While summer travelers flock to Mexico’s Caribbean coast in peak season, savvy travelers know that the shoulder seasons of spring and fall offer the perfect combination of ideal weather, fewer crowds, and exceptional value. The newly opened Almare, a Luxury Collection Adult All-Inclusive Resort on Isla Mujeres, provides the perfect base for experiencing this Caribbean paradise without the summer rush.
Almare represents a significant milestone as Marriott’s 500th property in the Caribbean and Latin America, and more importantly, their first luxury all-inclusive resort in Mexico. This adults-only sanctuary features 105 oceanfront suites, each offering stunning ocean views and private balconies that showcase the Caribbean’s ever-changing palette of blues.
The resort’s contemporary design pays homage to vernacular architecture while incorporating locally inspired interior elements. Each suite, ranging from 280 to 495 square feet, provides a refined retreat with modern amenities including 55-inch LCD TVs and mini-fridges, perfect for storing that perfectly chilled bottle of champagne.
Almare’s dining program elevates the all-inclusive experience with multiple distinctive venues:
BOGA focuses on indigenous cooking methods and local ingredients, celebrating traditional Mayan cuisine during the day while offering sophisticated international flavors for dinner. This gastronomic journey connects guests with the authentic flavors of the Yucatan Peninsula.
Seasalt provides a 360-degree ocean view dining experience, blending Mexican and European culinary traditions in a setting that captures both cultures through warm colors, natural materials, and intricate patterns.
Botanik transforms the pool area into a tropical escape, featuring wood-fired cooking and expertly crafted tiki beverages that transport guests to various tropical destinations around the world.
Almare elevates the all-inclusive experience with a comprehensive array of activities that cater to every interest and energy level. The resort’s holistic approach ensures that guests can find their perfect balance between adventure and relaxation.
Water and Adventure: Crystal-clear Caribbean waters invite exploration through complimentary non-motorized water sports, while guided outdoor adventures and extreme sports provide thrilling experiences for the more adventurous. The resort’s location on Isla Mujeres offers easy access to some of the world’s best snorkeling and diving sites.
Wellness and Rejuvenation: The ALMA Spa serves as a sanctuary of calm, offering wellness and beauty therapies from soothing massages to rejuvenating facials. The spa’s water circuit provides a strong connection to natural elements for intimate relaxation. Complement spa treatments with holistic wellness sessions including rejuvenating yoga and immersive ancestral ceremonies that foster harmonious balance for mind and body.
Evening Entertainment: As the sun sets, Almare comes alive with nightly entertainment ranging from theatrical performances and live music to beach parties, adding a touch of magic to each evening.
Sports and Recreation: The state-of-the-art fitness center offers personal training sessions and classes, while various sports and recreational activities ensure excitement and vitality throughout your stay.
Almare’s exclusive maritime transfer service transforms the journey from Cancun into an integral part of your luxury experience. Weather permitting, guests enjoy a seamless 20-minute boat journey directly to the resort’s private dock, serenaded by the soothing sounds of the ocean.
The experience begins with ground transportation from Cancun International Airport to the Renaissance Cancun Resort & Marina at Puerto Cancun—a comfortable 30-minute ride. Upon arrival at the marina, Almare’s welcome team escorts guests to either the vessel or a designated area where they can enjoy refreshments and complete pre-check-in procedures in anticipation of their voyage.
As the boat glides into Almare’s private dock, guests are welcomed with a warm “Ma’alob k’iin”—welcome to paradise in Mayan. This thoughtful arrival experience eliminates the typical hassles of reaching Isla Mujeres while providing stunning views of the Caribbean coastline.
When weather conditions restrict boat navigation, Almare provides alternative ferry transfers via either Xailing Marina or Ultra Mar Marina, ensuring guests can always reach their island paradise safely and comfortably.
Visiting Isla Mujeres during spring (March-May) or fall (September-November) offers compelling advantages over peak summer travel:
Weather perfection: Spring and fall provide ideal conditions with temperatures in the comfortable 80s, lower humidity, and minimal rainfall. The Caribbean Sea remains warm and inviting, perfect for the resort’s infinity pool and water activities.
Crowd-free exploration: Isla Mujeres transforms during shoulder seasons, with pristine beaches, easier restaurant reservations, and a more relaxed atmosphere that allows for authentic connections with local culture.
Enhanced value: Shoulder season rates often provide significant savings compared to peak winter and summer periods, allowing travelers to experience luxury at more accessible prices.
Beyond the Resort: Isla Mujeres Awaits
While Almare’s all-inclusive offerings provide everything needed for a perfect getaway, Isla Mujeres itself beckons with authentic experiences:
The island’s compact size (just 4.3 miles long and 2,130 feet wide) makes exploration effortless, whether by golf cart, bicycle, or on foot. Spring and fall weather creates ideal conditions for discovering hidden beaches, visiting the colorful downtown area, or taking day trips to nearby attractions like the Mesoamerican Reef System.
As part of The Luxury Collection brand and Marriott’s Bonvoy program, Almare offers the reliability and service standards discerning travelers expect, while maintaining the intimate feel of a boutique property. The resort’s ALMA Spa, fitness center, and dual swimming pools provide ample opportunities for relaxation and rejuvenation.
