Two new all-inclusive resorts, Amàre Cancún and Kimpton Tres Rios, opened in the Cancun area this autumn as officials cleared over 105,000 metric tons of sargassum seaweed in the first eight months of 2026. This surpasses the previous record set in 2025 of about 92,783 tons. The Mexican Navy's regional alert remains red due to excessive seaweed, with Coordinator Esteban Amaro of the monitoring network predicting continued arrivals into October.
The clearest beaches are on the north-facing side of Cancún, with Isla Contoy, Isla Blanca, and Punta Sam also reported as clean. While official nightly rates for the new resorts are not published, bookings are open through their respective booking systems. Travelers are advised to consider north-facing beach options in Cancún or Isla Mujeres for the best odds during the tail of the sargassum season.
