged or exiting the chain, and we were in touch with Marriott.

Ritz-Carlton Cancun Availability:

No problem staying at the Ritz-Carlton Cancun this month.

But nothing shows up for September onward.

Marriott spokesperson told us the following:

We can confirm that The Ritz-Carlton, Cancun will cease operating under The Ritz-Carlton brand flag as of August 31st, 2022. The owner company and Marriott International continue to discuss next steps

I stayed twice at this hotel in 2014, and one turned into a Compensation Clinic case:

Conclusion

The Ritz-Carlton Cancun will not be Ritz-Carlton effective on September 1, 2022, but it is unclear if affiliation with Marriott continues, perhaps under another brand.

I have seen favorable reviews of the JW Marriott Cancun that many prefer over this Ritz-Carlton.
