The Riviera Nayarit is a beautiful region of Mexico that has been hit hard by the economic downturn, but it’s rebounding and then some.
The zihuatanejo crime 2021 is a travel blog post about the Riviera Nayarit in Mexico. It discusses how the region has been rebounding and then some, with new restaurants and hotels opening up.
The Riviera Nayarit’s hotels are on the mend, with even better days coming. The Pacific seaside resort experienced a 20% increase in visitors in June compared to the same month last year. Tourism authorities attribute the achievement to a calculated reopening that was gradual enough to avoid the area taking any steps backward.
“As we look ahead to the second semester of this year and beyond, we are excited about the many developments that will continue to entice curious travelers from all over the world to this very unique treasure on Mexico’s Pacific coast,” said Marc Murphy, managing director of the Riviera Nayarit Convention and Visitors Bureau (CVB).
Punta de Mita, a celebrity and golf paradise, Sayulita, a surf hotspot, and La Cruz de Huanacaxtle, a fishing town, are just a handful of those “unique gems.” There are 23 beach communities along the Riviera Nayarit’s approximately 200-mile length north of Puerto Vallarta.
According to CVB spokesman Richard Zarkin, the state presently only allows for 70 percent occupancy at hotels. “At that decreased capacity, we are fully filled this summer. And, what’s more shocking, rates are unusually high for this time of year. Our holiday season is usually February, March, and April. August is known for being a slow month. However, some places are charging $1,500 per night right now,” added Zarkin.
“This has been an unusual summer in that you see more Mexicans traveling,” he said. However, hotels are now hosting a greater number of Americans. In May, we began to see a number of typically winter planes from the United States arrive. We were able to fly directly from Portland, Seattle, Salt Lake City, and Chicago. Both JetBlue and American will be launching additional routes next year.”
Hotel Renovations
Punta de Mita Conrad
The pandemic may have pushed back opening dates by several months, but the hotel scene in the Riviera Nayarit is currently on a roll. Two headline properties made their debut in the fall of 2020. Namely, the 324-suite Conrad Punta de Mita and the One&Only Mandarina with 104 villas and 54 private homes. The Mandarina Polo and Equestrian Club is slated to open by 2022.
“Less than a year after opening, both of those properties are performing very well. The Conrad is located in Litibu, a Fonatur development. By the end of the year, we’ll build an Iberostar Grand there, right next to the Iberostar Playa Mita,” Zarkin added.
In other hotel news, the 363-room Dreams Bahia Mita Resort & Spa and 278-room Secrets Bahia Mita Resort & Spa have soft launched. “They are in Punta Burros, one of the surf breaks in Punta de Mita. The hotels were designed by the famous hotel architect, Sordo Madaleno. One selling point for agents is that they are offering surfing as part of their all-inclusiveness,” said Zarkin.
Secrets Bahia Mita Resort & Spa
The Auberge Resorts Collection 59-suite Susurros del Corazon in Punta de Mita is set to open in Q1 2022. A new Fairmont and Ritz-Carlton Reserve will be built in the Costa Canuva master planned neighborhood.
Rosewood Hotels & Resorts’ fourth property in Mexico, the 130-room Rosewood Mandarina is on track for a 2023 debut. Also set to open in 2023 is the first all-inclusive Delta Hotels by Marriott resort in the world. The current 117-room Grand Matlali Hills Resort & Spa resort in in La Cruz de Huanacaxtle will transform, expand to 300 rooms and rebrand as the new all-inclusive concept. It will be located on the Marriott-developed NIA complex. Additional plans announced for 2023 and beyond at NIA include a 400-room Westin resort, a 240-room Ritz-Carlton resort, an Autograph Collection hotel with 300 rooms and a 500-room Marriott Hotel.
All of this should be good news for advisers.
“This year, we have 1,300 more hotel rooms than last year. We’re doing better than before the epidemic, even though our hotels are only 70 percent full,” Zarkin added.
