Ramada Residences by Wyndham Opens in Tulum With 190 Rooms

Tulum, Quintana Roo — The Ramada Residences by Wyndham hotel has opened in Tulum with 190 rooms, billed as the first property of its kind in Mexico.

Manuel González Guerrico, a representative of operator Ruha Hospitality, said the building was originally designed as a condohotel, but the developer chose to strengthen its commercial position through an alliance with an international hotel chain.

He said the project began about five years ago and that, after weighing several options, the company reached an agreement with Wyndham to bring the property into its portfolio. He highlighted the building’s architecture, which relies on latticework screens to maximize natural ventilation, along with carefully selected finishes and furnishings — features he said have earned it architectural recognition.

Occupancy targets

González Guerrico said the hotel expects occupancy of 25 to 30 percent in December, rising above 40 percent from January 2027. Those figures reflect the initial stage of operations, he said, and the operator is working on alliances with beach clubs, cenotes and event organizers to draw more visitors during high season.

Guests will have access to a pool, gym, coworking areas and laundry service, along with housekeeping during their stay and personalized help arranging reservations and transportation. The hotel is also looking for a food and beverage company to run a commercial space inside the building so it can offer breakfast to guests.

The opening creates 16 direct jobs and between 30 and 35 indirect positions, mainly tied to suppliers and support services. González Guerrico said those numbers could grow as operations expand and more services are added, strengthening employment tied to the tourism sector.

He said Tulum remains an attractive destination for hotel development because of its tourism profile and the growth opportunities offered by the Riviera Maya. Ruha Hospitality has operated in the municipality for more than five years, he added, and expects the coming high season to help establish the new property.
