The Waldorf Astoria Cancun will boast the  signature spa,Hotel Boom, the Waldorf Astoria spa's treatments will incorporate local ingredients and native traditions.

The hotel's rooms and suites will bring guests right to the waterfront with ocean- and mangrove-facing terraces and private balconies.

The adjacent Hilton Cancun will feature half a dozen all-inclusive dining experiences of its own along with a swimming pool complex. The hotel will also offer curated experiences designed to immerse guests in local art, gastronomy and culture.
