Cancun Beach Project ProgressPosted on Wed, Dec 09, 2009
The latest news from Cancun on the Beach Restoration project is that the dredgers have now reached the stretch of shoreline where the ME and Park Royal hotels are located. The dredgers are working round the clock and can be seen during the day heading towards Cozumel and the sand bank located off the north coast of the island which was selected to provide the rest of the sand required to complete the project.
The handling and progress of the beach project is being carefully monitored by the Mexican Environmental Agency (Profepa) and a host of conservation groups. A Profepa spokesman said today that the installation of geo textile nets in the Punta Nizuc area to prevent water-borne sediments from damaging the coral reefs is now urgent as restoration work continues to advance towards the south.
In other news, construction continues on the concrete wall between Punta Cancún and the Golondrinas islet which will help protect Cancún’s restored beaches.
On a recent inspection trip, environmental experts from Mexico, Argentina and France mentioned the global interest that the Cancun Beach Restoration project is generating and commented that it could be a model for Mediterranean countries, which are also suffering the effects of coastal erosion, to follow.
Stay posted, we hope to have more news on the beach project and the timeline for Royal Resorts soon.

Dear Helen: Thank you for writing to Royal Resorts News. The wall is being constructed between Punta Cancun (the northern headland) and an offshore islet called Islote Golondrinas. I wouldn’t imagine that it would affect wave action on the beaches in front of the Royal Resorts, however, I will certainly try and find out more details from beach project engineers. I hope that this helps.

Will the wall that is being constructed affect the wave action on the beaches? The children as well as the adults of our family like to play and body surf the waves.
Thanks

Dear Tanner: Thank you for writing to Royal Resorts News. Your hotel is not part of the Royal Resorts and as a result I am unable to supply the information you are requesting on menus and tours. However, I can tell you that beach restoration has already taken place on the shoreline where your hotel is located. I hope that this helps .

Hi Joanna,
We will be staying at the resort from Dec. 29-Jan 05 of this year. Will the beach restoration have moved past The Royal Cancun by this time? I’m looking forward to some time on the beach and would like to know if I should be getting my hopes up!
Also I’ve looked everywhere for Menu’s of the restaurants (as I like to have an idea of things I should try before return home) and have sent an email requesting them as well as scuba diving programs available at your resort to the email that given to be my personal reservation help. If you could email those to me or provide a link I’d be grateful.
Thanks!
Tanner
