Cancun’s Ritz-Carlton Unveils New Beach

A new beach is born at The Ritz-Carlton, Cancun. The Caribbean oceanfront resort has recently added to its world-class facilities a 300-feet-deep beach as part of Cancun’s $71 million beach recovery project, which required extracting and pumping more than 5.2 million cubic meters of sand using 2,137 tons of equipment, equivalent to 4,470 linear meters of pipe use on land, floating and submerged for the restoration of the sand.

As a result, the white-sand beach in front of the resort has been restored and is larger than ever before. To highlight the dramatic expansion, guests staying at The Ritz-Carlton, Cancun will experience a beach celebration program that includes dining literally on the beach, moonlight fiestas, salsa lessons, ocean-inspired spa treatments and much more.

Beach lovers can reserve the resort’s Beyond Beach package available until June 1, 2010. Starting at $559 per room, it includes overnight accommodations with views of the Caribbean, complimentary Beach Villa during stay, daily breakfast for two, a beach bag with tailored amenities and a farewell gift. In addition, guests may pre-order picnic baskets to enjoy luncheon in the comfort of their own beach oasis for an additional price.
