Posadas Opens Devossion by Live Aqua With 122 Rooms on Isla Mujeres

Isla Mujeres, Quintana Roo — Posadas has added a new property to its Mexican Caribbean portfolio: the 122-room Devossion by Live Aqua Celebration Resort & Spa Isla Mujeres, formerly the Izla Hotel by Fiesta Americana.

The Mexico City-based hotel group said the conversion strengthens its offering on the island, which sits a short ferry ride from Cancún and draws both leisure travelers and couples looking for a destination wedding venue.

“At Posadas we believe that travel is much more than arriving at a destination: it is about discovering it, connecting with it and creating memories that last,” said Enrique Calderón, Posadas’ vice president of hotel operations. “With Devossion by Live Aqua Celebration Resort & Spa Isla Mujeres we continue to evolve our offering to reach those looking for authentic experiences, warm hospitality and a different way to enjoy the Mexican Caribbean.”

Three Pillars of the New Property

Posadas said the Devossion by Live Aqua Celebration Resort & Spa Isla Mujeres is built around three experiences:

  • Local gastronomy — dining that reflects the identity and flavors of the region.
  • Wellness and disconnection — spaces and programs designed for rest.
  • Celebrations facing the Caribbean — an intimate atmosphere pitched at special gatherings and destination weddings that make use of the island’s landscape.

The announcement follows Posadas’ September relaunch of The Explorean, a brand that operates under a “Full Experience” concept in Cozumel and Kohunlich, also in Quintana Roo. That overhaul was designed to extend the guest experience beyond rooms, food, drinks and activities and into deeper engagement with each destination.
