The Ritz Carlton Cancun has received its 16th consecutive AAA Five Diamond Award, making it the first hotel to receive this esteemed distinction. The luxury resort remains the only AAA Five Diamond resort in North America to receive triple honors from the AAA for not only the property but for its two restaurants, The Club Grill and Fantino.

“The Ritz is one of our most elegant properties and is considered a true Cancun gem,” said Jesus Almaguer, CEO of the Cancun CVB. “Cancun is honored to be home to hundreds of top hotels and resorts and is proud to be a fast-growing luxury destination. Whether guests are looking for high-end spas, one-of-a-kind culinary delights or renowned top notch hospitality, Cancun continually ups the ante to answer the growing demands of a discerning high-end market.”

Cancun is home to four AAA Five Diamond Award winning properties, including the Ritz, and three AAA Five Diamond Award winning restaurants.
