Hilton and Fuerte Group Hotels have announced that Amare Cancun Adults Only All-Inclusive Resort, Curio Collection by Hilton, is scheduled to open on October 31, 2026. The announcement was published in July 2026 and describes a 429-room beachfront property on Boulevard Kukulcan in Cancun. This article sets out what the two companies have said, what they have not said, and which questions are worth asking before you consider booking a stay in the opening weeks.
What has been announced
The resort is on Boulevard Kukulcan, about 24 km from Cancun International Airport, and sits in a protected bay. It will be owned and managed by Fuerte Group Hotels, an Andalusian family business founded in 1957, and will carry the Curio Collection by Hilton flag. Hilton says the hotel will take part in Hilton Honors, the company’s loyalty programme. The announcement says brand integration work, including improvements to some public areas and to food and beverage offerings, is being carried out before opening, which suggests the hotel is an existing beachfront building being converted rather than a ground-up build.
The announced room count is 429 rooms and suites, spread across two adjacent towers. The main tower has 20 floors and the secondary tower has six. Each tower has its own rooftop pool, and the announcement says every room has an ocean view. In total there are three outdoor pools. Other facilities named include a fitness centre, a spa with nine treatment rooms, and a hair and nail salon with a bridal suite. There is also nearly 10,000 square feet (926 square metres) of meeting space, including a 7,600 square foot ballroom, which hints that weddings and small group events are part of the plan.
Dining and the all-inclusive offer
The announcement lists nine restaurants, nine bars and a coffee shop, all included in the all-inclusive rate. Hilton says the dining concepts were developed with Michelin-starred chefs and blend Mediterranean technique with Mexican ingredients and Latin American flavours. The resort is also described as following Amare’s “Cosmediterranean” lifestyle concept. Other programming mentioned includes sunrise and golden-hour rituals, Mediterranean-inspired wellness sessions, resident DJs and live performers, and rotating exhibitions by contemporary Mexican and Latin American artists.
Treat the chef claim with the usual care. The announcement does not name the chefs, the restaurants or which concepts require a reservation, and it does not say whether any premium drinks or dining are excluded from the rate. Those details are the ones that decide how an all-inclusive week feels, so they are worth asking about directly. Our guide to resort planning articles includes a method for comparing inclusions between two resorts.
What has not been published
Several things are missing from the source material. No nightly rates were disclosed in the announcement. Some aggregator sites have quoted specific starting prices, but those figures did not appear in the primary announcement, so we are not repeating them. The announcement also said reservations were expected to open through Hilton channels during the summer, but it does not confirm that bookings are live or which dates are available. Check the Hilton booking site and the resort page for the current position rather than relying on a cached search result.
The announcement also does not say whether the opening will be phased. New resorts and newly converted resorts often open with some restaurants, the spa or parts of the pool deck still to come. This is common across the industry and is not a criticism of this property, but it matters if you are planning a trip in the first weeks. TUI BLUE Curacao, which we covered recently, is one example of an all-inclusive that opened in phases.
Who it may suit
An adults-only policy, a Cancun hotel strip location and a 24 km airport transfer point to a particular type of trip: couples, friends travelling together, and small celebration groups who want an active resort with nightlife and a bridal-friendly set of facilities. It is a different proposition from a quiet, low-rise property further up the coast. The Cancun hotel strip is a busy stretch, and a beachfront with a large two-tower building will usually feel lively rather than secluded.
If you prefer a calmer base, compare it with resorts in the northern part of the region. Our page on Costa Mujeres explains how that area differs from the hotel strip, and several of the resorts we profile there are positioned as quieter options.
Questions to ask before booking
- Which restaurants, bars and the spa are open on your arrival date?
- Are all nine restaurants included in the rate, and which need advance booking?
- Is any part of the building still under refurbishment, and what is the policy if noise or work affects your stay?
- What are the resort fees or state charges that sit outside the rate?
- Does the cancellation policy change for stays in the first weeks after opening?
- Which room categories are in the six-storey tower and which are in the 20-storey tower, and does that affect the pool or noise level near your room?
How to treat opening dates
An opening date in a press release is a target, not a guarantee. Dates for new and converted resorts move more often than guests expect, and we have covered several this autumn where sources disagreed. If you plan to book, avoid non-refundable rates until the hotel is taking guests, keep flights flexible if you can, and look for recent guest reports once the first visitors have stayed. A hotel’s first month is not a reliable sample of how it will run in its second year, in either direction.
We will update this article if Hilton or Fuerte Group publishes a confirmed opening notice, rates or phasing details. Until then, the facts above are the announced position as of July 2026, and anything beyond them is a question for the hotel.
