Apple Leisure Group’s subsidiary, AMResorts, has added to the company’s footprint in the popular Mexican destination of Cancun with the signing of Dreams Sands Cancun Resort & Spa.

This will be the 12th property for the Dreams Resorts & Spas brand, and marks another chapter in the rapid expansion of AMResorts’ portfolio, which has grown by 20 percent in the past year alone.

“Apple Leisure Group has strong distribution in Cancun, and an equally robust performance track record to match,” said Alejandro Zozaya, CEO for Apple Leisure Group. “Client loyalty and demand, and owner confidence, continues to fuel the growth of the AMResorts portfolio in today’s competitive hospitality industry.”

The existing Grand Oasis Viva property will close for an extensive renovation and adaptation to meet the Dreams Resorts & Spas Unlimited-Luxury® standards. AMResorts will assume operations when the property is officially rebranded this September.

“Cancun continues to be a top destination for travelers around the world, and will remain a priority as Apple Leisure Group strengthens our presence in existing markets while extending our reach into new regions,” said Javier Coll, Executive Vice President & Chief Strategy Officer for Apple Leisure Group.

Family-friendly Dreams Sands Cancun Resort & Spa will have 441 spacious rooms and suites, all with ocean views, facing 650 feet of white sand beachfront in the southern end of Cancun’s vibrant hotel zone.

“Dreams Sands Cancun demonstrates the brand’s commitment to offering guests a unique, luxury vacation experience in highly desirable destinations,” said Gonzalo del Peon, President of AMResorts. “Dreams Resorts & Spas continues to look for new opportunities to continue exceeding our guests’ expectations.”
